Doc. 157.-message of Governor Bonham to the Legislature of South-Carolina. Executive Department, Columbia, April 3, 1863. Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives: Since your last adjournment a mighty stride toward despotism has been made by the government of the North, indicative of a fixed purpose on the part of the dominant party if possible to conquer and destroy the South. The sword and purse have been placed almost absolutely at the disposal of their President, iutive of the State, has been taken in accordance with the dictates of my best judgment; but, as some members of the Legislature entertain views differing somewhat from my own as to the construction to be placed upon your recent act connected with the subject, I have deemed it proper to lay the matter before you for such action as you may consider advisable. Upon your own deliberations, and my humble efforts to carry out your decisions, I invoke the blessings of the Almighty. M. L. Bonham.
