Death of Hon. Robert Monell
We are seldom called upon to chronicle the loss on one who, through a long life, was so universally beloved and respected, who had so many and warm friends and so few enemies, as the Hon. Robert Monell. His death, although it did not take place until the end of a long and well spent life and in the fullness of years, has yet left a void in this community which time only can fill.
The Hon. Robert Monell was a native of Columbia county in this State [NY]. He was bred to the profession of the Law, and in 1808 established an office in Binghamton [Broome Co., NY], where he remained till 1811, when he became a resident of the village of Greene [Chenango Co., NY], and was soon appointed successor to Elisha Smith, as the local agent of the Hornby estate. He discharged its duties in connection with those of an advocate until 1819, when he resigned it to other hands.
Judge Monell made himself eminently useful to his fellow men in the early settlement of the county. He was elected to the Legislature in 1813, the first of his townsmen that received that honor. In that body in the dark hours of 1814, he faithfully performed his duty in sustaining the efforts of Gov. Tompkins in upholding the arms of the national administration in its conflict with Great Britain. In 1818, Mr. M. was elected to Congress from the District composed of Otsego and Chenango. Such was the character of his personal popularity at tat time, that not withstanding a strong party organization was opposed to him, there was but one vote against him in his own town. In 1825, 27, and 28 he represented the county in the legislature of the State. In 1828 he was returned to Congress by his district, and at the termination of its duties in 1831, was appointed by the Governor and Senate, Circuit Judge for the 6th Judicial District of this State. This arduous and responsible post he held for fourteen years. 1845 he accepted the appointment of Clerk of the Supreme Court, and was located at Geneva until the adoption of the new Constitution on 1847, when he returned to his home in Greene. Here he continued to reside until the period of his death. Chenango American.

South Carolina Seceded
The South Carolina State Convention met at Columbia on Monday. Mr. Jamison was elected President, and then the body adjourned to Charleston, because of the prevalence of small pox in Columbia. The State Legislature immediately followed the example of the Convention, by adjourning to Charleston Mr Jamison, on taking the chair, said we are engaged on a great subject, and a most important matter. God knows what the result may be. That it may turn out for the glory of South Carolina is my fervent wish and last prayer. May God help the State....We give the following summary of its proceedings:
Mr. Memminger introduced a resolution for the appointment of a Committee of seven members to draft a summary statement of the causes justifying South Carolina in withdrawing from the Union....
Mr. Inglis report the following ordinances: We, the people of Carolina, in Convention assembled, do declare and ordain that the Ordinance adopted by us in Convention, May 23, 1778, whereby the Constitution of the United States was ratified, and all sets and parts of acts of the General Assembly of the State ratifying amendments to said Constitution, are hereby repealed, and The Union now subsisting between South Carolina and other States under the name of the united States of America is hereby dissolved. The Ordinance was passed unanimously, by 165 members. The news spread rapidly, and a crowd collected and cheered immensely.
