Mass meeting.
One of the largest audiences ever gathered in Columbia, South Carolina, met on Monday night to consider the letter of Mr. Boyee.--Speeches were made by that gentleman, Messrs. Tradewell, Pope, R. M. Johnston, General Martin and Colonel Cunningham, after which resolutions condemnatory of the policy of Mr. Boyce, and inviting him to resign his seat in Congress, were adopted.
In the preamble to these resolutions we find the following exposition of Mr. Boyce's position:
With Mr. Boyce's motives and intentions we have no concern.
The tendency of the letter is to instill feelings of submission and suggest the wish for reconstruction.
Its logic is more directly opposed to secession and a separate confederacy than in favor of the measure as a remedy proposed in our extreme distress.
It is full of gloomy despondency, and is calculated to create dissatisfaction with our own Government, and to reconcile us to that of the enemy, and to dispirit our army in the field.
