' • SOUTH CAROLINA STATE CON VENTION. FROM COLUMBIA. Extract of Letters dated “COLUMBIA, ) Saturday Night, Nov. 24, 1832. “The minority, it is said, having done all in their power to prevent this glorious act, will, know that it is the law of South Caroli na, rally under the palmetto, whether for weal or wo. Thus vve are at last a United People, and Congress will have no possible excuse for not gjanting the just demands of South Carolina. The Ordinance has been beautifully in scribed on parchment by Mr. Moisc of Charleston, and signed by every member of the Convention voting in the affirmative. — The Soldiers of the Revolution, Major Hamil ton, Sen. Capt. Baker and Col- Warren head ing the signatures.” “COLUMBIA, Nov. 24. The general Committee met at 10. The Sub-Committee reported an address to the people of the U. States. The Address was read by Mr. McDuffie, and adopted. The Convention met at 12. After prayer, by the Rev. Mr. Freeman, and the despatch of the usual preliminaries, the President gave notice that reports of Committees were now in order. Then fore the general Committee reported an Address to the people of the State. Tlte Report was read by the Hon. George McDuffie. When finished, it was. on mo tion of Mr. Tqrnhuil, adopted by the Con vention. The special order of the day was then made, and the ordinance taken up and read. Judge Colcock, by instruction of.the Com mittee, moved so to amend it as to exempt the members of the Legislature from the oath prescribed to the civil and military officers of the State. Mr. Turnbull explained, that sue!) had been (lie purpose which the Committee had intended to convey, by the original words, but that it was now perceived, that a different interpretation was, by some, placed upon them. The amendment was adopted. Mr. Turnbull then moved to amend the title of the Ordinance, by substituting for the words ‘‘lor arresting the operation of,” the phrase “to nullify.” It was so amended. The question then being on the passage of the Ordinance, as amended, the ayes and noes were moved for, bv an Union member: seven members being necessary for such a call, a great majority of the House rose for the call, i The Roll was then called, for the ayes and rtoes; which were given as follows: Ayes, 136 ; No s, 26. On motion of Mr. McDuffie, the Report ac- Icompanving the Ordinance was taken up for I consideration. Its reading having been dis pensed with, it was adopted. Mr. McDuffie then moved (he considera tion of the Address to the people of the State ; which, the redress beingol#o dispensed with, was adopted, after an amendment (mo ed by Mr. Turnbull) to omit, in the paragraph tiie expression, “confident that other States will come to our assistance.” He explained, that we would certainly take such a course, if sure to lie alone. Mr. Wilson then moved a recess until 5, in order that the Committee might prepare the Ordinance as above. Adjourned till 5. At ft, the Convention re-assembled, and proceeded to business. ’The Committee on engrossing, reported that they had performed the duty assigned to them, and had caused Si A< 'ON A DYE RT gSER. the great Seal of the State to be affixed to the Ordinance: that there was space in the instru ment fox the signatures of the entire Conven tion: and thev begged leave to suggest that such patriots of the Revolution, as were in the assembly, should, in the order cf signing, in scribe their names first. The report was u nanimously adopted. The Convention then, on motion of Dr. Ti dyrnan, resolvt and itself into a Committee of the Whole, Col. I’On in the Chair. Dr. Tidymun then moved a Resolution, thanking the President, for the very able, dignified and impartial manner, in which he had discharged the duties of the Chair. It was unanimously adopted; and the Com mittee then rose, and so reported to the Con vention. Gen Hay ne then moved, that copies of the Ordinance, Report and Addresses, he trans mitted by the Governor, to the President ol the United States, to be by him submitted to Congress, and that copies he, in like manner sent to the Governors and Legislatures of the several States. It was adopted. The lion. R. W. Barnwell offered the fid lovviug Resolution: Whereas, it is the duly of a people at all times to acknowledge tin ir dependence upon God, and more especially to commit them selves to his keeping, when they have adop ted measures of deep import to their future welfare and security: Be it resolved, That the Delegates of the people ofSoutii Carolina in Convention assem bled, do recommend to their fellow citizens of the State, to observe Thursday, tlie 31st Jan uary 1833, as a day of solemn fasting, humil {iation and prayer, imploring the Almighty to bestow his blessing upon the proceedings of this body, that they may eventuate iri the pro motion of his glory, and in restoring and per petuating the liberty and prospeiity of our na tive State.

I rise for the‘p urpose making u motion to reconsider tiie C , of yesterday so far as relates to the acting the House upon the . preamble and r ?° turns offered by the gentleman from \y arr known as the Tariff preamble and resoluti’ I confess, Mr Speaker, that 1 „ motion with Lut little hopes of SUoc ' bls sir, I am induced to do it that g*Tuiem'n’ once more have an opportunity of record their votes against a measure,'which jf " g ried through the Legislature, will, i n mv urn, have a tendency to rivet upon us completely the Tai iff system than anv me? ure ever before attempted in this State? and 1 warn gentlemen tq weigh well this f" portant matter, and reflect before it l, e ? late upon the disastrous consequeners i? may result from such a course of legialatj 11 1 am opposed to any and all legislative ? ‘ ,on l, P°" t!) 's subject at this time; and con sider it not only improper, but extra official" And, Mr. Speaker, why do 1 so consider? because the people, —the sovereign people 0 f Georgia, have taken this matter into thei own hands; and shall we their servants, usurp and take from them this unquestionable righ Are gentlemen afraid to trust the people with the management of this great and imports matter? 1 Will any man pretend to say that thepco pie of Georgia have not intelligence enough to know their rights, and patriotism and bold ness sufficient to maintain them? ]\ T Ol , e dare openly to make the insinuation. J M . know ledge the right of the people to acton." on this question whenever they shall deter", mine to do so; and none have the to question their acts. The resolutions on your table Mr. Speak, er, denounce South Carolina, a sister.St? labouring under like grievances with our! selves; astute that is making our cause her cause in the great struggle for liberty— and shall wc take sides with our oppressors! i hope not. The resolutions also propose a soutlrm convention under certain rules and restic tions. Do gentlemen believe that a convm tion can he had upon the plan proposed? Do they sincerely wish a convention?—l doubt very much Mr. Speaker, the sincerity of sorat at least. The phraseology of the preamble itself, is evidence to my mind that their sup porters entertain doubts; or why do they use the words, “if a convention be necessary' that is to say, if a convention be necessary at all; hut of this we, the friends of the resolu tions, hate doubts. J)o not gentlemen know it to he impossible to get a convention upon the plan proposed. It is proposed to have a southern convention, provided six states concur in the measure.— Has not Tennessee already refused; and has not South Carolina gone too far to accede tj such a proposition ? it would he a retrograde step in her, to consent to such a proposition j in her present attitude : and pray gentlemes, j where will you find your six states toconcutf j can you name them ?—you cannot —andyour whole plan is defeated. 1 will tell you the grand secret, Mr.Speak er. It is well known that the people foelig I themselves oppressed by the burthens ofth Tariff have recently determined to take Se matter into their serious consideration,nd determine upon some peaceable and effeau ul mode of redress. Accordingly delegitw were elected to a state convention, —the on vention met, but a certain portion of those delegates came with a determination too?- pose every thing that amounted to any tbiig like resistance to the Tariff; and after remain ing in convention four days, finding them, selves largely in the minority, and discover ing that some mode of resistance would tie submitted to the people for their ratificatiori or rejection; they determined to withdraw ant take no port in this high handed measure,! they considered it, against the Tariff.
