message now before US. Thetwo first named

approval and gencrhl admiration but at the

The present message we have read twice,

without any assumption Of that meritwLich We

RECOMMENDATION 70 the General Assembly are are
Comprehensive and sagacious, er;;aoiHg stHtne
same time close attention to and deep inter-
est in tie welfare Of our dear old common
wealth. These recommendations are too nu-
merous for l,s to dwell on, but VIC must ell
dorsc the financial suggestion he makes Of
issning bonds Of the State, and thus relieve her
impoverished people from taxation by the State
for the present and nlSo for tile purpose ofpay-
ing for her citizens tho direct taxes due the
United StaLes. Tie financial credit and con-
dition ofthe State are good; they rest on q
secure bisis. and the State eau raise mcn2y
on better terms than can her people-who to
pay their taxes will be left to the tender mer-
cies orthe cStor!ioncr and speculalor.
Our space will not allow US to notice all the
details of :his message rs we desire to do, es-
pccially MS no wish to say word or two more
Of Gov. rerry's administration generally.
For four months ho has not only been con-
spicuously before the scrutinzing eyes of this
State and of the United StaLcs but, as the rev.
oluticn just closing attracted the attention Of
the whole civilized world, ard as South Carolina
was regarded as the leading State in tina, rev.
olution, MI the civilized world has watched the
administration OF Gov. PERRY und the conduct
Of the people over whom he was placed, we
take pride and pleasure in saying that he ha
stood Ihe ordeal most gloriously. He has alike
won the admiration and approval Of those who
placed Him in power, and those over whom lie
rulcd-not hy .lawning upon either, but by
pursuing the wise policy suggested by the ad-
mmistrtion, aud by consulting the trne inter.
ests Of the people whom he governed.
There will no doubt be- dissatisfied, envious,
disconlcntcd and suspicious minds which will
attribute to Gov. PERRY interested motives in |
tile improved tone and temper of his message |
compared to lis spesah at Greenvie and his |
message to the Convention. We scout tue idea
Gov. PERRE, it is true is a candidate for the
United States Senate, but this motive existed as
we'll when he sent his Message to the Conven.
ton. Moreover, he never yet truekled to any
body or anything. Such n course Is inconsis-
tent with his character. He is bold rather
q defiant man; so straight az to be a little suav-
hacked. Besides better motives are pat
ent for the improved toue of his E1cellcncy.
His political life has been one of opposition
an opposition in South Carolina ,of q small
neutrality-suspicious. among public men mi.
nority of one. Of course if there is nature in
Iinl he had some bitter thoughts and sore
places; and it was to be expected that he
should get into the habit of both feeling and
himself little hardly. The people
Who had hitherto dssppEoved of bis course,
md the public assemblages of South Carolina
which had hitherto condemned his policy, have
cmbined of late to applaud and approve and
lis rougher points have yielded to these null- !
yug Influences. |:
The time eis near at hard which we antcipa-
ed months. since in prophccying ''cordial well
one" for Gov. PEnRYs administration, We
lncerely hope the General Assembly of South
arolina wifEpuf its approval in more tangible T
