It appeared to me to be not only a rejection in advance of the main proposition made by these Senators, to wit, that an arrangement should be agreed on between the authorities of South Carolina and your Government, at least until the 15th of February next, by which time South Carolina and the States represented by the Senators might, in convention, devise a wise, just, and peaceable solution of existing difficulties; in the mean time, they say, we think (that is, these Senators) that yo
