Like most lacii of distinction, Mr. Boylston
was the architect of liis own fortune v From
the time he entered College certainly until tlie
day of liis death, ho was a man of labor. As
a citizen be vm publio spirited and patriotic?
discharging all the duties of life, and especially
loving his neighbor-as .himself. He ?rui remnrkcbly
fitted for p Leiridaior, for he seemed
to baV$~an intuitive.bnowledge>of the forma of
-order and all kinds of parliamentary proceedings.
His judgment was.clear anij his memory
retentive. When calenders and journals
failed he was refergjd lo as infallible. As a
representative of the people he was fond of
popularity, but it was thot popularity, which
follow', which is the consequence and not the
*notiv* pf action He had*? deep scorn for the
mere demagogue and trickster in politics, lu
the noh!e professing to which he devoted his
lie. i.o war * mndftl. Quick, clrnr. discrimina
ting af'd learned, to ao analytieal mi tic] and
full memory be added ej Bltot ami industry, the
(liidispen?ible qualities- of a great lawyer.
Above the petty arte of the pettifogger, lie relied
rfX'luaively upon justice and law, as eluci*
dated bv argument and coforc*d by eloquence.
His pleadiuga were scieirtifio'and his compb?rtion
^leganl. His propositions were etuted
with that condensed brevity which indicates
clearness of compreheneion, and hi* otvle fulGlI e<t
the requisites oI Mr. Wirt's short rule apt*,
distinct*, ornate. If we were required to sav
what, was th? distinguishing rharacte'rioiic of
his mipd, we would say quickness of apprehension
and reteni ivenes* of memory. But'it
wa(i aJ a friend that Mr. I^ylaton was most'appreciated
by those who knew him. He had a

tion seemed necessary for him. He was not
happy without some <in? to coufide in. The
joys of social life he valued far above those
of ambition.' His sentiments were as lasting
as the'y we're warm. He was faithful in all relations
#nd in friendship as true as the needle
to the pole. His domestic relations were pf the
lender?st and most endearing kind. None
knew the treasures of h|s heart as wall' aa the
stricken family. He'w&a a devoted son, * foDjJ
trusted.brother, "and language fails to sxpresa

We may say of (he death of Mr. Boylston,
what be, quoting from a very great ui^u. onci
said in bis place in the Legislature of auelher

To the Voters of Orangeburg, Edgefield,
Abbeville, Newberry, Lexington, Richland,
and Fairfield.
FkllowCitizkns : After much hesitation, I
have consented to be put in nomination for
your Representative in tho Congress of the
United Stvtes. 1 publish this card-, because
the District is so large apd the time before Hie
election jo short that I could not, if I desired,
. oanvats the District. If a canvass were possible,
however, I do not think it becoming or
desirable. In my judgnieut,Hliis is no time for
a scramble for office. It seems to me that no
. one properly impressed with the solemnity o(
the crisis, And the delicacy and importance of
the duties to be dimohargdd, could seek the position.
Formjyself. I decline that I have no
wish bat to serve the State.
In 1788, South Crrolitin, through a corivention
of her pcopl'e, became one of the United
States. She remained a member of tho Uniou
until December* 1800, wjieh through another
convention of her people, she repeuj;fd the Ordinance
of 1788. sccedod from the United
States, and with certain other sister States en
tejred into another government known us the
Confederate Government. We believed that
we'liad the right to accede and that oaf security
required iU exfercise in co-operation with
our Southern sisten. Soutlt Carolina, in 1652,
proclaimed by soleipn ordinance'he right of
aecesaioD. It had long been the Belt left oSfti ion
of the State that-iho was sovereign and enti
tied to all the rights of sovereignty. She asaerted
self government in order to secure her
institutions and principles from great evilt>, believed
to bn imminent. Secession was in the
nature of a proceeding quia timet. It was con
ceiveu iu wie spirit 01 sen-preservation?not to
injure others bot save ourselvef. It cannot
be necessary to say that I rtm oue of those who
believed it was an iionest effort fur honorable
purposes, The United St ates Government denied
the right of seoeu on and waged war upon
the Confederate States, which stood upon
the defensive* A terrible war of invasion and
desolation followed, and filially the Confederate
States were overwhelmed by force ol
numbers and dissolved. At the end of the war
the State of South Carolina found the Confederacy
broken up, her citizens who survived the
terriblo ordeal exhausted aild impoverished,
her institutions destroyed, and the whole countryoccupied
by the military forces of the United.States.
Under these painful circumstances
the President of the "United States invited tlid
-States lately composing the Confederacy to reorganise'their
government* nn<I restore their
connection with the Coutlilutii/fl and Government
of the United States, npon certain conditions
the principal of which was an acquies
cence in the nbolitior* of slavery, which had
been- accomplished by the'military authorities.
The State, wisely in my judgment, responded
favorably to the invitatigu. It is true that
,i? : _r i -

.any more than did the old "wager of bntl.ltbuff
it does prove poorer Which -aaiiuol be disregards!,
A Provisional ? Governor wad up
pointed, who called another convention of the
people, which hng lately repealed the Ordinance
of SeueMion, und by an article in the
State Constitution. rei:ugnizud the abolition of
plavery slid prohibited its rc-calalilisluneut.
By repealing that of Secession,. the Ordinance
of 1788, through whiuh youth Carolina became
a member of the Union, wai ijito facto
revived, and we are this day in lite Uiiion precisely
as we boeamo iu 17bS aud remained op
' to I860.
We are now in a very anomalous position,
llelyine-upon the good faith and patriotic in
ten lions of ihe President of th? United States,
we have done all that was required .of us to
restore b'ir old relations to the Constitution
and the Union ; but still we bave not been
received into fellowship at Washington. That
important pattofthe plan of reconstruction
remain* yet to be ac'aompleihed. It is understood,
that a party will oppose the President's

them equality of rights, and will insist upon
still farther deapoiliog and crushing the States
of tR* South as conquered provinces. Thia
radical fanatical part} opposed our leaving the
Uni'jn. rfnd now they oppose ouf returning to
it. J Whan we were 10 the Uoio#, thoy abused
- us on account of slavery. They waged war
upon a* because we tried to separate from
tbem, and mow that we propose k> return with
out slavery, ihey still obJcct.' In this emergency,
