South Carolina redefines treason, to be punished with "death without benefit of clergy"

With excitement mounting in Charleston, the South Carolina Convention passed an ordinance additionally defining treason against the state as "levying war against the State, adhering to its enemies and giving them aid and comfort."  Punishment was ordained as "death without benefit of clergy." (By John Osborne)

Alabama's secession commissioner warns Delaware of slave insurrection under Republican rule

U.S. Congressman David Clopton, one of the secession commissioners from Alabama, visited Dover to speak with Governor William Burton.  He sought Delaware's support as a fellow slave state, stating that "a hitherto contented servile population" were going to be stirred to insurrection and that the Republican Party wanted "an equality of races in our midst." Two days later the governor and the state legislature voted overwhelmingly to remain in the Union. (By John Osborne)
