Ivor the information of the public and
for the purpn e ol' protecting the taxpay
ers of this State against a scheme which
bus been gotten up by certain Slate pflir
rials, by w hich certain men arc to make
a largo amount of money by defrauding
the pople, I wish to address to you a
few-words. A little more than one year
ago I was supported to the position ol
Auditor ofStnto, and since that time I
hiivc endeavored to du my duty in that
connection to, tlje hn-s nV .: - V-?
I low far I have'succeeded renmins for
thb pcXipTc to decide. Tili hVat action,
which', out (?I* my regular course ol (lutics,
I deem it incumbent upon pic to take,
was 'the pVev'? dt fori of the' MrctilatT?ii of the
lllue Itidgei scrip. This, I was repeatedly
told'by the (iiivcrnor, some one was going
to do; but after waiting until almost too
t?te, I learned that the action of the
Governor was simply for the purpose 'of
forcing John J. Patterson, the President
of the company, (<? pay certain claims ?
which lie! held 'against the road, in the
shape of a note of the company, w hich he
p fob tired in a way not likely t<> add to
the reputation fd'hri honest man. Warling,
us I have heretofore soul, until almost
too late, for some one to take' this matter
into the courts, I finally instituted the
necessary proceedings, with the sanction
of (lieGovernor. After proceedings had
been commenced and the usual necessary
inducements been oflcrcd his Excellency,
an effort was made by himself ami others
intcre'tcil. to induce me to withdraw the
suit. Ten thousand dollars in cash was
offered me by tine party the day that the
case came into court; and an indirect
otfer of $23,000 in scrip was subsequently
made by another partv, in case I would
consent to withdraw the suit. This, T, ol
course, refused ; and the matter ha? been
a bone of contention between us ever
since.
An effort was. made soon after the ad
journment of the Legislature, and contin
ued for some two or three months, fo in
duce mo to levy a special tax to pay the
interest upon the entire bonded debt.of
the State, legal and illegal, to bo collect
ed immediately This I iclosed, although
an inducement of ?20,000 in cash was
offered me, to either levy the tax or re
sign my position for the purpisc of alloy
ing Or. Ncaglc to make the levy; and,
at the tame time, I was informed that
Governor Scott had promised Dr. Ncaglc
to remove me, in case I refused to make
the levy. J again declined to comply
with their wishes.
Now, a second effort has been inado to
force mo to levy a tax to pay the intern t
upon the fraudulent debt of the State,ami
to include a levy of three mills upon tho
dollar to redeem $.100,000 of lho Blue
Ridge scrip?one quarter of the entire
issue?which has, by decision of his,
Honor .Judge A. ,1. tV.il In rd, of iho Su
premo Court, been decided unconstitu
tional and invalid, * ,
Now, while 1 deem it the. duty of every
good citizen to pay ail just and lawful
taxes,! do not '-consider it his duty'io'pny,
every tax1 that liiay \S? inipWd hy Ism
scrupulous men, Who chance to In in
power. Nor do I consider ? the dot- of
any officer who, through ? he force of pir
^umsfanccs, happens to be the appointee
or such men/ to blindly follow their dnitn
tion, without regard to right 01 wrang.
80 thinking, and acting as I consider it
the duty of a good officer 'and''an honest
wmu; I have again refused to comply ymli.
their wishes : and I haVo thin day rc(?. iv
cd an order removing nie fromi office. It
is but just tof myself to add, that I#as
informed by his Excellency the Governor
that I might retain the 'office, provided I
would make the levy. His Ex eel 11^*'
while" insisting upon the- levy of
taxes, informed me. that he knew .'he
money,' if*collected, would not bo applied
to the purpose, for which it, was lev *
but that that was none of Our biisin
that it was our duty to" levy the tax fjjnd
he based his argument upon thc.grbmid
that many outstanding claims were _j?p.\v
held against the Stale, (of which
the possessor to the amount of 640,001
he himself-informed ine,') and that the
Treasurer would have no funds to i
them. His" only other argument
that he had publicly pledged his worj
Henry Clews.cv. co. that thorax woul?
levied, and thatshouM it not lie, he w{
stand before the people in tho iigl
inconsistency.
This scheme is, as I have said, no t
movement; but while Auditor of the I
T succeeded in prcvcntinjg its constujj
tion. Iking no longer in such nbsj
I am powerless to protect your inU-i
and 1 now leave it to you to say,
t hk.plot, ho-fortfielt,uW '11"A,yryhfr
jet* tod to p'aV'Ihis enormous tax, amount
ing to twenty mills for State, and. in
this County, five am', one- half mills for
County?two and one-lujjf times."the tax
of last year ? or will you unite in a deter,
mined cllor*. fo prevent the continuance
id* the frauds w hich have impoverished
the people and disgraced the State?/fo
bring stich an eflV.rt to a successful issue,
1 pledge for my own part my most hear
ty co-operation.

to the 1?eopi'.e or tii|-: state,
'To ihr 7'tjtplc fnf South Curminn':
On the f?th of November flic people of]
South Carolina, in common with the peo
ple of all the United States w ill bo called
upon to elect a ['resident and Vice Presi
dent to.-crvc for the ensuing Jour ycari.
The course that has been pursued of
the present administration has been
subversive of all local beif-govcrniucu^
ami hostile to the rights and liberties <f
the citizen, as to have excited tho great;
est apprehension for the safely uf our
free institution-, and has aroused the iir
tclligcnt and Conservative masses of tb?
nation to a united und determined cflbif
to secure, if possible, the govcrnmctft
from the hands of its present audneioo]
and unscrupulous rulerr, and bring t
back to its constitutional bearings..
More than this?so alarming and wide
spread has been the grow th of corrupliol
in high places as to have tainted all tin
fountains of public justice, ami so recking
; the use of corrupt instrumentalities bj
public officials as to umlennind even
principle of honor and honesty in tlid
breasts of the people, ami prepare tin
way for tho rapid and altno.it surc.duca\
of all public virtue..
To arrest the spread of these evil am
dangerous tendencies, and to save to tin]
people, the s.tb.-lance as well as form of 1]
constitutional republic, the e'ui/.cns of all
classes ami panics have organized a holy
linn, indestructible alliance in behalf 01
purity iu government and sympathy um
reconciliation between sections.
The cardinal principles of this move
m< :sl were pi imulgaicd ?Venn Cincinnati
on the first of lu>t iWny, ami solcmly rati
fied by the Democracy of the whole Union
in general convention at 3Inilltnore tin
I the Oth of .July.
Gratz Brown, of Missouri, eb^o/j as tjvfc
standat4f bearers of ftiw cause, iwve^bcjdn
'bailed with patriotic enlnusiasju by tho
fr'onffs of law, order and well regulated
liberty throughout the entire land. Tho
principles which .have been emblazoned
upon our banner in tho hopcJuJ y?ords of
our illustrious candidate eanuytdie> but
must and will survive even defeat, if de
11
feat were possible.
South Carolina, recognizing this ns tho,
jonly movement in the present criRia cal
culated to o.verthrow a niouBtrous centra*
lization, ami to sceurCjdq the j) resent, gen?
oration tlio blessings o|. a/juYst!,auil-dVeo
government, has, through uc.ouveutfon of
her people, recorded her adhesion and
?dodged her support to the movement
While we. are ? J?otr permitted to speak
tbe language of assured victory to .our
people in tins Slnje, .it,Is .nevertheless/
our solemn duty to. adjure them ,by tbeici
enlightened joyc oV country.and their
devotion to its institutions,, to summon to.:
their aid that highest fortitude in nuu\f of
fidelity to principles even in tbemidst of

give to our candidates a manly, a gcurer

Animated by the foregoing sentiments.,
andprofoundly sensible of the rcsponsi-1
l)flity devolved upon theni, and to insure

The War in Arkansas. **
Our latest advices ii oin tho scat of w ar
about 0?eoola,;iVj-kdnsa.?., are up to.?nie
o'clock yesterday morning, at which time
the packet from St. Louis left the land
ing, having lain there several, hours
taking on goods, plunder and people, who
are lcmoring their property and families
to a more settled locality. The citizens
wcroKtill under alms and in appreh'em
sien of an attack by reinforcements . for
Fit/patrictv from over the Crittendcn
Counfy border. Tho jail was crowded*
with prisoners, captured along the dif
ferent mads south of the town by the'
parties', 'who pursued tho FLtrpatriek
l.iramr . Several !PI*r*Uly*ui lu-.m.-tbt
[woiiiidod, anil, of these, all save one bad
been sent to their old homes, to ho cared
for by their friends. The wounded fellow
in jail is said to have been, a very bad
man, who had contributed largely toward
inciting the blacks to insurrection and
engendering prt judicos ngninst the whites.
A number id' "Misfeoitrl 'peo-plo, who
came in to assist the citizens, htive re
turned, and those remaining hi the tow n
tire now quiet nnd orderly, but deter
mined to defend themselves should hostile
demons'trations 'lie made. They nitvc
plact d tl.'. in.-elvc-- under the orders ol'the
Sheriff, whom they obey implicitly, and
the'opinion expressed that there will be
no more trouble, unless a raid is attempt
ed by bad influences from Crittendcn
County.
The country bordering along theiivor,
below Osceola, is in a state of fermenting
excitement, und all sorts of wild rumors
are current rcgardimj: skirmishes, Unities,
preparations for war in adjacent' neigh
borhoods, and a Kpmd of citizens have
lx*clt scouring the country for several
I days, capturing the blacks who served
under Fitzpatrick, wnon found with arms
in their hands. All of the latter who
have been captured are meek and peni
tent, and declare they will not aghin bo
caught in stich company. Several claim
ed to have been "pressed into the gang'.
Reports arc current that a number of flic
blacks wcrCvsljot and killed while being
pursued after Fitzpatrick fled. .The lat
ter narrowly escaped capture on Thurs
day hist, having been chased so. closely
that he left his horse, one of Urn finest
in the country, ami his gun, a splendid
FTenry nuej in the bauds of his captors.
Fitzpatrick crossed in a skiff at Pecan
Point over to the Tennessee shore, in
company with two of his black brothers,
on Friday last, and on .Sunday, lie was in
the city. Sunday he went over to Mar'ion
to confer with tho county officials and
diners of his political friends. Sunday
night he is known to have been in caucus
with a number of persons, and .several
armed bands of blacks wi re prowling
around Marion, and had expressed a
desire to move northward towards Mis
sissippi County. All they desired was
leaders,*and word was sent-them to meet
at eight o'clock yesterday morning t?n
Gibbs' farm.juit back id'Bafdlfcy*8-land

As an illustration of the way things
aremanaged over in tYittcnden and Mis
sissippi counties, and the mean.-, used to
engender ill feeling between the blacks
and whites, the. following incident,^ re
lated: Some three weeks ago l.owis^who
is u candidate for Sheriff in Ciiltcpden,
visited one of tin- plantations near
? Bradley *s Landing to make a speech.
The farm hands left their work and col
lected to listen to his hnrapgue. Tie,
argued that'- a black man Vlniuljl^jiot

did. Their ' iittere-ts were antagonistic,
be said, und the landlords were alljtry
ing hrget ciintrol of the governmeiu of
the State aiul county so as f?Vdwfrai
ehise the blacks, stop them trout volY/ig,
and perhaps take iheir' lil^rPy' n-oni
