THE MASS MEETING. We doom it entirely unneces sary to urgo upon the tax payers and other citizens of Fairfield th6 diuty and the imp6rt ance of a general attendance upon the mass meeting which takes place at Winnsboro on Monday, January 1, 1817. The cieconstances which have induded the call for' the meet ing arb familiar td us all. Tbo usurpation in Columbia-the pre, tondert law-making of the Bayonet Logislature-the illegal inaugura tion f Chamnberlain in an ofdce to which lie was not olectAeol-th e course 6f the RAdical ring in utter de fiance of the Supreme Court of the' State-the schemes of .the Riunp for wringing money out of the poo ple-these, on the one hand, are the matters which call 'for deliberation and action on the part of those who defire the peace and welfare of South Carolina. On the other hand is Hampton, with those who sustain him, stwuding by the law, standing on their rights, and awaiting th'e time when might -hall not prevail over right, nor the power of the bayonet over the mandates of the constitulion. The Hampton govern mnt milst bo supported, and the C iuberlain usurpation most be denounced and resisted to the last! In these two propositions are em bodied our highest conception of the people's duty' in the yresent crisis. In order to a proper per fonnanco of that "duty,' there' is ncessary a unanimity of action such as to show that the people are just as much one now ax tiey were when they wore working in the canvass for Hampton and Reformu. The people must come to an under standing among themselves, and tie Hainpton Government niust know at 6neo 'whore it stands -and how far it will be sustained. The tax. payofs should speak out at one in mass meetingsm, and Fairfield should not be sloiv to let her voice heard. Every taxpayer, and every citizen, in Fairfield, who wishes well for South Carolina, should attend the meeting on Monday next. With a viewv to allow the employ een of Tna NEWS AfD HERALD at least a short Christmas holiday, we issue this week a half sheet only..: Be sure to read, and read care fully, the articles in the local de partament of this issueo, headed re spectively "To Delinquents," and "A T1ri-Weekly Edition."~ No reasonable mamn cnn object to his Paper being cut off when his subscription is ont-any more i~ihan ho can expect to get goods from a tradesman free of cost.

There have been no important developments during the past week. The Logislature has adjoin nod sine die. The Constitutional House adopted a series of resolu tions calling on the people to sup port, by contributions, the Conisti tutionil Government uitil such time as the whole governental ma chinery shall be in good running order. It is proposedI that a tax be paid anouting to one-folr-th of t!:c tax of Let year. A ppointmzuents will be made by Governxor Hlampton as soon as practicablo. - A case of great interest to the conservative peoplo of the Siate was heaid by Judge Carpenter on Tuesday last. Chamberlain umder took to pardon two convicts confined in the State penitentiary, but the superintendent of that in stitution, in view of the grave doubt attending the legality of Chamberlain's tenure,declined to difscharge the prisoners. They w(onc taken before Judge Carpenter on habeas corpus. The Judge express ed the opinion that the cose involved a decision of the gu bornatorial question. His decision Will be awaited with deep inteo est. There were many rumors of a contemplated compromise between the two parties, but they seem not to be based on anything positive. Chamberlain repudiatea the idea of such a thing. The Congressional commnittees aro still in session. PoruLAnmT.-It is a Plf evidCrt fact that unless a peorlson po.ases sterling worth lie will not -haN tb esteem of- his follow men. I, is true, that for a time he may deceive. but eventually his fauults will be exposed. This is applicable also to iurticl recommended to the confidence of purchasers. For a )rief peiiod, by false commendations and glittering exterior, they impore on the peole. but as soon as toted they al e easti aside. The test of ten yeers hae proven the intrmaic wortli of Dy. PT'S HAlm DYE, and to (lay no pr0. paration enjoys greater pop-ulrity. From year to year the demand for it has increased, and now it is in general use both in this and foreign countries. No stronger proof of its value could be given. * A Tr-Wokly liution. Ever since the suspension, b~y the present managers of this paper, of thme Tri- Wceekly? Neres, there have been requests made, with more or less urgency, for a rev'ival of that pa per. The reason s wh ich in 'huced tihe disi 'onltinu -nee of tihe Tri-w;e:i dy were both stAung anid umerous, and they are still so. But the p~ro prietors of THE AEWs AND HERIAJr are quite willing to revive the issue of a paper which, always popular, seems to have become more thanu' ever a desideratu~m since it ceased to pay its tri-weekly visits. In re sponse to a desire that seems to have, become almiost universal in Winnsboro, thme pub]lishers p~urpose to issue, at an early dlay, a tri-weekly edition of THE NEWs AND HE.LD. In order to do this, they must he sure of a circulation-among pai up subscribers-su flcien tly large to secure them against loss. They therefore request such of the old subscribers to the Tr-i- W eely .Neaoa as desire to subscribe now to give notice at once, accompanying that notice with the amount of sub scription in cash. The p ice of the paper will be as before--$4.00 peor annum. For a club of ten sub scribers at that rate, the paper will be sent to the club-maker, or such other person as may be designated, free for one year. The publlisheors are 'also prepar-ed to offer a liberal commission, in cash, on subscrip tions collected. To Delinquents. In sending out the last issue of THnE NEWs AND HERALD, we dropped from the list of those heretofore re ceiving the paper a numiber whose subseriptions had not boon paid. Ti bia was not done without repeated notice. We have taken occasion tirne and again to state that our terms of subscription are cash in advance, and have given ample time for those to pay their subeceriptions who desired so to do. It is scarce ly necessary to state the causes leading us to this action. It is enough to say that everything re quired in the conduct of a newspa per mnust be paid for in ready money. Printers must live, and to that end it isi reasonable to sup~pose that they need money. The mate rial need can be purchased for ce h ouily, and all incidental expen1.es zpust be met promptly. These things have all to be paid for, and o'n Moid proprietors and editors efuono, inbd look gleefully to th6 time when subscribors would all come up and pay, yet there must be somothing for ordinaiy expenmse. To be brief: ether nowspaperien. ally ho blo0 and willing to fur'i-3h a pape:v oh oitodit-long or short is the C:+ o m1y ho ; the present pro priotors of 1'Tim NEw' AND HuAnm are tot able, howver willing.
