n -the Banner of the 23rd ult.. I find
ehain questions propounded to ine as the
nPresident of the Southern Rights Associa
tion for Claremont, which I think ;t proper
- or the to respond to. The writer, whose
'piqee, not purporting to be a conmunica
"to'" and appearing under the editorial
Jead, I presume to be the editor, expresses
'for myself sentiments of respect and os
teem, for which I make to him ny acknowl
edgmente, and assure him that to me one of
the most painful incidents of an excited
political contest, is its tendency to alienate
,fqelngs of good will and friendship, and
-to distrust and suspicion as to the honesty
.-and purity of purpose of the opposing par"
ties. I assure my friend of the Banner,
,that I am quite ready to account to the
ublic for my conduct as President of the
onthorn Rights Association, and to an
" swer all proper questions relating thereto,
simply and honestly, and that a series of
:arose questions such as are resorted to, to
extort the truth front a reluctant or sits
* lecting witness, was not necessary to draw
t fromt me, and certainly shall not betray
me to say any thing n ich my own sense

de, for - the pur poso t cearoisieng'those
spettres,- yet -that I shall be abl6 befuro l
close, to sjted so much light on'the suhject,
that the' wili %f themsejves fade away;.
and th t yop Mr. lditor will regret the
gonor tune an' I spirit of ;tho arttelq I am
respoiml'ig to, and especialIy the ciarge of
instucerity and fraudulent: isguise, which
you nak:e, I hope inconsiderately, but cer.
tinloy very intrepidly.
I relation to this charge, and as proof of
i jusiico, you ask, "why is it that Messrs.
i'neves, Barnwell and Withers arc' the only.,
persons named as invited and expected. to
address the, meeting.- Was it not well
known that these gentlemen would not
attend, and were not their nnties inserted
as a mere blind?" I have not the card an
nouncing the meeting before me, and from
my own memory would not undertake to
say whether tit"se are the only gentlemen
named. I ti!% it for granted it is as
you any; but it not named, there were
others, as clearly designated as if namned,
to wit. out Senators and Representatives
in Congress, (a majority of whom are
known to be co-operation men,) all the gen.
tknmen who have been nominated as canl.
didates for the Southern Congress (both
sides,) the gentlemen named, and
in all forty distinguished men from different
partse of the State-equal numbers from
bo h parties-all of whom were invited, and
if they had attended, it was impossible that
the co-operation party could have been
more strongly represented. That all who
were invited would'attend, certainly, was
expected; but as certainly, it was not
expected that not one cf that party from
abroad would come. Why, it was so, we
cannot account. Those who have ack
nowledged their invitations, do justice to
the courtesy, etc., extended to them. But
where do you find that the gentlemen
named by you were the only ones of your
party expected to address the neeting!
Certainly not in the published card. It is
unfortunate that you had not more carefully
ascertained the facts, beforo you made
them the ground of so serious a charge.
I will tpow endeavor to give 40 account
of my stewardship as President of the
Southere Rights Association for Claremont.
The first question put to me is, why the
Association has not been called together
since May last! I will endeavor to answer
this question as fully as is necessary. "anl
without evasion.', 'The Southern 'Rights
Association is an organization intended for
the defence of Southern I tghts. framed on
general priiciples in which the State rig his
men of both our present parties profess to,
and I bel.eve do concur, and of which
almost every tan in the country is a
member. It is therefore ao bond of union
which, although inot strong enough to
prevent its members froin breaking into
parties, nay hereafter help to bring themt
togetlter agatin. It is imlonssible to foresee
with certainty what is in the future, and
upon what ground we nav not be driven
by events which are presing upon us,
inl defence of our ri::hts. I therefore
think that thou;;h at this tine, powerless of
good, because ii it were to attempt to act,
it. would iinediately be takcn possession
of by the strongest party as a party engine,
and all the dissentients would innnediaetcly
withdraw from it, yet it is worth preserving
as a ground on which the trie hearted yf
both parties may her eaftvr be geld to rally.
Those tmemttbers who attended the last
meeting ~a ll remeinber the deep excite
ment, and alutost hostile collisiun which
s.trung up in the discussion of the
principal natter then under debate. It
wvas'-nanifest that the two piresenlt partiesi
occasion on .siichit~ter involving the
grounds of difference between them should
be brought into discussion, there woulId be
a rupiture; the stronger, wieblever it mi ghit
be, taking thle naite, and the others wath.
drawing. TI'ins, so far as it depends on
tme, for the rea.sonts a lready given, I wonhId
avoid; andti it is thle reason anil not anyt
supposed orders fronm thle Cenitrail Com-i,
miittee, why I bave not ca ll the~ Asso
ciation togethle r. If t here is a ny good
endl to lie attainted by callinig the A\snw
ciationi together undtier present ~tuenmt.
stainces, it inay be done with or w ithout my
conenmrrence--I hoipe however, it ttm~y be
meC, Si) far as they are uno~ti-i me. -.
I furthier atniwer
TIhat in fact, I have received no circular
that I have any recollect ion of, frotin the
Central Committee. It is trtue that I saw a
circular, dated .\ay 20thi, wvhich was shown
to tme by a gentlenian tnow acting with the
co-operation pary-andc which since yottr
call, has beena puit inito my hands by another
genttleman .vitht authority to use it--As
that circular contains all that I have seent
from the Central Commitittee, or any organi
of the see 'ssiont party, which could possibly
give colotur, to the ch:srge against then,
that. they desired tio stifle discussion, I have
transcritbe all that it cobntaints on that
subject, aind ask you as ant act of justice
to pu~lihtl it.
"Inm the nmeeting lately held in Charles
ton, wyhile entire unanimnity purevailedl as to
the great object of vindicating our rights by
adopting the mtost effectual nmeanres of re
sistance, there was sorme dliversity of Opin
ion as to thte questioni, what mxode'of resist.
ance will be miost ofretuial.
'The vast. mnajority of the dlelegates who
composed the meeting concurred in the~
propriety and necessity of those resolutIons
with regard to the policy of the State
wvhich wvere adopted.
A minority, highly respectablo for intel.
ligenco arnd deyotion .to the comtmon cause,
regarded the action of the meeting as im
prudent and impolitic. Butt happily this
diflerence of opinion was not perini ted to
et.1t estyranmgemient of feelhng; anid there
is now' every reason to hope, that thte sons
of South Carolina wIll move forward in do
fence of their rights with an unbroken front
and uinexamnpled unanimity.
*To effect this great object thte utnmost re
spect should ho sthown, and -the most, con
ciliatory conduct adopted on thte part of the
majority towards the miniority of the great
resistamncoparty'of the State. If such con.

Gontlemon: A prior .ngagement ilIl,
I.regret to say, denr nete;plea su rpof
participating With yor in your Co-operaipnH
demonstration on the first iionday in Octo
ber.
I should have been much gratified to
minngle my counsol, humble though I
know them to be, with the noble spirits
who will meet you on that: ;ccsion, as al
s to'have made the persotinal acluintance
of any follow citizens of the wealthy. and
populous District of Sumnter.
I concur faiy in the objects ind purpo.
ses of your meeting and hope Itv ill ac-"
complist much rood in illustrrating the true
character of the contoet now waxing so
hot in South Carolina. The painful solici
tude which I h;rve felt fur the position of
our common mother has been greatly muiti
gated by the accumulating evidence that
the people have taken at lnat the iniestion
of Separate State Action into considerationr
and I verily believe they will prevail in
spite of the effrt1s of a pm rtisan press and
save the S:ate from the miscarriages inci
dent to a separate nationality. Tm'! extra
ordinary action of the Charleston Conven
tion in May last precipitated a d.vsou in
South Carolina wt hich perchance might
have beens avoided. The Co-operationists
n ert" t,'u al.owcd to stand upon the plat
i address and resolutions of
' a ithout sacrificing their
the ,t ringest dic:ates of
Anxious ore to pre er to harms'n;y
this requin u. nch for t hat great end.
W e ' eeedionists upon that
vhich. every resist
l!re main n he state could occupy with
out involving any .-cr.tico of principle, and
were wil'ing to tri-t the. whole matter to
the judgment, wisd.,.. mit discretion of the
State Convention e." v. 'en it assembled,
if no efUirts shoulh + "' aont there or else
where to influence '- esien unduly.
The Secessionists ju-; from their ac.
tions thought it to he .,.. ,table that the
State should be irrevo i '!edged to sep.
erate action as far as toe gaid. and there.
by inanufactire a Btit o ublic opinion
in the State in fat or of l bie. dicy, which
so far from h uving been .:ed upon by
the people in the electio. ..It- Delegates,
twas never tiscusod be '!..mn. They
were unwilling to trust t - 'at is no in

would surlly, tho-fair escutcheon of South
C irolinra if aiho rominred in. a Union,
where Georgia, Alaibarit and Mlisaissippi
was, long'er tharj the first of next Miay. The
2a4 Februtary was tho' favorite day fixed
in tho hotela and at the street corners for
passing the cirdinmance. - ho change n biich
has come "over the spirit of' their dram'
proves one thing at least, that Co-operation
wad rnot such 'an unmitigated hturabug at
that time as was aiupposedl whien wovre
told that "Seo~ession was the last arrow
in our qjniver," arnd that it maust bo shot niT
before our thieksakined brethreei of the
South " would face thre mnusic In 'de.
fence of their nown rIghts.
Tlhae Charlostonm meeting pledged 'he
State as far a it ro'uld 'to Secession 'after
rejecting our platformand no alternative
was left the Cu-operationists bnutte in
homre and coalcentrato public adntnent to
counteract that pledge.
