VI WINNSBORO, 8. d.X, whb~t sbAV OR A 9N An liporlnti Move iAW th Colored fikdert. A curious political movement is now on foot, which, whether it is likely to evontuAte in anything of im portanco or nut ortai'nly indicates that the sitektion is fully Ap'precia ted by lead):\g colored Ipen. When Robert C. DeLargo wvas elected to Congress, it was WnoMA to many of his friends', athough Wt publishe'd during the canvass, that he was stringly in favor of, and would advocate, general amnesty. As a native-born Carolina colored man, he is probably the best exponent o" that idea now among the ltepresentatives from this State. If we add to this a fre quently-expresed determination by him to move, at the proper time, in behalf of Conservatism, as distin guished from the Radicalism which has been brought into this State by outsiders, we have some reason for believing that he is about to make good declarations and lend his influ ence to the organization of a now party. It is, further, well known that Ransier, Nash, Wimbush, Smalls and other Radical colored men have juat returaod from Washington and a conference with "the powers that be," and their programme of the future is thus mapped out : 1. A proposal to the Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade to re pudiate the entire indebtedness of the State. 2. A convention, within two months, for the organization of a new party, based strictly on intelligence &ad intority. 3. The exchange of mutual guaran ties between the races, wherein the colored leaders only ask that their bresenteivil and political right shall [lot be disturbed, and that they shall 3av'e a faii representation in the offi a of the State Government, in re. idrn fdr which they will pledge them. selves to unit6 with the whites in the sleptidh of he best men to office. 4.

Itfe Sit'ation and Remedy. MR. EnITOR: The continued impor tiuitios of friends, who attach more Value to My vIews'than they are en. titled to, make me ask a space in yodr columns. While I siuggest e remedy for our present gri\'6ances, I must say I have little hope that those who how have the power in their haids wIll ever willingly submit to its least abate. Y1'1t. I look, rather, for relief in the overthrow of the national Radical Party, to whibh the en'ormities prac ticed ih thiis tal.i are in no small degree contributing. As to the double tax proposed to be collected in November, I would say res'ist it in ivery tvay short ofatual ribelioA. The whole difficulty, though, may be removed by the au thorities requiring no tax to be aol l'soted in November, 1871, a half tat in March, 1872, and then a whol tax in Nuveuiber, 1872. In such an rangemient we ought'to acq.ui'esce; This disposes of an exceptional grieiance 'of great magnitude. But thet-o are othera of a permatient-nature and of greater importance, the euistenoe of whlch precludes the idea of pgace; lawand order, as long as the blood of the Angid-Saken or Cavtlier cour .8eb through our veins. I rter id the inoD6trouts system of election frauds practiced upon us, ,Ile wholesale *6bbery of our property udder the guise of taxation, and the s4uahadri ig of the money raised - by taxation for purposes otber than the wants of an honest government. These wrodge cannot be temedled by a change of the qualifications of voterg ,r of office-holders, no- 1y a thangb of duf present system of reyijresentation. A donolusive reason is that these changes cannot be made ; nor will the party in power ever consent that we have a niajoritj .it the Senate, which cdnhrms aipooliiti@ents b? th6 Governoi, of in the 11ouse, the ima jority of ,whiu! deterrmines tlie delec tion of United States Senators affd Judges. All we can ask, with any exp'cta tion of our requ'est belng complied with, is to have a check p'ower upon taxation and appropriations given ds. This can be done by the Consithution being so amended as : 1. To require four iandgors of elections at each election precinct, two of whom are to b~o chpsen by each political party in tl'o Co'unties i to have the votes counted as soon 8s the polls are closed, atnd the results ag gregated the second day aftbr, by two from each boZ, (ong ftom ea6b political party,)' assemb Ifng at the County seats. 2. To require for the passage of every bill imposing tdxe A, sise~sing the value of property fof taxation, borrow,ing money or raising revenue in any way, and of every bill malting appropriations, creating pny d bt or liability, or le'nding 2 'e faith and credit of the State in any rda'y, ft to receive the vote of three-fourths' of .the members of each h'ouie, thu santos to be ascertained by a fo'te by yeas and nays, made of rtlcord on the jour;' nals of each house. 8. To provide that ib'on the adop tion of the two fordgoing amendments all Acts and parts of Acts,' relating to the assessment of fropertff foa', taxation, the imposi'tion of taxes, Aod' providinog for elections by the peoplb; shall be no longer of 1(orce, upon the first meeting of the General- A's. sembly thereafter held:;' and that all Acts, and parts of Acts relating to ti'' aforesaid subjects,' liassed by any General Assembly, shall cease to be of force upon the adjournment of the first session of the General Assembly nextt elected.,. This Is asking as little' of the Re publican party as will ensure us re 'lief from the eormI~ld'Ie are now suffering. By these a'mendment no right or privilege now possssd by .our colored citizens woW d in the least. be impaired ; wbhe thdir~ real inster es would be proibted.
