Maj. b. II. Perry, of Greenyille, in nm
nouncing his Willingness to serve the people
IN the Legislature, ifelected, says:
When first entered your service. fthirtv
years ago, found our beloved State distrac-
ted and torn to pieces by angry and excited
political parties. ] now have the consolution
OF scoiDg herunited and harmonious. South
Carolna has assumed wise, calm and nru
dent course, in federal politics, acting in CON
cert with all the Southern States, and the
Democratic party Of the North in defendinp
their constitutional rights, the einterests ofthe
South, the rights of the States and the Enion
OF the States. IS
In relation to the domestic policy of tho
State. grave and important questions will be
before the next Legislature, in which have
taken, tory years past, q deep interest Some
change in our Judiciary system is loudly call
ed for, and absolutely necessary to despatch
the business of the country Delays in the
administration Of Justice are great evils. The
expenses of those delaysa are enormous to tho
State and t,'litigants in Court There ought

ana the establishment ofa separate Court of
Appeals.
The Free School systcm requires serious
modification, in order to extend it's blessings,
and accomplish the entire education of the
people. No free white man or woman in
South Carolina should be unable to read and
write, Virtue and intelligence are the basis
OF Republies. Education gives this basis.-
The Legislature should take care to adopt
such n system of S!ueation 40 will secure to
every neigliborhood in each district of tho
State a common school Theexpease should
be borne in common by the State and the
neighborhood.
q Ihe South Carolina College requires reor-
ganization, so that its blessings may be more
generally diffused, and the Institution moro
selt-reliant and independent Itshould be
converted into a. University, and the Profess
sors made dependent, IN soii;e measure, ON
the tuition fund Tor theirsalaries
The peopieo South Carolina ought lon
ger TO tolerate their political degradation in
being deprived OF tho election of Electors of
President and Vice President Of t'e ifS fin;ted ID
States. In every other State in the Union---
thifty-one III number---this right of electing
the Chief Magistrate of the Renublic Is scs e
cured to tho people, Why should Il not he
in South Carolina? Let it be torn from the
Legislature, who have usurped therieht in
violation of the Federal Constitution, Which
declares not that they shall NAL tho elecfio,,
but prescribe, the manner in which the elec.
ton is to be madce by the State--the people.
