The Constilution fair the T.-x UnSon01P;i aaJ Reeam - mended by the Tax-Pavers' Convention. FF.Low-CITzENs: The Executive Commit tee of the Tax-Payers' Con vention. T-n pur-ualnce of the duty with which they were eharged, herewith present to you a plan for the org:muliza tion of the Tax Unions throu,_,hout the State. The object of this organi zation is to put into effective operation all lawful means within our reach for the re-estabrishient of an honest and economical admini:tration of govern. ment in South Carolina. The committee do zt deem it ne cessary to argue with you upon the urgency of the occasion. or the neces Lity of reform. The burdens to which we are subjected are greater than we can bear, and the proof i, to be found in the fact that the hou.'s and lands of the proprietary class are being for-. feited to the State, in quantity and -,-,*number without a parallel, from sheer inability to pay the taxes. There can be no stronger or more distressing proof of oppressio-i than the systematic confiscation by the government of the property of the citizen for non-pay ment of dues too excessive to be borne. But when the moneys, extorted from the people under color of law, are also systematically and shamelessly squan dered, plundered and stolen, another and more grievous wrong is added to the eat4.logue of enormities, and the very acme of the most vulgar form of despotic rule is reached. Such - vernment forfeits all title to the name, and is no better than organized spolia tion and robbery. It would be a slan der and a stigma upon you to suppose that you will suffer this state of things, so destructive and ignominious, to continue., without exhausting every possible human effort to put an end to it. Your history, your traditions and your personal manhood forbid it; there is no need of reasonitg about it-if you be true toyourselves; your instincts will all impel you in this direction; nor can you hope to redeem yourselves, *ithout helping yourselves. Self-help will bring you all other help. We cannot believe that there are not good men enough of all parties in the State to rescue the goverument from the men that are brining ruin and disgrace upon you, and to restore it to some thing of its former respectability. To this end activity, read earnest purpose, devotion to the cause and thorough organization are necessary. The Tax Unious will furnish the form of organ ization, but you must breathe into it the breath of life, and make it a living, active. efficient and pervading instru mentality for good. Especially should our young men devote themselves to this work. The future,. its hope and destinies, are all theirs. If they do not try to shape'it, there will be un told miseries in reserve for them-not only ruin, but shame and remorse, sure and perhaps too late. It is upon themi that the blame will rest, for it is now their time to come to the front in -this struggle under the law, as before they camne to the front in the more dreadful issue of war. The samec spirit and courage that stood them in stead then, will stanad them in stead now. Their cause will enlist the symt pathies of all good men throughout the country. To put dishonesty to flight, to purge corruption, to, rescue the ood conmmonwealth fi-on the hands" of those who have made her nawue a by-word and reproach every where, is a work well worthy of anj earnest, concerted and per-severing ef fort; and if it be undei taken in the proper- spirit. and with a zeal and enjergy proportioned to the cxigencies in which we are placed, it musct and will be successfu!. In conclusion, we beg to commend to vaur ear nest, sober and faithful consideration these words of wise.pa triotie counsel, from the address of their conventi&u to the people of South C'arolina: Let the hotnest and well meaning citizens, one by one, be brought into the Tax-Payars' Union, and mxade to work for the cause of good government, until the State is redeemed. The eclat that attends the cla.4h of armas is wanting t-> such a str'i,ule. but no cause can be more .vortlhv of the earnest, faithful and pa riez.t ~jahor of one who loves his peo ple and his State. A triumph like this is not to be won by a single decisive hattle, nor, it may be, by many toil some campaigns, but paticnt. enadur in:i and houest worh, sooner or later. wvill bring victory to your standards. No laurel wreaths may crown the victor's brow, but a ransomed and re deemied C'arolina, a free, prosperous and happy people, will attest to future geuerations that. worthy of your an cestry, and true as they to duty andl honor, you have taken up the fight in the da~rkest hour of adversity, and faithfully and successfully fought it out to victory. We conjure you, then, at once to organize, compact and work uin the Tax-Payers' Union, until youl anchor the State safe in the harbor of assured peace and prosperity. JAMES CHESN T.
