that iay attendance at the Contention could be v
of any importance, but I am well satisfied that *
. it could onC M y general views of the griev-^
* 'jtfjjbiiW the^lMiUv &nd of the sab version of n
'me^fTonstitution'of the United Stales, are fully t
known to tlie public and will weigh for what ii
they are worth, as effectually as if I were again a
to declare them. The object of the Conven- c
tion, I undei stand to be, to declare whetlier, in 6
the opinion of the Convention, South Carolina <i
ought to secede from the Union- alone and n
without the concurr- nt nation of any of the o
other Southern States. -My opinion on the pro- J
pricty of the separate action ol one Southern *
State, and particularly of South Carolina, has r
been long known. There is no man in the I e
country who feels more sensibly than i do the t
danger, the dishonor, the infmny of the condi- t
tion of the South. No man is more entirely I
convinced .f the justice, tho Constitutional f
right, and the political expediency of the with- i
drawal of tire Southern States from the Union
by which they are enthralled, and which cannot f
fail, while it subsists to bring on them fur titer 1
and future danger, oppression and infamy. I 1
am satisfied that history furnishes no example (
of such disputable submission as tlu. which t
they now exhibit. The philosophy of liberty t
is jealousy. The proper action or patriotism *
is the earliest po-sible resistance to the slight- d
eat encroachment ou the public rights. The
lovers of liberty snutf the tainted breeze of tyranny
in the distant gale, and do not wait for
the overwhelming power of the storm. But
| we tamely endure the full blast ot the injuries (
mid insult* so profusely poured upon.us. we
hug our chains with somethiug approaching to ii
fondness, and submit to be governed by oar ?
our bitter enemies?and yet it is only uecessa- ?
ry to will it, to rend those clwtiiu and to be t
"redeemed, regenerated, and disenthralled !*? 1
As a citizen of thn South, i feel humiliated iu- t
( to the very ddst. Yet,_ I aju not of opinion, ?
, that South-Carolina should secede alone. Nor (
i do I think thus on aecouut of the dangers it s
i may provoke, or the saci dices it may require. <
rSo danger# and no sacrilices can be too great {
in such a cause. Hut one State of the South <
' cannot stand alone iu the midst of her sister
States. These States form one family in inter- i
| est, in blood, iu feeling, and iu endearing, so i
cial and historical relations and recollections, i
and such ties ought not to be broken but by <
dire necessity. Siouth Carolina, i know, has t
been grossly slandered and vilified for what no t
dispassionate man can say is rash or unwise. 1
She has done 110 more than proclaim the South t
em wrongs, and who can deny them, and to (
express a desire to unite with her sister States *
in resisting them. S;i? will be wrong, how- i
ever, in my poor opinion, if she separates alone 1
from them in her measures of resistance. But t
it may be said they have not proposed to do t
( what tiie honor and interest of all require to f
. be done to lede-in the character and to sustain <
, the rights oi' the Muuth. It is must true and |
deeply to be lamented, but we are but one ?
member ol this large family, ami have 110 right t
to dictate authoritatively, to the other members
of the family. We must wait upon them and r
iutreat them to move. We sheoid use no Ian c
guage of irritation. We must look with for- i
boa nine c on their hardi tea*? f
"Be to their faults a liuie blind, v
Be to their virtues very kind. n
And put a padlock on their mind " as to the past.
The people of our Southern sisters tire a ?
brave peo >le, whose fallters fought for liberty, x
who themselves were boru and nurtured in the t
enjoymunt of it, and who, therefore, know the x
value of it. It cannot be believed that such a u
people will long consent to be governed other. a
wise titan by a Government in which they shall j
enjoy equal rights, equal power and equal lion01
s. ') hey have been deceived and betrayed.
They must and will hearken to other counsellors
than those to whom they huve hitherto g
listened. The Mouth must and will rouse from t

racy of the country, 'l'ho Democratic party ^
once already, under tiie guidance of Jelfarsou tj
in 17U6,saved the ?>outh froui Uie ambition and n
toils of Federalism. We now contend against
the same people, but with tneso differences.?
'J'he leading Federalists were then high, lion- 1;
orahle, able men, who were ambitious to gov- k
era you but w^yse ambition was noble and s
therefore scarce a crime, t.iuugh dangerous to ^
t.ie true piiuciples of our Union. Tuese men h
have gone down to the grave or have been pro- v
scribed and discarded by their unworthy asso- a
ciutes, men with more loan tneir amtiitiou but is
none of their vii tues or talents. The object of ^
the old Federalist was a strong hut noucst p
Government. That of their suci essors is an a
anarchical tyranny, regardless of the provisions a
of the constitutions for the security of South- It
eru rights and animated by the principles of it
abolition and the frenzy of fanaticism. t!
Let the Democratic party, then, which ral- a
lied under the guidance and foresight of Jefferson,
and saved the South, again put forth its
strength. It embraces the great power of the
Southern States. Even the Whigs of the Sou tit o

P. S.?Since writing tlie above, I bare-Seen
ntiisated, that this Convention will be Called
i|hhi to act much more largely, than was at
irst suggested, upon the diiheult questions feeween
the Sooth and the General Government
f it shall do so, I have no doopt theaptiqn will
M?.unfortunate, it will, amongother evils, djide
the people of the Stateinto-parti e%jas lead
>f presenting tliat uftanimitj which new<fc>e*it
10 much eredit, and will probably, under future j
contingencies, give it nmcb strength. The
jreat activity and zeal of Soutb-Cjar^'n^ltam
lestroyed her moral and political influence).
I'hat zeal and activity were uut commendable'
u themselves; but under actual eiammafeii^cgp,
,vere impolitic. It was slanderously cad?sd
unbition and a desire to dictate,-that ^acjtgd '
lie jealousy of, other State. Measures, rigltf
ind proper, and patriotic, were cond^ihned,
limply because they came from Soatb-Caroinn;
and every dastard has justified his recrt*
m?i> iinHor thi? nreimliced and slanderous
iondenmation. If South CaroJii>* be Jt'iae,
ihe will wait upoo her sister States, jet a
oug while.. Let her be prepared to act, but
eave other State* tune to deliberate and
ennin for themselve*. Great changes roast
uke place in the sentiments of the Southern
>eople, or history is a fiction, and the nature
if man Iras changed. Let Sonth-Caroliua b?irepared
to join other States; hut aha cannot
ro toreiuost without injuring her, own and the
ornroon cause.
'1'here has been, I think, another error hi the
nanageroent of our great controversy, (cot pesuliar
to South Carolina)?we have had toe
nany Conventions. Such assembhtg^ are
iroper and only proper, on great occasion*?
vhen the sense of the people is doubtful. In
ilmost all, if not all other occasions, the organzed
power of Government is the safest ground
if reliance. It is particularly So iuthU ^asJ;
vhich is a case of usurpation and tyranny on
he part of the General Government, and our

md secured the independence of the
, proper power to control the .atnbitibu of the
ederal (Government when it might arise; and
iur great error and misfortune has been, that
ve have allowed the State Goverument^to be
irtually nullified, by not calling fhem^eatly
,nd vigorously into action. A concert hetyyeen
he State Governments, is tl?e great want,of; the
iouth, at this time) and this great object will
test be attained by the Legislative and Eaecu*
ive functionaries of their respective Govern*
