FOR PRESIDENT,
HORATIO SEYMOUR.
OP NEW YORK.
FOR YTCE-PltESIDENT.
FRANCIS P. BLAIR,
OF MISSOURI.
Look Out for the Taxes..
Tho now 8tato Government Is bankrupt.
Tho scallawags and oarpot baggers at Colum
bia aro fast running tho mnohino of thoir own
construction, to ruin. Thoir so-called Govern
or, Scott, with the faith arid .credit of Now
.South Carolina pledged by the so-called Lcgis
laturo, and with their authority to effect u
loan of 0500,000, cannot raise 825,000, ovon
at a discount of sixty cents on the dollar.
Tho Radicals in the Stato have no money;
a&4 Radical capitalists abroad are not willing
to run tho risk.
This means of raising fundB having fnilod
tho uoxt etopHnkon . by tho Legislature is to
vote themselves''pay in Rills Receivable at the
rate of seventy couts on tho dollar. They do
this, in utter disregard of tho Constitution of.
thoir own framing, which provides that the
Legislatures shall not bo empowered to increase
their oWn compensation, during thoir term of
office. This, of course, makes no difference to
tho members of that hybrid body : but it does
make a great difference to the Treasury of the
Stato. We are glad, therefore,. to announce,^
Chat this net of monstrous and corrupt legisla
tion IB having its legitimate effect. Wo loaru
by our exchanges that tho mccrhants in Colum
bia are refusing to tako the Rills Receivable ;
and wo have no doubt, in a week a two, they
will become as uncurrcut as Confederate
money.
This being tho case, the Legislature will be
driven to its last resource,?the taxation of
the WHITE PEOPLE of tho State. Wo
fiay the whito people, because, tho new consti
tution providos.that negroes, who uro not pro
perty-holders, shall never bo taxed more than
a dollar apiece, and thou only for the purpose
, of ostabliHhiug schools.
Tho question is, whether this mode of rais
ing money will ho any more succc^sj{j^f: than
tho two plane nbovo ulluded to, which have so
fligaally failed ? Wo think not. The great
doctrine of a popular government is, "NO
TAXATION, WITHOUT REPRESENTA
TION;" and in our present State orgauiza
tioa, tho CAPITAL of the couutry baa no
voice, and should not, therefore, bo burdonod
with its support. Wlion wo pay taxes, we do so
for our protection and benefit; but we aro ut
tuoly unwilling to do so, for the protection und
bonofit of our enemies. We uro not willing to
support a government, which legislates against
our property ; and is an engine, which is be
ing used entirely for our destruction. Wo
?will not furnish "a stick to break our own
heads."
If tho groat mass of the property-holdors of
(he Stato will, with ono accord, tighten their
pursc-Btriiigs, und refuso to put uny good mon
ey into the hauda of tho oarpet-bag crow, the
great power which holds thorn together will
to destroyod, With tho departuro of the hopo
of plunder, the carpet bags of political adven
turers will bo as soarco in tho land, as inus
quitoca at a Christmas Dinner.
" Wo make thoso remarks, because the Colum
bia Radicals aro hurrying a Tax Bill through
both houses, at telegraph speed, which will
znako tho burden of taxation at least THREE
TIMES as heavy as it has over boon iu South
Carolina. Wo viow their courso with cousid*
erablo interest; but we don't boo uny monoy
in that speculation. We t hink it likely that
tho Uuion Leaguers will havo to raise a bi
subscription to pay the fare of their Senators
and Representatives back home, at the tLsc
of tho present farce. Let them play out
thoir low comedy : soon the days of mouutu
bauka will pass away ; and actors will Appear
upon tho stage, to redeem tho character of the
.State, repudiate the base fabrications of these
ovil times, and act uoblo partB in the political
drama.

Conservative Soldiers and Sailors.?
The regular wcokly meeting of tho Soldior's
nnd Sailor's Conservative Voteran Association
of Kings County, was hold List evening at
jDoniooratic Headquarters, ?Court street. The
President, Oonural E. A. Koslay, occupied the
chair, ami. Captain 1 Logan, anted as Secretary.
Wcfiud also, iu the Bauic iutcrcstint? jouru
nl, th j gratifying Btntomcnt, that in the- Fourth
Assembly District of .King's County, Mew
/York} containing thousands of returned Uuion
Soldiers, an organization was started in favor
of "Grant and Colfax," styled "Tho Hoys in
Blue:" and so few soldiers could be induced
to join, that it was necessary to tr.ko in civil
ians, under the title of "loyal friends of tho
aoldiors," in order to form a club of sixty mem
bers. '
[CO M M U KI1CATBD.]
Mr. Editor:?As tho condition of or?ps,
&c, havo beon hoard from, from Bovoral por
tions of our District through your paper, I will
trouble TlIE NliWH with some observations,
while on a "little tramp" through tho upper
portion of the Fork. :
The people gonorally arc "wide nwako" in
viow of tho coming election, and are promptly
organizing Democratic Clubs. A few days
ago, one was organized at Jllocky Grove
Church; and great interest was manifested in
its success by the largo number who havo en
lulled tbcmselvea, uudor tho banner of "Sey
mour and Blair." Tho subject of "Foreign
Immigration" seems to huvu considerable ut
teution; and many are willing to offer induce
ments, as soon as it is properly and fairly laid
before the public.
1*7 Wo camo near coming in contaot with ouo
of the "Grant Emiaaiies" who passed through
that section ; aud who I suppose has pas?cd
or will pass, through your villago. He relatco
(to tho Black Reds) that he is bout for the
purpose of securing the names of those colored
men, who voted the Democratic ticket; so that
our Pump Congress may put them tu bondage
for 0110 hundred years. This piece of villiany
has been promulgated with imch candor, carri
estness and deceitful prejudice, that it has
done a great deal me.ro mischief than one
would, suppose. Thpso.whc wore hot and oou
lirmcd Radicals are still move oloacly jqiucd to
their idol; while those wl\p voted with us or
did not vote at nil seem doubtful aG to how the
game will cud. I did not have the pleasure
of seeing this gcutlcmun of the Grant stamp ;
but he is represented as being a huge mulatto;
but calls himself r. Frenchman. When he ar
rived at the plantation (the ncgio-quatler, late
atTuight) of Mr, J. A. Galley, he was mjtu-.
shoes, hat and coat, which garmculs he report
ed m being lout, in chasing a (white) Demo
crats, a few miles above there, who boing of
the tame nativity, had made an Esau of him
self, and deserved death at bis bauds. Ho
failed to scouro his prkc, on account of the
Democrat ''taking tho swamp." Tho "Head
man" among the Bads summoned a caucus;
and after '^Mature deliberation," it was agreed
that all on the plantation should contribute to
Im luighl ptoeeod without delay on his nil-im
portant business. It waa decided that, as
ehiekeu-roost wore less dangerous pf approach
ut a lato hour of tho night, aud hot so weighty,
squoaly atid easy of dote Lion, as a contribu
tion of pigmcat, the necessary funds should bo
raised by contributions of chickens, to be sout
tc tho noarcst barter-depot of such things,
gohcrnjly. One on the plantation,?a hard
working fellow, having a slight sprinkle about
him of Domooraoy,?refused to havo anything
to do with the affair; but "Ole Man" with
rille in baud, and tho "-Monsieur'' man with
pistol girded to side, followed; aud coming
upou the poor fellow in his field, hard at work,
demanded tho contribution, "Chiokcus or
Death" being the cup. The chiokeuB were
"forked over," much to the dissatisfaction of
tho troubled mind aud hungry stomach of tho
freed man. Would it be anything amiss for
our clubs to appoint a "Vigilant Committee"
to attend to such characters ?* It is evident
thoy are prowling about tho country continual
ly, doing serious injury aud should bo arrested
as "Vagrants."
Wo hud tho pleasure of being present at the
meeting of the Pino Bog Democratic Club.
It has been recently gotten up, but can show
a long roll of sound Democrats. Tho mooting
was addressed by Captain John C. Humphries,
of Alabama, on the Phrenological, Ethnologi
cal, Anatomical and Natural difference between
the Anglo-Saxon and negro races. A great
deal of doop thought and oloso investigation
was ovinced by tho spoakor; and tho subject
was bandied, as well as wo were able to dis
cern, with much ability.
The planter? all through this suctiou have
fine corn crops, although somewhat injured by
tho hot weather a few weeks ago. Proportion
ately, very little cotton is planted. In every
instance whore the crops have been properly
worked they uro better than last year; One
very good reason for this, is, that tho planter '
lias hot onl j leavnod to manage five labor to
greater advantage, but the experience of the
last two yoaru has shown, conclusively, that ho
cannot lend near as much to the horse or to
the band as formerly. When we can anni
hilate Radicalism, (which ! hope- will be noxl
Noyombov.) dem dish Frucdtnou Bureaus, and
demonstrate practically, that the negro is de
pendent on the white ?bau,?then I hope our
liclda will bloasunru.' of yore, and tho smiles of
peace and plenty be sceu on every face.

What Democrats ?lioiild Do.
First of all thoy should understand (hut in
this coutcbt is involved the qucstiou wbother
our Goverumeut shall remain Ropubllcau or
become a Despotism.
They (should brace themselves Lr tho fight,
with a determination to win.
They should bo vigilant, earnest, active, and
leave as littlo no possible to chance.
Thoy should nominato good men for all
offices to ho filled this year, and then work loi
them with a will.
They should nir.ko it their business to refute
every slander circulated about their candi
dates.
They should organise clubs in every county,
village and township, nud attend tho meetings
regularly.
They should ongngo popular speakers when
over they can, and invite their Republican
neighbors to hear them.
Thoy should discountenance all disorderly
proceedings, and show by oxample that thoy
arc friends of law and fair dealing.
Thoy should subscribe for. and read, and get
their friends to read, good Douioorntic papers,
and distribute mich papers, among tneir Re
publican acquaintances.
They should realize that newspapers are use
ful engines to move public opinion, and deal
with tliem accordingly.
They should support their local papers first
and then support n good Democratic paper,
which can generally give them much more in
formation than papers published in small towns.
But their Grat duty is to subscribe lor the
local paper, and pay for it.
Mon who think that editors can give time
nud labor for nothing still havo a good deal to
learn, and Guquld set about learning it as soon
as possible.
Democrats should koop thoir eyes wide open
and not ho afraid to look at tho futuro.
They should also glance occasionally at the
the part and take note of bow the ship is drift
ing from her moorings.
They should not be afraid to talk plainly
and baldly and let their opponents know that
thoy are ready for action.
They .should contribute to tho support of
I Democratic organisations and understand that
tho money will return to them in roduced
taxes:
Day and night ihoy shouid be on tho alert,
ami kco that not \ single Democratic vote is
1 lost by indifibrcuco.
They should cany a ."<<r Seymour and Rhiir
