His Excellency R. K. Scott, Governor oj South Carolina : Dear Sir : Not having been present at the conference to which I was recently invited by your Eexcellency, I have thought it dfle to you, that I should as soon as it was in my power, submit to you the counsel, which in opinion, the present exigencies of ottr State call for. The remedy for on existing evil must depend upon the exact character of the evil; and the first step to be taken towards a proper application of a remedy is to observe carefully the nature aud cause of the evil. The leads ing fact which has probably induced pour action, is the formation of combinations in many of the upper counties if the State, which exhibit themselves acts of violonce upon those whom t_ * j Ci r ? a. l! ,nuy uuuuj m buujuuuj lur cahuui uiuuij Citation. There can be no difficulty n ascertaining the cause of these com)inations. It is undoubtedly the con? miction that the existioc Government p >f the State is utterly, corrupt; and hat it has failed in all the duties vhich are required at its hands?that here is no adequate security for life or , iroperty, and that the taxes laid by the ( iCgislature must eventuate in virtual onli8cation of the entire income of he citizeos. ? , Is this conviction well founded ? j l..The corrupt character of the Le- j islature of the State has been so dis> j i'octly evinced, that it may be set ] own us admitted facts. , 2. The failure to discharge tho du- j ies of government culminated in the ( ction of tho Legislature at its last , 2?sion upon the Chesterfield election. t "his action, following upon the pre- t ious election laws, which refused any j heck upon the majority, satisfied the i hite people of the State, that they had j 0 rights, roeognized by the Gotrern- j jent, and that they must,* therefore, . rotect themselves in the best way ley could. The arming oftthe militia, a nd exclusion of the whites from any ^ articipation, placed one classed dis- e ucrly abovo the other, and plainly shibitcd to* the whites that force t ould take the law. - c 8. Tl>o wasteful expenditure of the a ublic money, and the corrupt schemes G >r increasing the public debt, which ^ ave favor with the Legislature, pro- t 1 .i . r... f ivin in me luiuru au tuucuui^ lu- < r use of taxes, while corrupt offiocr?JL P&l) mycnuiv utamendmopt. \ 4. The formation of secret societies j mong tho colored people, uader the ^ aine of Union Leagues., have banded t lein together in ft secret organization, g ud while these societies render useless r nyappoalsto the Better judgment of v leir members, they naturally suggest 8 like organization among the whites E 3 their only mcan&f f defence. . These various evidences have settled { conviction in the minds of tho whites, ] iatvthey roust seek protection outside : P the existing Government, and as g our Excellency doubtless sces^ these t pile must result in aourchy or civil c ar, unle8Ssome remedy he speedily ap- c lied. - The active cause of all this*evil f i clearly the Legislature of the State. t here it all originates; there it has its g bode, and from thcnco it must be re- a loved before peace or security can en- j le. The obaracter of this body must t icrefore be changed. Instead of rep?5r>'nfiner ignorance and vice, it must o "o . o iprescnt knowolege and virtue. This t cannot do until you change its cod- , iitueucy. Thero is no possible method ? f reforming an agencj', while pricipol \ antinucs the same?and ignorance and t rejudice will never select for its agents s ae wise and the "good. Our troubles r ?sult from this cause, aod from neglect < f the great American aphorism, that nation without repesentation is tyrant j y. In our .present sjstem of State x lovernment, those who pay the taxes r avo no voice in the Government.? { 'his investigation clearly points to the { nly possible remedy, to wit: A change ( i the constituency which elects the ( /cgislature. Let this be improved, j nd the improvement of the other | jllows of course. A more intelligent ( ody of voters and one direcctly respon* ( iblo to taxes which are imposed by ( heir representatives, would speedlla rovide aremedy. Under their auslicos, an intelligent and virtuous La- j ;isluture would again make its the , aw8 of the land and the public , fficers appointed to administer them, ; rould aguin command public confilence, and ensure the peaco and tranjuility of the State. All this can be obtained by simply bllowing the lead of that State which >ur present rulers would regard as the fountain of politicul wisdom, and unending our constitution so as to conform tho qualifications of voters to that required in Massachusetts. Let the voters be only such as can read ind have paid some tnx for the support of the Government, and tho representatives will at ODpe change their character. Such a qualification in the voters would discriminate only against ignorance, and would place it in the power of every man to take part in the Government^ whatever may be his race or color. The difficulty of such an amendment arises from, the fact that it must find sufficient favor with the existing authorities to command a two-thirds vote. .This difficulty is real; but is it not woriji the effort to over-come it ? Without some such change the State must invitably drift into anarchy or civil war, awt?irely we already have bad a sufficient; experience of the evi of war lo induce every one to seek their avoidant' If yon,., sir, wojjld commence the ^ovementgj^an earnest appeal to the Legislature, immediately to submit the call of a-Con-, vention to thd? decision Of the people it is not at ifS'improbable that the movement may jfrcceed. It is true that it will take mixeb time, and that 'much- agitation must' ensne. But let eveiy^Bian weigh against these cahsidcratiftas, the danger which mn3t attfind any other coarse. Should, evenf'tfie violence which may be apprehended, be suppressed by military force, it is hot at all unlikely that, as their otfw remaining resource, the eDtire community will refuse to pay their taxeSftMyJ thy* where will bo tbo credit'"?W1 guvernthont of the State'( DoubtleSs, miaDy'bnd men will agitate against edeb a measure, and will endeavor, as heretofore, to presuade the ignorant dolored people that the wMtes will: agate reduce them to slavery. Beft your d2xeellencytwilt. be ; fully able to repel such 'attempts. Ion 'i know as I do/, end cantell them so, 1 that they owe their emancipation neither to your party nor to mine, but ' alone to God, th^ Supreme Disposer of ( events. You ca'u show'them President t Lincoln's proclamation of September, < 18G2, in which he undertook to rccog. I aize the right' of- the people of the Southern 8aatc? to hold their slaves, j if they would liy down their arma before tho ensuing first of January. I [t was, therefore, from the resolute* rcss of the Suuth, and not from the i ;enerosity of tbopNorth, that the Blaves ibtaioed their freedom. And even 1 low that freedom fctiosured 0Dty by 8 ,he amendment of the constitution of he United States, which was adopted c \tt fVia tvrViifa mon af fi r\n fit Pnrolinu I * i J v??? *? ???vw usvu u* MVUVU VUI VIIUU* Lrou would, therefore, be pble effectual- g y to remove tills hindrance to good eeling from the minds of the colored u teople. _ t Then, again, you "would bo able to p issure thcra of the kindly feeling with e vhioh they have always been regaud id by4hcir former masters, before the r icartlcss plunderer*, who aro now a nnking use ofhad misled and o imbittcred their .feelings.

The strongest motive vhich can be prescnted'to thcra for t uch patience, will be the earnest and iniiinrinn nf t.hfl amendment t< iroposed. The first- step towards calls tl ig a Convention u a vote .of the b jegblature, and as that body has ad- t ourncd, it will be necessnry to take r onio action, before its next meeting,' n o satisfy the people of the expediency w if waiting. If the leading members t< if the dominant party wjuld come fi orward and pledge their support to ii he measure, aad urge the adoption-of h amc, it would furnish such an assur- t! mce as would doubtless, restrain the h mpaticnce of those who are smarting b mder their present burthen. n On our side, then, we could, with s orae show of reason, oouscl our friends o o endurance. We could turn, their t uinds to consider other cases of a ^riotous national wrong, which pa- y ience had ovoucome. We could point b hem to the example of the noble y pirits who, after the endurance for c wenty years, of the tyranny of the g Quarts in England, brought about e m *?5 0 0 w jcacefully tho great revolution of ii 1688, and established English freedom lpoo a basi# from which it has 1; lever been 'moved. We can point d ,hem to tho American straggle against & ;axation without representation, which '< tontinucd for ten years before a resort p -o arms. With these examples before t hem, we wotld be ablo to persuade c :hem to await twd years for tho action )f a Convention, if wo could assure t :hem that action would remedy the jvils of which they complain. Persuaded js I am, that no other peaceable renjedy can be made avail* J iblc, I most earnestly address these views to tho serious consideration of ? your Excelleacy, and would urge ] them upon al! those who seek the per* 1 maocnt peace and welfare of the State. * With mich respect, lour obedient servant, C.
