Addrei* of the True Republicans. To the People of South Car olina : On the 16th day of October next, you will be called on to elect tho various men who shall fill the various offices in the State Government ior the next official term. The condition of the affairs of the State at this time causes the gravest concern and most serious anxiety in tho minds of all good citizens. Taxation unprecedented in amount in the history of this State weighs upon the people.? JNo roan but feels tho burden ; but however and by whatever channels the taxes reach the Treasury, they corao finally, in great part, from those who till the 6oil, in the form oi reduced wages, and the increased cost ot food, clothing aud other necessary expenses ot a comfortable existence. The hard hand of toil largely pays tho expenses of the State, though the money may be deposited in the Treasury by those who own tho capital and the land. Let no man flatter himself, therefore, that his poverty renders this subject of taxation one of indifference to him. Besides the vast 6nms which have been drawn from the people by direct taxation, our rulers havo been heaping other burdens upon us and our posterity, by enormous, and in many cases fraudulent, issues of bonds, the very interest upon which is a sum so large that it seems impossible to pay it. Concealment of the real state of our affairs has been practiced to a criminal extent; report after report, statement after statement, Jhas been made by the finan cial omcers ot the btate, making false exhibits of onr public debtand it was only when an outraged public opinion demanded and compelled an investigation, that, our real situation was developed, and was found to justify the worst apprehensions which had been felt. The public mind is too familiar with the tacts to require more to be said concerning the bond frauds; but it is worth while to consider here the question, what has become of the money so lavishly poured into the Treasury ? To what objects have we 6een it appropriated by those who, under the law, are appointed to disburse it? Dave the rights of person and property, which it is the special function of good government to guard, been secured ? Have the children of the people been furnished with the means of that education which alone can fit them worthily to perform mean ties of citizenship# Have the humane institutions in charge of the Slate been cared for ? Ilave the resources of the State been developed, its industries fostered, its present and future welwaro provided for with reasonable prudence ? The answers to these questions are in the mouths of all the people. We are ashamed to be compelled to confess that the State Government has failed to protect the citizens, not only in tho enjoyment of those rights and privileges intended to be secured by the provisions of the State and National Constitutions, hut even in 'hose more .limited rights which no respectable civilized Government on earth allows to be violated in the persons of its subjects ; and it has been tho strong arm of tho Federal Government which has released thousands of men, women and children fiom a a.m/ih mitli ttt 1 >!/>11 ihov pah 1h na! fail to l>c filled by count lees outrages perpetrated upon their friends, relatives and neighbors, by conspirators, whose deeds the world reads of with horror. The public schools have been ; crippled iti their work, and in many cases closed, becauoe their i, teachers applied in rata at the State Treasury Tor the small salaries justly due them end necessary to their daily support. .The inmates of the Lunatic Asylum most have been turned loose upon the community, but for the humane efforts ot its efficient Superintendent, who pieced his private credit to ontain food; nobody would sell on that of this great State. The doors of the penitentiary may be flong wide open any day, to allow the exist ot a Dana or convicts, whom tbe warden cannot feed, because there is no money in the State Treasury to purchase food. The judges of your courts have not been paid their salaries for many mouths, and are compelled, in most cases, to borrow money to supply the wants of themselves and their families, and to be subjected to the temptations too otten placed by rich suitors before a judiciary irregularly or inadequately paid. It would be easy to continue at almost any length in enumerating what has been left nndoue which ought to have been done.? It is easier to eay what has been done which ought to have been left undone. Jobs of every conceivable description have been uuutu inikvi!) tuo unci uois ui niu State bave been constantly and systematically set aside to enrich those who scrupled at no kind of bribery or corruption to secure such legislation as the jobbers required. Public money hoa been eqnan- ' dered for objects of no public ( moment. The expenses ot some < branches of the Government have been so enormously increased as to astonish all who are not fainilliar with the character of many of those who fill important posi tions in the State Government. 41 Pay certiOcates," drawn by the Speaker of the House of Rep- | resentatives, purporting to be for i expenses of the late session, to the amount ot over $1,000,000, have already appeared at the Treasury and been paid or exchanged for the notes ot the Treasurer, and it is estimated by those in a position to judge wisely, that $250,000 in 44 pay certificates " is still afloat in the community, to he presented whenever there is any probability ot their being allowed. This will make the expenses of a single session of the General Assembly over ?1,250,000, or more than 4,000 per cent, of the aura which was formerly considered sufficient to pay there. Enormous soma have been lavished in petended support ot an " armed force," which is notoriously nonexistent. The most corrupt practices have obtained in the making of contracts by State officials. The contract with the Roberts and other arms companies of New York, under which there was drawn from the State Treasury over $200,000, while said arms company received less than $90,000, is a type of the manner iu which the State Treasury has been depleted. The public are familiar with the enormous extent of the bills for State printing. Formerly this item of expense for a session of the Legislature was not one-fiftieth, certainly not one fortieth, of what it has been daring the year past. But to catalogue the abuses existing in the executive and legislative branches of the State Government, would not only weary our patience and sicken your hearts, but one who should attempt to characterize them would beggar the English language in looking for fit terms, j Yon already know them in gross You can hardly appeeiate their j enormity in detail till you exam- ] ine the facts and figures. We nl- , ludc to but a few of them as spec- ( imens of the kiod of expenses that have brought the credit of . South Carolina so low that there is u none so poor to do it reverence," and which have made the government of the State so odious ' to the people of the whole conn try. In this condition of affairs, what is the duty of the Republican party ? These wrongs are in , no way the results of the action of its principles They arise from , .1 ' j L J \* i ?J mo ^reea, ana 8ein8;.'"w>?, ??u cor- i ruption of those who haf?? stolen j the- garb of Repnblicanism to cloak their evil deeds, and who , should be cast out of the compa- j ny of honest Republicans and | honest men, as having degradod j their high calling. Our plain duty points to this: f our obvious interests demand , this ; the interests of the State de- , mand it; a decent regard for the ] opinions of mankind demands it. , wo must put forward for official | position those, and those only, < who Are known as upright, true j and unstained men, whose Rcpub- j licauism Is aa undonbted as their , integrity and their capacity to j perform the functions of the offi?? | ces for which they are nominated, j Within the lines of the Republican party our work lies. There are honest hearts and wise heads 1 enough in that party to do our i work. Every good citizen, what | ever his party affiliations may j have been, owes it to himself to work to purify and regenerate our \ State Government; but the work especially belongs to us. We can* I not abandon it to oar political adversaries, until we have demonstrated oar inability to do it onr* selves. With this necessity upon us; in an emergency more exigent than has existed in the history of oar party in 8onth Carolina; with the eyes of the National Republi can partg upon as. and expecting us to rise to the demands of the occasion, like honest men, the Convention now in session in this oity lias placed in nomination, as a candidate for Qovernor, the one man whose ofitoi&I acts have brought upon the State, and the positions no nas neia, more ensgrace than has attached to any other offices of the State Government. Mr. F. J. Moses, Jr., was the person who, as Adjutant and Inspector-General, made the con tract with the Roberts Arms Company. We do not know that he received any part of the $114,000 which disappeared in its transit from the office of the Financial Agent of the State of Sonth Carolina, in New 1 ork, to the office of the Roberts Arms Company ; but we do know that it disappeared. The Financial Agent'* books show that it. was paid ; the arms comDanv's books show that they did not receive it. Mr. F. J. Moses, Jr., was the Eerson who, as Speaker of the louse of Representatives, flooded the State with a shower of " pay certificates," and swelled tire expenses ot that House, tor a single session, from $145,000, (the highest possible figure to which they could amount legitimately, and this is based 011 most extravagant calculations,) to quite, or over, a million dollars. And this pal pa ble violation of law, tbi6 direct filching from the Treasury, is neither denied by him nor his friends, but is excused on the grouud that he disposed of a large amount of these certificates in tavor of the poor people who fled from the persecutions of the Ku Klux Klan. Was candidate ever before driven to straits like this ? A false certificate, a fraudulent and unlawful draft of public money from the public Treasury acknowledged, and the act defended on the ground that the money was disposed of in charity ! Yet even this infamous excuse is wanting, when we know that not one per cent, of these unlawtully issued, certificates was thus disposed of, and when we daily observe the style of living this candidate holds?a style befitting a proflirvQto r??ill I.-Vi. nl nn. I v luuuuiiaiiU) UUt mi jJUCOIUie IU an honest man, with the legitimate income of a Speaker of the House and an Adjutant and InspectorGeneral. We do not attempt to explain the entry of $11,000 against the " armed force " appropriation, paid to Mr. F. J. Moses, Jr.; but the known character of the Speaker of the House, and his career in that office, awaken a suspicion very well defined, which he has not only failed to clear up, but has allowed the matter to go unexplained, though for many days it has been commented on by the newspapers, and though it would seem to be all-important that ho should explain it to those whose suffrages he was aolieltinw. ?_? - o* We are straight Republicans; none will go farther than we in any path of duty or honor, to servo the interests of the Republican party. The cause of the Republican party is dear, unspeakably dear, to u%; its principle of the equality of all men be fore the law is that particular jewel which outshines, with us, every brilliant in its casket. But honesty in office, capacity in admiration, fidelity to public trusts, are principles- which cannot be ignored by true Republicans; and we cannot endorse the action of a Convention which ignored them all in its selection ot a candidate for the hiahftftt Rra.t? n ? ? ?V| "v " ever i% regular " that Convention may be. We have, therefore, joined in a movement for the nomination of an independent, true Republican ticket; a ticket containing the names of men whose fidelity to the dictates of honesty and duty is as well known as their zeal in the cause of true Republicanism. They are firm supporters of the nomination of Grrant and Wilson, and of the great measures of the national Republican party which has placid (hem in nomination, while they Eidd to their character for integrity, superior capacity and ardent patriotism. We appeal to the voters of the State of South Carolina to support them, kuowing that their alection will give us a wise, honest, energetic administration :>f the State Government, aud that they will, regardless of their private interests, or the private interests of any set of men, make it their bnsiness to repair, to the axtent of their ability, the inju* ries the body politic has suffered by waste, extravagance, fraud and incompetency. Now is the accepted time to rouse yourselves and throw off the incubus which baa lain, worse than a nightmare, upon our State; and will be tenfold increased io its horrors should Mr. F. J. Moses, Jr., be seated in the executive chair. Refuse to avail your solves of this opportunity, and ere many months have pasted over our beads, dire disaster, without' a parallel even in our disastrous ex? perieuce, may be confidently anticipated.
