attacking the lmfors at the November
Com, es wallas the County Commissioners,
was almost Aktribus in its boldness—+o much
so as to carry with it the idea that there
would be no halting in hinino skulking--
no backing down. The inference was fair
that he would undertake to show that Dem
ocrats are not the right hind of material to
have on the Juries—and that he would even
prove that in "one case " at the last Court
4' political influences controlled the verdict."
All these thing++ were to hare been expect
ed of him by the way he started out: but
thus far he has failed to meet the points of
his own creation, and is week after week
trying to get further from them.
Bat he must return to the main issue.—
The task may not be a pleasant one to him.
No matter. It i his own fault. Ile must
learn to know that respectable gentlemen,
(no doubt his betters.) in the conscientious
discharge of their duties, under their solemn
oaths, are not to be insulted and aspersed
with impunity by every scribbler who may
be given newspaper room enough to do so ,
if he possessed a particle of the fairness
which he tries to point out a want of in
others, he would " face the music " without
hesitation, and make the attempt to sub
stantiate his grave accusations. Ile would
a! twat mention the " case " which he had
in his eye when ho declared that the " ver
dict was controlled by political influences,"
in order that his heinous charge might not
rest against all the Jurors at that Court.
Failing as he duce to " toe tJ mark "

must not complain if the publiclook 'Upon
him as a cowardly libeller—es one who
would not stop to misrepresent and malign
his fellow citizens, if he could gratify a
sefifsA feeling by so doing.
His last article is unfair and untrue in
many particulars, and what lie expecte to
accomplish by it if ho does not mean to
convey the idea that Democrats are unfit
for Jurors, we are at a loss to discover. This
insult "sticks out " in every position ho

South Carolina Convention.
Delete en the Address to the People of the
CHAtts.x.erox, Th-e. 24th.—The convention
ailupi e d the del lunation of the immediate
cauaeee which iuduccd end justified secession
from the Union. as amended. in aubstanee,
as follows : " Waiving a repetition of the
causes in the past. she declare to the re
maining Suites of the Union and to the
11141021 R of the world, the immediate cause
which led to the act."
The declaration refers M the causes which
led to the separation from England and the
declaration of the Colonies that they are
free and independent States. In pursuance
of this deelarution, the thirteen States pro
ceeded to exercise separate sovereignty. and
subsequently entered into a league bas ed on
the articles of confederation, but still retain
ing their sovereignty.
Under this declaration the war of the
revolution was brought to a close, in which
England acknocileliged each to be free.
sovereign. and independent States. Subst
quently the Union was tOfmett.
The declaration next declares that many
States have violated the compact in its let
ter and spirit. which con.equently als•cilves
the rest from their obligations to the Union.
/leferenee is made to three States Lich
have violated the fourth article of the con
stitution, and the declaration says pone of
thew have complied with the stipulations of
the constitution, mid Cl , llNeljuentiy Sc th
Carolina is absolved from her oblig•.ttion un
der the compact.
After detailing many of the causes which
hare led to the separation, the declaration
dim) enncludes:
" We, therefore, the people of South Car
olina, being delegates in ronvention artcm
bled. appealing to the Supreme Judge of
the World for the rectitude of oar inten
tions. leave solemnly declared the union
heretofore existing between this State and
the other States of North America is
red, and that the State of South Carolina has
resumed her position among the nations of
the world IL+ ft separate and independent
State, with full power to levy war, conclude
peace, contract alliances, tablish com
merce, and do other acts and things which
independent States may of right do."
Fully two hours were con.un led in making
verbal alterations to the address, and a most
rigid criticism was indulged as regards both
the address and declaration.
Finally they were adopted with only a
few diasenting votes.
Gov. Pickens has, agreeably to the ordi
nance of xecession, issued a proclamation
proclaiming to the world that South Carolina
is and has the right to be a separate, rove
reign. free, and independent State, and as
such has the right to levy war. conclude
pence, negotiate treaties, leagues or core
nan ts,an d do all acts a hatever that rightfully
appertain to a free and independent State.
