. The Taxpayers Memorial.

~ the Senate and House Of Rspre-
sentattces Of the Congress Of the
United States:
The memorial Of the taxpayers and
other citizens of South Carolina re-
spectfuNy showeth
That upon the reconstruction Of the
State Government, and the admission
of Senators and Representatives into
the CONGRESS of the United States, it
was doubtless intended by Congress, as
it was expected by them, that they
would become partskers of the rights
enjoyed by citizens Of the United
States and of other State Governments.
The history of the country teaches
that taxation without representation is
tyranny; our revolutionary fathers
combined to resist such tyranny; and
VIC feel assured that it was never the
intention of the sons of those men to
allow this very system to be fastened
upon ANY of their fellow. citizens. It
has, nevertheless, come to pass that
the Government established in South
Carolina, under the legislation Of Con-
gress, has been made the instrument
of eEscting this moastrous oppression.
That department of the State Govern
rient which exercises the taxing pow
er is administered by those who own 3
mere fraction Of the property of the
State. Seven years have elapsed since
; the reconstruction of the State Gov
erument and during that period: Of
the property taxed. a majority Of the
members of the Legislature owned no
part whatsoever, and the remaining
members owned so little that their pay
as members counterbslanced their eu-
tire interest as property holders. The
result is that those owning the proper
ty have no voice in the Government,
and those imposing the taxes no share
in the burden thereof; the taxes have
advanced yearly until. in many cases,
they consume mere than one-half Of the
income from the property taxed. The
annual expenses Of the Government
have advanced from 100000 before
the war to s2,5o0,o00 at the present
time. The following comparison OF
leading items Of expenditure will best
exhibit the change:

The Tax Payers Union.

The want of coacert of action has
been realized by the people of South
Carolina to be fraught with evil.
Heretofore, however zealously au in
dividual may work to redecu, the fallen
fortunes Of his State he would not
with certainty count upon anything
like unanimous support from his
fellow sufferers, Every man has
thought of himself alone and given
no care to the condition Of his neigh
Dor. If one was disposed to seek
some means of redress for the many
political wrongs which surround US,
others thought it would be good
thing if he succeeded, but that they
would hold off and see how he came
out. Self has been the only proml
nent object. Men have forgotten that
they have duty to perform to their
State ~ we'll as to themselves, and
thst the best way to benefit themselves
is to remove the obstacles in the way
Of the prosperity Of the State. We
lack union and action. The fruit of
this policy is seen in taxation that
is con6scatiug our lands, in public
peculstion. in the audacity of uupun-
ished oficisls, in the dishonest admins
tratiou Of government generally.
Now the Taxpayers Convention has
presented an opportunity for union by
making provision for the organization
Of Tax Unions throughout the State
by the following resolutions:
ReSoiced, That the Executive Com
mittee be empowered to prepare sys
tem Of organization Of Tax Unions
throughout the State. with authority
to take all necessary steps for carrying
the same into effect.
Rseolced, That the delegations
from the several Counties represented
in this convention be constituted com-
lnittees for their respective Counties,
and charged with the duty of organ
izing Tax Unions therein, in accord
ance with the plan to be promulgated
by the Executive Committee Of this
convention; that the said delegations
have authority to fill any vacancies
that msy occur, and to elect Chairmeu
thereof, whose names shall be reported
to the Executive Committee.
Their object is the uniting Of all
men who want less taxation, honest
government, and the punishment of
guilty officials. These considerations
are surely enough to unite all the men
in the State, except those to whom
the Union is an object of terror. 1t
is to embrace the black mall as well as
the white man, the republican as well
as the democrat.
1t remains to be seen what action
the people will take in the matter
We have surely learned by painful
experience that delay and passiveism
are dangerous. Let Us have no more
of them. Let Tax Unions spread over
the State like the swift marching ar,
my of the Grangers. The necessity
that called forth the Convention should
sustain it in it's actions. OF what
avail is any body Of representatives, ii
their constituents annul their proceed
in2s by listloss indifference? Just as
soon Is the Committee promul gstes
the constitution aud bye-laws under
which the Unions will act, We hope
Newberry County will organize.-
Greenbseks as well as energy Will be
required, and both Of these have often
been expended III Il far less worthy
cause.

champion fights the intruder until it either

the physical energies OF the puIicnt. thereby
helping the disorder or should it reinforce
the vitality Of the patien. and thereby assist
in qnclling the aiIment? OF course the prop.
cr answer to This question must be obvious to
every one above the gra IL Of an idiot or lu-
natic, ami hence it follows ihatth weak and

yigoratins and vi,alizing his cncryated frame
with H0S.ctter'4 Stomach Bi,terS, must be

nothing short Of ilnbeclity or insanity could

ness aud nervous pr0stratlon, to take day
after day powerful doses Of some drastic pur-
gatire in eh"pe Of f2aining strength thereby.
Although cllarntanS may advertise prepara-

Of the restorative rs an inyigorant and an

effect upon the diSordcrel liver, renders ii
most efficient remedy for complaints of the
