sidcratc persons, excited by intense party feel
ing, made it my duty to issue the late procla-
nation, calling upon all good and true men,
without respect to political predictions to
unite In a determination to discountcnancc and
dcnounce awlessness and violence, and in all
effort to recover and maintain the good name
that has heretofore been the heritage and the
pride Of our beloved State. It is now NY
pleasing duty to congratulate you upon tho
beneficial results that have ensued from the
admirable and well.timcd address of General
Hampton and tho Executive Committee to the
Democratic party. In honest and impressive
terms they have called OIL the people to sup
port the laws, oproserve the peace, and to de-
nounce those crimes which have so recently
been committed in some portions of our State
These patriotic counsels cannot fail Of having
n wide and wholesome influence in modcratng
the yehcmence of feeling Of those to whom
they are authoritativcly addressed, while thoy
have quictcd the arprchcnsions aud conciliatcd
the respect and good will Of tlleir political op-
ponents. This is certainly just cause Of con-
graduation to every woll-wsher of the Stato
and it gives me unieignod pleasure to ackuowl-
edge it, and to earnestly invoke the co opera
ton of every mcnbcr Of the Republican party
i'll reciprocating, to the fullest extent, the pa
oidc policy SO admirably inculcatcd by the
Democratic leaders. Let acrimonious aud ir-
ritating discussions bc avoided, and appeals be
made to the intelligence and reason, and not to
the fears or passions, of the community DIFF
fer as VIC may in political sentiments, it is the
dictate alike Of wisdom and patriotism for all
to appeal to, and conidc III the efficacy Of
peaceful remedies for political evils, actual or
supposed. Let "bcar and forbcar" be our
maxim, and so shall the peace, prosperity and
honor Of our beloved State be maintained and
perpctuated, and her time -honored cscutcheon
will be preserved, unsullied and undimmcd, in
all its original purity aud lustre.

Governor.

49, A largo and respectable number of the citi-
zcns of Anderson assembled in the Courthouse
on tho 22d inst, to consider the charges of
Governor Scott against that district, as con-
taiucd i'll his proclamation of the 2lst instant.
The meeting was organized by calling Judge
Munro to the chair, and w. W. Humphreys to
act ms secretary. Upon motion, committee
was appointed to take into consideration the
proclamation Of Governor Scott, and TO report
to an adjourned meeting. Under tho motion,
the following gentlemen were appointed: Cap

Judge alunro was added to the committee.
The meeting then adjourned to meet on the
following day, at II o'clock, to hear the report
Of the committee.
OcToBER 23.-Thc meeting, pursuant to ad-
journmcnt, rcassembled in the court room,
when the following report was submitted by
the committee, through its chairman, and
unanimously adopted:
We, the undersigned, committee in behalf
of the citizens of Anderson County, to whom
the proclamation Of Governor Scott was re-
fcrrcd, beg leave to report that, strange and in
credible as such charges may appear to MS, We
will not undertake to say that information of
the same character has not been conveyed to
the Executive Department, in relation to this
county; especially when We know that there
are so many motives, for party purposes, to
misreprcsent.
Your committee have spared no pains in l,-
vcstigating each and every one of the charges,
and, with confidence, declare that they are as
utterly groundlcss as they are false. In no in-
stance have the "oficers Of the law been set
ut deiiance;" and, as to the allegation that
peaceful and u-offcnding citizens arc murder
cd i'll cold blood and the murdcrers not only
permitted, but aided to escape from justice"
we positively affirm that there has not been IL
homicide committed iii this county since, and
for some time before, tle Inauguration of Gov
crnOr Scott. Your committee do not know
what is intended by the charge that "l;.miles
have been forced to abandon their homes
through fear Of violence" nor do VIC know of
an instance in WHICH the "authority of the
State Government has been denied"
Your committee arc perfectly satisfied that
peace and good order arc earnestly desired by
tho people Of this county; and as tho best
means Of securing the same, that they are de-
tcrmincd to yield obedience to the authority of
the State government, unless it be changed by
peaceful and constitutional means.
In reference to the charge of athrcats of
violence, and even Of death, against prominent
members of the Republican party who shah
attempt to visit this county for the purpose Of
discussing the political questions Of the day."
your committee beg leave to submit the follow
