What Good Can tho ,Tax-Payers' Con-
Ventlon Do

vcntlon DOT
Mr.. EDITOR: This question is fre-
quently asked, and propose to answer
Is ye-y briefly.
/. The convention may make full
detailed statement of our wrongs, op-
pressions and grievances, which must
have moral influence on public opinion
throughout the United States with all
political porties. The convention can
show the enormous taxation imposed on
the taxpayers and property-holders of
South Carolina, who have no voice or
control in assessing and levying these
taxes. They can expose the manner in
which fraudulent bonds and fraudulent
pay certificates have been issued. They
con set forth tho corruption and reok-
lcssness of the Legislature AID Slate
officials.
2. They can provide the ways and
means of having arrested and hronGht
20 justice the rogucs aud swindlers who
have been pirnting ON the finances Of
the State for the last five or six years.
This is, perhaps, the greatest good they
can do the public, and it should bo done
energetically and boldly ut once.
3. Let them adopt some scheme Of in
ducing foreign immigrants to come into
the State and settle amongst us. This
will have most salutary influence on
the future of tho State, but give no
Immediate relief
1. They should impress on the tax
payers and property-holders throughout
tho State tho absolute necessity of om
ploying and renting their lands to those
only who will vote for honest and capa-
bic members Of the Legislature aud
hi m 1sc1c Ill
ought to bo public spirit and patriotism
to adopt this great and effectual mode of
relief. 1t is Infinitely better that our
lands be idle than that we should CONT
nue. to live under such State Govern
ment as We have at present. am salts
fled that this would effect all Immediate
change in our rulers, aud nothing else
can. It is in vain to look TO Congress
for redress. They have no power to
give relief, and no inclination to DO SO,
if they had tho power. There is no
earthly doubt that VIC should have been
infinitely better OF had We continued
under military rule after tho war mas
over. But it is absurd 10 ask Congress
to abolish or change our State Govern
ment.
3. Let the convention maturelv con
slider what taxes are necessary to dGfrny
the expenses of the State, and solemnly
declare that no heavier or greater taxes
will be paid in the future, and that no
ono will bid, or suffer my ono to bid,
for lands sold for taxes greater than they
propose to have levied. The sacred
principle of taxation and representation
severed the colonies from the mothor
country. 1t is principle which no peo-
pie can long exist without its maintc-
nance.
6. The convention should publish an
address to our colored fellow citizens,
aud show them that they are equally
concerned with ourselves in having ca
pable and honest men in tho Legislature
and in every Office, and how they have
been imposed on by those who profess
to be their friends, only to get Office and
and steal money. 3. Z. PERRY.
