NOTICE.

After the printing of the 9th volume, and so much of the General Index
as relates to Banks, where it is stated that the "Bank Act''' of 1712,
could not be found, Edmund Bellenger, Jr. Esq., had the kindness to com-
municate to me where a copy of that Act could be procured, in the Library
of the Legislature of this State, in a M. S. copy of the " Temporary Laws"
of the State. 1 am, also, further indebted to Mr. Bellenger for "An
account of the rise and progress of the Paper Bills of Credit in South Caro-
lina, from the year 1700," &c. By whom it was drawn up I cannot say,
but as it is found in " Indian Book, No. 9," a M. S. volume in the Li-
brary of the Legislature, belonging, I presume, to the Secretary of State's
office, I cannot doubt but that it is an official document, prepared by pub-
lie authority in 1739. I should not think that I had performed my duty
to the Public, if I did not embrace this " Account" with the " Bank Act
of 1712," in this publication. I have therefore placed them at the end
of the 9th volume.

GENERAL INDEX.

damages in such action should not be as-
sessed and recovered by him or them.
And if sufficient cause be not shown , to
arrest the final judgment, or being return-
ed warned, or upon two writs of scire facias
it be returned that the defendant, his ex-
ecutors or administrators, had nothing
whereby to be summoned, or could not be
found in the Province, shall make default,
a writ of enquiry of damages shall be
awarded, and judgment final for plaintiff.
7 vol. 193

If there be two or more plaintiffs or
defendants, and one or more of them shall
die, if the cause of such action shall sur-
vive to the surviving plaintiff or plaintiffs,

fendants, the action shall not be abated,
but such death being suggested on the
record, the action shall proceed at the suit
of the survivors. 7 vol. 193

Action in the county court sha;ll not

The Act of l.^th February, 1723,
speaks of " the Commissioners of the
Bank ;" of the " Bank Act," &c. The
Editor has found no Act in relation to
either, but observes that Judge Brevard
says, " that in 1712, a public Bank
was established, and the issue of bills
amounted to £48,000, which were called
Bank bills, and, like our present money,
miaht be loaned out." See introduction
to Brevard's Digest, p. 11. Dr. Cooper's
note to 2 vol. of the Statutes, 711. 2

vol. Ramsay's South Carolina, 163. AH
that can be found on the subject in 1712,
in the Statutes, is the title, given by
Trott, of "An Act to raise £52,000,
by stamping and establishing new bills of
credit, and putting the same out to inter-
est, in order to call in and sink the former
bills of crt^dit, and thereby give a farther
encouragement to trade and commerce."

1712 is partly recited. See the construc-

10s. was deir.anded on each £100, and
that execution could be taken out in favor
of the public, in ten days after the expi-
ration of the year, for the interest due
that year. The money was lent for 12
years. 3 vol. 232

FORCE BILL OF CONFRESS.

Report of the Committee on the Force
Bill of 2d March, 1833. 1 vol. 394

The principles sought to be established
by that Act, are calculated to destroy our
present constitutional frame of govern,
ment, to subvert public liberty, and
bring about the ruin and debasement of
the Southern States. 1 vol. 394

The Act "further to provide for the
collection of duties on imports," was in-
tended to counteract the proceedings of
South Carolina for the protection of her
reserved rights ; and purports doing so by
means not authorized bv the Constitution.
1 vol. 394

Brief enumeration of the constitution-
al and legal o'njectious to which this Act
of Congress is liable. 1 vol. 394, 395

Among other features of this Act, it
supercedes and annihilates the powers and
jurisdictions of the State Courts. 1 vol.
397

The members of the Legislature of
this State, the Judges, the Civil oflicers,
acting in the line of their duty, may be-

252

FORCE.

come amenable to the United States^s
Courts, and a scene of confusion in-
troduced incompatible with regular go-
yernment. 1 vol. 397

The object of the supporters of this
bill, is manifestly to introduce a consoli-
Jated government. 1 vol. 898

It is a continuance of the efforts of one
and the same party that commenced in
the convention of 1787, that assumed the
name o^ federal very soon after the for-
mation of the present government, that
have attempted to engross the power of
the individual States, and to interfere in
their domestic concerns, that enacted the
Alien and Sedition Laws, that introduced
the Protecting Tariff, that denies the So-
vereignty of the States, the existence of
reserved rigbts, and ever points at Con-
solidation. 1 vol. 398

It is the government of a majority,
with reference only to the interests and
power of that majority. The protective
system is a small part only of the unjust
proceedings of that majority. 1 vol. 398

Unless some constitutional check can
be interposed to stop these oppressions, we
shall be liable to others still more revolt-
ing. 1 vol. 398

The present is an attempt to raise a
party within the State devoted to Federal
interests, exempted from State controul,
and subject only to the Courts of the
United States. It is an attempt which,
if not resisted, will reduce the Southern
States to the last degree of provincial
slavery. 1 vol. 399

The oath of allegiance contemplated,
has been introduced from no party views,
or to support any party ascendency, or to
gratify any party resentment ; nor has
South Carolina ever sought to endanger
the Union, but so to maintain it, as to
render it a real safeguard for public liber-
ty. 1 vol. 399

This contest is not to be given up till
the Act of Congress in question shall no
longer disgrace the Statute Book. We
must go on therefore without passion, but
without faltering. 1 vol, 399

Since many of the provisions of this
Act are made permanent, and may be put
in force hereafter, the sentiments of the
■Convention ought to be expressed on the
principles it contains ; and to take care
.that no Federal authority unauthorized by

our Federal Compact, shall be exercised
within the limits of this State ; the com.
mitte, therefore, recommend the follow-
ing Ordinance. 1 vol. 400

An Ordinance to nullify the Act of
Congress of the United States entitled
"An Act further to provide for the collec-
tion of duties on imports,'' commonly
called the Force Bill. 1 vol. 400

The Act in question is unauthorized by
the Constitution, subversive of it, and
destructive of public liberty ; it is there-
fore null and void within the limits of this
State ; and it is the duty of the Legisla-
ture, from time to time, to pass such Acts
as are necessary to prevent the enforce-
ment of the same. 1 vol. 400

The allegiance of the citizens of this
State is due to the State ; obedience
only, and not allegiance, is due to any
otlier power acting under authority dele-
gated by the State. 1 vol. 400

The Legislature empowered to pass
Acts prescribing oaths of allegiance, and
defining what shall amount to a violation
of the allegiance due to the State. 1 vol.*

The forms and proceedings before ma-

are prescribed by law in cases where ten-
ants hold over after the expiration of

In all cases of forcible entry and de-
tainer in the parishes of St. Philip and
St. Michael, it shall be the exclusive duty
of the Ministerial Magistrate to prepare
the case for trial, summon the parties,
present the cause for docketing, attend
and conduct the trial as prosecuting offi-
cer, exa'-th^ as is now done by them on
the trial of slaves and free persons of
colour. 6 vol. 486

The compensation of the judicial ma-
gistrate and his colleagues shall be to
each five dollars, and that of the minis-
terial magistrate five dollars, in lieu of
all other charges, the costs to be paid by
the party losing the suit, — provided, if
defendant loses the suit and should prove
unable to pay the costs^ nothing herein
contained shall prevent the plaintiff from
being liable for the said costs, as well as
those of the constable. 6 vol. 486

In all cases of forcible entry and de-
tainer, and landlord and tenant, in the
parishes of St. Philip and St. Michael,

The two judicial Magistrates elected
for the city of Charleston, by the Board
of Magistrates, in pursuance of an Act
passed in December, 1830, entitled " An
Act for the further regulation of Magis-
trates and Constables of the parishes of
St. Philip and St. Michael," shall have
exclusive right of presiding overall Courts
in the said city of Charleston organized
for the trial of slaves and other persons
of color, charged with the offences pun-
ishable by law ; and in such cases where
the offence charged calls for two Justices
to sit on the Court, as is the case in some
instances, the presiding Magistrate may
call to his assistance either the other judi-
cial or a ministerial Magistrate ; provid-
ed, the ministerial magistrate so called,
be other than the one who brings up the
cause for trial ; and it shall be the duty
of the ministerial Magistrates, and they
shall have the exclusive right of issuing
all process in the said Court ; and it shall
be the duty of such ministerial Magistrate
who institutes a cause for trial, to attend
and conduct the same as prosecuting
officer ; and the said judicial Magistrates
and their assistants, in those cases where
assistant Justices are required by law,
shall each receive the sum of $2 for doc-
keting and trying each cause that shall
be brought before them, to be paid as
Magistrates are now paid in the trial of
slaves and other persons of color ; and
the other, or ministerial Magistrate, shall
receive all other fees authorized by law
in Magistrate''s cases, and the additional
sum of twenty-five cents for attending and
conducting each trial. 6 vol. 457

Where any slave or other person of
color shall be charged with an olfcnce not

be inflicted ; but where the freeholders
are unanimous, the concurrence of the
Magistrate shall [not] be required ; pro-
vided, however, that on the trial of a slave
or other person of color, for any capital
offence, the unanimous concurrence of
the freeholders, and also one of the pre-
siding Magistrates, shall be necessary to
a conviction. 6 vol. 458

The Judicial magistrates shall open a

possession from tenants or lessees, who
shall hold over after determination of their
leases,'^ and the amendatory Act passed
in 1817 ; and in all cases of forcible entry
and detainer — it shall be the exclusive
duty of the ministerial magistrate to pre-
pare the case for trial, summon the par-
ties, present the cause for docketing, at-
tend and conduct the trial as prosecu-
ting officer, exactly as is now done by
them on the trial of slaves and free persons
of color ; and it shall be the duty of the
judicial magistrates to open docket books
for these three classes of cases, and be
governed in all things relating thereto, as
they are required to be on the trial of
slaves and free persons of color. The
compensation of the judicial magistrate
and his collegues, shall be, to each, the
sum of five dollars, and that of the
ministerial magistrate, five dollars, in
lieu of all other charges, the cost to
be paid by the party cast in the suit.
Provided, always, if the defendant should
be cast in the suit, and should prove una-
ble to pay the costs, nothing herein con-
tained shall prevent the plantiff from
being liable for the said costs, as well as
those accruing to the constable. 6 vol. 486

datory Act of 1817, and in all cases of
forcible entry and detainer, the freeholders
or slave holders, and jurors aforesaid,

trate, in the presence of the judicial ma-
gistrate, at the time of docketing the
cause for trial, from a box to be kept

cure from the treasurer of the city of
Charleston, a list of such persons as may
be liable to serve as freeholders or slave
liolders, or jurors, and the names thus pro-
cured shall be placed in apartment No. 1,
in said box, and be thence drawn in apart-
ment No. 2, until apartment No. 2 shall
be transferred to No. 1, and the mode re-
peated. 6 vol. 486

chaePs, and for other purposes therein
mentioned," passed in 1827, as requires
the magistrate's court to be held every
day in the week, Sundays excepted, for
the trial of causes small and mean, re-
pealed— and instead thereof, there shali
be a magistrate's court, for the trial of
causes small and mean as aforesaid, three
days in each week, to be selected by the
board of magistrates. Provided, however,
that nothing herein contained shall pre-
vent additional courts being held, if cases
of emergency (of which emergency the
judicial magistrate shall determine) should
require such additional court to be held.

recognizances, information or other pa-
pers, in the respective clerk's offices of
the courts to which they are returnable,
at least ten days before the meeting of
the said courts respectively ; and on their
failure so to do, they shall not receive any
fee or compensation for issuing or taking
the same, unless it shall appear that the
offence has been committed or the infor-
mation made subsequent to such day, or
by the return of the sheriff, constable or
other officer executing such warrant or
other process, to be made on oath, that
the same could not be executed by him
in time therefor, being subject to the pay-
ment of a fine of $5 for every such de-
fault, within the discretion of the court,
to whom a rule thereof shall be made re-
turnable. 6 vol. 553

In all cases where such default shall
arise from the neglect or improper delay
of the sheriff, constable or other officer
charged with the execution of any war-
rant or other process pertaining to the
court of sessions, he shall in like manner
forfeit the fees to which he would other-
wise be entitled, and be subject to like
penalty as prescribed in the foregoing
clause. 6 vol. 553

lord and tenant, forcible entry and de-

There is no such body known to the

served. 1 vol. 335

Although these powers are termed So-
vereign, it is an improper application of
' the term. Sovereignty is one and un-
alienable, and belongs to each State.
The Federal Government is a treaty, an
alliance, a confederation, between sover-
eign States; whereby that Government
has acquired by delegation, controul over
War, Peace, Commerce, Foreign Nego-
tiation, and Indian Tiade. On all other
subjects, the States exercise their Sover-

The right of State interposition is not
strictly a constitutional right, not being
expressly noticed in the Constitution ;
but it is included in the reserved rights
acknowledged by the Constitution. 1
vol. 363

And it is consonant with the Constitu-
tion ; and agreed to be so by Mr. Madi-
son, 1 vol. 363

Who agrees that the acts of the Fede-
ral Government are no further valid than
the Constitution authorizes them. 1 vol.
363

And that the States, in their sovereign
capacity, being the parties to this com-
pact, there can be no tribunal above
them ; but they must decide each for
itself in the last resort. 1 vol. 363

If this be not so, then will the discre-
tion of Congress, and not the Constitu-
tion, itself be the measure of the powers
of Congress, and we shall live under a
government deriving its powers from its
own will. 1 vol. 364

If the several States have not the pow-
er of interposing in case of a gross vio-

lation of the Constitution, then is ours a
consolidated government. 1 vol. 364

But it is the duty of each State to
protect the Constitution from infractions,
and therefore to interpose to arrest the
progress of the evil. 1 vol. 364

It is said this right of interposition may
be abused ; but there will be no tempta-
tion to abuse it while Congress acts with-
in its charter. 1 vol. 364

Nor will it, as Mr. Madison observes,
be lightly resorted to. 1 vol. 364

It is the duty of Congress to remove
the complaint by legislation, or to call a
Convention. 1 vol. 365

The President imputes to South Caro-
lina the intention cf repealing all the
revenue laws, or leaving no alternative
but a dissolution of the Union. Whereas,
South Carolina has appealed to the other
States for the call of a Convention, and
asks no more than a reduction of tariff
taxation to the revenue standa>-d ; and a
resolution has passed her Legislature re.
cently, demanding the call of a Conven-
tion of the States. 1 vol. 365

South Carolina forbears to notice in
any spirit of anger the calumnies which
the President has thought fit to heap on
the citizens of this State, who have taken
the lead in this controversy. 1 vol. 365

Neither they nor the State will be
driven from their course by these unwar-
rantable slanders, or by threats of domes-
tic discord, or hostile force. 1 vol. 366

The President has no authority to put
down the opposition of South Carolina.
1 vol. 366

He is not an autocrat here; he can do
no more than execute the laws in the
manner the laws prescribe. 1 vol. 366

The President intimates an intention
of putting down the opposition of South
Carolina by force and arms ; but there is
no existing law that will justify this mea-
sure. Constituted authorities acting un-
der the laws of a State, and citizens pay-
ing obedience to those laws, are not " re-
bellious insurgents," acting without law-
ful authority. 1 vol. 366

The President addresses not insurgents,
who are commanded to disperse, but the
people, who are thereby required to re-
assemble in Convention and repeal their
Ordinance; it is not a case, therefore,
in which force is authorized. 1 vol. 367

STATE RIGHTS.

54a

The long-iised means of promises and
tlireats by wliicli tyrants have attempted
to crush resistance to oppression, failed
with our ancestors in the case of Great
Britain, and will not succeed with South
Carolina. 1 vol. 308

It is for us to take care, that we take
no part in forging the claims by which
our liberties are manacled. 1 vol. 369

South Carolina has raised no standing
army, as the President insinuates ; her
object is not disunion ; it is the vindica-
tion of her rights. Venerating tiie Con-
stitution, it is her duty and her intention
to vindicate that compact from all ag-
gression, foreign or domestic. 1 vol.
369

The President denies the right of a
State to secede from the Union, inasmuch
as the States have consented to form a
single nation. Where, then, are the rights
of the States? Thus subjected to the
uncontrouled will of the federal govern-
ment ? If this be the case, a federal
ofiicer may proclaim them as traitors,
and reduce them to subjection bv a mili-
tary torce. Secession is denied to the
States ; and they are told, they have
bound themselves to these enormities by
consenting to a perpetual Union. 1 vol.
369

If these principles are established, then
has tlie republic found a master. 1 vol.
370

A sovereign State is denounced, her
authority derided, the allegiance of her
citizens denied ; she is commanded to tear
from her archieves her most solemn de-
crees, and threatened with military force
in case of disol)edience. South Carolina
feels that in resisting theso arbitrary man-
dates, she is defending her own rights,
the rights of the States, and the rights of
man. 1 vol. 370

The citizens adjured to support their
primary allegiance to their own State, to
disregard these vain "lenaces, and to sus-
tain the dignity and protect the liberties
of the State, with their lives and fortunes.

Certified copy of the Preamhie and

taken in supposing that Congress will
yield no relief as to the Acts com-
plained of. That South Carolina he ear-
nestly requested and respectfully entreat-
ed to lescind or suspend her Ordinance of
Nullification. That Congress be and are
earnestly and respectt\illy requested and
entreated to modify the Acts laying du-
ties on imports, so as to effect a gradual
reduction to the standard of neces.sarv
revenue. That Virginia expects, and
the other States have a right to expect,
that nothing vvill be done on either side
which may endanger the existence of the
Union. That Virginia continues to re-
gard the doctrines of State Rights and
State Sovereignty, as set forth in the reso-
lutions of 1798 and 1799, as a true inter-
pretation of the Constitution of the U.
States ; but not as countenancing the
proceedings of South Carolina, or ail the
principles assumed hy the President in his
Proclamation. That a Commissioner be
sent to communicate with the Governor
of the State of South Carolina on this
subject. That these resolutions be com-

The members of the Legislature of

Courts, and a scene of confusion intro-
duced incompatible with regular govern-
ment. 1 vol. 397

The object of the supporters of this
bill, is manifestly to introduce a consoli-
dated government. 1 vol. 398

It is a continuance of the efforts of
one and the same party, that commenc-
ed in the Convention of 1787, that as-
sumed the name of federal very soon after
the formation of the present government,
that have attempted to engross the power
of the individual States, and interfere in
their domestic concerns, that enacted the
Alien and Sedition Laws, that introduced
the Protecting Tariff, that denies the
Sovereignty of the States, the existence
of reperved rights, and ever points at
Consolidation. 1 vol. 398

It is the government of a majority,
with reference only to the interests and
power of that majority. The protective
system is a small part only of the unjust
proceedings of that majority. I vol. 398

Unless some constitutional check can
be interposed to stop these oppressions,

volting. 1 vol. 398

The present is an attempt to raise a
party within the State devoted to federal

United States. It is an attempt which, if
not resisted, will reduce the Southern
States to the last degree of provincial
slavery. 1 vol. 399

The oath of allegiance contemplated,

ty. 1 vol. 399

Since many of the provisions of this

Act are made permanent, and may be
put in force hereafter, the sentiments of
the Convention ought to be expressed on
the principles it contains : and to take
care that no federal authority unauthor-
ized by our federal compact, shall be ex-
ercised within the limits of this State r
the Committee, therefore, recommend
the following Ordinance. 1 vol. 400

An Ordinance to nullify the Act of
Congress of the United States, entitled
"An Act further to provide for the collec-
tion of duties on imports," (commonly
called the Force Bill.) 1 vol. 400

The Act in question is unauthorized
by the Constitution, subversive of it, and
destructive of public liberty; it is there-
fore null and void within the limits of
this State : and it is the duty of the Le-
gislature, from time to time, to pass such
Acts as are necessary to prevent the en-
forcement of the same. 1 vol. 400

The allegiance of the citizens of this
State, is due to the State : Obedience
only, and not allegiance, is due to any
other power acting under authority dele-
gated by the State. 1 vol. 400

The Legislature empowered to pass
Acts prescribing oaths of allegiance, and
defining what shall amount to a violation
of the allegiance due to the State. 1
vol. 401

An Act to modify an Act laying duties
on imports, passed in Congress, 14th
July, 1832, and all other Acts imposing
duties on imports. (The compromise

After December 31, 1833, all duties

That South Carolina is mistaken in sup-

her Ordinance of nullification. That
Congress be and are earnesliv and res-
pectfully requested and entreated to modi-
fy the Acts laying duties on imports, so
as to effect a gradual reduction to the
standard of necessary revenue. That
Virginia expects, and the other States
have a right to expect, that nothing will

The principles sought to be established

ernment, to subvert public liberty, and
bring about the ruin and debasement of
the Southern States. 1 vol. 394

The Act " further to provide for the
collection of duties on imports,'' was in-
tended to counteract the proceedings of
South Carolina for the protection of her
reserved rights ; and purports doing so by
means not authorized by the Constitu-
tion. 1 vol. 394

Brief enumeration of the constitution-
al and legal objections to which this Act
of Congress is liable. 1 vol. 394, 395

Among other features of this Act, it

vol. 397

The members of the legislature of this
State, the Judges, the civil officers, act-
ing in the line of their duty, may become
amenable to the United Slates Courts,
and a scene of confusion be introduced in-
compatible with regular government. 1
vol. 397

The object of the supporteis of the bill,
is manifestly to introduce a consolidated
government. 1 vol. 398

It is a continuance of the efforts of one
and the same party that commenced in

the Convention of 1787, that assumed the
name o^ federal very soon after the forma-
tion of the present government, that have
attempted to engross the power of the in-
dividual states, and interfere in their do-
mestic concerns, that enacted the Alien
and Sedition Laws, that introduced the
Protecting TaritT, that denies the Sover-
eignty of the States, the existence of re-
served rights, and ever points at Consoli-
dation. 1 vol. 398

It is the government ofa majority, with
reference only to the interest and power
of that majority. The protective system
is a small part only of the unjust proceed-
ings of that majority. 1 vol. 398

Unless some constitutional check can
be interposed to stop these oppressions,
we shall be liable to others still more re-
volting. 1 vol. 398

The present is an attempt to raise a
party within the State devoted to Federal
interest, exempted from State controul,
and subjected only to the Courts of the
United States. It is an attempt which, if
not resisted, will reduce the southern
States to the last decree of provincial
slavery. 1 vol. 399

This contest is not to be given up till
the Act of Congress in question shall no
longer disgrace the Statute Book. We
must go on, therefore, without passion, but
without faltering. 1 vol. 399

Since many of the provisions of this act
are made permanent, and may be put in
force hereafter, the sentiments of the
Convention ought to be expressed on the
principles it contains : and to take care
that no Federal authority unauthorized by
our Federal Compact, shall be exercised
within the limits of this State, the Com.
mittee, therefore, recommend the follow-
ing Ordinance. 1 vol. I vol. 400

The act in question is unauthorized by
the Constitution, subversive of it, and
destructive of public liberty ; it is there-
fore null and void within the limits of this

as are necessary to prevent the enforce-
ment of the same. 1 vol. 400
