It Is now seventy-three years since the Union
between the United Slates was mad-; by tbe
Constitution of the United Stales. Daring this
time, their advance in wealth, prosperity and
S ower, has been with scarcely a parallel in the
istory of the world. The great object of their
Union was external defence from the aggres'
sions of more powerful nations ; which object
Is now attained from their mere progress in
power. Thirty-one millions of people, with a
commerce and navigation which explore tverj
sea, and with agricultural productions which
are necessary to every civilized people, com
mand the friendship of the world. But unfor
tunately, our internal peace has not grown with
our externa! prosperity. Discontent and con
tention have moved in the bosom of the Con
federacy for the last thirty-8ve years. During
this time, South Carolloa'has twice called her
people together in solemn Convention, to take
Into consideration the aggressions and uncon-

the North on the people of tbe South. These
wrongs were submitted to by tbe people of tbe
South, under the hope ana expectation that
they would be final. But such hope and ex

producing forbearance, our acquiescence has
only instigated lo new forma of aggressions and

■Syrenpirti) Convention^ h«PWi* day dis-
IWvvd her connection with the 8tates constitu
ting the United States.
The one great evil from which all other evils
have flowed, is the overthrow of the Constitu
tion of the United State*. Tbe Government
ol the United States is no longer the Govern
ment of Confederated Republics, but of a Con
solidated Democracy. It Is no longer a Free
Government, but a Despotism. It fs, in fact,
such a Government 8s Great Britain attempted
to set over our Fathers, and which was resisted
and defatted by a seven years’ struggle for in
dependence.
The Revolution ofl77B, turned upon the great
principle of self govemmet and self-taxation,
the criterion of self-government. Where the
interests of two people united together under
one Government, are different, each must ltava
the power to protect its interests by the organ
ization of the Government, or they cannot be
tree. The interests of Great Britain and of the
Colonies were different and antagonistic. Great
Britain was dcsirons ot carrying out the policy
ot all nations towards their Colonies, of making
them tributary to her wealth and power. 8he
had vast and complicated relations with the
whole world. Her policy towards iter North
American Colonies was to Identify them with
her in all these complicated relations ; and to
make them bear, In common with the rest of
he Empire, the foil burden of her obligations
and necessities. She had a vast public debt;
she had an European policy and an Asiatic
policy, which had occasloncn the Accumulation
of her public debt, and which kept her In con
tinual wars. The North American Colonies
saw’thelr interests, political and commercial,
sacrificed by such a policy. Their interests re-
Imircd that they should nrt be idaitificd with
the burdens and wars of the mother country.
They have been settled under Chatters, which
S ve them self-government; at least so far ns
clr property was concerned. Ttyy had taxed
themselves, and had never been taxed by the
Government of Great Britain. Tdm.vkc them
a part of a consolidated Empire, tiki Parliament
or Great Britain determined to assume the
power of legislating for the Colonb* in all cases
whatsoever. Our ancestors resist*! the preten
sion. They refused to be a part ol the consoli
dated Government of Great Britain!
The Southern States now slanJ exactly io
Hie same position towards tbe Northern States
that onr ancestors in the colonies did towards*
Great Britain. The Northern Shitts, having
the majority in Congress, c-luiin tin same pow
er of omnipotence in legislation * the British

Under such a Government, three must, of course, be
many and endless “Irrepressible e-.nflicta," b-tween
the two great sections of the Union. The same fallh-
lessness which has abolished Iha Constitution of the
United States, will not fait to carry out Ibe sectional
pirposes f-r which it has been abolished. There must
he conflict; and the weaker section of the Union can
only Bud peace and liberty In an Independence of the
North. The repeated efforts made by Booth Carolina,
in a wise conservatism, to arrest the progress o' the
General Government in its fatal progress to consolida
tion, have been unsupported, and she has been de
nounced as faithless to tbe obligations of the Constitu
tion, by the very men and States wno were destroying
It by their usurpations. It is now too late to reform or
restore tbe O-.vcmment of the United States. All
eonfldence in the North Is lost by tbe Sooth. The faith
lessness of the North for a half century has opened a
gulf of separation between the North and tbe 8outh
which no promises nor engagements can All
It cannot be believed that onr ancestors would have
assented to any union whatever with the people of the 1
North If the feelings and opinion snow existing among*! i
them had existed when the Constitution was framed.
There was then no Tariff—no fanaticism concerning
negroes 11 was the Delegates from New England who
proposed in tbe Conventiod which frsm-d the Consti
tution to the Delegates from South Carolina and Geor
gia, that if they wjuld agree to give Congress the
power of regulating e mmrree by a majority, that
they would support the extension of the Airicah stare
trade for twenty years. African slavery existed In a!!
the Mates but one. The ides that the Southern Stales
w- uld be made to pay that tribute to their Northern
confederates, which they had refused to pay to Great
Britain; or that the Institution of African slaver),
would be made the grand basis of a sectional organiza
tion of the North lo rule the Booth, never crossed the
imaginations of onr ancestors. The Union of the Con
stitution watt a union of slavebo ding Slat a D rests
on slavery, by prescribing a representation in Con
gress for three-fifths of onr slaves. There Is nothing
In the proceedings of the Convention which framed
tbe Constitution to show that tbe Southern States
would h-tve formed any other Union; and still less,
that they would have lormed a Uaion with more power
ful noa-slaveholding States bav/,g a tflg/ori#r-«v both
branches ol the Legislature of fbe Government. Tb>r
were guilty of no such folly. Time, and ahe progress
of things, have totally altered the relations between
the Northern and Southern States .since the Union was
established. That identity of feelings, interests and
institutions, which once eg sled, is rone They are
now divided, between agricultural and manufacturing,
and commercial Stales; between slaveboldlng, and
non-slaveholdlng Bute*. Their Institutions and Indus
trial pursuits have made them totally different peoples.

Is s) rapathy in association, which carries men along
without pnnc'ole ; but when there is principle, and
that principle is fortified by long existing prejudices
and feelings, nsw ci&lion Is omnipotent in party Influ
ences In spite of all disclaimers and professions, the re
can be but one end, by the suumistion of the South tn
the rule of a ere .tonal anti-slavery government at
Washington; and that end, directly or indirectly,
must be— the emaneipa ion of the slaves of the nouth.
The hypoertay of thirty years—the faithlessness of their
whole course from tbe commeneemtnl of our union
with them, shew that tbe people of the nun-slavehold-
ing North, are not *nd car.not be mfe associates of the
staveholding South 'under a common Government.
Not oalytbeir fanaticism, but their erroneous views of
the principles of tree goverumanIs, render it doubtful
whether separated I rout the South they can maintain a
Ireegovernment amongst themselves. Numbers wl h
them, is the great element of free government. A ma
jority is infallible and omnipotent. "The right divine
to rule in kings,” is only transferred to their majority.
The very object of ail Constitutions, In free popular
Government, is to restrain the majority. Constitutions,
therefore, according to ibe theory, must Oe most un-
r.gbteona iaventious, restricting liberty. None ought
to exist; but the body politic ought (imply lo have a
politieal organization lo bring oat and enforce the will
of the majority, ■vt.t.’.w •— j — *- -

by any means they deem expedient, why should
they not assail and overthrow the institution
of slavery in the South? They are responsible
for its continuance or existence. In proportion

subject of slavery, under such circumstances,
were so imperious as to amount almost to n
moral necessity. To make, however, their
numerical power available to rule the Union,
