Letter of 0. G-. Memminger.
Charleston, March 24,1271.
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

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. These, g
nd other toptieOa whioh will readily
ccur to yoa, will no jdonbt enable yon a
o influence the .. action of the colored f
leartless despotism which thqjr see
tomipcering o*er them, it will require e
he strongest effort of patience to
wait a remedy which will require so
uuch time. 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,

Affecting Scene.?When Mrs. 1
Thomas Jeffe|6on Randolph was buried
tho other day, tho following scene was
witnessed, we quota irom the 1
Charlottesvilb Intelligencer:
Tho body had been committed,
earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to '
dust : then followed a touching and 1
affecting scene. As Col. Randolph,
tho husband; oftbo deceased, stood at
the head of the open grave, his former ;
slaves gathered iround him and sang
~.:?k footing nn<i favor that heantrful
ntvu *vv..-0 ?
hymn of Dr. Wat;s? <
"Am I a ?oldrelof the Cross?
A follower oflhe I^amb?
And shall I feiirlo own His onuse,
Or blush to spetk|His name."
It was the last tribute of respect and
affection they coulii pay the memory of
their old and belov? Christian mistress,
