The Constiultion for the Tax Onlollg Proposed and Recommended by ih Tax-Paycrs' Conventlon. lFELLOW-CITME44s: The Nxeoifli~o Committee of the Tax Payera' Con ventioi in pursuance of the duty with which they were charged, here with present to you a plan for the orgauitation of thn To-% Unions throughout tho State. ',he object of this organizition is to put into effective operation all lawful means within our reach for the re establish met of an honest and economical administration of government in South Carolina. The commitice do notAdeem it ne cessary to argue with you upon the urgency of the occasion, or the ne. vessity of reforn. The burdens to which we are subjerted nrn greater than we can Lear, and the proof is found in the fact that the houses and lands of the proprietary class are be ing forleited to the State, in quantity and nunber nithout a parallel, from t.heer inability to pny the taxes. There can be no stronger or more fiistre.sing proof of oppression than the systematic confismcation by the governmvntof the property of the citizer. for non.paymeut of dues too excessivo to be borne. Hit who the moneys, extorted from the people tinder color of law, are also system atically and shamelessly squandered, plundered and stolen, unother and inore !rievous wrong is added to the uatalogue of enormities, and the very no1me of the most vulgar form of despotic rulo is renobod. Such gov ernment forfeits all title to the name, nnd is no bettO- than organised, spol iation 4drobbery. It would be a tlander,'nd a tigma upon you to siuppose that you willauffer this state Of things, so destructive and igno mimo1iiQUO, to continuie, without cx haunsting every possible human ef fort to put an cnd to it. Your histo ry, your traditions and your person. al manhood forbid it; there is no need of reasoning about it-if you lie true to yourselves, your instincts will all 11o0l you in this direction; nor can you hope to rodeem your telves. without helping yourselves. Se-lf-hel p will bring you all other lielp. We cannot believe that there are notgood -men enough of all par ties in the State to rescue the gov ernment frolm the men that are bringing ru-in and -disgrace upon you, and to resto'O it to something of its forner respectabi.ity. To this eed, tedtivity, real earnest purpose, devo tion to the oause and thorough or panii'ation are necessary. The Tax Unions will furnish the form of or ganiiLtion, but you molst breathe in to it the breath of 'life, and make it a living, active, efficint attd plervad ing instumnentality for gorod. Eu. pecia fly should o'tr youing men <de vole them selves to this wrk. T he future, its hope and destinies, are all theits. If they tie not try to shape It, thieve will be untold mineries in reserve for them-not only ruin, but shame and rentore, sure and 'perhaps too lates It is upon them that the blame-will rest, for it is now their time to come to the front In this etruggle under the law1 as before they came to the front in the more dreadful issue of war, The same. spirit and courage that stood them in stead theb, will stand them in stead now. Their cause will en1Iht the sympathies of all good mn throughout the nountry. To put c'is honesty to flight, to purge norrup tion, to rescue the good common wealth from the bands of those who bave made her name a by-word andi r-eproach every- where, Is a work well worthy of an earnest, concerted and persevering effort ; and if it be undertaken In the proper spirit, and with a seal and energy proportioned to the oxigencies In which we are placed, it must and will be success j ul. In conclusion, we beg to commend to your earnest, sober and faithuful conalderation these wotds of wise, pa triotic counsel, from the address of their convention to people of South (Carolina : Let thme honest and well mmeanlng eitisons, one by one, he b~roughit into tho Tfax-Payers' Union, and made to work for the cause of good goerhnment, until the State is redeemeod. The eclat that attends the clash of arms Is wanting to such a struggle, butL to '#014s can be more worthy of the earnest, fahful and pa tient labor of one who loves his teo. pie and his State. A triumph like this is not-to be won by a single do. elsive battle, nor, it may be, by many p.. toilsome campaigms; but i patient, en. turing and honest work sooner or late4, will bring victory to' your standards, No 11urel wreaths may rwthe victor's5 bron'r but a r~an sowed and rede-eme'Aarolins, a free prosperous ind happy people, will at test to fiture generations that, wor thy of your atieestry, and true as thei to duty and honor) youhave taken uj the fght in the darkest hour of ad.ver sity, and faithfully awa- seoestfiuli fought it out to victory. We con jure you, then, at once to organize, compact and work up the Taxpayers Union, until you auther the Stati safe in the harbor of assured peaci and prosperity.

Congress. tie seems to be type of a the jshrewd, glib, active, ambitious t' colored meb in whom Northern ad-- a venturere find their aptest. allies and si iistrumients in the nanipulation of b thie Southern spotrapies. We know nothing disopeditable to him per. sonally, but the ean b6 do ttestion ti of the class to which he belongs. n Mr. Lynch spoke of the Civil Rights 1 bill, and he was, of courgl, not well 4 pleased at the manner in which the .e Rouse had treated It ; but he-amsured the caucus of the strict party fidelity of the colored people. There was to be no reconciliation between them ti and their old masters. They would a not believe that slavery was beyond t revival. They would' not trust a T Southern white man with their liber- ly ties. They eared comparatively f, little for honesty in Oflice-this at least was the generpA drift of hie ad, dress-they' could pardon fran4, eor. a ruption, Ilentiousness, anfthing tj n.an or disgraceful, to an oithodox r, Republican politician ;-.,arid hey - would sooner vote for a tbief lite b Moses than an upright gentleman y like Lamar. , These are the conclu. a sions 'ogically to be drawfrorn the f, remaiks of Mr. Lynch, as we collate h I them fiomn the reports of the 'varions papers ; and it will be seen that they are equivalent to a notice to the par. I ty that it may nominate any rascal c thoy please, and the Southern no- t groes will swallow him. b In forecasting the Political Situa. f r tion, as it *ill be developed In the t Presidential struggle of 1870i, we are r confronted by a few facts which may as will be stated now. The republi- b can party has lost much of its prestige ( because it has permitted the public offices to bo honeycombed with corruption, anid has shown itself in C capable of dealing with the great . and important measures of finance I and taxation. The democray, on the other hand, has disaplayed al. I most equal incapacity, and ainO the canvass of 1876 it is likely to pr'esent as feeble a platform s that of 1872.
