If there were any doubt remaining, it would be dispelled by the fact, that when the Iegislatur electcd, at the last session, the delegates who I were to represent the State at large, I in this Southern Congress, they el. ected R. V. Blarnwell, Langdon Cheves, WVade Hampton,s and John P. Richardson, all of whom, at the time, were supposed to be opposed to separate secession, and three of whom still maintain the same opiinions~ Whilo we have before us these same records of the action and pledges of our State, let us examine anothe of the statements by which the So. cession Party have misled-the people. Those who oppose Secession are con tinually traduced, as insincere in their professions of resistanc--the people' are told every where that the Co-opo ration rarty are mere timeiseryera, disguised submnissionists, add that so pessionists aloho are the real, 4otie mnovers of resistane. Lo~ the professions of both parties bytheir practice, and we shall arrive atmere just conclusions.
