Southern Wrong*—Southern Congress — Nullification. ,
Address of the citizens of Sumter District, agreed to
at a meeting held at Sumtrrville, on the oth May, It?’-2
On tli<? subject <«{ .Soulhern \\ rollers, there is]
hut one opinion and one sentiment among the;
people ol .South-Carolina. All deem them griev-i
ous and iimilleruhl •. All are indignant at the
oppression. Almost all declare that they ought 1
to he resisted, and the only questions which di- 1
vide them are the time and the manner in which
redress should besought or enforced. I tifor
liinately, on these points there is a great diversi- :
tv of opinion, and, believing, that wc di tier more 1
or less, from both the great parties that divide :
the State, we propose to submit our views for the
consideration of both, as well as for the conside
ration of our brethren of the Southern States
generally, if we shall bo so fortunate as to be
heard by them ; for, in our opinion, the groat
question .at issue is one common to all tiicse
Slates, and one on which no single Slate has e
ven the right, in a fair and friendly course of
action, to decide, in any important movement, a
part from the views and wishes of the others. It 1
is a common and indivisible cans;*, and ought to
he the subject of common deliberation and com
mon action. Our general proposition is, there
fore, that Soutii-Carolina ought not to act alone,
and that she ought, at this time, to adopt such a
course of conduct as shall tend to a co-operation
with her sister States, who sutler m common
with her.
The friends of State Rights appear to us to
cnihri.ro all those who think the evils of which
the Southern States complain should not be fi
nally submitted to —who consider it a right on
the part of the State sovereignties to express
their opinions on the constitutionality and validi
ty of the a< ts of Congress which affect the rights
oftliejr citizens and the sovereign power oftliej
States; and to interpose, for the preservation off
those rights and that power, in such manner and j
at such time, as may become Sovereign States.
The time when, the manner how, and all other'
view s of expediency and policy, ought to create
no unkmdness of feeling among the friends of j
States rights, nor lead to any classification winch i
shall divide them even nominally. Those per-!
sons who a licet to consider the unconstitutional :
acts of the General < Jovcrnment as mere revenue j
laws, with which the States have nothing to do!
hut tosuhmit to them —who pronounce the friends j
of States rights to he enemies to the Tnion—who!
affect to consider the acts of oppression, ol which [
the Southern States complain, as no just cause of:
excitement—who consider all activity, in thci
shape of opposition to these acts, as seditious and
violent; those only (and they are very few in
number) arc to bo excluded from the number of
the friends of States rights. Among a class so
numerous, as are the friends ofStutos rights thus
defined, there will be great room for mutual tol
eration and forbearance. —Some may be too
passive, some may be over-zealous, if either be
taken alone; but it is thus, by the combination;!
of different classes, that all regular, effective, j
systematic power is made up. In politics, as in j
mechanics, there are propelling and retarding!
powers. The one is essential to all action, and:
the other equally necessary in producing that j
regulated action which alone is useful. Thejj
friends of States rights resemble a great military]!
force, which, in their march to the field ot action, |j
cannot all go abreast. There must be the vanj|
and the rear, and some, of course, must be groat- j
ly behind others, but, if united in their purpose,!
a little time will present the whole with a com-;
men front of discipline and power, in which the
fiery onset of the elite and the heavier move- ,
meat of the great mass, will be brought into hap-!|
pv and harmonious co-operation.
The friends of States rights, who thus differ,
ought to reflect, that though they arc mutual
checks upon, they are also mutual supporters of|
each other while they sustain a common gene
ral principle. Those who have feared civil,
w.ii - and all the inferior degrees ot violence]
w hich they have been taught to apprehend, will |
find that it is probably in their own power, by
mingling in the mass, instead of vainly lament-(j
ing evils, merely possible and contingent, tojj
prevent such results, should any bo found desir-ij
ous of provoking them. Those w ho, on the
other hand, dread a spirit of submission, will dis
cover that the advocates of it, when thus sepa
rated from the friends ot resistance, are a mise
rable remnant, and that the great mass of the
people are in mind and heart w ith the
Stales. The zeal, how ever lively, of no man
can run far or long ahead ot the public senti
ment. The sluggishness of no honest friend ot
his country can lug long or tar behind it. 1 * ie j
difference in our unsophisticated feelings on the ;
questions that agitate us, is scarcely distinguish
able. We almost all feci the injury to be deep
and degrading, & are determined not to bear i>-
Could we divest ourselves ot other sensibilities j
which have been obtruded upon the natural sen
timent of the country, wc should at once give
harmonv to the general action of the people, and
power and effect to their united impulse. I here
is no man who possesses or is worthy ot the
public regard, who is in favor ot submission.
There is no one, of like character, however ex
cited, who is at this time, in favor of violence or
disunion. These are the scandals and revilingjq
of the common enemy, or they are the offspring!
of intemperate party heats and low party bick
erings. Vv e are all of one opinion as to the evil ;
let us, then, deliberate together (not quarrel) a
bout the means of redress, and we shall soon be
i all of one opinion as to the remedy. We can doe
nothing good or effective w hile divided. We
can hardly do any tiling wrong, if we be united.
The worst measure suggested will be compara
tively effective and safe, w ith union among our-j
, selves: but, with that union, the very best course* 1
]of action that a just sense of injury, guided by]
! w isdom and discretion, can devise, w ill, in alii
likelihood, be adopted. Let us then unite. Le‘'
the more zealous abate a little of their ardor, j
and the more cautious grant a little of their con-j
fidence. fivery one who is really in favor ofj
resistance at any time and under any circum-!
stances, is with us in heart, and ought to lie with;
us in our deliberations concerning redress. Let
first steps and first opinions be allowed neither
to commit nor to proscribe any man. In the
incipient stages of all great movements, discre
pances of opinion among the wis st and the a
| blest, and also among the most frank and honest,
will he numerous. The aspect of things per
petually recalls to our minds the contemplation
of the He volution, and, among our retrospective
views, we discover as w ell a John Dickinson as a
John Adams. In that great struggle, some of
those who hesitated long were not the less true,
or the less faithful and useful in the great cause !
which all had at heart. It will he so in the ques
tion before us.
We shall not be surprised, if in expressing ;
these opinions, wc he considered b}’ some as ad
vocating a timid or evasive forbearance. Should i*
this he our sentence, it will certainly beunmor-le
ited. There is hut one thing worse than this Ij 1
kind of forbearance, and that is abortive action.]] :
It has been so often remarked as to have become j :
a political maxim, that nolhingso much strength- j
ms a tyrannical government as a suppressed in- j
surrcqtion. The principle is the same in all un
successful movements of res; dance to power. ;
Hence it has not been uncommon for profligate j 1
governments even to excite resistance to their |
unrighteous rule, merely for the purpose of put- I
ting it down. Nor is it so much by the terror
of punishment that these acts operate as by their],
dispiriting effect:—by the weariua - out of the re-ij
I < W 4 ‘ J • j
solution and moral energy of the oppressed and •"
suffering people. For this reason nothing should
he more cautiously avoided than premature calls j
upon them for great movements which arc not;
warranted hv the circumstances of preparation’ 1
under which they are invited to act. We admit
that, the South must redress itself-—at least that! 1
it must exhibit a power and a disposition to do so,! :
or. as long as it shall be worth the gleaning of;
O O t_.*
industrious tax-gatherers, it will be a tux-payer]
to the American system. Even if that system',;
were abandoned or put down to-morrow, the 1 !
principles of it. would survive and the soul,
of it be embodied in some ready metcmpsycho- jl
sis, if there he not. a corresponding system of !
resistance on the part of the South.—Thejl 1
confederates under the name of the Ame-ii
I |
rican system, have the power to oppress us. have
tasted the sweets and the profits of that oppros-j!
siou, and they are not so little human as to give!'!
them up voluntarily because they are unjust.']
Hut how is the South to redress itself / Hy dis-j:
union ? civil war / or what other measure of the;]
long catalogue of ills with w hich we have been!]
threatened by the heated imaginations of one or!]
j other of the parties in this State? No, none ofj
them. By union:—by a union of Southern]|
wishes and determination, without sword or]
shield; —simply by the union of the South in
spirit and design. The wretched feebleness,j
the almost inevitable ruin of divided action in a;
cause of joint interest, all history, in its gloomiest
pages, loudly proclaims. The power of union, ]
on the contrary, in a common cause, is not con-j|
ceivable through any a priori reasoning, it is jj
in practice, that it is seen, at once, to steal with|j
its influence and flash with its power (almost al-||
ways in the shape of success) ou the subject olji
the public action. United we conquer, is u po-j
litical truth almost as universal and infallible as
the great truths of religion. Nor is the effect;
of union felt usually half so much in the form of
phvsical power, as in that of the union of mind ]
and heart ; nor, even in this last shape, it is felt
so much to be an impelling force us one which
prevents, by its influence, that retrograde irre
solution, that shrinking of the soul, which soon
er or later, is most surely brought on by the iso
lated condition of separate and unconsorted ac-j
] tion. Wc believe that the physical power, even]
;of a small Slate, armed with right and present-;
jing a united people, would be found competent!
!to resist the oppressive power of the Union;:
i but, were it to come to force, it would surely not :
bo wise voluntarily to pat it upon that issue :—!
a union of the suffering States will not only make
that certain and easy, in the worst event, which;
otherwise would only be probable : but what is ;
iof much more consequence, it will make the is-j
I sue certainly peaceable. V\ ith union, to rc
! solve is to succeed; and to succeed peaceably,
is to preserve the union of the whole States,!
which all desire to be perpetuated if possible. |
The redress which wc seek is nut a work tuat is j
necessarily to be accomplished by force, an\ [j
more than, if properly attempted, it can be pat
down bv force. The moment that the moral ;
force, the public sentiment of the Southern;
! States, shall be combined in support of any de-ij
jcided course of action, that course becomes iu-i
stamlv a path of peace and a triumphant high
wav to the end proposed, whatever it may be.
But on a question common to all the Southern
States there can be no well identified or settled;
public sentiment peculiar to one State: to be
such it must pervade ail and all at the same
time. Nor is this sentiment of so obedient n
spirit that it can be called up at the command of
any State, at any time. It lias something of,
the caprice ol poetical inpiration, though like thaej
it will not long bo obdurately dent to persever
ing solicitation. A fitful, feverish impatience;:
must not govern ns. ihe subject m»st be dili
gently and perscveriugly presseu. Ihe ques
tions between the Federal Government and the
Southern States require deeper and further in
restitution before they can.be thoroughly com
prehended or felt. They have hitherto been ,
treated, at least until recently, almost altogether:;
as mere questions of revenue. This is not their
true character, for that feature, though it belong ]
; to it, is comparatively so small and so faint, that
it almost disappears and hardly seems to com
bine in the great and striking aspect which the*
I subject puts on when it bears up to our view the f
vi al interests and sovereign rightsof the States, i
and the safety and value and durability of the
Union. They arc questions of national op
! pression and power and right and resistance.
They may be said to involve the throes of la
■ boring Empires big wi.h the present happiness
and ultimate fate of many Sovereign States.
j Surely if this be true, they are objects w hich,
notwithstanding our baste, we may pause to look
upon as we pass by, and it may be permissible,
we should think, for a short space of time to do
■ them the reverence of a little deliberation on
their character and situation, before we shall do
ae-s that may dash their fairest hopes to atoms.
The brief moment of deliberation w hich we ask
may save from this fate the most glorious works
:of man. This brief moment of prudential do- :
liberation can shako no wise determination, can |
let down no well fortified spirit. Deliberation
belongs as much and as necessarily to the re
solves of firmness as of caution and w isdom. It
should belong peculiarly to sovereign authorities. i
Untie to Ike ice tiding ! is music unfit and by far
too sprightly for the march of Empires or of
, States. Their steps should be slow, solemn, de
liberate, resolved, decided. For such a march
l South-Carolina certainly is not at this moment
prepared. Give us yet a breathing moment. |
Let us look at the depth of the precipice before ■
wc cast ourselves off from its cliiis. Whatever
may be asserted, and however confidently as
! .sorted, wo are but on the threshold of this “ great ]
; argument.”
We have ventured to speak of the v tine of I
the Union, notwithstanding the denunciations |
which have been cast upon those who have here- ;
tofore hazarded the use of the term. We do- |
clare, before God, that we are as hearty lovers \
of I nion, and have been as uniform and decided |
supporters of it, as any of its rational and Ison- ;
cst eulogists; and there was a lime, in the course j
of our political progress, when wc adopted much I
too liberal and enlarged a construction of its !
powers, but oppression has made us wiser. Such i
also we know were once the hearty feelings and
doctrines of the whole State of Sunlh-Carolina ;
but they (the great mass of the people w e mean)
have been, in like maimer, sobered in their en
thusiasm. They do not hear, with pleasure,
the hosannas now (or rather lately) so frequent- i
ly raised to the Union by some of our citizens |
—not in the holy worship of fearless and inde
pendent freedom—not in the joyous conscious
ness of the blessings of that Union ; —not, 100,
we sincerely believe, except in very few instan
ces, in the spirit ot’ submission to the wrongs
wc suffer ; but in a manner and at a time so pe
culiar as to make them bear the most fearful re
semblances to the outpourings of that passive
spirit, and to make them sound with the melody
of praise in the cars, and go up as the incense
of adulation to the nostrils of the insolent op
pressor. It is to kiss the rod, at least it is to
appear to kiss the rod, which inflicts the infamy
under which the Southern States are suffering ;
for is it not infamous for free States to be with
out active efforts of resistance, for a period lon
ger than is ordinarily allowed for the duration
of human life, what they have publicly and so
lemnly declared to be unequal and oppressive
burthens, recklessly imposed and insultingly cn- ;
forced / It is not natural nor manly nor human
to bless the hand, if it be mortal, that afflicts us.
To God alone (whose goodness and wisdom, we
arc sure, will be wrought, out, whatever aspect
his visitations may assume to our imperfect vi
sion) can man be expected to say “ Thy will ba
done ! ” under the smart of grievous suffering. ;
May God preserve the Union! we say, with at
least as much truth and sincerity, as those who
have usurped the offices of its ministering ser
vants in its peculiar temples : but we confess,
suffering under its inflictions as we are, we feel
a little in the spirit of those worshippers who
; castigate their idols, when they think their ben-
O J •J
i oficencc is not sufficiently active. AVe must at
i least be pardoned, if we do not raise the song of
] praise to the Union with our wonted enthusiasm
• when we are almost never reminded of its exis
tcnce but by' inflictions.
VV e return to the subject of a union of conn
sel and of effort on the part of the {Southern
i States. This we deem the only measure of hope
or power to which at this time tiiey can resort,
and we think it will at all times be their policy
and their duty to adopt it when their great inter
ests are at stake. The close union of the States
on the Southern side of the Potomac is neces
sary, now and for ever, whether we consider
their safety or their greatness, their freedom or
their prosperity. < )ther combinations may be
expedient, but this is necessary, if it be not their
determination to dwindle into contempt and in
significance —to be a name of degradation, and
a lit home only for slaves. On the immediate
questions of grievance there has never yet been
any concerted effort between them, and there
fore never any efficient one. The very acts of
which they complain united their adversaries, or
they never would have been able to have con
summated their injustice. They have had Con
vention after Convention, and the fruits of them
have been seen and felt by us and enjoyed by
them. The miserable, ill-conceived, deformed;
and abortive thing which m<*t at Philadelphia,
does not deserve the name of Convention of the
, sufferers under Federal oppression. To put the
] sufferers, as far as the nature of the subject will
permit, on a footing with their opponents, they
; must unite in a Convention of homogeneous ele
ments, in a friendly country, under the sky and
upon the soil whose blessings they strive and
hope to preserve. The very statement of the
conditions of the question points out the remedy.
It is bv bringing the Southern States together.
J O v—' u
uniting their counsels, and finally, as far as may
be necessary, concentrating their efforts on some
general and common course of action, that sue- [
cess can bo expected. This course is recom
mended by many incidental considerations. If!
j there be any wrong tendencies on the part of ;
i any one State, when they are pul into this com
; raon crucible, the dioss will be thrown off’and
nothing but the pure metal of Southern patriot
ism will remain. An interchange of views will
serve to give each a truer knowledge of the sub- j
ject in general and their joint relations to it. \
The too great zeal of one State may be checked.
] The feeling of another may be roused to a point
]of just sensibility. They will then harmonize,
thev will sympathize, and in due time their feel
ings will kindle and glow, and finally blaze with
1 an’intenseness, that animating and enlightening ;
a united strength and a united action, cannot be •
j resisted* (To he Continued.)

3- EING deeply impressed with the belief, that it is
15 the duty of Nations, Stales and communities, as; \
well as individuals, to render homage and adoration to *
the Supreme Governor of the Universe —tne author of ft
every good—to acknowledge His power :to make con- tl

His mercy, and deprecate his wrath : j j A
And a righteous God having seen fit to visit many R
pans of our country, with a moat destructive pestilence, oi
the distressing ravages of which, we have every reason
to apprehend, will ere long visit this Slate :—And be- c;
lieving as I do, that the impending Judgments of Him. a>
who despiseth not the contrite heart, call for devout hu
miliation and prayer on the part of us his offending ~
'creatures, I have therefore thought proper, atthisalarm

of this State, unitedly to set apart Thursday, the 20th j
j day of September next, as a day for religious exercises, tl
j especially, fasting, humiliation and prayer, to entreat s»
the disposer of events that this awful pestilence may tl
be averted from us, or that in case He, in his infinite U
■ wisdom and righteousness, should see fit to afflict us si
with it, that it may, by His power and goodness, be so fa
; abundantly sanctified and blessed to us, as to teach us e:
jby its afflicting illustrations, the uncertainty of human bi
; life, and “ so to number our days, that we may apply our
1 hearts unto wisdom.” "
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand,
