March 15, 1861; The Charleston Mercury
There was quite a rush for THE MERCURY yesterday morning, containing the first copy of the Permanent Constitution published in Charleston. For this opportunity of placing so important a document before the public in advance of all other papers in the city, we are indebted to the Montgomery Advertiser of Monday afternoon, containing the Constitution, and which reached us by mail in advance of the copies forwarded by our attentive special correspondents in Montgomery.
