SOUTH CAROLINA DELEGATE FOR THE UNION
ENGLISH sPECULAT10Ns.
Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer.
WASHINGTON, August %.
Hon. B. F. Perry, of South Carolina,
one OF the few delegates from that State
VINO nad the courage to remain in the Dem
ocratlc National Convention after the sece-
ders Withdrew, is out in powerful letter,
taking issue with Orr, Keitt, Boyce and
others, who are advocating disunion. He
exposes the inconsistencies of Orr, and
bravely defends the Union. Mr.. Perry is
sagacious man, and has great influence in
the mountain region of the State, where he
resides, and where the people eat their
Goals little cooler" than they do in what is
termed the Low Country.
What sort of an American Government
we are to have in case of the election of
Lincoln, is furnished in an article in the
London Chronicle, which predicts that in
such contingency, under pretense of sup
pressing the slave-trade more effectually, the
right of search on mutual basis would be
re-established. Such proposition is alb.
horrent to every American. But 10 their
insane efforts in behalf of the negro, the
Republicans are capable of doing any thing.
1t is rumored that the fitting out of the
Susquehsnna for sea is with a view to the
capture of Mr.. Fillibuster Walker.
The favoritism of the Administration is
constantly showing ITSELF A man named
Decamp has obtained the binding of the
Post Office Department on the condition
that the largest part Of the profits are to 60
to support the Constitution. By such APP
planes as these are the fortunes of Brock
iDridge and Lane sought to be bolstered up.
In the New York Republican Convention
the internal dissensions of that party were
carefully covered up, but enoug Oh was re.
vealed to show that they were deep-seated
and bitter, and must exercise their influence
10 the fall election. The Douglas men are
as confident of carrying the State as they
have been heretofore.
The Disunionists, who try to make point
against Douglas because so many Southern
delegates voted against him in Convention,
have forgotten the fact that il the National
Wing Convention that nominated General
Harrison, in 1889, on the final ballot which
decided the candidate, not one solitary
Southern vote was cast for the General.
His whole vote was from the Free States,
and yet he carried in the election every
Southern State but five! There is power
superior to the politicians.
The late movements, in New York, for
union OF all patriotic citizens against section.
alism, have produced considerable sensation
at the Republican headquarters in this city.
1t New York is lost, all is gone Documents
are no longer sent out with the heart they
were two weeks ago. heard one of the
committee remark Yesterday evening that it
would seem as if the Almighty had entered
the list against the Republicans, for when it
would appear that nothing could prevent
their succeeding, something would turn up
to kill them off, For his part, he contin-
ued, be did not see any use in spending any
more money on documents or anything else.
The hearts of Republicans here are sick,
very sick-dam'd sick.
A dispatch has been received here that
Mr.. Breckenridge has agreed to take the
stump. 1t is found to be absolutely neces-
sary that be should endeavor to explain his
dessertion of his doctrines of 1856, and of
the Democratic party. 1t is said here that
Mr.: Breckinridge says he cannot honorably
withdraw from the canvass without first en-
deavoring to justify himself for the course
he has taken. He is overwhelmed by pub.
lie sentiment, which is preying constantly
on bis mind, and be wishes, if possible, to
satisfy bis countrymen that be has not been
governed by bad ambition.
A friend of Senator johnson, OF Arkan.
sas, received a dispatch to-day, stating that
the brother of the Senator was certainly
defeated for Governor of Arkansas result
altogether unanticipated here. johnson is
warm personal and political friend of Mr..
Breckenridge, and his defeat is regarded as
an indication that Arkansas also is lost to
Breckenridge.
