"Equality or ladependence," has been her
watchword: no thinking man can deny that
the former is lost to her, and is furcver uiat
tainable, in this ConfeIderacy ;and if her cour
age equals her sensibility to insult and injury.
she Cannot deelinie to strike early and reso
lutely for the latter.
For one, I should vote for secession; and
with the ccneurrence of a respectable majori
ty of her people, for unqualitied sec,:sion.
Very Respect fully,
1. C. M. HAMMOND.
ToR T![2 ADVEnTIsMr..
Mr. Editor:-By the kindness of somei oi
niv friends, my name has been placed in your
paper,as a suitable person to represent the
District in the State Convention. I am much
obliged to my friends fur this mark of their
kindness, but must say in all candour, that I
feel that it is a position that I am not quali
tied to occupy. Should, however, the people
of Edgefield District see fit to elect me, I
shall not shrink from the discharge of my
duty, and shall endeavor to do what I Con
ceive to be right, fearlessly and independently.
In regard to what course the State should
adopt at this time, I will simply present my
humble views:-I think that South Carolina
should use every honorable means in her
power, to enlist the co-operation of the other
Southern States, in forming a Southern Con
federacy, but should she fail in getting their
co-operation, after using all honorable inea
sures to do so, I think she should then take
the matter in her own handls: and if in her
wisdom, she thought it best to secede, I
should go for such a measure, be the conse
quenices what they wa1y.
Respectfully.
Z. W. CARWILE.
roR. TIE ADVER TI$Rl.
Mr. Editor:-In answer to the call for
their sentiments upon those whose names a'e
before the public for seats in the Convention,
I will answer briefly: That I think secession
should be ef'eted by co-operation with one
or more of the slAve States. If that cannot be
obtained, South Carolina should, in the last
resort, secede alone. It is her indisputable
right, and the first ret of agrgression if amy
should follow it, must be committed by the
U. S. Government. Such act of aggression
should biing every slave State to our aid;
but should it not, we Nould rather meet the
consequences of asgerting this right, than
leave it to be done by our children, in a far
worse condition than ourselves for such an
issue. ,31. L. BONIIAM.

Mr. Editor :-As my rame. through the
kindness of friends, has been announced in
your columns for a seat in the Convention, I
deem it a duty I owe to them and the people
of the District, thus formailly to declare, that
I do not wish to be considered a candidate
for the posilion.
I make this forma:l declaration of my pur
pose tht Imayreturn my sincere thanks to
those of my friends, to whose partiaility I am
indebted for the aninounicemienit; and at the
s:utne time to. relieve myself from the awk
wvardness of seeming to occupy an equivoCal
position before the people of the Dis.trict.
Ihowever willing, I umay be. at all1 times to
serve may D~istrier, int this or :any other pomi
tion it mayv chose to placee me, yet, I am un
willing jo embarrass the people inl their choice,
by allowinig my name to be used for so high
und responsible an oflice, without some mnure
decided mnanifestation of public sentiment,
than the kindniess and partiality of a few of
mny friends. Very respect fully,

position of~ tihe Rip Van Winkle of :seuthI
Carolina? Is she to manife~st apaithy and in
difyerence to the momentous events, that are:
in the progress of developmient, ini which her
citizens have so deepi a stake, anad in whlich
hersons are destined to take ant :active parti
eipation ? I trust not. I believe her appa:renlt
uneoncern, results fromi the unaniityt of her
people upon the grand issues biefore them.
and from the facet thait her deei-,ioni hia already

p~recedes the whirlwind, if jpre,.sion and

their steps. IHowever unl:nimlous her pieopl~e

have approached a point in the progress of
political changes and innovations, where it,
will be impossible to stopi tile onward tend
