epublic received no hurt; and yet, under his roof, he met in conclave a band of men, like himself sworn to be defenders of his native land, from foes without and foes within, to plot schemes for the ruin of that country. At his table, and in secret session in his library, sat William H. Gist, then Governor of South Carolina; ex-governor James H. Adams; James L. Orr, once Speaker of the National House of Representatives; the entire Congressional Delegation of South Carolina, These were John McQueen, Lawrence M. Keitt, Milledge L. Bonham, John D. Ashmore, and William W. Boyce, of the House of Representatives, and Senators James H. Hammond and James Chesnut, Jr. excepting William Porcher Miles (who was compelled by sickness to be absent), and several other prominent men of that State. Then and there the plan for the overt act John Caldwell Calhoun. of rebellion, performed by South Carolinians in Convention at Charleston, sixty days later, seems to have been arranged. They were as

offer should be made, by an accredited representative, to negotiate for an amicable arrangement of all matters between the State and Federal Governments; provided, that no re-enforcements should be sent into those forts. There was, he said, a tacit, if not an actual agreement, between the President and the South Carolina delegation in Congress, The written communications to the President were signed by the following named persons, then Representatives in Congress from South Carolina:--John McQueen, William Porcher Miles, M. L. Bonham, W. W, Boyce, and Lawrence M. Keitt. that the relative military condition should remain the same, while each party forbore hostile movements. This statement of Miles satisfied the Convention that they might play treason to their hearts' content until the 4th of March; provided, they kept violent hands off the property of the United States. The President, as we shall observe hereafter, denied that he ever gave such pledge, and pronounced the accusatio

, shook hands with some of their friends, and left the hall. Four days afterward, a letter signed by the entire South Carolina delegation, then in Washington, was sent in to the Speaker, announcing, in the peculiar phraseology of the devotees of State Supremacy, that the action of their State had dissolved their connection with those whom they had been associated with in a common agency (meaning the National Congress), and that they should vacate their seats. This letter was signed by John McQueen, Milledge L. Bonham, W. W. Boyce, and J. D. Ashmore. Law rence M. Keitt and William Porcher Miles were then in the Secession Convention at Charleston. After drawing their pay from the public treasury up to the hour of their desertion, they departed for their homes. The South Carolina Senators, as we have observed, had already resigned. See page 51. The announcement of the treasonable movements at Charleston was heard with a calm dignity quite remarkable by the representatives of

tter as proper, and recognizing the Convention as a legally constituted body. Governor Houston protested against the assumption of any powers by the Convention beyond the reference of the question of secession to the people. The Revolutionary Convention assembled in the Hall of the House of Representatives, at Austin, on the 28th of January. One of the chief managers was John H. Reagan, a judge, who afterward became the Postmaster-general of the so-called Confederate States of America. McQueen, a commissioner from South Carolina, was there to assist in working the machinery. It was easily managed, for it was so well constructed that there was but little friction. Of the one hundred and twenty-two counties in the State, not one-half were represented. The whole affair was a stupendous fraud upon the people. But what cared the representatives of the Oligarchy for the rights and privileges of the people? Their — whole movement in the Slave-labor States, since the Presidential ele

e people of the State of South Carolina, will either attack or molest the United States forts in the harbor of Charleston, previously to the action of the Convention, and, we hope and believe, not until an offer has been made, through an accredited representative, to negotiate for an amicable arrangement of all matters between the State and Federal Government, provided that no reenforcements shall be sent into those forts, and their relative military status shall remain as at present.

And here I must, in justice to myself, remark that, at the time the paper was presented to me, I objected to the word provided, as it might be construed into an agreement, on my part, which I never would make. They said that nothing was further from their intention; they did not so understand it, and I should not so consider it. It is evident they could enter into no reciprocal ag
