SIR: In the midst of scenes pregnant with
trouble; of an epoch in the history of South
Carolina fearful 10 contemplate, you have re-
paired to Columbia, our ancient and time
honored capital, surrounded by rump con-
clavc Of hybrid niggers and renegade whites,
and have assembled in u body to represent
tie psople Of South Carolina as Legislative
bo ". You also, the Governor elect, have
beell inauguratcd, delivered yourself OF mass
of hum5ug, free-negro talk as I. message. and
really attempted 10 pat in execution the hor-
nble, cespised and aoorsive e-rigser-loving
laws enacted by an unlawful body Of scala
wags, representing South Carolina, in Con
st;fuiionul Conuention." Indeed, it was a
Constitutional Coavention!' Oh! shades of
Caliguls, OF Nero, OF France under ,Iacobin
rule The people (only the whites) will
tell you, GorsyaOr Scott, OF Cur poor, poverty
taxed State, you'd prefer absolute death. to a
government instituted and ruled by renegades
and negroes. We do no! (neverl, with Gods

You are very careful to recommend to the
hybrid assemblage requisition upon the
Uoited States War Department for tie States
quota of arms, with The view of organizing
aud arming negro militia before the military
protection is relieved, after civil government
is resumed. Well, this is decidedly rich /;
fully as much of the genuine Yankee of Penn
sylvana as We could have expected Negro
militia You say "our government must
rest upon obedience to law" Sc. But how,
il you have common sense, could you expect
obedience to law" if there be such thing
in our State as negro militia? We canuot,
ard will not. tolerate miserable negro mill
,ia. Enforce the order, if You will, sternly,
severely; but ace will not have peace, even
such a peace es we now have, no longer than
these brutal, deluded savages-the negro
.neIish-shal have been organized. No,
never! Then you may expect-and you
doubtless hope to see it-a collision between
our people aud the negroes. We will theR
have no country, no peace, no Jazaity ties to
prevent longer oppression by relentless JAG
obin enemy. God witnesseth that our people
shall forever afterwards resolve to destroy the
vile despotic rulers of our country. You
imo.s, Scott, that you have right to govern
or act as Governor OF, our dear State. Aud
By the bicssinFs OF God Almighty, you and
ycur party in ibe whole South shall be dis
c5mftted, despised, and; trust. destroyed.
The negroes could be made to do what Is
their plain duty, il. there mad not been outside
Yankee and inside renegade interference With
them, under Radical instruction. Democracy
will rule you yet, besides other Leip to cuF
