Gov. Pc1ry,s Interview with the Pres.
fdent. ~, .s.~.
NEw YonK, Ans. as.-Gov. Perry sivrs The FOL-
lowing account Of his interview With the President:
I'VE were received very cordially, and remained IN
honr OF two with the President. We told him tbs
people Of South Carolina accepted The terms Of his
proclamation md were disposed 10 return TO their
allegiance to tao Union; that from having haen the
most lete]lious State In he South, We wete satisfied
South Carollna would hcneefodh be The nost loyal
of the Southern Etate.. We would reform her con-
dillon, abolish slavery, give the election OF
Governor and Presidential electors 10 the pco-
plc and equalizo the representation Of the State;
ind gave It as my opinion that the dlsunton feel
ing ut the South he'd originated IN the Parishes,
The President expressed ht1naeH g1ati6cd at the
course South Carolina washkely to pursue. Instead
Of manifesting lpy bitter or rcrcngcfht spirit be
eviuced great kindness, &c The whole delegation
were decply Impressed with The courtesy, dignity
and ability Of his e.eellency. His political Views
expressed were those Of patriot and ctatesan! In
regard to The relative powers Of the State
and Of the Federal Government, his opinion Was
identical with my own. Long experienced in South
Carolina he was equally opposed to rehabilitation
nnd the consolidation of the powers in Congress
rs he was the secession Of the States. It must be
lc to the Legislature Of each St1tc to decide who
shall be allowed to sotc in the State. Any attempt
on The part Of Congress to control the elective
franchise in the State would be an un-
war1antnblo. usurpasion: OF power. lie
expressed Tie ardent wish to the soHth Carolina
Consultation popuiaIzed, BY nbolahfng parish rep
rcEcntation, md equaltzng the political power OF
tho upper md lower country, giving the election Of
Governor to the people, md aleo the election Of eec
tors OF President and Vice President Of the United
st4tee. On leaving Tho President he requested NE
10 cali and sec 3fr. Seward. We found MI. Seward
kind, cordial, and gsatifcd ut: the inior.
nation. re , gave him, with re2asd
to the politics OF 8outh Carolina. Before
visiting alr. scvazd had bocn to call on Attorney
General Speed He c=pscefed himself surprised
and mortified at ny speech on the Sd Of July, but
soon discovered that be had only glunced o'cr ttc
speech, and did not comprehend the tona and tcm-
per Of my te.narks- told Mr., Seward What The
Attorney -Gcneralhad Baid. He. replicd:' I read
your 'epeech thfa forenoon nttentively,
and considered Z: the standpoint, -. from
which; you :. made IT. - t.: think
It u yc1y good enc, I suppose, Mi. Pes7y, you Ii
tend your speech for South Carolina and not for
Washington: The Attorney Gcn=raa expressed the
wish, while referring to cur constitution, that We
should eisa tho election, Of the Governor to the
people, yrs,ing in him the power Of api
pointing MI Stato and District oinecrs, with tho ad
vice and consent, Of the Senate. I told him my
theory had always been to gre all Important elcc-
tlons to The people, and relie,e them Of the trouble
Of assembling 70 often 10 make petty elections.
