PRONOUXCID DEFOWR THE GENRtiZA AsautMharoF SOUT GARortu.r, s, Is XEcei3Oity bitani IL Senators and Gentlemen .f the Homuse of Re. piesentativerof South Carolina: I ippe4r before you'lo qtiilifv for the offce to which I have been elevated by your siffrages, and athough I must ex j)erienco the emotions of pride and grn. tifiation which a scene like this would inspire in any lheart, yet the too painful conviction impresses itself upon me, that I owe this mark-of your, approba. tion morn to the exertions of old and cherished friendships. than, to any mer it of my own;, and I. should. consider myself as an entirely unworthy recip lent of your 'kindness, if my heart did not re.echo with gratitude to'its inmost " recesses. feeice which I am about to as uela a t jnoall t1incoer i rnportalnce but more Piatilladirly it is so in this eventful crisis, when-denenors and dithl. culties ure casting their dark ad gloomy shadows around our federal ro. lations. I trust that I approach it with a "due sense of the deep responsibility it involves, and with a flrm determination to devote all my powers and energies to sf the discharge of its arduous duties. And may I not indulge that the same kinlness which induced you to bestow the office upon me, will prompt you to assist and support me amid the diflicul ties that may encompass it ? I may, no doubt will, frequently err, but never in. lentionally, for, thank God, I bear about me a heart burning with indignation at my country's wrongs, and which has never known a thought, feeling or emo tion, higher than that which bents for the glory, honor and welfare of my na. tive State. Although the office of Chief Mingis. Irate is one full of responsibility, be. cause it involves the "faithful execu. tion of the laws," yet it has little or .nothing of patronage or of power con nected with it. Yet there is a degree of influence that always belongs to high official stations, which can be ex erted for good or for evil, to a greater or lesisextent, according tonthe capacity for - management in tihe inctumbent. It is important, therefore, that the opinions, the purposes and feelings of him upon whom it is bestowed, should be fully *known. From the views I have ever enter. .tained of our internal policy, 1 see but lidle that I would alter or amend, noth-. ~-~ing that 1 would radically change. [In. ing in the firm conviction that the institlu. tions of a country, exercise a powverful narta irresistible influence upon the formation of the character of its citi. j4i"rns, and( being justly proud of theo re 'tation whiich South Carolina has ever ' ~nedl, I come into this office, to the ~extent and meaning of thle word, e4 srvative. Although I am not wedded to ancient laws and cus. 'naccount of the sanctity which ' abtiquity may throw aroundl ,.e,.e under these laws and it, nation characterizedl by eve. ~ hing that is great or noble has grown ndlourished, I feel that whlat experi.. .ene hamsshownr to he the cause of those great resualtsu, should be protected from ,the ruthless hand of thet innmovator, and should b hel sacred on account of their usefulness arid venerated as time Jhonored montuments of the wisdom of .our ancestors. I know that by many .abroad who cannot appreciate its chia. -racter, or are envious of its tones, wve have been sneered at as braggarts on account of the just pride we feel. ini our beloved State. .Yet he who looks upon thmat Ste as his nursing mother, who. with unfaltermrg allegiance is willing to dling to her destimnies throngh wveal as wvell as won, is not ashamed to think hi1. Go, that his lot has been cast amongst hier w rm .hertd' undt gtnermus sons, an I that her sunny -plitin contain the hiomei around- Whioh ore clustered the objects of his heart's devotion. What ever of influence, I dare possess, shall be honestly devoted to the maintenance of our State institutions In their integ. rity. ' The most important discretionary power which is entrusted to the execu live, is that of "granting reprieves And pardons." Although it is proper that this power should be placed in his hand: that "the laws may be 'executed it mercy," yet it is ono so liable te abuse, and in some instances has beet so entirely subversive of the very emb., ofjustico, that the question has gravels suggested itself to the minds of marny whether more good or evil has resulte< from its exercise. Nor do I think this abuso has ever arisen from a deliberat< design to pervert the power or to per. petuate an evil, but from a weak though sometimes irresistible yielding to the purest and holiest svmpathies 01 our nature. I do not profess to be ahovc the frailties of human nature--certain ly not above its sympathies; but it will be my honest endeavor to forget the feeling of the man in the discharge 01 the duties of the oflicer, nod to grani pardons In no instance, where the peace or good order of society would stifl-r by it, or where the majesty of the law might he violated or dishonored, in contemplating our fede ral reln. tions, I wish I coul Nee tic samo cause for satisfhetion that I couhl see in our own State Institutions. The federal Union Is now at peCn with all the world. Its power and inaluernco Are every acknowledged, its commerce whi. tens every sea; yet with all these ex. tornal signs of splendor and prosperity, within there is discord, dissatisfaction and discontent. Two great parties are arrayed in deadly (hostility against each other, and what is the cauise of this aostitity. it results on the part of the South from a knowledge of the foul injustice which has been practiced against it-from the insults antid injuris which has been htaped upon it by a government which was inslittted fhr its protection, ;;nd to tptfifypport of whiclh j iasover con. tributed'moro that its jst proportion; from the indignation 1 hiebh every true Southern hea;rt must free, that we are called upon to share in aill the dangers, ex pens es and privations of its conqiuests. and are permitted to enjoy onie of their benefits. Iie di issat ishactiot and dis. content of our p.eopdle a ith their govern. meat is just tiul 'natural. Otto of the principal cnd: of govertmnenit is the so teurity mor property", yet out, prop:'rtv is danuer from tin other power upon ti face of' the earth, than fIrot that which wa-its tmstituted for its protection. I doubt it there ever was I govermneaaint purtely cotns:ittiiiial in its charter. whicl has i;ade such rlil strides in breraking dawn every ci:nstitutinal huar. rier, and in the prostration of the rights and liberties of its citiz'ns. To prove the truth of Ihis assertion, I need but point you to the acts of c-ongress for the last few years. Ile Imast he willfully blind who dues lant see in theim a settled deterainatiot ol the part of congress to break dlowtn the institution of slaverv -an institution tha prtection of which is indelibly Stamped upon the constitu. tion--nt institution, with which all our feeling, all our assocetions, all our1 in. te rests, rna y, all our hope iis are so comat ple tely blended liat its de'straionm must carry wa'ith it in its d readfl aIc rash the ru in atnd d owtn ill or ourC beh'loie couant ry.

Whfo can conatemapl ate withtoit a shod dei e siseqnatn-. ofe obo.itu.: of slavery in the Staten. Their terrors are not alone to be seen in the misery caused to the slaveholder, by stripping hin of his property bought and honest. ly paid for by a life of industry- .not in the starvation and ruin of the mer. chant and mechanic by the prostration of those who buy his merchandise, or pay him for his labor-not in de sorted fields and decaying towns and villages, but in the still more direful consequences resulting from the com. mingling together of two races so en tirely distinct in their genius ant) cha. racter upon terms of political equality. One or the other of them must be an. nihilated, and that too, amid scenes of terror, of anarchy and blood, greater than which any history records upon her darkest and bloodiest page. But even laying aside this question, we have sufficient reason for dissatis. faction with the Federal Government. The whole tenor and complexion of its acts show that the Constitution-so -far us the rights of the South are concern ed, aflrird not the slightest protection. The will of the majority irrespective of its cheecks and balances is the law of the land. Our liberties, our property, our char acters, are to be submitted to the tender mercies of a majority, whose every thought feeling and emotion, is concen. trated in one burning focus of hatred against us and our institutions. Under these circumstances, what are we to look for, or what are we to expect. Through the din vista of the dark and gloomy fu. ture before us, we can see no cheering ray of hope thut our condition will he bettered, but, on the contrary, a sad vis. inn of the gradual ruin and decay of our State, until we are reduced to a condi. tion of collonial vassalage, far worso than that from which our fathers rescued them.-Sad experience has proved that the safeguards placed over the rights of our country in the form of parchment, is but parchment at last-that the only oilectual bulwark which oan be thrown around them, is a bulwark of men, who know their. rights and have theqcourege to maintain them. 'r ;". " AInally we are dissatisfied: with tIr federal government because it has ut. terly failed in accomplishing the ends for which it was created. The "har mony and good feeling" it was designed to promote between the States, the in justice the fanaticism, the importinence of the North has entirely destroyed. The "general wellare," it was intended tio promote has resulted in building tip one faction upon the ruin of the other. h:e "doimestic peace and tranquility" it was intended to secure we have never known, for under its protection those are actually supported and encouraged who are setting icasures on foot amongst us the fatal termination of which can alone he seen amid idl the terrors of blood and burniings. And yet we are even called upon to venerato such a govermtnent which would stnip the brand of infer iority and degradation upon us, which iike a liiel iialaria is scattering its blighting and withering influence all around-which by the consummation of its neasurcs. woul light up the dark future belore us by the blaze of our own ha ppy homes. We are called upon to shout hosannas to a union which has been entirelv perverted from itsoriginal pitrposes into ani engine of fraud, corn ~cipt iouniaul ioppresscion, or incur the odlim oft reckless disorgantisers w ho for amittious or wvicked piurposes wvould pull down a glorious fabric cemented byv the blood of our fathers. Thn histor y of our State, from the first 'fawning ot our revolution to the present t ime, braiids the foul aspersion as false. Wheltneve-r and wvherever the st:tr spingledl banner i has been raised, her patrit sons haveo been among lie first to rally to its supjport, and the bloody trac(ks over which they have trod, testify that they did their duty.

We have been accused of rashness beware that we sulfer not from tameness -lest we "hug the delusiye phantoms of hopo until our enemies have bound as hinuid and foot.'' W ith these opinions and feelings, Sen ators and Representatives, I shall deem it my duty to use whttever influence my position may- give me, to keep alive that spirit of resistnnce which now ani tmates the hosoms of nv countrymen, and to carry out rhithfully and promptly any neasu:res you in your wisdom may devise to put the State in a coniition of thorough preparation for whatever may happen. Yet I love the cause in whicb we are engaged too well to hazard it by any rashness or indiscretion. And I beseech ou to reiember that we are now actors in one of the most important scenes the world has ever known. We are on the eve of great i-vents--events which may not oiily deceide- our fate as a nation, but t he fa:te 1)flibterty t hroughiout all generatioiis.
