Taxpayer's Convention. President Porter was then conduoted to tho cliuir, and nddrosscd tbo Conveotion substantially as follows : Gentlemen or tub Convention : I thank you for the honor conferred upon inc. 1 am glad to sec around tnu so many t>( the good men and true, to whom South Carolina in her better days was glad to confide her honor, and who aro now as faithful as they ever have been. My only regret is, thi t tho occasion, is not more happy and plcamnt. . To* rebuke eorrup- , lion in High places, and to bo obliged to take measures to save ourselves from irretreivablc ruin, is a duty by no means pleapant. As it lias been placed upon us, let us discharge it manfully ami with fidelity. The lur driuieutal law of the State and the tJnited States secures to tlie ?oplc the lights? assemble peacablv, and to seek by all lawful iiioins redress for tbrir grievances. We arc assembled in such a manner and lor such a purpose. It is admitted by fair-minded men of all parties that there are great public grievances, and that by their presence, there has been called "into existence such a Convention as this? n Convention unprecedented in nil the hintory of the Stuto?a Convention to secure to ourselves a proper share in a representative government. We have no legislative power; wc aro simply an advisory body; but we can inquire and investigate; wo can collect an embody investigation; we c.in recommend to the people, who liavc conferred u;on us this tiust, such measures a? we deem necessary for their security in the future. Lot there be fairness and justice. If we "nothing cxtenua'e," let us sot down naught in malice. Tlio first great wrong is the increase in the public debt?an extraordinary in crease, us is admitted on all hands. The < peoplo o! the State aro entitled to know nnd must know the amount ol that d?b?. i They must know what is the actual as well < ns the contingent liability of tho State ol i South Carolina. That the application of i tho public moneys have been extravagant, ; wild and proflipute, admits of no doubt, it is without question ; nnd, perhaps, ncvor < in the history of a people was there nn in- i stance where this recklessness and profli- i pacy was moro shamelessly apparent. ( Corruption vaunts itselt in tho lipht ol i day. nnd assumes to Itself the parb of hon- ( esty. II these tittups uto not checked nnd i rebuked, tltey will result not only in dc- ( inorulization, but in bankruptcy nnd ruin. I Tho credit of the State is dearer to none than it is to us. It has been opr trudi- , tion tl policy to keep uml Imld the public < credit, not only unquestioned, but unsus- i pcctcd. We mean ot repudiation, but we do n can openly and in a solemn manner, : to pi^o notice tbat the public credit of i South Carolina has been strained to the ( most cxtreino point, and that whatever | obligations financiers take, they must take | them ut their own peril. Let ute admon- I ish you to the prudent nnd wise; to avoid i party polities. For every fair minded man < wiio is w1111ii10 put (iin seal ol disupprov- j a' on corruniion, or is willing to go with us in correcting abuses, wo have a weleom- \ ing hand. Those men arc our fiicnds, I nnd should be welcomed to our ranks, t Tlv lute war left this people almost ini- ? yioverished. Upon the issue of the war, ? one of the most valuable species ol prop- c crty?tnoro than one-half of what was < lett the people?was stricken out ut a blow. | Never were there a people on the face ol the earth who were more entitled to sytn- t puthy than tho people of South Carolina. ( In the name of that people, much abused, 1 ulmost ruined, I call upon you to brine I to your aid your noblest efforts ut this I time. Colonel Richard Lathers then addressed i tho Convention. Referring to Sterling t Fund hill, with which his name had been t connected referring to bis visit to Co- t lutnbia during the session of the Legisln- I ture, I came to Columbia with - a great i desire to do something for the bonds ol the State. This bill was then before the I House. I examined the hill, nnd saw that I although it might cost the St ti more than it should to negotiate the loan, that it was \ n good thing. I was so rejo:ccd to see i tliA Viri 'bf iiHwniinto "e ? " 1 ' ? .iic HI IIIIS | I bill, that I called upon the Governor, anil t made certain propositions to him. I pro- ; posed that a committee consisting of tlie l Governor of the State, 1 hi ring Brothers, of London, Brown Brothers, of New York, i mid Mr. G A Tronholm, of Charleston, should b appointed to negotiate the loan. The Governor accepted my proposition, nnd said it would be a great favor if 1 would remain over a day or two nnd od- 8 dresw two committee*. I proposed, then, ' that tho committee suggested by mo should hold over lor twenty years, the limit of 1 tho hill The great objection to the bill in its present form was. that no one knew ' the extent of the public debt of the State, ? and knew still lem about the men who were to make the negitiations for this f'tfod. In -irpport of his views, he read the protest of the members of the House and Senators against the passage of the hilt I j. I added: "What possible evidence rould we u^o flic snore strongly fo oppose 1 this ban?" Tho fire loan stock of I8d8. " was taken up und a comparison drawn between the pledge then made by the State Government and that to be made under the bill. The former had been violated, and tho moneys pledged had ' been appropriated for other purposes by tho present Legislature. He was smuicd "that thoeo scoundrels 8 on the other side. Who #cre denouncing ' this meeting, should dt> so merely in order to get more money for their own uses.'* He [ referred to the system of "shinning," and ' -J* ntcred into a lucid explanation of it. The Jtato Government hud been pursuing a sys* em of that kind for the past three years. Vccountsof corruption,etc .had gone North md tended to put down tho price of bonds, jjuuls had been purchased in large quanti. ics at enormous prices to givoaway to the avorites of the Government and tho State >ad been a loser to tho amount of 8600,000tle referred to certain tables which had ap~ icared thio morning in a "certain Radical ihcct," and excused the partial incorrcctie?s of his own tables, by asserting that it iras understood nt tbp iim? lm muln ?t.?m hat it was difficult to get ut the facts per eotly The other side had given them a nnss of figures at the lust moment, which ic thought, we>e "Gxed up." The assets ind all been marked up, and the liabilities ill marked down. The assets ol the State iad gone down from 819!),000,000 to $183, )00 000. nnd the liabilities were increased $2,000,000. The taxes wero increased nany hundred fold, lie closed by advising hut the committee hold over as a permanent body, if not "?n continu >us session, and rave notice that he would introduce a resilution to that effect. Such a body in ntemlunce at the seat of Government would nivo a salutary ciroct in chocking all uianucr of abuses. Col. J. I'. Thomas and lion. A. P.

Jiewlved, That wo look to time and to peaceful oponcies, only, for the solution of any difficulties that now exist, or in the administration ot the publio offices of this State; and we entertain the belief that all i the changes and modifications that may be desired in that connection can and will be effected by tiiequict influence of an -? - ?-? vuu^uiriicu puoitcopinion.

Resolved, That wo deprecate any and all local disturbances arising out of the ir ritation consequent upon the supposed mala Iministration of public affairs in the State, and wo appeal to the people to respect the laws and to look to them only for tho redress ot their grievances. Mr. F. F. Warlcy offered resolutions., tfcaT the Convention exhort the people of1 tho State to abstain fr m all acts ol violence, and to rely upon the law and other proper agencies for tlio redress of thoso grievances, ol which they justly complain ; that his Excellency the Governor having expressed a desire to appoint good men to office, it is but duo to liiiu that the citizens of each County should cooler with him fully in reference to the fitness of his appointees to office ; that we recommend to the dcodIo throui'hniii tlm fimt" I I O u,",vl ""?? out reference to poilical parties, to assem blc and petition the Legislature to repeal useless and obnoxious laws, ltufcrrcd to tho Executive Committee.

Whore the mucous incmbraues liavo been involved in any disease, turpentine was used advantageously, but the great remedy in bog cholera, on which 1 rely with implicit confidence, is cloruto of potash.
