Editor Aiken Recorder; “I take issue with ‘•J. E.” in his analysis of gpyeruinental authority when )ie announces as his theory that it is d fundamental doctrine of the kn6|0Rt landmark democracy that rafcation and representation should go together.” Well, that’s all right, but aae here, was not this the doctrine that prompted Patrick 'Hdiiry, to draw those memorablo fesorations in the Virginia assehiihiy? , ''i)id not the Americai* colonies declare’ lhat taxa tion and representation Ufe insepera- ble? And did they n6E niaintaiu this a “fundamental” doctrine?” Was nbt* this fundamental doctrine the basis'bf the motion of James Otis, of MtmAebujiettA,' inviting the colonies to hold a Colonial 1 Cohgrtjs* ? Was not the doctrine of representation and taxation the leading idea of every document approved hy that Congress? ’as not this doctrine tlie foundation Which the association known as i u Horts pf LJberty was based ? Did not this doctrine consign the British Tea kt Charleston to damp cellars to .rpt, and put it afloat in the Boston barber? Was it not this doctrine which Mr. Pitt so ably defended in the House of Commons? Cf Mr. Pitt, Bouth Carolinians then said, “that time shall sooner d*5»trpy all marks of their estpeni th<w erase from their minds rt great sense of-his pa- iHot^d'Virtuek."' Wa5 rfot the ignor ing of (LiUf doctrlnei by tlie British f ’arliiimeiH opde'called “tlie folly of England ^nd the ruin of America?” WMU‘"lt was ignored did not Dr. fValiklin write “tlie sun of liberty is set?” Was it not ignoring this doc trine by the mother country which muffled the hells of America and caused them to strike a funeral peal? But why should I go further to show tnat thu dpc|rine is ancient and funda- liiehtat, when the'history of our coun- try Ik’abYull o'f'its' achievements? I will therefore'content myself by add ing a few words' of Lord Camden in tne House of Peers. In defending this doctrine he said, “my position is this fend I. will maintain it to my last to take it from him without his con sent. Whoever attempts to do it, at tempts an injury; whoever does it commits a robbery.” Now, I bold to the ancient doctrine and am satisfied With my oompany. As to the Dr.’s assertion that' monied corporations “create not hut control,” I ask him to prove it. If it itj'a fact, tlie proof is ( .vailable, and when lie has produced l I will take buck what t'said about it. I would aiyfi asspre him that I am not sensible of’ any ambition for bfflee, abd to adopt his language, “my present convictions lead me to be lieve that 1 never will' be.” I am sor ry that I did not get tlie proper de signs in the use of t|i0sc compound words, “hard-worked and poorly-paid tillers of the soil.” I thought that “out of tlie abundance of tlie heart” t hose words came. It now appears hat while they were the right mate rial for Inflaming tlie passions and prejudice, they were not designed so ;o do. I Be it so. Lwesville, March 33th, 18SG. Call fur a F’avmers’ Convention tfyc Runner* of Aiken County. Whereas, tlie farmers throughout the State are organizing in Township and County associations to appoint delegates to a convention of farmers of South Carolina to beheld in Col umbia on the 29th of April 1886. Therefore, the undersigned respect fully ask the farmers, in each town ship in Aiken County to send dele gates tb a wrtvehtion to be held at the Aiken CVurV House •op the 12th oi April, 1886, to*' 'provide that tlie views and interests of 'the farmers of County ‘ be represented in the tate Convention. 1 • ' And whereas, ivith the progress of I he age and the advance of civiliza- ion all persons engaged in honest and te ii}ful occupations me more and more nocik^ing themselves together to dis- bussand understand and to protect and promote their cbmmon interest, it be- ingespecially important andneceseary that farmers, more widely separated tban otiiers from the very nature of their occupation, should combine for the promotion of their welfare. Information and instruction are ac cessible to dwellers in towns, but are with difficulty attainable by country beople; remedies for this may he sought in the establishment of far mers'Bistitutes and other educational methodA 'which could be sustained } >y a portion of the half million do!- ars and more we contribute annually to public education. Our roads are obstacles to free intercourse, the exit ing road law is costly, oppressive and ineffective, while it is peculiarly and almost exclusively'the interest of far mers to see that a better law is substi tuted for it. Tlie latv'ftor tlie collec tion of liens on crop, a device and leg acy of the Radicals, lyas wrought confusion on our agriculture. Far mers and farmers only care to remedy this. ' The multiplication of County and State officers has imposed a bur den of taxation on agriculture which farmers alone can remove. It has been announced that farmers have at| along been goyeniing the State ol South !, Car6lma: possibly you have not been aware that stith v.las the rase. i »- > 1 Therefore, we row invoke you as free, self-governing men to consider the important matters above sugjest- •d together with others which space does not permit us to mention to real ize your responsibility for the protec- tion of your own rights and interests.
