Phenix Gazette

An able writer in the Boston Courier has addressed a letter to the South Carolina Delegation in Congress, which we re-publish with more than usual pleasure. It has long been the fashion to revile the Hartford Convention and accuse the members of that body with treasonable and traitorous designs.

Without attempting to go into an examination of the truth of these charges, it is sufficiently manifest that the Disunion projects of some of the Southern politicians exceed in enormity and wickedness the worst that was ever laid at the door of the Hartford Convention.

We confess that we have enough of the "old leaven" (as our opponents would term it) about us yet, to make us rejoice that the tables are now turned upon those who have hunted us down, and for a series of years been taunting us with such epithets as "tory" and "disunionist."

Admit the Hartford Convention to have been all that is said of it, the impartial historian will record on the same page, as being equally base and black, the Disunion meeting of the South Carolina Delegation.

If the gentlemen to whom this letter is addressed be not callous, they must feel sensibly the home thrusts of the writer. He is dignified, yet severe—he speaks plainly, yet elegantly. We hope the editors of papers in South Carolina will not neglect an article, which may open the eyes of some of their readers.
