VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1578. CHARLESTON, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 12, 1871. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK A y ADDRESS BT TBE DEMOCRATS IN C?NORESS TO THEEEOEZE. k Important Counsel to tuc South. W The following Itrthe full test of the address I to the people, just lssued.hy the Democrats ia. j Congress: . / To the Peofteof il* United States : Our presence, abd official duties at Washing-' ton have enabled us to become fully acquaint? ed with the actions anti ^designs of thdae whot control the Radical party, and we feel calle* upon to utter a few words ol warnlog against toe alarming strides they have made towards centralization of power in the hands of Con? gress and the Executive. The time, and attention of the Radical leaders have been almost wholly directed to devising such legislation as will, in their view, beet preserve.Tdjelr ascendency, and. no regard tor the wise restraints Imposed by the- constitu? Hon has checked their reckless and desperate career. The Presid?nt of the United States iras been formal'y announced asa candidate for re-elec? tion. The declarations'of lils sel Ssh support er s have been echoed by a subsidised press, and the discipline ot party has already made adhesion to his personal fortunes the supreme test o.*3>olltlcal fealty. '. * ' The partisan legislation to which we refer was decreed: and. shaped in secret caucus, where the extremest counsels always domi? nated, and waa adopted by a subservient . majority, if not with the intent, certainly with I the effect, to place In the hands of the Pres l f dent power to command bis ownrenomim ^ tlon. and to employ the army, navy and militia ^ athis sole discretion, as a means of subserv? ing his personal ambition. When the sad experience ot the last two, years-so disap? pointing to the .hopes and generous confidence ol the country-is considered, In connection with the violent utterances and rash purposes of those who control the President's policy, it is not surprising that the gravest apprehen? sions for the iuiure peace of the nation should be entertained. . At a time when labor is depressed, and every material interest ls Daisied by oppressive taxa? tion, the public offices have bean multiplied beyond all precedent, to serve as instrumenta In the perp?tuation oX pc wer. . Partisanship is the only test applied-to the distribution of ?his vast patronage. Honesty, fitness, and moral worth are* openly discarded W favor bf truck? ling submission and dishonorable compliance. Hence, enormous defalcations and widespread, conniption;'have tallowed as the natural con? sequences of this pernlotous system. Ey the official report o!' the Secretary ol the Treasury, it appears that alter deduction of all proper, credits, many millions of dollars re? main due from ex-collectors of the Internal revenue, and that no. proper diligence has ever been used to collect them; Reforma in ihe revenue and fiscal systems, which all experience demonstrates to be nec? essary to ? a irugal administration of the gov? ern menu as. well aa a measure, ol relief to an overburdened people, nave, been persistently posiponed o- wilfully negfected. Congress now adjourns without having even attempted to re? duce taxation, or to repeal the glaring Imposi? tions by which industry ls crushed and Impov? erished..? The treasury Is overflowing, and ?\n excess of eighty millions of revenue ls admit? ted; and yet,' instead of some measure bf pres? ent relief, a barren and delusive resolution is passed'-by the.Renate to consider the tarlff-and excise systems .hereafter, as if .the history al' broken pledges and pretended 'rem?di?s fur? nished any better assurance for,futrir? legisla? tion than exp?rience has done rn the past.. Shipbuilding and the carry i nc trade, once sources of national pride and prosperity, now languish under a crushing load ot taxation, and nearly every ether business Interest Is struggling" without profit to mai tain itself. Our agriculturists, while paying, heavy taxis on all they consume, either to the .government or to monopolists, ;flnd the prices for their own fe products sd reduced, that - honest labor ls de } nied its just reward, and industry ls prostrated by Indvldlous discrimination. . Nearly. 200, OW,000 acres of public lands, which should have been reserved iof the-benefit of the people, have been voted away to giant cor- : po rai ions, neglecting our- soldiers and enrich-: mg a handful of greedy speculators and lob- : ? byists, who are thereby enabled to exercise a most dangerous and corrupting influence over : Stale and Federal legislation. li the career of these/, conspirators be not checked, the downfall of free government is Inevitable, and with lt the elevation of a mill-. tory dictator on the nd ns of the Republic. Under pretence of passing lawn to "enforce the fourteenth amendment, and for other pur? poses. "Congress has conferred the most des- - potlcpowerupon the Executive, and provided i an official machinery by which the liberties of the people are menaced, and the sacred right i of local self-government In the Slates is ig? nored, if not tyrannically overthrown. ?Model -1 led after the sedition laws, so odious in his*, i tory, they are at valiance with all the sane-: tined theories -of our-institutions, and the construction given by tbege Radical interpret? ers'to the fourteenth amendment is, to<ruse i the language of an eminent senator, (Mr. i Trumbull, of Illinois,) an "annihilation ot the i States." : i Under the last enforcement bill, "the Ex-? i ecuiive may, in his discretion, thrust aside the i fovernm.eot.of any State, suspend the writ of 1 abeas corpus." arrest Its governor, imprison I i or disperse the Legislature-, 6lle?ee- ile -Judges,. j and trample down Its people under the armed t heel of his troops. Nothing ls left to the : citizen or the State which can any longer be! j called a right; all is changed Into mere suffer- ? ance. j t Our hopes (or redress are in the calm good; ,i sense, the "sober second thought'1 of the < American people.' We cail:.<npon them to be i true to themselves and to their posterity, and ? disregarding party names and minor differ-; s enees, to insist upon a decentralization of pow- I er, the restriction of Federal authority within < Its just and proper limits, leaving to the States I tba': Control over domestic affairs which is es- < sent ?al to their happiness ana tranquillity and < good government. I Everything that malicious ingenuity could < suggest has oeen done to irritate the people of I the Middle and Southern States. Gross and i exaggerated charges of disorder and violences 1 owe their origin to the mischievous minds bf 1 potential managers in the. . Senate und House 1 ol Renreseiitatlvtfs, to Wnlcb, tile Executive ? j has. We regret to say, lent bis aid, adi tbus t helped to Inflame ?hie,popuJa'r reeling. In all t vMs course of hostile legislation arid harsh re-: t sent ment no word bi conciliation, ot klhd; j ' encouragement! or -fraternal feeling, bas -t ever beep spoken:;: by the President, or \ by Congress, to the people ot the -South- i ern Slates. They have-been addressed only 1 in the language of proscription. ? We earnestly entreat ourlellow-cltlzens In < all parts of the Union t . spare no effort | tojpaintain peace and order, to carefully.pro- < tecttbe rights of every citizen, to preserve. < kindly relations among all men, and to dis- < countenance and discourage any violations of t the rights of any portion of the people secured under the constitution, or any ol its amend- 1 agent*. J Let us, In conclusion, earnestly beg of you t not to aid the present attempts ot Radical 1 partisans to stir up strife in the land, to reue w i the issues ol war, or to obstruct the return- of < peace and prosperity to the Southern States, 1 because lt'; thus lhat they 6eek to divert the t attention of the country from the corruption i and extravagance In their administration of : public affairs, and the dangerous and profil- 1 gate attempts the y are making towards the ere- < alion ol a centralized military government. 1 In the five years ot peace, following the i war, the Radical administrations have expend- 1 ed $1,200,000,000 for ordinary purposes alone, < being within $200,000,000 ot the aggregate 1 amount spent for the *ame purposes in war ] and in peace during the seventy-one years < preceding June 30, ISSI, not including io 1 either case the sum paid upon principal or i interest of the public debt. It is trilling with .< the intelligence of the people tor the. Radical ? leaders to pretend thutlbls vast sum has been . honestly-expended. Hundreds of millions of l it have been wantonly squandered. . The expenditures of the government for the i fiscal year ending June 39, 1861, were only i $62,000,000, while for precisely the same pur- i pose-civil list, army, navy, pensions and In- i dians-$lG4,000 000 were expended during the 1 fiscal year ending June 30, 1870. i No indignation caa be loo stern, and no i scorn too severe, for the assertions, by un- l scrupulous Radical leaders, that the great i Democratic and Conservative party or the I Toolon has or can have sympathy- with dis- i eWers or violence in any part of the country, l or In the deprivation of any man of his rights under the constitution. It ls to protect and perpetuate the rights which every freeman ..cherishes; to revive in all hearts the leellngs of friendship, affection, and harmony, which are the best guarantees of law and order, and to throw around the hum? blest citizen, wherever he may be, the protect? ing ogl3 of those safeguards ot personal liber? ty which the fundamental laws o? the land assure, that we invoke the aid of all good men in the work of peace and reconciliation. We invite their penerous co-operation, irrespective of all former differences of opinion, so that the harsh voice of discord may be silenced; that ! a new and dangerous1 sectional agitation may be checked;, that the""bnrdens of taxation, direct or indirect, may be reduced to the low? est point consistent with good faith to every Just national obligation, and with a strictly economical administration ot. the government, and that the States may be restored in their integrity and true relations to our Federal Union.'

Uncle Joseph Crews In Kew Y'-orlt-Look? ing after th? South Carolina Plnan c. g-The misses Rollin's Letter to the Sun Correspondent-A Nice Little j Claim. . [Correspondence of the New York Sun.] COLOMBIA, 8. C., April 14. Th?' State Government o? South Carolina seems to betaking unto itself winga and flitting away. Such an exodus has never been known* since the organization under the new r?gime. The people look upon this scattering ot the faithful with mach concern, and wonder what lt all means. Some say the government has re? ceived notice from theKu-Klux to quU, while others aasertthat lt is only a move on the part of the leading polldclafls looking ?o' the organi? zation of a new scheme ot plunder. Which-1 ever it may be, It ls Certain that South Caroli? na is deserted for the time being by her g uar-1 diana, (sic,) and that your city has now the F honor of harboring them. State Treasurer Parke'r, Comptroller-General Neagte, the Hon. F. J. Moses: Jr.. speaker of the .House, the ] Hon: Tim Hurley, the Hon. Harry Noah, the' Hon. Hardy-Solomon, the president of- Gover? nor Scott's bank, the Hon. G. W.Waterman, of the third House, Honest John Patterson, of the Greenville Road, Lleutcn?nC-GOv?rnor Ransier, th? Hon. C. C.. Bowen, and last but not least. Uncle Joseph Crews, the gre?t poker I player and representative from Laurena, are ALL IN KKW TORE; and will probably'remain there for some time. By many claiming to be well-informed, it is be-1 lieved that this sudden departure lor New York of so many of the leading lights In the South Carolina flnnanent has reference to the lundlngof the Srate debt under the provisions of the sterling funding bill, anda change In the financial agency. Governor Scott ls golncr to New York himself In the course of a week br so, and then ihe machinery for funding the debt will be put in operation. First of all, H. H. Klmpton the financial ?gent bf the State, in whose-abllitles, by thc way, no one hore seems to have any confidence, ls to be re? moved and some incorporated institution lu New York (probably the Broadway Bank).will, be appointed in his place. Klmpton claims that the State owes bim' a large amount of money that he has advanced on lils personal account, but that Is a matter nb one can understand. His claims, however, may I lead to difficulties in removing him-, for lt is said to bea very large amount. The people, are at a loss to understand how they can pos? sibly be Indebted to Mr. Kimptou In so large a sum. When the latter was appointed?uan cial agent, lt was, a notorious fact that he-hud nothing, and even Iiis supposed .influence which recommended him to Scott lb the first place' dwindled down to a mere nothing. 1 j understand that immediately after the appoint- { ment of Klmpton, he was .called upon to raise I $60.000 to pay off the members ol the first Leg? islature under Governor .Scott.; Hecouldnot and did uot respond, although, .furnished with bonds ot the State tor the purpose. The Gov- J er nor nrially had to Op TO NEW TORE, and on his personal credit raise'the amount. This was but three years ago, and now'it is J feared that the State ls so deeply indebted to its Unsocial agent that it cannot get rid of him. These are malters that the taxpayers cannot understand. . ? By the way, speaking;of the Broadway Bank and ltd probable appointment to the financial agency, reminds me that F nave Just seen the ll card published In the Sun. by the president \. and cashier of that Institution, denying certain sutemente of mine in a former letu-r. The denial having come lrotn sp respectable al! source, I leel called upon to explain'ray pp?l-1, tlon and rell?ve myself tff the Imputation ca-;t! upon me bythe card. I certainly did-believe . that the bank had an agent In Columbia leek- { lng after ita own la ere sis. which were then, and, I can assure Mr. Palmer,"are believed by I the. people of the State still to be very large j indeed. The person referred to os the sup-1? posed agent was j UR. CHARLES U. P. RIPLEY, j > who spent the winter here, ami on many oeba sions represented blioself to be the agent bf i the Broadway Bank. He seemed well con versant with the affairs of the bank ami Its . connection with South Catortruv finances. : Everybody h?re, officials and all, believed thac Mr. Ripley was .the bank's agenti.
