COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday Morning, February 6, 1874, The Spirit of the Movement In the State, It suits tho purposes of leading Radi eals of all classes and colors, across whose path of corruption, plunder and imbecility the shadows of coming events are falling, to brand the approaching i convention of tax-payers as political. So said S. J. Leo, Speaker of the Honso of Representatives, to his constitnentu in Aiken, and so has oharged more than onco tho Uni9n Heraldjttt is the first tane which tho old-now Union, the re? vamped organ of carpet bag plunderers, grinds oat npon its ro-appenranoe. Such is the way of thcfie people. Misrepre? sentation and appeals to prejudice and ignoranoe compose their a took in trade. They have been powerful weapons in their hands heretofore. But through their excesses, they have produced* a state of \binge so serious and embar? rassing to the "Whole country, including evett ' their wretched and oredalouB clientage, that such influences and snoh appeals cannot avail them to the Bamo extent any more. Instinct impels tbem to their continued use, however. They have no other tools with which to work. They still clutch at them with a despe? rate grasp. They seek to inoculate their"weak followers with tho fear of a loss of power and all tho fat things which it affords to them. They pre? tend i? think that tho present move oiont in the State has originated in tho -purpose' to contest the next eleotions with them. Bat they know that they misroproaent it. They know it has a broader basis than this to rest upon, a higher. object than this to subserve. They know that those who have it in hand are not such fools as to waste their ammunition npon a hopeless experi? ment.' We do not expect them either to understand its full significance, to appreciate the patriotic motives which yn&piro it, or to regard tho high objeots at which it aims. But they only take counsel of their fears, or they only practice their usual duplicity in endea? voring to discredit it by suoh imputa? tions as they think will damage it with their rank and file. So far as the determination of the people has been expressed, including more particularly the tax-paying por? tion, nothing has been pat forth or thought about entering into any scram? ble or contest for offices. There is no Demooratio party organization in the State which has taken, or whioh pro? poses to take, any action of this sort. We anderstand porfeotly the difficulties whioh sarroand us. We know that there is no easy way out of them. We are not so blind as to suppose they can be" overcome in a duy. The straggle is one whioh wu cannot longer avoid. Cir? cumstances foroe it upon us. We can? not deoline it, if we have any self-re? spect and pride of oharacter, any man? hood, left. We dare not, in jastioe to those rights whioh it is no loss a duty than a privilege to maintain, and which are centred in the words and the thoughts of country, home, family, children, property, honor and civiliza? tion, abdicate those powers which have been given us to defend them. Our op? pression and oar shame have ooutiaaed till they have beoomo intolerable. The evils, corruptions, imbecility and hypo? crisy of the barbarian government under whioh we anffer, have brought it to tho last analysis'. It stands before the world a guilty thing for scorn to point her slow, nnmoving finger at. Other com inanities and Status, otherjeountries, even the General Government itself, will now appreciate the work of destruc? tion which has boou wrought hero. They who heeded not tho voioe of manly remonstrance or tho protests against wrong of a bravo but unfortunate peo? ple; they who could coldly turn away from the piteous appeals wrung by suf? fering from innocent victims?need only turn their attention this way to sec a sight never to be forgotten. Hore li? berty, trao Republicanism, good govern? ment, rospoot for right, regard f jr de? cency, all lie prostrate. Here sohools and colleger* have been destroyed, and the light of civilization extinguished. Hore corruption riots in perpetual car? nival. This is tho picture?this the sad condition whioh wo propose to bring to the viow of the American people. This ruia and disgrace briug us the opportu? nity of being hoard. The first oall that want forth, and whioh is meeting with oarnost response from all quarters, was for dolegatcs to' assemble in convention, to address our fellow-citizens of tho other States, and to petition Congress to save their homes from confiscation, themselves from pau? perism, and their children from igno? ratio, degradation and slavery. That i<i the key-note of the Convention. It is to employ what moral force we may bo able to concentrate in instructing publio opinion abroad, and arousing it! to exertion ,injgpr behalf. It will be en? tirely in harmony with this general view to bring to bear directly what effective opposition we may be able to command against frauds and corrup? tions in the State Qoveinment, and to exert what influence we may have in favor of honest government and equal and exaot justice to ail. Tbeso uro the avowed general objects, and their im portanoe and necessity fully vindicate the publio interest which has been taken in them. They lio outside of party politics altogether. They ride above the domain of personal und party strifes. Thoy feed but ouo ambitiou? that of resouing tho State from ruin and degradation. The eingleuoss of purpose, the elevated task thus Get up to be accomplished, will conciliate a respect and command a scutitnenb in favor of the movement whioh will prove a tower of strength. It is ulready at? tracting notice and favorable commenda? tion. Loading Republicans in Congross have expressed their sympathy with it. The President of the United States, it is said, sympathizes in its objects. From many other sources, wo receive words of approval und good cheer. Let the good cause ho kept steadily in view. It spurns imputations as it re? jects all side or interested influences or objects. It has but to bo truo to the high ideal of duty to country and liberty to achieve great results. It will take time, sacrifloo and prodigious ex? ertions to do it. It is vital that it oom mnnnn wnll. Tax-Payees' Convention.?Fairfield sends the following delegates: Regu? lar? Jadge J. M.
