*? i .. Division Movement. . t
At a public meeting beld in Aiken on
Tuesday, the l'3tb of November, to take
into cotwWeration the propriety and practU
?ability of dividing Uaruwell and other
largo Districts, on motion of,Jas? I'ervis,
?*q., Dr. J. G. Howe, was called to thw Chair,
. *?nd E. J. C. Wood, Dr. B. A. Rodriguea
i. and F. L. Walker, were appointed Secretaries.
.
' The Chairman then explained the object
of the meeting in a few brief and pettinent
Temarks, when on motion of Captain Gideon
Evans, It was
.Resolved, That a Committee of twentyone
bo appointed by the Chair to prepare
and report business for the consideration of
the meeting, whereupon the Chairman nam.
cd tUo followiug gentlemen, as constituting
tiro. ?aid Committee: Captaiu S. S. Evans,
- r John Greer, Dr. R. G. Toole, J. T. .Wise,
Dr. J. C. W. McDonald, Col. J. Marsh,
Milledge Ilawkerson, Abnor W. Atkinson,
Benj. Ilard, W. Woodard, Sr., M. T. Mart
shall, Geo. Robinson Matheney, Allen Franklin,
A. Hatcher, J. D. Pluukett, Drayton
Gantt, It. Steedinan, Jphn Courtney, F Kennedy
and Jauies Kitchen.
Tlie Committee then .retired, and after a
brief absence made the following report
through their Chairman.
Your committee would call the attention
of the meeting, to the present disproportionate
representation of tne Parishes and the
Districts proper; or in the common parlance
of the day of the Low and Up-coun
iry; anci would call attention to a few statistical
facts drawn from recent official ro-,
turns. *
* The Varisli Districts nvo six in number,
viz: Beaufort^ Colleton, Charleston (including
the city,) Georgetown, Sunipter, and
Orangeburg. The remaining 23 judicial
districts, constitute what is generally called
the" Up-country or Districts proper.
The whole tax-paying territory of the
Parish Districts is only 8,132 square miles:
M while that of the Up-country is 18,528
square miles ; or more than twice as much
as that of the parishes.
- The white population of the parish districts
in 1850, was but 58,651; whilst that i
of the Up-country was 221,734.
Basing the calculation as totlio property
of the section?, upon the last federal census,
and lite last annual roport of the Compttoiler-General,
and with reference to the five
. $> ''' items of lands, implements and machinery,
QiVfe stock, 'slaves and town lots, including
the city of Charleston, and estimating slnves
iat'$500 per head, the wealth of the two
f sections stands as fullows:
Parishes Si 32,044,762
Up-country 186,013,688 |
| The number of slaves upon which taxes I
were paid last year is as follows :
? Parishes. 160,753
fc-; tt ---
j_ r ujwwuniry.' 221,847
; - ; The six Parish Districts above named
J?, "bave twenty three Senators in the Legislature,
while the Up-country have but the
^ same number therefore every 353 square
.miles of tax-paying territory in the Parishes
' has a Senator, whereas only one Senator is
L , allowed to ever 805 square miles of such
r . territory in the.Up-country. Again, every
iP? 2550 white inhabitants of the Parishes
V have a Senatnor; whereas only one Scna
Jt tor is assigned to every 9040 white inhabitants
of the Districts proper. Furthermore,
mF every $5,741,076 of property in the Parishcs
is represented by a Senator; whereas
Mt;. only one Senator is permitted to every $8,087,551
of the Districts. So likewise every
<3-989 slaves in the Parishes have a Senator;
,t.. -whereas only one Senator is given to every
9645 slaves of the UD-conntrv.
R -v" Edgefield and Barnwell have moro than
It" * 3100 square miles of tax-paying territory,
M. and allowing a proper margin for vacant
lands, for defective surveys, for uundr reK'V
turns by some freeholders, and for no returns
at all by others, to avoid payment of
U-'m taxes, it is believed that these Districts contain
at least 35,000 square miles of surface.
V K The white population of Edgefield and
V aL Barnwell, -was 28,612 in the year 1850;
/Jm and the aggrgate property of- the two Dis/;
tricts is $29, 828,076, according to the last
Kj-- federal Census, a?id the last annual report
jr of the Comptroller-General of this State,
I' estimated upon the.-basis before indicated.
Edgefield and Barnwell likewise paid taxes
, in *?<?? 1 ae* t? no -
vuwjvoti .out, lur ou,uuz Biavea.
! These two districts could be divided, so as
f to form two new districts, and give either of
jtfj? <ha four districts over 80$?quare mijes of
r> -territory; over 7,000 white inhabitants'; and
jsV over $7,000,000 of property; which'is more
, (territory, more white population and more
jgf: <jk; wealth than each of half the presont^Judicial
|? Districts in the State.
Edgefield and Barnwell then, have far
; m6retbftn sufficienH&ritory, wealth population
or slave*, than Would entitle them to
t>. '. four Senators, according to the ratio of Sen*
[r atari al representation in the Parishes.
K ',' % There may be come slight <prrorfe in tbeget
E. - - estimates, but your committee feel oonfidmt
| that they will-not materially change the
^ icsuiti una your committee insiflt that the I
V fiveitenw-fcrabraced in the,above calcula&
%L. < tioa, are tbe oftlV legitpjadr indices of the
relative wealth of the two actions,
II
^ .V . n^of^gefi^td and Barn
|:v, 2^,
There is one point of view that should be
taken nnd which has been generally overlooked,
in regard to this subject; that your
Committee would cull to tho espicial attentio^i
of tho meeting. It is this: As the
Parishes have an equal representation in the
Senate with the Districts, and have 71,094
slave* lew than the 1 tistricts, it is clear that
they haVp<Senatoviul representation for 71,004
lees than they possess, which would be
equivalent to tho parishes owning 100,753
plus 35,647 equaling 190,290, and the districts
owing 221,847 ininus ,'{5,547,equaling
180,300, which any school boy will prove
fa equal to having a Senatorial representation
on .142,188 slaves more than they
should have; which might In; illustrated in
this manner : A and. 15 enter into a Coin
inercial Partnership, each putting in $4000
capital, but by soinc chicanery It manages to
appropriate tlie profits on 1000 of A's rsipital;
it is plain that 13 derives profit front
5000, whilst A would receive profit from
only 3000, which would bo $2000 less
than B.
Taking tbo above data, it will be seen
that tho Districts would bo entitled to
Senators, if the Senatorial leprcsentation was
based on slaves; and to give them the prexent
projtorlional representation of tho Parishes
it would require 41 Senators.
Thus also, it could V>e shown that if the
Senatorial representation was based on
! wealth, the Districts would likewise bo enti- '
tied to 32 Senators, and according to the
"present proportional representation of the
Parishes" the Districts ought to have 41
Seuators. Again, if based upon territory
I the Districts would have 53 Senators; and,
j if according to the "present proportional
! representation of the Parishes," they would
Have 81 Senators.
And lastly, if the Senatorial representation
was based upon white population, the
Districts would bo entitled to 87 Senators; (
and if, Recording to the present proportional
representation of the Parishes, the Districts
should have 151 Senators.
Edgefield, Barnwell and Sumpter are the
only three rural districts whose great extent
of population and wealth, require them to
have a two week's court, which is a nuisance
that should not longer bo bon e by a free
people. And apart from the matter of litigation,
a voluntary observance of the law, ,
in these three districts, is a grievous oppression,
to guardians, executors, administrators,
trustees, jurors, witnesses, commissioners,
and citizens generally. Your committee
1.. 1
linn iiciiuer miiu nor space to present nil
; the arguments, in Bupportof dividing Edge- 1
field and Barnwell, so as to form the two
new districts proposed. Inasmuch as the ,
Courthouse of Edgefield District is situated (
in a non-central position, so as seriously to
incommode that portion of the people of '
that district, residing on the Saluda side of
it, and inasmuch as Edgefield has about
4000 more whi^ inhabitants than Barnwell, 1
and iuasmucb ns we believe, that every see- 1
tion of both districts would be benefitted by <
the establishment of two new districts, we
recommend the following boundaries of
the proposed districts to your consideration.
Beginning at the point where tho line be* ;
tween Edgefield and Abbeville intersects '
the Saluda River, thence down the said river
to the Lexington line, thence along said line .
to where McTyer Creek intersects it?thence
across Edgefield District to where Beaver !
n n?1_ ' * * :
jufum v^retJK iniersects mo line dividing 1
Edgefield and Abbeville?then along the '
said line to the starting point. The area '
included, to constitute ono new District to
be called "Butler District." 1
The other new District to bo bounded as 1
follows: beginning at the mouth of the 1
Upper Threw Runa in Barnwell ; thence up 1
the said stream along the Tinker Creek
tributary to its source; thence across to the
head of Pond Branch, down said branch to j
where it empties into South Edisto, at Davis a
or Guigard'e bridge; thence along the road j
from said bridge to where it intersects the
Charleston and Ninety-Six Road in Orange e
parish; thence up said road to Sawyer's r
Post Office in Lexington; thence to where t
McTyer creek intersects the Lexington and t
Edgefield line; thence across Edgefield to
the source of Foxe's Creek; thence down
said creek to Savannah River; thence down
the eaid river to the initial point Tlio area N
included to embrace the other new district,
to bo filled the "District of Calhoun," with 3
a'Court House at Aiken. *
. As embodying the views of your Com- i
tnittee, with reference to the object of tbifc i
meeting and the beat policy to be pursued <
for effecting that object, we respectfully
submit the following resolutions: > ?
1. Resolved, That in the opinion of this 1
meeting the time has arrived when Edge- j
field and Barnwell should be both politically t
'knd judicially divided, so as to form two ,
new, separate, and independent Districts,
with a Court House at Aiken, and another 1
at or near the centre of the Saluda Regiment,
with boundaries as indicated in the ]
preamble. * ]
2. Resolved. Tlinl-in nil fatiiiw AWinnt
for the Legislature or Congress, Tor offices .
of honor or profit, or'for offices civil oivmili- 1
tary, W6 will- iDvnriably vote for tb? mail 1
or .set of rtien, moot favorable to the division
of afcjd districts. X
S. Rttalved. Thai we will never cease to
agHpjp this question until oar wrongs are f
redressed, and tha^we e&nestly entreat all ,
the citiztfnaof both Districts but particularly
those embraced within the boundaries 6f
the proposed new Districts, to unite with us '
In enforcing our right* at the ballot bet. ; , I
~ 4. JlMolved, That we exhort the division- j
isto of Sujpopter and thoae of the other lar^ ^
0. Resolved, That tbo whole up-country
should unite its fbrocs on every joint ballot
in the Legislature, to exclude nil citizens of
the Parishes from office, until they shall
have consented to a inore equitable adjustment
of our representative system and the
reorganization of our over large and over
populous judicial and electoral districts.
7. Resolved, That.in case our fellow citizens
of the up-country"3itter from us in the
policy 01 the 6th resolution, that then the
compromise of 1808 should ho extended, so
as to meet the views of both the up and low
country, by establishing new districts of
convenient dimensions in the former, and
giving each a new senator, and by forming
new senatorial districts in the larger parishes
of the latter, so as still to lot Charleston
and tho other parish districts have the control
of tho Senate, or, in other words, tho
line 30 30 might bo extended.
8. Resolved, That the proceedings of
this meeting bo published in the Charleston
Courier, and nil tho other papers in the
Stnto. be requested to copy.

Savannah Valley Railroad. ,
A mkktino of the Stockholders of the
Savannah Valley Railroad was held in An- {
ierson last week. ;
We learn that it was resolved to apply j
'or an, ameodmentto the jeharter giving
he Company power to cross'th$ river at a ]
[joint above Hamburg. and,
I
As we have nil along declared, wo should
bo pleased to see the enterprise carried out,
even though the road (as a last resort)
should he forced to cross our borders and
empty its treasures into the lap of another
(but sister) State. If we remember rightly,
at the last session of the Legislature, when
state aid was invoked, objections were
urged upon this very ground. We frankly
admit that wo prefer to see railroads coming
in rather than go>nq out of our State, but
at the8ame time ... .J not have the face to
mako such preference an objection to the
giving of aid to an enterprise highly desirable
to many of our own citizens, and certainly
contributive to the general wealth
and character of the State and of the South.
With what' sort of graco could we invoke
the co-operation of Tennessee or North
Carolina in the erection of a Rabun Gap
or a Frcnch Broad road from their midst
into our borders, and then object to a similar
enterprise taking a different direction 1
Would it not be an exhibition of selfishness
too palpable for South Carolinians to be
tray? ^
But really the mere matter of running
the road into Augusta cannot affect, to any
great extent, the general interests of the
State or the local interests of any similar
railroad enterprise. The trade carried by
it into Augusta will eventually find its way
to our own metropolis, unless other nrtd
nearer markets offer superior inducements.
And the Greenville aud Columbia Road
(the only immediate competitor) need not
deprecate the results of a competition, because
the completion of the Rabun Gap
Rond will throw into our borders abundant
employment for both. If we could conceive
otherwise, we confess 'it would be difficult
for us to utter a hearty "God speed" to the
Valley Road, for we should very much regret
to see the first pioneer of steam in
upper Carolina robbed of the rewards so
justly due its patient, self-sacrificing and
patriotic promoters.
Viewing it, then, as an enterprise promising
great conveniences to many of onr
citizens who are now without them, as a
contribution to tho noble work of Southern
improvement, and as unlikely to affect tho
ultimate prosperity of an older and deserving
neighbor, we do sincerely hope the Legislature
will not hesitate to grant the desired
amendment, and that the Savannah
Valley Ilailroad will ere long become a
reality. '?
Maternal Influence.?Gov. Briircrs. of
Massachusetts, recently related the following
incident. After reading with great
interest the letters of John Quincy Adams'
mother, he ono day went over to his seat
in Congress and said to him, "Mr. Adnms,
I have found ont who made you" What
do you mean V said lie. "I bnvc been
reading the letters of your mother," was
his reply. With a flashing eye and glowing
face he started up, and in bis peculiar
nnd emphatic manner said, "Yea, Briggs, all
that is good in mo I owe to my mother."
