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
