THE LATE PLOT.
Exucbtive Depabtmf.nt,
Charleston, August 10,1822.
Sib—After a prolonged and almost tin
interrupted session of six weekq> the first
Court organised for the trial of Slaves
charged with an attempt to raise an in
surrection io this city, was dissolved on
the 20th ult. Another Court tvas sub-
sequently convened, and after a session
of three days, closed the unpleasant in
vestigation with which it was charged,
and adjourned on the 6tb inst. sine die.
During the interesting period occupied
hy the Court first organized, the public
mind waa agitated by a variety of rumours
calculated to produce great excitement
and alarm. These had their origin in the
-nature of the transaction, and the sercrecy
and seclusion observed in the incipient
stages of enquiry ; as but few of the cir
cumstances were known to the commu
nity, and the number apprehended and
sentenced to the severest punishment, be
yond any former example, certainly gave
place to exaggeration, and the general im
pression sustained the rumour of a very
extensive conspiracy.
The effects resulting from these reports,
if uncontrolled by an exhibition of the
facts are too obvious to require commeut.
The reputatioo of the State must suffer a-
broad, and a rapid deterioration of pro
perty occfir arithio ; while auapicion and
anxiety will continue long tn mar the
public tranquillity. It becomes, therefore,
a duty imperiously obligatory on me. ' <
represent the occurrences al they hate
transpired, and thus evidence to you, that
the attempt his not been greutly magni
fied, but as soon u discovered, it ceased
to Ira dangerous.
A servant prompted by attachment to
his master, communicated to him, that he
hud been requested tu give his assent sml
subscribe his name to a list of persons al.
ready engaged in the conspiracy. Tlio
Intendant immediately received ihe in
formation, and caused the arrest of 3
slaves of Mr, Paul; one of whom was
subsequently identified by the servant
making the coimminicition. The City
Council was convened, end after a very
close and attentive examinations general
impression was produced, that but little
credence could attach to the statement.
A prudent caution was neverthelessexer-
cised, ami the fellow charged committed
Io solitary imprisonment. A few days
alter his confinement, he made many dis-a
closures to s member of Council, but so 1
amplified the circumstances, that the ut
most credulity was requisite to the belief
of his tale.
Some consternation was obviously pro
duced amongst a few of the conspiritora
hy the arrest of these slaves, and 1 cannot
doubt led to a detail more plausible and
deserving of attention. Another servant
whose name is also concealed from pru.
dential motives, stated generally, that
such a combination actually existed, and
mentioned the names of several who wera
most conspicuous io their exertions, ad- f
ding with great confidence, that the explo
sion of their schemes would occur on th»
ensuing Sunday oight. This confession,
was given on Thursday the 13th June, atift
contained the recital of several occur,
rences which would precede the attempt
and evidence the intention. This sug
gested the propriety, while it sanctioned
the eflifrt, to conceal from the community
the intelligence thus received, for the in
tervening time; during which, exfensiva
and efficient preparations were made fur
the safety and protection of the City. Sa-
turday night and Sunday morning passed
without the predicted demonstrations;
doubts were again excited, and counter
orders issued diminishing the guard. The
facts communicated were generally know u
t« our fellow citizens on Sunday ; pro
ducing a night of sleepless anxiety. Hut
no one of the predicted (or any other) oc
currences, presented itself to disturb the
general tranquillity,
On the 18th June, 10 slaves were ar
rested, and on the 19th the Court was or
ganized for their trial. Investigation was
retarded by the difficulty of procuring au.
Ihentic evidence, and it was not until the
28th that the sentence nf death was pro
nounced sgainst six of the persons charg
ed with the offence. Denmark Vesey, a
free negro, was arrested on the 21st, and
on the 22d put on his trial. Although he
was unquestionably the instigator and
chief of this plot, no positive proof of his
guilt appeared until the 23th, This grew
out of the confession of one of Ihe con
victs, and on the 37th, his guilt was fur.
liter- established by a servant of Mr, Fer
guson.
The progress made, and Ihe expecta-
tons of immunity from punishment, by
confession, gred ially developed (lie plot,
and produced the arrest of several others
fortunately, two who were principals,
Monday Gell and Gullah Jack, Tnese
with three others, John Horry, Charles
Drayton, and Harry Haig, were convicted
and sentenced to die on Friday the 12tU
July last; but at the suggestion of tho
Court, that important communications
were expected from them, Monday Gell,
Charles Brsyton and Harry Ilaig were
respited.
The arrest of Pcrau!t,a servant of Mr,
Stroheckcr, which took place the day pre.
vipus to the respite, ami the general and
very important discoveries made by him,
enabled the Committee of Vigilance, not
only to elicit Ihe confirmation of his state
ment from the three convicts, but to ap
prehend a great number of persons en
gaged in the plot. Among ethers, Wtk.
Garner, reputed to be one of the prinen-
pala, the only one not then apprehended.
The number of persons at this period
under arrest, evinced the necessity of
such arrangements of (lie testimony, ns
would enable the Court to progress with
more rapidity. This duty devolved on
(lie Committee of Vigilance ; and princi
pally from the general information of Pe-
ranlt, and nf the convicls Monday Gell
and Charles Drayton, facility was given
to the further proceedings <if the Court.
In the short space of seven days, 32 Ne
groes were convicted ; 22 of whom were
executed on Friday tire 20th July j and
within four days after II others weru
convicted, 4 of whom have also been ex
ecuted.
Having established the existence of. a
plot, and the places of rendezvous, (all
that was deemed requisite for conviction
was to prove an association with the
Ringleaders, and so expression of their
assent to the measure- On such general
ly, the sentence of death has been exe
cuted. Others, who without actually
combining, were proved to have known of
the conspiracy, and to have given their
sanction by any act, have been sentenesd
to die, and their punishment commuted
to banishment from the U. States ; or,
sentenced in the first instance to banish
ment from this State, or from the United
States. In this manner the whole number,
72, have been disposed of; 35 exeen'ed
and 37 sentenced to banishment- With
these we msy reasonably conclude, that
we have (reached (he extremities of this
conspiracy ; and this opinion, if not con
clusive, is entitled to great weight, when
we advert to the extraordinary measures
pursued to effect the object, end the mo
tives which influenced the accuse|t-'
