Thus has it been shown, in the Wpoyc analy-
sis, ow injuriously this Constitution must
infect tho interests of the white man, and how
inconsistent it must prove with the peace and
prosperity of tho State. But, in addition to
this, the Committee believe that it can be
shown that the said Constitution is not the less
injurious to the very class-to wit: the bluck
pcople-whom it seemed most especially to
to have been designed to benefit. On this
point, the Committee ask leave to invite atten-
tion to the comments Of the Hon A. Burt, Que
OF the ablcst lawyels of the State, and man
OF the highest character, and Of well known
political conservatism. The following is his
language on the subject of the provisions Of
the new Constitution, which confer the power
of taXation:
IAN analysis of the provisions of tho new
Constitution, which confer tho power Of taxa
ton, have not doubt, will assure any candid
mind that no people on this continent can en-
durc tho burdens which it imposes. The prin-
ciplc which pcrvades tbat entire instrument is
that all taxation, except for single purpose,
shall be imposed upon real estate and upon the
income from the sulc of merchandise. In es-
timating tho inequality of taxation, VIC canno,
omit the fact OF the great divcsity between tho
two races which inhabt the State. At this
moment the taxable property is held by one
race, and under that Constitution the political
power is vested exclusively in the other Not
only are the ordinary appropriations for the
civil service of the State imposed upon the
property held by the smaller number, but the
other race, as race, is at the present moment
entirely exempt for the support of public
schools. a very largo number of the race
which own the taxable property are disfran-
chlsed-cannot vote, and cannot even
hold tho humblcst Office created by- that
Constitution; while all others without rcfe-
renee to property, to educational quailica
ton, to past citizenship, or any other qualifca.
tiun, arc allowed to vote Need I saw that this
is n condition of things Which the world never
before witnessed. Your ancestors proclaimed
sentiment which has thrilled throurhout
every American heart reached to distant coun-
tries, and been incorporated into their Consti-
tuition nnd laws 1t is this, that tuxation with
representation is tyranny Now, not only
is u large class of property holders in South
Carolina disqualified to vote or hold Office, but
those who may vote or hold Office are not re-
.quircd to have any property qualification or to
know letter OF tho alphabet, as many Of them
will not know. l say that u more arrant and
infamous spointion of class was never de-
signed by any country on the face of tho earth.

A PRISONER neseasd By crowd Of
NeerOes.

Alsck Reed, negro, was committed to
prison by Squire Herman this morning.
In the absence Of the regular constable,
Mr.. J. B. Reid, the prosecutor, volun-
,eered to take Aleck TO Jail, and give him
into the custody Of the county jailer.
The Squire accepted Mr.. Reds offer,
and placed the miftiRus for Alexis
committal 10 his hands. Mr.. Reid
started with bic prisoner, but before he
reached the Jail a crowd Of negroes had
surrounded him, and by threats
and the use Of brickbats COM
PEELED him to surrender Aleck.
The negro was no sooner loose than
be gave "leg BAIL" and was out Of sight
10 an instant. The rescuers, however,
continued to crowd about Mr.. Reid, in-
suit him, and batter him with blows.
How far this riotous treatment would
have gone, had not posse Of police ar
rived, is difficult to tell. The officers, on
finding what had happened, attempted to
dispense the darkies, but they, in turn,
received rough handling. No shots,
however, were fred, although it appears
several Of the rescusrs had pistols hid up
their sleeves. Perry Robinson and Han
nibal Logan, two of the ringleaders, we're
arrested and lodged in the stationhouse.
