The ADDRESS of the Convention of South-Carolina, prefnted by the Senators and Members of the Houft-of Representatives from that Stat: TO ■THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. S I R, the people of the St<Ueof South-CaroHna, now met ax.d V V fitting in Convention, leave to addrclsyou, and to em brace this firft opportunity which has been afforded us of congra tulating you on the high and important station of Prcfident of the -ntted States. Such, fir, has been the impreflion made upon the public mind by a due sense of your eminent fcrvices, and such the atFccliyn of a nation, wliofe dearest rights you have defended, that one wish pervaded the whole continent of placing )ou at the head ot the Federal Republic, and of enjoying under your pro tection, as our firfl magistrate, the bleflings of that free govern ment, for the attainment of which we are so much indebted to your exertions as our general. The promises of your eailier life, had prepared your fellow-citizens for your acceptance of the military command in 1775, when dangers and difficulties sur rounded us on all fiaes, arid the profpe6l was dark and gloomy; but tfiey mult ever remember with gratitude and admiration the wif <-om and energy ot that system, which could induce men accuf ♦rr.cd to the most perfect equality to submit to the rigorous du s ? cainp, and thus convert the tumultuary array of an tin cifc:,>..nc.d yeomanry into a permanent force, capable of making lt,e veter.ifi army of our enemies. With similar fen imem? do they call to piind the efforts of that heroic fortitude, which not in the wo.ft of umrt, but rose foperior to •very imsfartunr, infuGngnew spirit into the boforns of an unfor tunate army, and animating them by the force of example to un cergo the fevered toil with alacrity, and to endure with pcrfe-er ance the molt accumulated distress. It was the will of an all-wife Providence, that the great ob je«a we were contending for should not be attained without some difficulty, and that wt frould be taught to observe and to value ft)c virtues which spring up in adversity ; but the time of our fe veic trial was at length terminated—thecloud which had hovered over us so long was at length dispelled, and the f, n of American J; lory appeared tn its full splendour : to have borne this change 'ortune with equanimity, to have employed the lail hours of command in reconciling our gallant fold.ers to a disappointment which their long fuffermgs during the war had but ill prepared them for ; and having checked the rage of civil discord in it, in fancy, to have relignod all power, and cheerfully descended into the walks of privatelife, arc circumstances that mud forever ill umine the page of history, and which, as they cart never be ef faced tiom our remembrance, so we trust they will be dte D ly en graven upon the minds of our posterity To tr.nfmit to that posterity the fpin't of a free canilitution in ""' ve P u r,"y ,s,h <" ho P c wl "d' animates us all; we hope also, that they will learn from us to cherifo every P rateful fentimem towards you, Sir, and that they will be proud, as we are, to par ticipate individually in the honor which America may so iuftly claim to herfelf, of haying produced a citizen, whose love of ry was devoid of ambition, whose view embraced no objects but the freedom and the happinefi of.hts countrymen ; whose interitv RininJrlh mO / f un!joundrd confidence, and who com bining the prudence of retreat, wt>, all the aOive valour of atta-k was .t once the ft,eld and thefword of his native country The tranquil,ty of retifmeni after the danger, ot war and the fatigues of public life, is one o. tho/e regards which exalted merit feenu fnJ C „ n * t0, T j Ut wh ] ch yOU '' .fe'kw-citizens weie copftramcd to deny you.
