The express terms on which your pardons have issued, stipulate\\nthat yon shall never again own or employ slave labor. It is likewise alto-\\ngether probable that the proposed amendment to the Federal Constitution,\\nabolishing slavery, will be adopted by three-fourths of the States and be-\\ncome a part of the Constitution. Moreover, it is impossible for South\\nCarolina ever to regain her civil rights and be restored to the Union till she\\nvoluntarily abolishes slavery, and declares, by an organic law, that neither\\nslavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime,\\nwhereof the party shall have been duly convicted/ shall ever again exist\\nwithin the limits of the State., Until this is done, we shall be kept under\\nmilitary rule, and the negroes will be protected as freedmen by the whole\\nmilitary force of the United States.

At the time it was adopted more than seventy-five years ago it\\nwas, no doubt, fair and equal. But, since that time, the entire relative\\ncondition of the Election Districts has changed. The upper country, at\\nthe adoption of our State Constitution, in 1790, was comparatively but\\nnewly settled, had a sparse population, and very little wealth. But, since\\nthat time, this portion of the State has increased in wealth and numbers in\\na much greater ratio than the lower country. Hence it is that the Parish\\nrepresentation in the Senate is unequal and unjust. Twenty or thirty\\nvoters in one of the Parishes, whose population and taxation combined\\nentitle it to only one member of the House of Representatives, have the\\nsame representation in the Senate that three thousand voters have in Edge-\\nfield District, whose population and taxation entitle it to six members in\\nthe House. This is contrary to all republican principles of political justice\\nand equality.\\nIn the early history of South Carolina, the representation in the Parishes\\nwas repeatedly changed, to equalize it amongst the respective Election Dis-\\ntricts. But all such changes have been obstinately refused during the last\\nseventy-five years. Now that slavery is abolished, a reformation in this\\nresj)ect is imperative and must be adopted. In effecting this change, it\\nwould be well to adopt the basis of representation in the House of Repre-\\nsentatives, which is founded on population and taxation. Each Judicial\\nDistrict in the State should, however, have one Senator, and the city of\\nCharleston two, in addition to one from the District of Charleston. The\\nother Senators, if the present number be retained, may be given to the\\nlargest Districts in population and taxation, as fractions are now represented\\nin the House of Representatives. The two great elements of Representa-\\ntive Governments are wealth and population, and they should be both\\nequally represented, so that the one cannot legislate to the injury of the\\nother.\\nIn considering the question of population, it is proper that the freed-\\nmen, who take the places of white men in the lower country, and also in\\nthe upper country, in a less proportion, should, in some way and to some\\nextent, be counted. This is due the lower country, where there is such a\\nlarge preponderance of that class of persons.

It was the compromise agreed on by the framers of\\nthe Federal Constitution, and no doubt founded in wisdom.\\nThe question of suffrage, and who shall exercise the right of voting in\\nSouth Carolina, is one of grave importance, and must be settled by you in\\nyour new Constitution. In 1790, the State Constitution declared that no\\none should be allowed to vote unless he was a freeholder or tax-payer and a\\nfree white man of the age of twenty-one years. In 1810, the right of suf-\\nfrage was extended to all free white men of the age of twenty-one, who\\nwere residents of the State two years, and of the Election District six\\nmonths, previous to voting. The qualification of a freehold or the pay-\\nment of a tax was no longer required. It was thought proper at that\\nperiod that a free white man who had to serve in the militia, do patrol\\nduty, work on the roads, and defend his country in time of war, should be\\nallowed to vote for members of the Legislature and other officers of the\\nState, without the ownership of a freehold or the payment of taxes. To\\nextend this universal suffrage to the freeclrnen in their present ignorant\\nand degraded condition, would be little less than folly and madness. It\\nwould be giving to the man of wealth and large landed possessions, in the\\nState a most undue influence in all elections. He would be enabled to\\ninarch to the polls, with his two or three hundred freedmen as em-\\nployees, voting as he directed, and control all elections. The poor white\\nmen in the Election Districts would have no influence, or their influence\\nwould be overpowered by one man of large landed estate. In Connecticut,\\nOhio, Indiana, Illinois, and several other non-slaveholding States, at the\\nNorth, free negroes and colored persons are entirely excluded from voting.\\nIn most of the Northern States there is a property qualification required of\\nall voters, which excludes them. If the New York qualification of a free-\\nhold for a person of color voting were adopted in South Carolina very few\\nof the freedmen in this State would ever be able to exercise the right of\\nsuffrage. In North Carolina, Tennessee, and perhaps other slaveholding\\nStates, free negroes formerly were entitled to vote, but it is understood\\nthat they seldom saw proper to exercise this franchise.\\nThe radical Republican party North are looking with great interest to\\nthe action of the Southern States in reference to negro suffrage, and whilst\\nthey a dmit that a man should be able to read and write and have a property\\nqualification in order to vote, yet they contend that there should be no\\ndistinction between voters on account of color. They forget that this is a\\nwhite man s government, and intended for white men only; and that the\\nSupreme Court of the United States has decided that the negro is not an\\nAmerican citizen under the Federal Constitution.

You will settle\\nthis grave question as the interest and honor of the State demand.\\nSouth Carolina is the only State in the Union where the Chief Magistrate\\nis not elected by the people. This should no longer be the case. It is a\\nfundamental principle of the republican creed, that the people, in whom\\nall sovereignty is inherent, should select their own rulers and representa-\\ntives. Those powers only are delegated which cannot be properly exercised\\nby the people. It is eminently wise and proper that the Governor of a\\nState should derive his authority and election immediately from the sove-\\nreign power of the State. The people should elect their Chief Magistrates,\\nmembers of Congress and members of the Legislature. Having done this,\\nthe minor offices might be filled by appointment and the people relieved of\\nthe trouble, loss of time, and demoralization in making these petty elec-\\ntions. When the Governor has been elected by the people, he might safely\\nbe entrusted with more power than he has ever exercised in South Caro-\\nlina. He should be made religible, or elected for a longer term than two\\nyears. He should ba required to live at the seat of Government, and\\nshould receive a salary sufficient to defray all his necessary expenses.\\nThe General Assembly of South Carolina is an Electoral College for the\\nState as well a3 a Legislative body.

This embar-\\nrasses legislation, occupies a great deal of the time of members, and is pro-\\nductive of evil consequences. The most of these elections and appoint-\\nments should be taken from the Legislature.\\nThe election of Presidential Electors by the Legislature is clearly a usur-\\npation on the part of that body, and which no other State in the Union\\ntolerates at the present time. The Federal Constitution declares that\\neach State shall apjyoint in such manner as the Legislature thereof may\\ndirect, Electors of President and Vice-President. The State and not the\\nLegislature is to appoint Electors. The Legislature is to direct the\\nmanner of appointing only. The people are the State and should ap-\\npoint.

The question is suggested for your\\nconsideration.\\nIn all elections made by the Legislature, the voting should be viva voce,\\nso that each member s constituents might know how he voted. The ballot\\nis secret, and conceals the Representative s vote from his constituency.\\nThe people have a right to know how their representatives voted in elec-\\ntions as well as in legislation. In all elections by the people, the ballot is\\ncertainly the proper mode, for it enables every man to vote independently,\\naccording to his own convictions.

But the representative votes for\\nothers, and they have a right to know his vote.\\nIt would be well to consolidate the Treasury Department. The State of\\nSouth Carolina is neither so large nor so wealthy as to require two Trea-\\nsurers. The Secretary of State and the Surveyor- General should be re-\\nquired to keep their offices only at the seat of government. The facilities\\nof traveling between Charleston and Columbia are now such that there is\\nno necessity for a division of these offices at the expense of the State. The\\nCourt of Appeals ought also to be required to sit altogether in Columbia,\\nwhere one law library and one set of officers would be sufficient for the\\ncourt.\\nIn order to give additional importance and consideration to the office of\\nLieutenant-Governor, he ought to be made ex-officio President of the Se-\\nnate; or, which would be as well, let the President of the Senate act as\\nGovernor in case of a vacancy, till another election can be made by the\\npeople.\\nYou should provide for the election of members of the Legislature at an\\nearly day\u00e2\u0080\u0094 the second Monday in October\u00e2\u0080\u0094 so that the General Assembly\\nmay be convened in time to order the election of members of Congress and\\nUnited States Senators, before the first Monday in December next.

Being\\nadvised, after inquiry, that there was not on the island any of the legally\\nconstituted Managers for the island poll, and having failed in their efforts\\nto reach the late Senator and Representative of the Parish, to procure a\\nspecial appointment, they resorted to the expedient of appointing Man-\\nagers by a public meeting. The Managers so appointed held the election\\nand conducted it, so far as your Committee can learn, in close conformity\\nwith the existing regulations. The voters were only those who had been\\nresidents on the island for the two years preceding the election, and who\\nhad indicated a purpose of permanent residence, by bringing their families\\nand establishing themselves in civil employments. They had also taken\\nthe Amnesty Oath. The Managers, acting on information which they had\\nreason to think reliable, as to the proper day and place for counting the\\nvotes, went to the proper place on the main, but on the day preceding the\\nday fixed by law for the general assembling of the Managers and there,\\nignorant of the fact that they were assembled in advance of the proper\\ntime, and doubtful as to whether the polls had been opened at any other\\nprecincts, they proceeded to count their poll and declare the election.

In pursuance of this authority, Governor Perry, by Proclamation,\\nordered the Managers of Elections throughout the State to hold the\\nelections and to conduct the same according to the laws of South Caro-\\nlina in force before the secession of the State. Managers of Elections\\nare, in this State, recognized State officers, holding their appointments\\ndirectly from the General Assembly, and liable to penalties for neglect or\\nmisconduct and it will not be questioned that in using the term, Governor\\nPerry had reference to the Managers regularly appointed by the General\\nAssembly. JBy a subsequent Proclamation of August 23d, Governor Perry\\ndirects that in cases where there are no Managers of Elections, the mem-\\nbers of the Legislature from the Election District shall appoint suitable\\npersons.\\nThese were the regulations established 4 by the Governor for the con-\\nduct of the elections to this Convention, and it is, in the judgment of your\\n^Committee, a sufficient exception to the Hilton Head poll, that it was not\\nmanaged in conformity to these regulations and to the law of the State.\\nThe Managers were unauthorized to act as such, having been appointed\\nneither by the General Assembly nor by the Representatives of the Parish\\nand in their management have failed to conform to that law of the State\\nwhich required that they should meet the other Managers at the time and\\nplace fixed by law, for the purpose of counting the votes and declaring the\\nelection, after an exhibition of the results of the ballotings at the several\\nprecincts. It would open a door for much fraud and unfairness, if so great\\nan irregularity should be countenanced as the meeting of the Managers ot\\na single precinct, in advance of the day fixed by law for the general meet-\\ning, and the counting of the votes and declaring the election with reference\\nalone to the votes at such poll and equally mischievous would be the\\nirregularity of permitting polls to be managed by unauthorized persons,\\nwho are in no manner amenable to law for their conduct.

They thereupon addressed\\na communication to the Provisional Governor, stating the facts, and asking\\nhim to appoint Managers of Election he declined doing so, and referred\\nthem to the members of the Legislature from that Parish, as the proper\\npersons to appoint such Managers. They then tried to find out who were\\nmembers of the State Legislature from the Parish of St. Helena, but could\\nnot find them, and your Committee are not aware that there were any.\\nAs a last recourse, a meeting of the voters of the Parish was called on the\\n29th August, 1865.

Elisha Codding having declined to serve, John Heacock\\nwas substituted for him.
