State of South Carolina, i
Executive Ofwce, State Department, -
Charleston, 20th January, 1%1. )
Sir: Your'communication to me, in which
you intimate the probability that the commercial
arrangements of this Slate, particularly such as
relate to tho payment of duties an ' ’he clear-
mice of vessels, will be interfered with by" the 1
make the transaction of business at the port ol
Charleston difficult and embarrassing, renders it
proper, under such circumstances, to consider
wlmt courstjof comluct you should adopt.
The difllcultles which you apprehend must
have a practical connection with vessels of three
kinds: those owned by foreign powers, or those
owned by citizens of other States which are
still members ol the Confederacy of the United
St..tos ; or those owned by citizens of this State,
or any others of the States, which have dissolv
ed their political connection with the United
Slates.
In relation to vessels owned by the citizens or
subjects of Foreign Powers, it is not easily un
derstood with wlmt regard to the. principles of
public law, which now command universal ac-
iiu.escr.cc und have been expressly recognized
by the Government of t he United State* at VVash-^
iugtou, any difficulty can arise. The commercial
intercourse between Foreign Power* and the
States which have dissolved their connection
with tho United States, ha* been hitherto regu-
j latcd by the several treaties or conventions made
: between such Powers aud the United States; and
I .such treaties or convention* continue binding
i on the Slates which still maintain the Confeder-
I ation known n* the United Stales.
In those treaties or conventions, the United
Stat es, acting through the proper departments of
! Government, authorized by tne Constitution of
the United States for ilmt purpose, have been
regarded by Foreign Powers, which were parties
to such treaties, as a political Government, rep
resenting all the Stales of the United States.
The separation of the State of South Carolina
and other States fr<j*u the United States—an act
of sovereign power, which each had the
right, to adopt when it would be proper for its
peace and welfare—devolve* upon this Slate or
any Slate* in the like condition, a necessity now
for the adoption of such treaties or conventions
aa may be proper for them in their new political
condition. .
The political independence of each of the seve
ral State* lias not been denied, except by those
who have desired that the confederation of the
United State* should be in fact an unlimit
ed despotism; with no recourse for the States
which composed it from the effect* of arbitrary
power, but in tbc naked act of revolution ; with
all the evils which usually attend that move
ment when inudo to accomplish a ehauge of
Government.
This necessary result of the proposition that
the withdrawal of the State from the confedera
tion of the United Suite* was an act of revolu
tion, would be of itself HUtficieul to show the
fallacy of a proposition, which involves that as
oue of its consequences. But in addition to this,
it i* to be renumbered that the adoption of the
Constitution ot the Uuited States, succeeded
the recognition of the Independence of the
scvcrul States, r.'.mcd In the Treaty of Peace,
that the Constitution itself was but au experi
ment. from which, while happy results were an
ticipated, grave doubts of its sufficiency were
uho entertained; aud thut the proposition as
now staled, would Involve the paradox of a
State having, at great OOstAcured it* Iudepen-
♦».«. .. n »iiua» "'•-IcMf it* security iu the
iCMeuce, executing
ment of the United State*, will bo quite suffi
cient to show Foreign Power* how unfouuded
is tho statement which may be made, of their
present movement being au act of lawless vio
lence, or their internal condition being that of
insurrectionary tumult. If a State hudiiol the
right to secede from the United Slates, then
would the cousenuenco* have followed, that
being free before the adoption of the Constitu
tion, it lost its freedom by becoming a party to
a compact to secure, among other things, a more
perfect frccdQtn.
The State of South Carolina having seceded
from the United States, either • in its separate
condition, or with the other States which have
also seceded, lias a right to the enjoyment
of that intercourse with tho Bowers of tho world
which is Intended, iu its development, to pro
mote the welfare of tin* human family; aud enti
tles all to be embraced within its limits who can
contribute to Its resources for good, or be hit-
f iroved l»y the benefits it confers. And it Is be
loved that no Boutliuoiit of public morality is
more cherished, nor any principle of public law
better recognized than that by which any politi
cal community is entitled to participate iu the
benefits, and contribute to the advantages, which
result from the intercourse of independent polit
ical communities upon terms of peace and amity.
Upon this statement, therefore, of the true
condition which this State, aud each of the seced
ing States maintains, there cannot be, with the
least respect to the principles of public law, or
the usages of iudepeudent political communi
ties iu tlioir relations, any cause of difficulty in
the regulation of their commercial intercourse
with each other. Iudepeudent Power* permit
no interference with the arrangements they may
make for their mutual benefit, unless that bene
fit is secured by a disregard of tho obligations
which should be recognized towards other
Power*.
Your letter, however, leads me to conclude
that the difficulty which Is apprehended arises
altogether ffom tho refusal of the Government
of tip; United States to admit the Independence
of the Stale, of South Carolina. And as the con
sequence of this denial, the supposod assertion
ol its right to enforce its iaw« Within the limits
of the State.
All that has been said in relation to the prcscul
condition of the Stale, is explanatory ol the
position it now occupies as an Independent
Power de jure. But, if this he denied by the
Government of the United Slates, it cannot be
contended, in tlie'"*faeo of existing fads, that
there is not now, in aud over the Statu of South
Carolina,;! Government de facto; capable of ex
ercising, and actually exon islng, all the functions
of an iudepeudent Government. To the relu-
j lions, therefore, which properly arise between
such a Government, the Government of the
Uuited Stales, ami Foreign Powers, it is proper
briefly to refer.
Ami I cannot but regard it as fortunate, that
in the consideration ol the relation which exl*ts,
according to the law ol nations, between any
Foreign Power and a government de facto, the
late Secretary of State of tlie United States aud
the now Secretary of the United States, then the
Attorney-General of the United States, have
given a construction of the law of nations in
this respect, in it* application to a cajgjprobably
similar lo that whicli may arise here. In that
case, the then Secretary of State, considering the
rights of loreiguer* to trade with a portion of
Peru then ill u condition of revolt, says “they
hud a right to enter any port of tlie Republic
open lo foreign commerce, and not blockaded,
for the prosecution of their commercial enter
prises; aud il was their duty, after such entrance,
to obey tlie authorities they might find establish
ed there. And the same principle wiiich inap
plicable to the Jurisdiction of a de facto govern
ment over persons, applies with equal iorco to
questions of internal administration tmu lling
the public revenue. These are subjects which
follow tlie possession of the powers of Govern
ment. Tiie views, therefore, which you present
at some length, of the laws of Peru, providing
trade in guano, and
liability to the municipal laws of Ay other go
eminent, whicli tnuy plenso to.exdfcuto Its laws

laws. This Is done because tho vessel is not
possessed of the protection will A exempts U
from a liability to the municipal D»ws of other
nations; and this protection It hah not, when It
does not acknowledge obedience to an indepen
dent political eommurtity. Whenever It docs

AUGUSTA, Feb. 9.0 P.M —Cotton.—The demand
dcncc^ at tlie earliest perlo"
enjoyment of that Iiulupd*
absolute surrender of it to a Government the.
sufficiency of which to subserve tlie ends for
whicli it wo* fmiiicd, could only be ascertained
by time.
The great trutli that each State in these United
States was intended to be, and always has been,
the immediate source of protection to the peo
ple who, within its limits, constituted the politi
cal community, for whose welfare it was organ
ized, has never been and could never bq ignored.
The Government pt the United States might be
thoroughly disorganized, and he rendered inca
pable of performing any of ita functions, yet
would each of the StatfTs which were united iu
the Confederation, known a* the United States,
in It* internal condition, present the evidence of
a separate government, perfectly organized, and
securing for the political community over which
it was placed, ull the objects lor which govern
ment is Instituted. The dissolution of the Union
would only tend to disorganize the political
agency which the several States, for purposes
chiefly concerning their united relations with
foreign powers, had created. While the dis
integration within the limits of each State of the
political communities, which were in each State,
would involve necessarily tho absolute extin
guishment of all Government.
Tho political organization, therefore, of the
several Slates, net less than the circumstances
connected with the adoption of the Constitution,
conclusively shew that these States have always
been so constituted ; that in the event of their
separation from the confederacy, no other ne
cessity would he devolved upon them than that
of establishing thoae foreign relations, uud pro
viding for such other matters affecting their ex
ternal condition ai while iu tlie Union were to
bo performed by the common agent of all tho
States.

these regulations, t!n-ii^, v *^. .’THtapdiMibn, or
modification or application, are questions of
ndmluislrniioii, to lie decided by tiie acting ad
ministrative power, to whose decision foreigners
must submit.” Tho then Attorney-General of
the United States, now It* Secretary of State,
lmd the same case referred to him for his opin
ion, considers the case at length, and announce*,
as one ot the leading propositions to support his
conclusion, that “when tlie people of a Repub
lic are divided into two hostile parties, who
take up arms and oppose one another by milita
ry force, this I* civil war.”
Proceeding then to ufllrni the existence of
civil war iu Peru, the Attorney-General add*, in
reference to the vessels of tlie United States,
“they Imd a right to be. protected when ‘they
obeyed the regulations which they found estab
lished ami iu force at the place.” The results ut
which tlie Attorney-General arrives, are then an
nounced by him in six distinct propositions,
whicli may be thus stated : that, iu a civil War,
where one party has possession of a part of tlie
country, uud there has officered tlie local gov
ernment, the jurisdiction of that party is perfect,
and foreign vessels trading there niUft conform
lo Its decrees; and that American vessels hav
ing obeyed the laws of the place, thus establish-
id and acted iu pursuance of license* given by
nation. When, to nil the nation* Af the world,
there is this guaranty, in that Is fotnd sufficient
assurance of the peaceful character aud proper
conduct of the vessel. Aud when this is so, the
the right of the vessel is complete, under the
law of nations, to that protection,'the essential
clement ol which 1* exemption fron^ tho muni
cipal laws of every other nation. JJC
Tills responsibility is, therefore;; connected
with the independence of a nation. But that
Independence is not lo be found only in the re
cognition of that independence by Other nation*.
Tho highest evidence of tlie Independence of a
Statu or Nation Is iu its ability to preveut the
execution of the laws of iiuy othertotHlo or Na*
tiou within its own territorial limits. When no
other authority Is exercised orcandbe exercised
within its limits than such us that State or Na
tion may prescribe, it asserts lu thilthu highest
attribute of political independence It 1* then
recognized as n Government dejure.
But the authority of a de facto Government
has been recognized ill the United States as suf
ficient to give to captures made by It the charac
ter of captures made, by n Government de Jure.—
Ami the policy of the United States ha* invaria
bly led lo its speedy acknowledgement of any
Government, where that Government exhibited
any -evidence of stability, and the people who
adopted it were earnest iu its support.
The Government of the United Stales has,
therefore, to determine whether it can find au
thority to c apture, on tho high seas, a vessel of a
State which has acceded from tho United States,
ami is, In fact, ail independent State, and con
demn il as torfelled, because of an alleged viola
tion of tlie law* of the Uuited States. To
conatitulu, however, a violation of the laws
of the United States, because of which a
vessel, subject to its laws, under tho pro
visions thereln made, may be forfeited and
condemned, the special terms of the law 'inist
he broken. But all of these law:, of course,
provide- with certainly certain mode* iu which
their several provision* are to bo executed. And
these provisions embrace a place, the form, the
time, and the persons, ut which, how, when, ami
by whom certain acts are to he done, ll all of
these are wanting: if compliance, therefore,
with them is a matter of Impossibility, even if
the owner desired *o to do; if thoro is no Cus
tom House, no Collector, no mode or manner in
which au indvidnal can conform to the law; and
that omission or absence known to the Govern
ment, uud not supplied ; any attempt lo punish
an individual or lorfelt property,! because of a
iion*comp1iniicc with them, would tie absurd.
Indeed, the absence of all such regulations
nmy safely be regarded as tlie OcqulusceiK'* ol
the Government of the United States h: the
right fill Independence of the power by which
they have been destroyed,and their eufoireiuect
rendered impossible. Even then, upon the nar
rowest and most technical ground, an attempt
to forfeit a vessel because ol her noti eompliuuce
with I lie provisions of the Law* of the United
States, would beforo nny impartial tribunal or
enlightened Judge, be summarily dismissed. Nor
would the repetition or renewal of the attempt
lo enforce such condemnation or forfeiture, he
regarded otherwise than tlie exhibition of a
tyiiinnieul wilt, stripped ot tlie power to make its
atlumptud exercise even respectable.
But in all such questions the commercial
lions ol the world are also interested parlies.
And the occasions havo often arisen when ft due
ilOUjUi) 0ic.lr.oivH
interfere and direct a suspension of hostilities,
which, in their prosecution, could but aggravate
the sufferings which a condition of hostilities ul-
ways begets. Tho cases in which this interfer
ence lias been exercised ns a right are well
known; aud the right itself limy now be regard
ed as recognized by the nation* of the world.
Perhaps il would not lie easy to discover a ease
in which tlie interference ’’of a Government
would be more purely mischievous, and more
palpably designed lo do evil, without the slight
est chance for good; which .would be more
wanting iu the attributes which give character lo
tlie operations of Government, even when oflen-
slve; and be more utterly incapable of securing
the result* which might be given a* the pretext
for its exercise, than would be furnished in the
attempt of the Government of the United Slates
to interfere with the commerce of tills State or
of any other State which has seceded from the
United State*, aud, in the discharge of its high
obligation to the civilization of the present age,
assumes its place among the Iudepeudent powers
of the world, and devote itself lo the extension
of the blessing* whicli peace afford*.

This exposition of the law of nations, us made mine how far such reasons nre satisfactory,
by the former aud p.esent Secretory of State, at In regard to any Interference with vessel*
a very recent period in relutiou to a case, the owned in this State, or any other Stato which
ireumstanees of which may be safely assumed | has or may secede, you wifi, of course, glv
as similar to such a* will belong to any
arising before you, may be properly assumed as
the rule which ut this lime will he recognized by
the government of the Uuited.Btates, ip relation
to the vessels of Foreign Powers, entering or
clearing from this port.
With thi* supposition, therefore, which a de
cent and proper regard for the.Government of
tlie United Blates forbids lo be questioned, until
that Government shall assume the responsibility
of doing so Itself, it will lie convenient for you
easily to dispose of each ease which may arise.
It will be sutfieient for you to notify the parties
in all cases that tlie Slute of South Carolina is
not u part of the United Slates; that tho Rev
enue Law* of tlie Uuited State* are not of force
within the limits of this State; tlmt all commer
cial regulations at this port are of force by tlie
authority only of the State of South Carolina;
ami that no interference will he permitted by the
Government of the United State* with such reg
ulations as tin* State of South Carolina ha* pro
vided; nor will tho authority of the Government
of the United Stales be permitted to lie exer
cised within tlie limit* ol the State. You will,
thereupon, proceed to discharge your duties as
provided ill tlio Ordinance of the Convention;
and, if it should happen that after such explana
tion, in any cose, oilier questions may arise than
such as arc provided tor In this note, you will
make a particular report to tins department.—
Whatever may be tb. . bility of a Foreign Pow
er to secure for its vessels adequate protection,
the authorities of this Stato will regard the at
tempt of tho Government of the United State*,
to Interfere with the vessels of a friendly Power
upon the waters over which the jurisdiction of
the State extends, lu the same light as if tlie at
tempt were made upon a vessel belonging to
thi* State. ‘
The next class of vessels concerning which
any question can arise, are owned by citizens of
Suites which are still members of the Confeder
acy known a* the Uuited States. Such vessel*
nre, of course, bound by tho municipal laws of
the country to which they belong. And it will
be for tlie Government of that country to impose
upon these vessels such penalties as it may
choose to provide lor what it may consider vio
lation* of it* municipal laws. Tlie questions
which arise iu relation to such vessels are lo be
decided by tlie Government of tlie United States.
If that Government shall consider it proper to
forfeit and condemn the vessels, or to subject to
money penalties the citizens who are within it*
jurisdiction, that question affects that govern
ment, and those citizens who are subject to its
laws must be subject to its control, however
much it may affect them or their property. If it
shall become the policy of the Government of
the United States to Impose such penalties on
their citizens aa will be equivalent to a prohibi
tion of all intercourse between them aud the
citizen* of this State and other seceding States,
it will be u matter which exclusively affects
them. To such a policy, If it shall commend
itself to the Government of the United States,
thi* State has no right to object.
The last class of vessels wnieh are or may be
aflecled by tlie interference of the Government
of the United States, are those used by citizens
of tills or other *invclioldlug States.
The immediate source of protection to a ves
sel navigating the high seas Is in the right which,
under the law of tuitions, each political couiuni-
ty has to use that “which is the great high way
of nations” for such purposes as are euunected
with Us welfare. The high smut are the com
mon property of all nations. The municipal
laws of each State or nation apply strictly to its
own vessels; they have no authority over tho
vCmels’of any other State or nations. And the
municipal laws of a Stato or nation are in this
respect distinguished in the influeuco they ex-
ervfse from that which Is derived from the law
of nations being of universal application and
obligatory upon all.
The right to navigate the high seas Is qualified
so far as may be necessary to make that enjoy
ment consistent with a due regard to the welfare
and couwuleuee of other nations. Hence the
absence of that protection which secures the
right to navigate tho seas, subjects a vessel to »
nrllcsl notice of it to this Department.
It will be proper Ipr you to deliver a copy of
tills note to each Consul of a foreign power, who
may be resident at thi* place.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
A. G. Maohatii.

of Charleston.

Important from Washington.
Washington, February L—Neither the Gov
ernment nor any body else has yet received one
word from Pensacola, yet all nre momentarily
expecting lo hear something from that quarter.
Secretary Holt ha* informed the Alabama and
Georgia Senator* that no more troops will be or
dered to Fort Sumter mile** Major Anderson de
mands it, whicli is considered improbable.
It 1* reliably understood that tlie border State
Commissioners, who tneet iu Convention on
Monday, will demand the removal of nil troops
from tills city, and even demnnd tlie removal of
the Federal troop* from the forts in the South
ern seceded State*. They will urge that this
course is both politic and necessary to prevent
bloodshed aud civil war.
A bill was introduced iu tho Scnnte to-day ap
propriating $1,000,000 lor Hie construction of
seven sloops-of-wnr, of «tcam power.
Col. Hayne has as yet received no reply from
the President to tlie ultimatum of South Caroli
na; There arc those, however, who assert that
the President is disposed to yield to the demand
for the disposal of the forts lor a consideration ;
but il is impossible to state positively the view*
of Mr. Buchanan. Col. Hayne himself anti
cipates u refusal or the ent ire demand. In that
event, lie will probably leave for homo by Sun
day. _
Remarkable Fact.—Rev. Mr. Warren, of life
Baptist Church in this city, in hi* sermon last
Sunday, stated that a negro preacher in Georgia,
one who had been trained by his master to assist
him' in faia law office, had written a work In de
fence of African slavery, which was now In
course of publication In Atlanta.
