ed by Ex-Governor b. F. Perry, were unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, That we, the people OF Greenville

usurper, attempting to trample ON the rights
and liberties Of abe people of Souta Carolina,

eminent with seorn and lOathing.
Resolved, That the pretended act OF Cham
berlain's bogus legislature, levying an enor
nous tax the property of the citizens q
South Carolina Is null and void, and we
pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred
honor never to pay one cent of II under aay
circumstances, be the consequences what
they may.
Resolved, That we win voluntarily and
cheerfully pay all taxes or contributions called
for by Governor Hampton and his democratic
legislature necessary to defray the Legitimate
expenses of the state.
Resolved That we confidently look to con
gress for fair count of the votes for president
and vice president according to the constftu
ton and heretofore uniform precedent, purg
ing the electoral vote of all frauds and false re
turns.
