ttentioa Citizens Of Eewbesry,

MASS MEETING.
3, Attention Citizens Of Eewbesry,
Upon consultation, we make TIC an
nouucemens that there will be 4
Mass MEETING
or THE CITIZENS OF NEwEEERY,
IRRESPECTIVE OF Color, AT TIE CouRT
uorsE, on TUE FIRST MONDAY, SALE DAY
IN JUNE,
for the purpose Of appointing suitable
delegates to attend the Convention
to be held in Columbia on the 18th
of June. All citizens Of Ncwberry
County, therefore, white and co!ored,
who ARE OPPOSED TO HIGH TAXATION, AND
IN FAVOR OF AN HONEST AND ECONOMICAL
ADMINISTRATION OF THE STATE GOVERN.
MESr, are earnestly invited to meet, and
take part in this first step of reform and
publication And need we urge upon
the people to come out on this occasion ?
need we enter into details of the great
wrongs, the monstrous frauds now being
pe-pctrated, and which by an earnest,
determined, and united effort, can be
checked? 1t is scarcely necessary
The facts are apparent, and the result
will be disastrous ruin if the people do
no, rise in their nil ght and determine
that this great iniquity shall no longer
exist. Every thing that is hclj sacred
is at stake; the country is paralyzed
with grievous taxation and unscrupu-
ious power. Crimc Of every descrip-
tion goes unpunisled law and order are
obsolete terms while bribery, corrup-
,ion and theft, arc the governing princi-
pies in high places. And all this must
be stopped, aud it will be stopped. The
day is dawning now, and the morning
star Of dcIiverance is already beginning
to shine; already is the Republican par
,y showing signs of diSintegration, and
it is our time to take advantage of this
favorable turn in the tide, and push for
ward to success. The loaves and fishes
have been too unequally divided, and
have been appropriated too prodigally,
and those WHO have been shared out Of
q part of the spoils are jealous and in
dienant, while the enormous drain
through taxation is taking the scales
from the eyes of all. Every man, white
and black, pays for all this, and the
poorer the man the heavier falls the bur-
den. 1t is tie peoples hard earned
money which goes to fatten up the
thieves, and as long as they are permit
ted to hold the reins, the tighter will
they be drawn and the greater the de-
mand for mc-ey.
Radical papers say "that the Republi-
can party has met with signal defeat
in the State of New York, and that they
are completely demoralized, and which |
is due in part to the lncapac1ty ana COR
ruption of its local leaders. and what
Grant has done in New York, Scott is
doing in South Carolina. The best thing
for the South Carolina Radicals, is to
pitch Scott overheard, and coalesce with
the Reform party" This is healthy ad,
mission.
Remember the mass meeting on sale
day-white and black-and all attend,
and let the right men hc appointed to at
tend the Convc-..o,..
