Excerpt from Southern Rights Documents: Co-Operation Meeting, Held in Charleston, S. C., July 29th, 1851

I am gratified that you have originated the meeting in Charleston. Every south-carolinian has vital interest in this question, but the people of your city are peculiarly involved, when you are advertized in advance that you can become a second Moscow without exciting any sympathy from the interior. The meeting will have a happy influence. And will, I trust, be followed up by other meetings of our friends in every district and parish in the State, and the seal of condemnation, by the people, put upon the rash and unfortunate move of separate State action.

Excerpt from Southern Rights Documents: Co-Operation Meeting, Held in Charleston, S. C., July 29th, 1851

After the reading of the resolutions, the meeting was addressed by Hon. A. P. Butler, in opposition to separate State action. Although evidently laboring under severe indisposition. He spoke with animation and great effect. As we hope to be able to publish his remarks in full, we forbear further comment at present.

The Hon. Robert W. Barnwell followed in an address of considera-v ble length, addressed to the point of the inability of the State to sustain herself alone, and the folly of looking to Great Britain for countenance and aid. He expressed f diy the abolition policy of that nation, as exemplified by her acts for many years. He referred to the great sacrifice at which she had abolished slavery in her own dominions, and to the fact that in her offer to Texas, the abolition of slavery was one of the conditions.

Both speakers studiously refrained from any appeals to the passions or fears of the audience, and sustained their views of this great question calm and forcible argument.
