From the Charleston Mercury
The 20th Day of December, in the If ear of
Our Lord. 1860.
Inscribed among the calends of the world—
■ memorable in time to comt —the 20th day of
1 »e<< mber, in the year of our Lord 18G0, has be
come an epoch in the history of the human race.
j A great < Confederated Republic, overwrought
with arrogant and tyrannous oppressions, has
fidlen from its high estate amongst the nations
jof the earth. Conservative liberty has been vin
dicated. Mobocratic license has been stricken
! down. Order has conquered, yet liberty has
j survived. Jiiyht has raised Ids banner aloft,
j and bidden defiance to Mijht. The problem of
i self-government under the check-balance of sla
very. l.as secured itself from threatened des
truction.
South Carolina has resumed her entire sov
i ereign powers, and, unshackled, has become one
j of the nations of the earth.
On yesterday, the 20th December, 1800, just
I before one o’clock, p. m., the Ordiaance on Se
cession was presented by the Committee on “the
Ordinance,’’ to the Convention of the people of
South Carolina. Precisely at seven minutes af
ter one o'clock, the vote was taken upon the Or
dinance—each man’s name being called in or
der. As name by name fell upon theearofthe
silent assembly, the brief sound was echoed
back, without one solitary exception in that
whole grave body— Aye!
At 1.15 o’clock, p. m., the last name was
I called, ihe Ordinance of Secession was announc
ed to have been passed, and the last fetter had
’.alien from the limos of a brave, but too long
i oppressed people.
I f irn Convention sit witip closed doors. But
upon the announcement outside, and upon the
j Mercury bulletin board, that South Carolina
was no longer a member of the Federal Union,
' loud shouts of joy rent the air. The enthusi
l asm was unsurpassed. Old men went shouting
town the streets. Cannons were fired, and
bright triumph was depicted on every counten
ance.
But before the Great,Seal of the State was af
fixed to the Ordinance of Secession, and the
names of the Delegates to the Convention were
. signe ;, it was proposed that this ceremony
should be postponed until 7 o’clock that even
i ing : when the Convention should re assemble
and move in procession from the St. Andrew’s
i Hall, where they then sat, to the great Seces
sion Hall: and that there, before the assembled
citizens of the State, the Great Seal of the State
should be set, and each signature made. The
proposition was favorably received.
At 6A o’clock j>. m., the Convention re-assem-
I bled at St. Andrew’s Hall. At 6J o’clock p. m.,
I they formed in procession and moved forward
in silence to Secession Hall.
I he building was filled to overflowing, and
they w ere received by some three thousand peo-
| pie in the Hall.
I The Convention was called to order. The
sceue was one profoundly grand and impressive.
There were a people assembled through their
! highest representatives—men most of them up
i on whose heads the snow of sixty winters had
j been sited—patriarchs in age —tne dignitaries
* of the land—the high Priests of the Church of
Ciinst- reverend statesmehand the wise judges
of the law. In the midst of deep silence, an old
man, with bowed form, and hair as white as
snow, the Rev. Dr. Bachman, advanced forward
with upraised hands, in prayer to Almigh v God
for His blessing and favor in this great act of
his people, about to be consummated. The
whole assembly at once rose to iis feet, and with
hats off, listened to the touching and eloquent
appeal to the Ail-Wise Dispenser of events. At
the ci se of the prayer the President advances ;
with the consecrated parchment upon which i
' was inscribed the decision of the State, with the j
i Great Seal attached. Slowly and solemnly it ■
| was read unto the last ward— "■li^olced''—
when men could contain themselves no longer, j
and a shout that shook the very building, rever
berating long-continued rose to Heaven, and j
’ ceased only with the loss of breath. In proud,
grave silence, the Convention itself waited the
’ end with beating hearts.
The President then requested the delegates
> (by previous decision) to step forward as they !
: were called in the alphabetical order of thedis
| tricts which they represented, and sign the Or
j dinance. Two hours were occupied in this sol-
I emn ceremony—the crowd waiting patiently
j the end. As the delegation from St. Phillip’s I
• and St. Mie' ■ ~s e -.m forw-’. : .ain the hall
■ was niled with x .. .u<u> me Hon. R. '
18. Rhett ndva .: ilto the parchment, the shouts '
! became deafe n ;z, long-cont.mutjd, nnui he had
; seated himself, signed mid retired, it was a
proud and w or.ln triiiiu \ trr.-cefuily paid, and
appreciated. The same special compliment was
paid to our Ex-Governor Gist, who recommend
ed in his message to the extra session, the imme
diate secession of South Carolina from the
Union.
At tiie close of the signatures the President,
advancing to tne front of the platform, an- i
nounced that the Seal of the State had been set, I
‘ the signatures of the Convention put to the Or
dinance. and he thereby proclaimed the State of
South Carolina a separate, independent nation
ality.
I o describe the enthusiasm with which this
announcement was greeted is beyond the power
of the pen. Tl e high, burning, bursting heart
alone can realize it. A mighty voice of great
thoughts and great emotions spoke from the
mighty throat of one people as a unit.
The State of South Carolina has recorded
herself before the universe. In reverence be
fore God, fearless of man, unawed by power,
unterrihed by clamor she has cut the Gordian
knot of colonial dependence upon the North— j
cast her fortune upon her right, and her own :
right arm, end stands ready to uphold alike her ‘
independence and her dignity before the world.
Prescribing to none, she will be dictated to bv
none; willing for peace, she is ready for war.
Deprecating blood, she is willing to shed it.
Valuing her liberties, she will maintain them
Neither swerved by (rowns of foes, nor swayed
by timorous solicitations of friends, she will- i
pursue her direct path, and establish for herself ,
and for her posterity, her rights, her liberties
and her institutions. Though friends may lad
her m her ueecL though the cannon of her ene
mies may belch destruction among her people,
South Carolina, unawed. unconquerable, will
still hold aloft her Hag, “Animis Opibw»qve Pa- j

MEETING IN JASPER COUNTY.
At a meeting of the citizens of said county
this day, Dec. 21st, 1860, held in the Court
house in Monticello, for the purpose of taking
into consideration the present crisis in our na
. tional affairs, on motion of James M. Williams,
f Esq., J. M. Gilstrap, Esq. was called to the
chair, and M. H. Hutchison requested to act
as Secretary. On motion of Thos. J. Smith,
Esq., committee was appointed to
arrange business to come before the meeting,
to-wit: Thos. J. Smith, R. J. Brown, J. B. M
Phillips, A. J. Freeman, P. B. McMichael,Rob
ert Brown, and James M. Williams, Esqrs.—
Whereupon, the following Resolutions were
read and adopted : a
Whereas, the present crisis in our national
1 affairs, in the judgment of the people of this
; county, demands resistance; and whereas, it
is the privilege of the People in their Sovereign
capacity to determine upon the measure and
mode of such resistance. Therefore
Rewired, Ist. That the recent election of
Lincoln and Hamlin to the Presidency and Vice
Presidency, by a purely sectional vote, is a tri
umph of principles inimical to our rights, and
which if sustained and submitted to, would
prove destructive to our domestic tranquility,
our right of Property in our Slaves, and would
I fnrnish our Honor as a free people.
Rewired, 2nd. That the election of Lincoln
and Hamlin to the Presidency and Vice Presi
dency, procured in pert by a violation of the
Elective franchise, in permitting negro suf
frage, is a violation of the Constitution of the
United States, the Laws thereof, and the de
cisions of the Supreme Court, and that their
avowed declaration to administer the Govern
ment in contravention of the Constitutional
rights of Georgia and the South, is just and
sufficient cause for Georgia to enforce her so
vereign rights, in the Union if she can, out of
it, if she must. •*>
Resolved, 3rd. We favor a Convention of
the people of Georgia, as called by the Legis
lature of our State, and recommend that they
invite co-operation of sister Southern States in
a prompt demand upon the North for additional
Constitutional guarantees, which shall plainly
deny to Congress the power to abolish Slavery
in the District of Columbia, the Dock Yards
and Arsenals of the United States, of interdict
ing the Slave trade between the States, or of
refusing the application of a Territory for ad
mission as a State, whenever she possesses the
requisite population, on account of Slavery.—
And further, a prompt repeal of all laws enac
ted by Northern States, having for their ob
ject, the defeat of the faithful execution of the
Fugitive Slave Law. In other words, a full
and final settlement of all the issues between
1 the North and South, upon the Slavery ques
tion. And unless satisfactory securities arc given
before the fourth of March next, that these
rights will be recognized and conceded by the
North, the South should leave this Union, and
demand a fair and equitable partition of the
common property of the Government—which
Resolutions were unanimously adopted.
On motion, the meeting adjourned till Wed
nesday, the 26th inst., for the purpose of
nominating candidates for the Convention.

CO-OPERATION MEETING IN RUTLAND
A DECIDED FAILURE.
The meeting that was announced to have
taken place at the Planter’s Academy, in Rut
land District, on Saturday, the 22d instant,
resulted in routing the co-operationisfs. The
day was as lonely as ever dawned upon Italia’s
classic shore, everything was anxious for a large
assemblage—but lo! the assemblage was non
est. Three immediate, seperate State action
secessionist and one co-operationist (not includ
ing the speaker) convened on the occasion. In
consequence, therefore, of the petite turn out,
the speaker declined to deliver his address, and
merely entered into a conversation on the issues
that agitate the country. As we were not pres
ent, we cannot give an outline of the conversa
tion, suffice it to say, we are reliably informed
that no convert was made.
SECESSION.
CORRECTION.
Through an oversight, the name of the Hon.
Clifford Anderson was omitted on the hand
bilUannouncing speakers at Warrior District
to-day. The gentleman, we hope, will accept
the correction

A BONE TO GUARD.
My co-operation friend, suppose you succeed !
Suppose you should have a majority in the
Convention, and have the power to make Geor
gia submit to the administration of Lincoln on
the 4th of March! What will be your posi
tion ? Look the matter in the face, and read
its features truthfully. South Carolina has se
ceded ; that is a fixed fact, and Florida, Ala
bama, and Mississippi, will soon follow her.
From your geographical position you divide
and weaken tlis seceding States, and thereby
invite the aggrc.*ion of the Black Republican
administration on their heads. Nay, your
State will be the rendezvous of Lincoln's aboli
tion troops to assail them.
The question is, which side will you take,
when the hired butchers of an abolition gov
ernment “ come down like the wolf on the
fold,” to drench the fields of South Carolina
with blood ? Will you side with South Caro
lina or Lincoln ? You cannot be neutial—you
must take sides—there is no escape from it.
But I will not press the question I It would
be an insult to your manhood ! I know you
would side with South Carolina. Your noble,
generous young men—yea, every man, young
or old, who had a soul in his body, would rush
to rescue their brothers from this abolition
horde; ! But see what a position you have
placed yourself in. You fight with a rope
round your neck ; you are the subject of an
abolition government, and can be punished for
treason against your masters.
South Carolinians can fight them as any oth
er foreign invaders, without subjecting them
selves to such a penalty because that noble
State has seceded and the shield of her sover
eignty protects her sons from a traitor’s doom. I
Toil have no such protection; submission or
the halter will be your choice after the 4th of j
March, if Georgia refuses to secede and resume 1
her sovereignty for your protection.
A South Carolinian can die only as heroes
die—on the field of battle. You would have
Georgians, who are not craven enough to be in
sensible to degradation, to bang on the gallows ;
*• felons. Does not your cheek burn with ;
shame at the difference ?
Cut these lines from the paper and stow them
away in your pocket-book, my co-operation
friend, and if it should please Providence to i
scourge this land by permitting you to succeed i
in Georgia, about the time your corn begins to '
[ . shoot and tassel next year, take it out and read
j them, and if you don’t drop some hot ourning
. tears of regret and shame in the crumpled pa
per, it will be because you had able preceptois
in submission, who had learned you beforehand
to bear your shame.
But there is away to avoid all strife ami
bloodshed. Let Georgia secede and form with
South Carolina, Florida, Alabama and Missis
sippi, a Southern Confederacy, and not a hos
tile soldier will put his foot on Southern soil.—
Louisiana and Texas will be with us, and soon
all the border States will follow, and form a
galaxy of thirteen States.
