From the Edgefeld Advertiserl
The people of Edgefeld are fully determined
to nav no more taxes during the year 1871,
unless they are forced to do 30 by bayonets In
the hands of Federal soldiers. We know the
sentiment of our people on this Internal tax
business. ''s''; -.'i-.''=i i', ia
from the Barnwen Journal .;.:si
We have counselled submission thus far, but
we do so no longer, for the period has ,now
certainly come when our people should act In
an organized and determined manner; and re-
fuse to submit any longer to the present gov
ernment. of incar1ate villany and corruption.
The most probably successful remedy, without
violating the public peace, lies In the absolute
refusal :of our. property holders toiipay one
cent Of tax to the present State, government.
The property holders furnish. the means BY
which the corruption of the officials is ell
couraged and their robberies are supplied, and
by Withholding these means the wheels of
government can be elogged. They should a..
semble at certain points In every county, and
agree and determine to resist all taxation on
the part Of the State. e' . e.:i 20 ...far

cannot say. We only are convinced that the
present government is q failure, and there

rotten, wicked, corrupt and degrading re.
gime must be reformed Or overthrown,
and we see no practical method Of &C

times, flung OF the proprietary government,

would fling light upon the situation. Espe.

tion Of the Federal government, which some
people take for granted will forever sustain
ignorance, robbery, degradation and vice. We
must give Congress another chance for recon-
