Massachusetts And South Carolina
Mr. Hoar, the ogent of Maseachusetls, who vas expelled from Charleston, has made a minute report of his mission to the Governor of Massachusetts. It appeared that Mr. Hoar entered immediately on his work on his arrival in Charleston, and as the sheriff had no colored citizens of Massachusetts then in custody, Mr. H. proposed to him to make up n case which ehould bring the principies at ssue before the U. S. Suprcme Court. To this the Sheriff agreed: but after couneelling wilh distinguished individuals, he rcfused to do Ãt. Intimations of a design to drive Mr. H. from thé city were soon given : and the keeper of the hotel applied to the city authorities to remove hitn lest the hotel should be attacked by a mob. Finally, he was waiu ed on by a number of gentlemen with carriage?, and informed that if he would not voluntarily go for the peaceof the city, he must go otherwise. Finding that he would probably be put into the carriage nnl conveyed to the steamboat by f orce, if he did not accede voluntanly, he entered the carriage with his daughter, and was taken to the boat. So far as Mr. H. acted at all, he seems to have fulfilled his mission with firmness and energy. But, in our judgment, he should have staid in the city until compelled to leave by force.- He was an American cjtizen, on Jawful businesF, and he should have yielded the exercise of his rights only to absolute necessity.
