But a beg you to be assured that it 3 anpreciated and that it will b 4 gratefullv remembered with a liv mrig interest in your prosperit; whi*e life remains to me, and, trust, beyond that by my childrei L after me. - If this nane has become note among the many that are woi I thier around vou, that is great]: f due to its publicity. May I b permitted to state whence tha came? Until within a few cer turies all the civilized nation of the globe were pent up on th > Eastern continent. Two or thre - hundred years ago they leake - over into this ; few and fearfull; rat first, then more and more bu - always in their settlements tirr idly hugging the Atlantic coasi Within the last two or three get erations, they have burst out, a it were, and over-run these vas continents of the West. Non t they are scattered here and po, I sess thee measureless stretches c I mountains and valleys, hills. plaine r forests and prairies with II 1 boundless pampas and monintai .ranges of .South America. Forme generations lived in villages an I towns, thickly settled togethe j where physicians were plenty an - rear at hand. .Now, the peopl t are widely scattered, in many se< tions of.these many countries. t For great numbers the time! treatment of physicians cannot 1 - Ihad ; over large tracts of countr I good or competent physiciansca not be had at all. They canr visit patients enough many mile apart to live by their protlessior nor can they carry medicinc enough with them on horsebac t for their requiremnents. Iene s has ta risen in these modern time I aL 1eCe4ity for remedies ready i , hand, with directions for their us -a present recourse for relief i i the exigencies of sickness, whe 11o otlier aid is near. It im a nei - fecessity consequent upon th ...hbanred~( conditions of human lif --a want I have spemnt my year in .supiplyinig, and I will tell yo t sonethin. of its extent. Our le iratory inakes every day soni~ 630,000 portions or doses of on ,preparations. These are all t akel by somebody. IIere is a numbhe equal to the population of fifteel r cities as large as Lowell, takirn . them every day (for sicknes i keeps no Sabbaths) nor for one - only, but again and again yea :after year, through nearly onc t!:ird of a century. We all join i F the jokes about medicines as w~ Sdo about the Doctor's mission ti kill, tne clergyman's insincerit: ,and the lawyer's cheating.

An adlvertise zment, takinm~g the run1 of tile news Spapers with which wve contrae ;(some 1900 annuially) is struck 01 :in such unumbers, that wh'len pile iupon each other fiatwise, like th leaves of a book, the thiicknes , through them is sixteen miles. Ii addition, it takes some seven miu lions of pamphlets arid twelve miu lions of circulars to meet the pubi lic demand for this kind of infor mation. Our annual issue u pamphlets alone, laid solid upoi ch other, make a pile eight anm one quarter miles high. T he cir enlars measured endwise rear! 1694 miles, and these assertion: are matters of mathematicalI cer - tainty. Whatever thle est imatiel in which these pubalient ions ma.' be held here, they reatch the firec sides of millions upon millions oi men who do treasure arid regar< -them, and wvho in their trials d< r heed the counsel they bring. .Not only over these great West ierni continents but throughiou that other land so little known t' you, under our feet. the Austral ian continent, there are few vil lages as large as this which arn n t familiar with the name yol have chosen, and employing th< r remedies that bear it.

If your ob - ject is to establish a despotism in 7 the State, and force .ie wealth [ and intelligence-of the people to i submission, under the rule of ig. norance, oppression and rascality, I thei your course may seem a sate .1nd judicious one.

EDITOR: The eontinned im. portunities of friends, who att ach more value to my views than .hey are entitled to, make me ask a space in your columns. While I sutgest a remedy for our present grievances, I must say I have little hope that those who now have the power in their hands will ever 'willingly submit to its least abatement. I look, ra ther, for relief in the overthrow \f the national R:.dical party, to which the enormities practiced in this State .are in no small degree contributin. As to the double tax proposed to be collected in November, I would say resist it in every cay short of actual rebellion. T he wh ,le difficulty, though, may be removed by tb authorities requiring no tax to be collected in November, 1871, a half tax in March, 1872, and then a whole tax in November, 1872. In such an arrangement we ought to acquiesce. This dis poses of an exec tional grievance of great magnitnde. But there are others of a nermanent nature and of greater imnortance, the ex istence of which precludes the idea of pe.-ce, law and order, as long as the blood of the Anglo Saxon or Cavalier courses throigh our reins. I refer to the monstrous system of election frauds practiced upon us, the wholesale robbery of ourproperty under the guise of tax ation, and the squandering of the money raised by taxation for pur poses other than the wants of ai honest government. These wrongs cannot be remedied by a change of the qualifications of voters or of office holders, nor by a change of our present system of representa tion. A conclusive reason is that these changes cannot be made ; nor will the party in power ever cor sent that we shall have a m:jority in the Senate. which confirms ap poinitments by the Governor, or in the House, the majority ( f which determines the felection of United States Senators and Judges. All we ask, with any expecta tion of our request being complied with, is to have a checkootoer upon taxation and appropr:ations given us. This can be done by the Coi stitition being so amended as: 1. To require four managers of elections at each election precinct, two of whom are to be chosen by each political party in the Contin ties; to have the votes counted as soon as the polls are closed, and i he result:, aggregated the second day after, by two from each box. (one from caeh political party,) as sembling at the County seats. 2. To require for the passage of every bi!l i mnposing taxes assessing the value of property for taxation. borrowinig money or raising rev enue in any way, and of every bill making ap)propriations, crea ting any debt or liability, or lend ing the faith andI credit of the State in any way. it to receive the vote of three-fourths of the mtm bnlers of each house, the same to be as eertatined by a vote by yeas and nays, made of record on the jour nals of each house. 3. To provide that upon the adoption of the t wo foregoing amendments, all Acts, and pa-ts of Acts, relating to the assessment of property-, for taxation, the imuposi tion of' taxes, anid providing for elections b': the people. shali cease and be no longer of force, upon the irst meeting of the General As wembilAy thereafter held ; and that all Acts and parts of Acets, relatingz to the afor saiud subijects, passed by any General Assemibly next elected. This is awking as little of'the R epl)Iicani paLrty as w ill ensure us relief from the enormities w: are nowv suffering. ]:-q t hese amendmifents no rgh or privilege no posee by our colored eit izens would ini the least lie im pai redl; wvhi le thaei r real itnterests would he p)romoated. Is there eunoiigh justice in the Ra-puilican party to graint us thle protect ionm w hich these - aimieiidments wvould afford ? A nd have our colored cit. izenis the good sense to aequiesce ini a proposition so reasonable and nmoderate ? J A MES II. R ION. WINNsnoRo, S. C., A pril I1,1871.
