Editor8 Columb7a Register The proclamation of Governor Chamberlain comes like a clap of thunder out of a clear sky. This proclam!ation in effect delare the countios of Aiken and Barnwoll to bo in insurrection ; that the ex istin'g riflo and siabro clubs are ille gal organizationis ; that if they are not disbanded in three (lays, lie will 8uspend tho writ of habeas corpus, call out the negrco militia to enforce his ordos, and, if that fails, he will call on Ordnat and the United Statcs army 4w- to carry his oloetiont. This is the plain Englit h of the proclamvation. In England it is a grave offense for tihe goverinnent anthorities, either military or civil, t! interfere With the electioIns ; an1d iH it possi ble that here, where we boast of otir freedom, an election is to be carried by the governmen1111 t by netual forco ? Tho rifle and salbirO cluIb are or gantizationls to protect our hoisos, families, lives and the negroes wlo affiliato with is. All the militia are Itopulicans, and nearly overy man and officer a negro. All are hostile to.the white Deloerats. The (ov ernor has, oil sundry oflsions, <de clared his inability t ) onforeo ie laws against the negroes of Comba hoo and other poinlts. If our organi izationts arc. disarmed our lives and property tre in inmninent peril. In order to allow only ltdills to form imilitrty org'alizittionis, the law was passeil making it a peniten tiary offense fr so li 0uch g mizationts to he formed wit ont the acceptance and consent of the Governor. He will not aceept any white orgitniza tion. This law is clearly une'onsti tutional. Our State constitut ion is explicit upon1 this poilit. Article I, section 28, provides : "Th1o people have a right to keep and hea1r~ arms for the coillmon defolels." ii Thu e.% pression to "bear r r:ns" has its we.1 known legal mneaning uas referriing to military exercises mtot trVainintg. Thius definu it in is vir uidl givenl in person01 who coniscuintiouisly srpe to bear armas shazll lbe emnpopl led so to do, but lhe shall pa~y an eqiuvalent for personal serv*il-.."
