B. Allon, Ohoster. S. P. Kinard, Newberry C. H. James Grant, Union. Julius Poppo, Anderson G. H. Tho Committee appointed by the D?mooratio Club of Union Court House, on 22d October, to prepare some responso to the extraordinary proclamation of Governor Scott, on the 20th day of October, 1868, is? sued under the Seal of the State, re? spectfully report the following pre? amble and r?solutions: The proclamation of Gov. Robert K. Seott charges the poople of tho whole State with anarchy and law? lessness. "We regret to learn this, for it has never existed heretofore in South Carolina. But we are induced to believe that matters aro not so bad under his administration, ns his fears havo led him to suppose; for the "re Sorts daily received at the Executive lepartmeut," come, ''particularly," inpart, "from the County of Union," and convey information and depict a state of things, of which the people of Union themselves are profoundly ignorant. It was not to be expected that Gov. Soott would, in a public proclama? tion, reveal the sources of his infor? mation; nor would it ba surprising if one, who has scarcely yet been long enough in South Carolina to acquire a domicil, should be ignorant of the character of his informants. Bat while the names of those who famish him "daily" with reports, aro concealed, the subject matter of the reports are happily set forth at length, in this Executive document. It is impossible to treat a subject of such serious import as this, with? out using plain and strong language. Wo live here, our families live here, and we expect to remain hero, what? ever may be tho form of government. We feel interested in the welfare and reputation of a State, whoso people is thns ruthlessly assailed. Wo feel it a duty to ourselves, to do all in our power to refuto tho slander which this proclamation contains. And when one who claims to be "no Re? publican Governor, bat Governor of the wholo poople," upon the tes? timony of "reports daily received" from persons of whose character he knows nothing, deliberately charges ns with resistance to the laws, cold? blooded murder, and other crimes of tho most heinous oharacter, we almost feel provoked into language more strong than elegant. For we do most emphatically contradict the troth of the information upon which these charges are based, so far as this County is concerned. There has not been a single instance ot resistance to the laws in Union County. There have boon only two homi? cides since January last: one, a negro killed by a negro, upon sadden quar? rel; the other, a white man killed by a white man, in a dispute about their crop-both wholly disconnected from politics-the opposing parties in each oase being of the same political faith. There has buen no case of "fami? lies forced to abandon their homes and property by fear of violence." The authority of the officers of tho State ^Government in this County has not been "oponly derided and denied." "Throats of violence and death are" not "uttered against prominent members of tho Republican party, if they attompt to visit" this "District for tho purposo of discussing the po? litical questions of tho day." On the contrary j many of the Republi? can leaders in this Stato have boen boro, havo delivered political ad? dresses, and gone away unharmed. A radical mooting was hold hero on Saturday last, attended by many white mon, and speech?ft wore mart? by Lucius Wimbush, of Chester, and other members of tho Legislature; at which there was no disturbance nor interruption, but everything passed off quietly aud orderly. "Declarations ore" not "rundo by persons calling themselves Demo? crats, of their determination not to permit their political opponents to voto ot tho ensuing election." 4 Fire-aruis havo been introduced; but Gov. Scott has boen informed over and over again, that they wero not introduced for the purpose of controlling the election, but were in? tended solely for protection against the armed bands of negroes, which, heknoics, have long been parading hero. "The public highways are" not ''picketed nnd patroled by armed men." And there is not "a systematic ef? fort, by intimidation und abuse, to deter colored men from the exercise of tho electivo franchise;" Unless it be by men belonging to the party of which Gov. Scott gives such unmis? takable signs of being a zealous member. There have not even been any cases, with us, of that incendiarism, now so prevalent all over the State; but of which this "Governor of the whole people" takes no notico in his proclamation. Wo havo thus denied the charges seriatim, and we defy the proof. Nc civil officer in this County has com? plained to Gov. Scott of obstruc? tions in the execution of tho law. Il private individuals have complained on behalf of said officers, Gov. ?Scott, nor any other official, has ever appliei to one single civilofficer in Union Coun? ty to know if tho complaint was just. IVe defy contradiction. Be it resolved, That the matten and things stated in the proclamation of Gov. Robert K. Scott, of 20tl: October, 18GS, so far as the same ari charged upon Union County, uri without foundation in fact. Resolved, That copies of the fore going preamble aud resolution bi forwarded to tho editors of thi Phoenix, New York Herald, Nationa Intelligencer, and La Crosse Democrat with request that they publish tin same. JOSEPH H. DOG AN, President. E. R. WALLACE, Secretary. ? < ? ? Joint Quincy Attains at Home. WHAT nE SAID TO HIS FRIEXTJS AN] NEIGHBORS ABOUT THE SOUTH. The Hon. John Quincy Adam made au address to his friends am neighbors at Weymouth, Mass., 01 Thursday laat, in the course of whicl ho said: As you all know, I have made a lit tie trip to the South. I wished t see what a reconstructed State wai and I went to South Carolina fo that purpose. I have come back wit this conviction, though I do notkuo< how the other conservative citizen of tho Union maj' feel about it. never iutend to stop to relax for on moment in the heartiest, most eat nest and most honest efforts I ca make, to remove all such "blessings as reconstruction from the necks i every one of my fellow-citizen: (Xioud applause.] The issue in th campaign to me is simply this, an nothing more. Reconstruction, t ?ou know, is the radical Constitutioi t is the only Constitution now i ten States of tho Union, and what it? It is simply this-the rule of tl military and nothing else. In ord? that it may not jar too much upc tho nerves of a Republican people 1 see eight millions of their fellow citizens hold down by the bayone they have brought in a great mass i three or four millions of poor, ign rant, degraded black men, and s them np in a row as it were, aero the Southern States, and beean they think you cannot see the bay net behind them, they say, "That a Republican form of government How Republican? What is this B publican form of government? WI look at tho condition of those Statt Suppose that almost oil the vote in this Commonwealth should su denly bo deprived of the franchit and in their placo it was bestow upon a set of men who were entire ignorant of the value and respon bility of the voting power-who km nothing about any of the prindin! in regard to which they were votir. Supposo such a class of men were bo put over yon, of course you wot not like it-you would feol unco fort able and disagree, and yon wot not suffer their rule if you could h< it. Yet this is precisoly the oonditi in which South Carolina is to-di She is governed by a set of men wi if the people were left to thomselv would novo no more chance of ho ing the offices of your Govern mt they now hold, than I should of bei elected King of Great Britain in pli of Queen Victoria, if I were to go England to-morrow. [Laughter.] And these officials having no hold upon the esteem of tho people, ns they call them down there in their expressive, though slightly inelegant, language, "scalawags" and "carpet? baggers," cannot command any of their respect and confidenca. Tho consequence of this is that they have to be supported iu their places by tho bayonets of tho United States sol? diers. And os thero aro not United States soldiers enough at tho South to keep th? people entirely "contented," nor enough to make tho Government thoroughly "Democratic!" so every day or two they aro calling for more soldiers in order to support these thoroughly "Democratic" and "Re? publican" Governments; and that is reconstruction ! My Southern Demo? cratic friends down thero greeted mo in a way which 1 shall never forget to my dyiDg day. The kindness, tho warmth, the consideration, tho order, which they showed in welcoming any Northerner, especially from Massa? chusetts, who would go down thero and say to them a kind word, who would not treat them like boys, and call them rebels, traitors, miserablo rascals or villains, went deep to my heart. They asked mo to say to my fellow-citizens at the North that they fought you in tho war; they believed that they were right; that they fought you as hurd ns they could, and when the war was dono they frankly aban doned what they had fought for They said wo had whipped them; we had conquered what we demanded duriug tho war, and they were ready to give it up. They would fight no longer, ami nil they asked was friend? ship and kindness. What they de served from us at the North was mercy, tho hand of kindness, good fellowship and brotherly love. [Loud applause.] They want no more con? test, no more ill blood; they want merely to shake hands, saying, we fought, and now tho fight is done let us bo frieuds. That is the feeling of tho mass of the wholo people I met at the South. I saw no unkindness, no sort of fueling indicating unkind? ness toward any of the people at tho North. That they may be treated in decency and kindness, they do ask, and that is what I pray of every one of you to labor for, [Applause.] It is the thing, it seems to me, that we need here at the North as much aa they need it ut tho South. All that they ask, und all that the Democratic party at the North seek to accomplish, is that we may be allowed to come to? gether once more in peace and amity; that this incubus of recoustrnotion may be taken off the people; that these soldiers may be taken away from between us, and that we-all of us once more may feel, North as well as South, white mau ns well us black man-tho benefits of a Union under the old system of government.

A MISERABLE SHAKER IS TH IC Victim to Fever and Aguo. Thin tedi?os and enervating diseaso is, unfortunately, too well known to uced a description. It is strictly a malarious disoase, caused by exhalations from tho soil, especially from marshes, swamps and newly cleared lands encumbered with decomposing vegetable mutter. Thc chills is ono of tho moat troublesome of maladies, as tho patiout, though ho may not he confined to his bed, is incapable of action. Tho experience of years has demonstrated thc fact that HOSTE TIER'S STOMACH BITTERS is a B?ro means of fortifying tho system against all atmospheric poison, breaking up tho paroxysms and rapidly restoring tho strength. Quinine, which has so long been the great remedy for chills, has been superceded by this powerful and harmless agent; while as a preventive it is un? equalled, ao its uso will certainly exempt all who may livo in unhealthy localities, from tho ravages of this disease. Hostettcr's Stomach Bitters is now among tho most popular, and, at thc samo time, valuable specifics in tho medical world. In recommending it to tho public, we aro fully conscious of doing them a great servico, knowing, ns wo do, their many excellent qualities, and sure and speedy action in all cases where tho dis? ease is caused by irregularity of tho diges? tive organs. As a tonic it is both mild and agreeable to the tasto, and stimulating in its action upon thc system. Oct 1G fG "MANHOOD."-Another New Medical Pamphlet from tho pen of Dr. Curtis.
