Sir:?I understand that you are consulting jour political oppoueots, in every section of the State, as to the jb'gst means of preserving order, peace, I and the enforcement of thcluwa in South Carolina. You have invited prominent gtbtletncu throngfront the 'State to moe) you ip Colombia, for this laudable and patriotic purpose. 1 believe, sir, that you are now sincero in this purpose, notwithstanding yoar ''Winchester rifle speech" in Washington, a year or two since, in which you fiendUhly proclaimed that this inafrnm?nt of death. iu the bands of the negroes of South Curolino, was tho. most " effective nieatig dfhtaihfaluing qrder and quiet in the State. ' I rejoice to find that a change has conic over the spirit of your thoughts and actions; and J, for one, am ready nod williug.^rtth aJl tho good peeple of the : iS* V A ...?* *'% r <. .

Tho . iuoeadiary destruction of property every night, aud ihe roguery of tne -Legislature in the appropriations a n d tuxntiou, ^mounting ufumutely to cdufiacaiion of ail real and per ootiL estate, cannot bo borne much longer.

All the law lea*ukm and f ioUnoe which havo disgraced i lie State have been oaring to these two Bjurcea of aiiacbiot Never wa* there a more f'mal mistake, or A more cHaboletl wrong oomtnitted, than when you org*weed colored troops throe^bout the 8ute, aud put arm* into their ha n d i with powtfer and b?U, aa? jfr* nlcd the Mine to the white people. It Li ureas was owing to t hTs,~i ~ else. The iuurdor of iStoveus sua other white men at Union by one of your negro companies, aud the subsequent exeeutiuu of ten oolorcd prisoners was owiug to tho same cause. Tlfo fearful killing aud murder of a number of uien at Chester was likewise owing to your colored militia. The violence aud lawlessness at lorkvillo urigiuuted ia oue uf your wortiilow appoint meats. Ueretolore, jour ap\ poiutmenis bate beeu mostly made of ignorant and corrupt men, who cannot euforce the laws and preserve tbo peace. The coioied people at South Curoi nu behaved well during our divil war, and would have couuuucd to hare done bo, but for the unprincipled carpet bagger who came among them aud stircd up hatred to the white race by tbc'most artlul and devlish appoub to their fears and bad passions. (Jn, principled while men living among us, seeing an opportunity, of office and pluuder, joined the curpot-baggers.? The&e two olaSBes united in pursuading the negroes that thoj would be put back iu slavery, and that tbejr uiust apply the .torch to redress their supposed wrongs 1 It is not. surprising that a people so ignorant and credulous as the negroes arc, shoold thus have been led astray. Thoy were told that JandB would bo given them and their children eduoatetf Huudr?ds of thousands of dollars bare been appropriated for this purpose, and all scfoanderod aud stolen by their pretended friends 1 A multiplicity of offices hare been created to reward political partisans; salaries hare been increased, millions appropriated for railroads, and the ruust extravagant waste of publio moncys iu every way I The public officers aud the members of the Legislature ore charged with the most shameless corruption, bribory and roguerj. It is impossible for tdo industry of the State to pay taxes. There is no security for property ! It is impossible for this ihiug to go on and ptesorvo order in the State. The State bouds will not be paid. I earnestly desire the peaco andv prosperity ol my- State. 1 did all that 1 could to prevent the secession of South Carolina and the civil war which ensued.

You, sir, and those ia power at the preaeut time, may not heed my predictions again; bat the day is fast approaching when you will re* alize all that I have said unless some change takes place.

Thii, fcfifeatried, wrill stop the negro government; it exists hut upon the funds it ea?extort; and that measure we can ctu'ry if we trill it. In a contest betweoo property and power, except the government be purely despotic, the party possessing the funds of a country can dictaio terms upon which they spall be taken. Nor u despotic power itself . .oatessarily triumphant. The Stuarts, irr theory at least, had arbitral ty powdr abd were scarcely unde'' constitutional litnitatious in the means to ita arifawlkit,, ^ijBat at every great crgsi* m S]j?;?ODtesv ueiweeu uhu uuiw and &o?rlithp. held the puree io England, tho Crowa wfcf compelled io acknowledge tbo sources of the Support, wad the cdhstitutioa was formed^ wider its concessions. Tttf powerofthisuegro government is not so arbitrary or extensive; ftcy have not tho same agencies to enforce it. Th? property of ttiis oountry is under moreintelligent direction; we are able to make a more efficient use of it against this power than the. Commons of. England could, ami it is Scarcely questionable, therefore, Opon principle and 'oxpev rience, that; if we draw tho puree ' strings upon this people, wo can dictate the terms upon which our property shall b$ made tribtuary to the uses of the State. ' . Nor is ?. necessary to refer to principle for tins conclusion. It is plain i thhtif we {refuse; to pay the faxes and be free froth interference by the general government, they cannot collect thedl. They caotfct offer the property formic, hat can gcino money if there bo no bidders few. The white people will not bid., Xhe measure implies that thov aro oft to enecaiate qpou the ne< cmitica oifaoh other. Capital from abroad iftinbt$>id.

' r Permitted to run the machine of taxation to its results, upon the one condition that tbe white people of the State will not voluntarily respond to its exactions, it coiuos to nothing, and in perfect peace, therefore, we can ignore them, let their ship of State run aground, and without fureo or the vio* lation of any. law come to the point at whioh we eao stipulate the terms upon' which wo^ will not it aflmt again, and start upon a better voyage. . But to this it maj be said that the general government will not so let this negro government be circumvented.? There is misapprehension, I think, both as the attitude and power of the goneral government. It has not said that , the negroes of this State shall govern the white people. It has aaid that they shall have tho eleotive franchise, with the rights and powers that 01ay oonfer upon them, but tbey have not in terms been declared to be the instriunents of the general government in administerieg subjugation upon the white people of this State. ?ior oan ,it laako.tbat deolaratioo. Tho general government is the representative of a Democracy, and it cannot declare that any one people shall govern another, the representative ol a white Domocraoy, and cannot declare that negroes shall govern white people. A Democracy may be arbitrary and despotic?more arbitrary fcnd despotio in the enforce of a prcoept of its constitution than & single despot will dare to be. Anditoannot announce a principle at variance with its constitution; and while, therefore, the general govern, ment may practice on this Stato the simplest despotism, in enforcement of T)amni>rar? that all I UIU pilUVI|/lVO l/l arc equal, the Republican party would perishJ?apon the proposition, that the negroes and the whites io this State aro not equal, and that the negroes shall have a power that their irauchise oanuot give them. But if the goverment should intervene, aud on force the negro government, it oould not. It oould not make bidden at tax Bales; it could not make the people pay the negro tax. Its only ground for intervention would be the preservation of the public peace, and that unbroken, its offioo would be ended.'. Bat if it shall go further?if it shall undertake to administer a government?that government would, be iU sustain the State, it would of nCc&sity, through Ite officers, expend thin ad ve'reafy'negro government is the one absolute and intolerable cvi^ thtit at Icatt would bo abated by the simple refasul to respond to its exactions, and ijiat refusal,in buy judgment, sboi^J lie made at unce.Men dfoubHf there Would be the t/c-' cessary cbotjert. Hut,of thisthere dan: hardly. question. We must act. No one dpi be so mad as to believe it possible to live here under a negro government. Scarce any one can entertain the , hope of itself or of.Qongress there can be a change. It is without violence. It affords no pretext to the invocation of superior military force. It. propose* to do that which every one with interest inihia State desires to be clone; It proposes that ^djostaent of relations Selweea the; people of this I State whioh will relieve the general.government itself from ? moat em bar. rawing issno. It mee& tbe question, at the very poiut of contact. It must paralyse the assailant; and it is a measure, therefore, which we are all plccjgftd by every consideration of interest and of duty .Ao.adopt. And there 4s the ossurance of the adoption in the farther consideration that it addresses the interests of every one owning property in ihis State: There are/ew^wh^desire to^pay these. taxes, very few'wbp' can pay them without greauncqpyent-'. cnce?none who can pay them without the feeling that ibeyare submitting I9 an outrage; and that a Very large pdr^ tion of our people cannot' pay theui' at all; and without this measure must bf. left as victims to be stripped of what little of pruperty remaining. .

Then an idea oamo into her head, and she immediately put it in execution. She first took off bcr jacket to reach him with one ond; but it was too short, as tho yielding ico warned her when sho moved toward him and endeavored to throw him one end. What more oould she do? She hesitated a moment: then, slipping off her gaiters, both atookings were soon tied to the. end of the drcas and jacket and yet it wm too short Meanljtno, the young man was rapidly becoming | exhausted, and if ahe was to save hint no time was to be lost. For a moment her hands disappeared io the drapery I about hor waist, and then something fell on the ioe about hor feet-*-it was her hoop-skirt. This was quickly' severed into a half a dozen pieces, and added to the jaeket, dress and stockings, and, to her. great dolight,this made the line long enough to roaoh him. Bravely sho tugged at one end of it, while ho olutchcd tbo other ond with the rm'n of a man who know that was alt ?Vr " _ which stood botwecn him and eteruity. In ft few minutes she landed him safely on tho solid ioo, and then tbo red jaoket and dress were wrapped about her as best they could be, and the two started for homo, whero they arrived without being noticed by any ono. Few wcro the words spoken on the journey home j but they must have boon to tho purposo, as wo understand the wedding suits are ordered, and before the ice shall clear the lake this Spring they will bo married..
