President then requested the Delegates (by previous decision) to step forward as they were called in the alphabetical order of the Districts which they represented, and sign the Ordinance. Two hours were occupied in this solemn ceremony — the crowd waiting patiently the end. As the Delegation from St. Philip's and St. Michael's came forward, again the hall was filled with applause. And as the Hon. R. B. Rhett advanced to the parchment, the shouts became deafening, long-continued, until he had seated himself, signed and retired.--The same special compliment was paid to our Ex-Governor Gist, who recommended in his message to the extra session the immediate secession of South Carolina from the Union. At the close of the signatures, the President, advancing to the front of the platform, announced that the Seal of the State had been set, the signatures of the Convention put to the Ordinance, and he thereby proclaimed the State of South Carolina a separate, independent nationality.

The second ballot for two other Commissioners to Washington was unsuccessful. On the third ballot, Ex-Gov. J. H. Adams, and ex-Congressman J. L. Orr were elected to act with Mr. Barnwell as Commissioners to treat with the United States. The ratification of the Secession Ordinance — interesting Scenes. The Charleston Mercury has an interesting description of the passage and ratification of the Ordinance of Secession by the State Convention.

cannot endure permanently half slave and half free, and that the public mind must rest in the belief that slavery is in the course of ultimate extinction. This sectional combination for the subversion of the Constitution has been aided in the States by elevating to citizenship persons who, by the supreme law of the land, are incapable of becoming citizens, and their votes have been used to inaugurate the new policy hostile to the South and destructive to its peace and safety. On the 4th of March next this party will take possession of the Government. It has been announced that the South shall be excluded from the common territory, that the judicial tribunals will be made sectional; that war must be waged against slavery until it shall cease throughout the United States.--The guarantees of the Constitution will then no longer exist; equal rights of the States will be lost. The slaveholding States will no longer have the power of self- government or self-protection, and the Feder

f South Carolina's Secession. The following is the declaration of causes which justify the secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union, as reported by the committee to prepare an address to the people of the Southern States: The State of South Carolina having determined to resume a separate and equal position among nations, deems it due to herself and the remaining United States of America and the nations of the world, that she should declare the causes which led to the act. In 1765 that portion of the British empire embracing Great Britain undertook to make laws for the government of the American colonies. A struggle for the right of self-government ensued, which resulted, on the 4th of July, 1776, in a declaration by the colonies that they' are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, and that as free and independent States they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do such things which independent S
