[ Fro,m tie Wa ithingion Chronicle, Adm'n.] These representatives of the old regime in South Carolina couiplaiud to the. President that the taxes in their State are too high ; that the majority of their fellow-citizens are 'I m-taxpayers' and that a ndj )rity g >vern ; and.the minority, although pa)itng a large part of the taxes, have no voice in the goveroment of the l'almetto State uncel- the order of things which now prevails. This last allegation is, of course, false. They all have a voice in the gover t'IVitj it is presimed, in tie sense of being voters. But being Democrats, and tihe State leiug Republican, they can not elect themsel~es to office, and in that sense they are with. out any voie.e in the government of South Caiolina, jut as Republicans arc without a voice in the local gov. ernmient in Georgia, Kentucky, or Maryland. The object of this com uittee of old Democratie politicians had in view seems to have been to induce the President or Congress to dist:ratvuhise the tnfairity of the peo. ple of South Carolia, on the ground of ignornntiee, dishonety, or general incapacity, so as to enable their for mer ina.8ers to -emtkre their old phc.s in the derart' et u ,iof the lo cal govem nment.

I.ON)oNg March 0.-There are many people here who are watching .with gre.at interest the struggle Which ia 9oing o in South Carolina between th1e taxpayerb and tax-eaters -between the honest men and the thieves. It has not been very easy to obtain full information of the progress of this struggle. The New York pappra tll us but little about it. Private letters seldom furnish us many facts or details ; and had it not been for the accounts which wo find in your journal, we should bl, left in comparative ignorance. Ny own copies of the News and Courier for the last few days havO been in great demand, so heen was the anxiety among hankers and oth'ers here to read the accounts of the proceedings of the Taxpayers' Convention at Columbia. I am glad to be charged with the duty of conveying to the taxpa3ers of Carolina, thrdnigh you, a message whlub miay be said to express the feelings of a very large and in. fluential clups of financiul .atwd com mercial nain in London. The mes. sage, in effect, is this: "Do not de. spair of your future. It is imporsi ble that you cn fail in your cttenpt to regain the control of your own af. fairs. Wheh oit once do regain this control, you wiil retain it . without diti.-ulty ; and under your admnini.9. tration the fearful calamities of the last few years will be redressed. if you shiould then want money, you can have it, in any amount and on any terms.
