sens~ions is unnliecessary. We mfust 4)onI
sieir tile stupendous1 issues now lpre
sented to tile 1peopl)1 of the Uit~ed
States. The conlt.cst is between gov
ernmenl~lt on1 one hianid and( the people1
01n tihe othier. The arr'oganlce of offiee
wiche has alssumedO~ to taike the control
of atihirs must be checked. Inu this
crisis, if'the peoplo0 do nlot rise, if there
ty has reached its y1 n icle nud is be
glinin rapidly to ticlineC-then, inl
deed, will thle pleople soon have do
scendedoc to degradation. Thlis Angilo
Saxon libert y, started aitIfl opposition01
and1( diflicuilty, was ait last esta blhished,
an~d it finally landed Inl tils counitry.
NOW, we haOve liberty Saicrificca to
p~ar'ty. Our forefathlers built upa tem
ple of liberty accordinlg to the mnost ad
vanceed ideal yet attainued, nud settled
.the question of tile right of the people
to govern. Th'1e first struiggle wvas iln
the~ conventionl of 1789. Thue iramers
of otui system of' government then de
voted thenmselves to tile importanit1
work of establishing a conlstitutional
gover')nent They cast aside all per
sontal considerations andh all desire for
persional powver. Now, let us look at
oiur present eonlditionl. The law is
still tihe sanme. Thlere Is no0 power inlI
the ofilcer-It is all in tile offie. Thbe
2ostitution, theo wriitten law of the
lanld, hlas beenI amended. Certain
forlns wore necessary to-these amend
menlts, whlen tile people 3hould desire
tiheil. And those people were them
selves to make tihe amendmnuts. Thuns
it will be seen1 that the real power, the
ultimate scV.reggnty, is in thle people.
The constitution not only settled the
qjfestlin of sovereignty, butt establish
'ed certain formns of' governiment, and
certain forms to be used when any
chlanlg shotuld 110 needed in the ftunda
mel iid law. The sovereign peop)le
*made tile governmenit their creature.
This colStittion wats theO most ad
vancod form of liberty and govern
ment known to the civilized wvorld.
Blut a few -year's passed, and the party~
in power openily avowed that they had
"cam ped outside tile conistitution."
Tis they sought to justify by tihe ox.
.traordinary bOnditiont of 'things then
-existinug. That aet of' arbitrary
power has5 been followed by others un
t - il the questioni is no0W presenteod to tiloI
-American people whetherl they will]
- maintain tile liberties thety and their
Iithor'e have fought for, or will givef
uip this govermlnonit established by
such stupendous efforts. We are in the
mnidst of a great civil crisis. Thei
gaeatest American general is about to
be t-Ocalledl to the Presidential ehair.
The questioh for the people0 is, Shall
we supp r~ hmn AIl o outside of'the
.conlst it tofl ~o-*~1 e still dwell 1

IS Mi1. PR1ESIDET-Tlie longer I live and 1
1 the greater iny observation of men, the V
more ami I impressed with the smallness i
'of gratn ess and the utter unreliability i
)f and thorough insignificancy of ail human (
it afltirs. I have been perliaps a great ani
hero-worshipper as any man in tio State (
and I still think that the sandards of num
0 hood aro higher hero than in any other
of sotinkbu close eb:-ervation and stud'y
, of ankidlhae taught me1 that ue all inii

,weak and little to be trusted." Truth
fulily thrcfore igiht 1 answer your in-.
Is terr'ogator'y by saying that I amu no mnan's
a man. That I have seen the folly of pin
Sning my political faith to the coat-fail of
any one, and that hcnceforth 1 intend to
[t adopt the now pirevalent rule of looking
a well to self-initerest b~y serving other 1)e0
1ie in just the same rtiit in wvhiich they
serve me. But the qutestionl is asked

[c I tinik tile question e.<ecoelingly unwise, 1
in fact irrelevant here, irrolevat because .
you have just adopted a resolution do
tOoclar'in git to be the sense of this conven- I]
)r tion that no nomimations shatll be made
in June. Now if we stood alone in this
.matter it might be claimed as an open
~ question, but if the papers of the State
.are to bo r;elied upon, a large miajority of I
w t'1e counties hav'e already p~ronouned in!
futoor of postponing the nominations- -so1
"" tiimt there is no doubt wvhat theo action of i
1'. the Columbia convention will be. Th'le I
3, position of this body then is this, we I
Shereby enjoinm yon from voting for any
~body in June, but we nevertheless wish]
IS to know whonm you intendi to support.

10 what then ? I do not believe thaot it wvill
.c be so narrowed: really it is not so nowvi
The material for Governors in South Caro
'lina is by no means liinted to those two
Ymost excellent gentlemnen, and I appre
ih end that several dark horses will be
t~rotted out. If the KeiWs and Lburier an di
several others are to b)e relied on, Gonerali
SGary is already disastrously defeated and
I. I hofre and believe that iha friends will
Lnot at this time continue to urge him into
a fruitless content. The p~robabilities of
10 this contingeney then are execedingly r'o
a mote and your question is again narrowed
r. to this: Being enjoined from voting for
-anybody in Juno, atnd Gary havi ni beeon
~'guilty of politioal hari-hari, whom do yon t
r- mntend to support, Jiageod or Gary ?
yr Well, Mr. President, i nmust try and tin
swer even this irrelevant question and I
Y shall do it in my owui way. It' it is intend.
-. ett, and I can sce no other meaning, t~hat
*- we the people of Fairfield shall over-roach
not only our county , bounds, but alsot
oyestp helimits of general proiety
, ihrfr the purpose of b'si1 lig up
.d General H~agood at the expense of General i:
., Gary or of joining in the common hue e
and ery that has yelped at the heels of
SGeneral Gary from the mountatins to the a
'seaboard, then consider me out--for I am
alwvrys for the undler dog in the fight. I
gshall v'ot~o for him as surely as I go to the
08 convention. Mr. President, this whole
t- matter is as I have said unwise, irrelevant,
and should not have been Introduced I
here. Peace and harmony are of the ut. t
*most importance and we will lose noth. I
g ing by cultivating chaity and forbearance t
Stowards each other. Gary has his many -
faulte but he also hiasfolldwing in the Ataito,
y convention. Why will we unnecessarily I
. irritate this element which hasj proven o'1
invalnable importane, to Doemeeracy
heretofore. I do not say that lie Is or was
n my choice for governor at this time, but C
~o I (10 recognize claims which he has upon V
othe deoracy and I hops and believe t
0that there is honorable reward yet in I
storo for him, but be that as it may, I a
here enter my protest and I desire that I
.,t1 may go out to the county that Fairfield f
has got ,ne' soofo the old sobool who
g rejrobates atlythlitg like rudeness in theJ

Col. H. C. Davis said that the election
C delegates was not a personal maat
or, but a matter of prlpFliie. It was
le business of the Convention to
ho00s0 delegates who would carry out
lie knowat wishes of the people. To
ring the mattetr to a test, ihe offered
he following resolution:
Relsolved, Thatit. is the sense0 of this
ontventionm that the delegates to the
tate Conv'enioni be instructed not to
'ate for General Gary.
Major Woodward said he thought It
Do sevetre to inistruct delegates against
nly man. H-e thought the resolutin
ilght be modified, and yet express the
snse of the present convention. He
iso stated that for the jake of harmony
e would decline the nomination as
elegate to tihe State Convention.
General Bratton then rose and said:
We are inl thle midst of a grave and
inportant crisis. Jut God's name, let's
ske the best mani that can serve us.
nI God's name, let's not add faggots

ever agreed with General Gary. I
ould not in conscience support hint
yr the nomination for Governor. I
o nat ad.it that Gieneral Gary has
een abused. I would give him all the;
redtit for his services, as I would to
ny othter man. All did their part in
