Gov. PERRY, OF SoyFH CAROLINA Pro
visiopal Governor Perry made a remark
able speech atGreenville, South Carolina
on the 9th instant, before he knew of his
az poiutment. LIS tenor may be inferred
from thesiollCwipg expresssors:
Mr.. Chaii man, j will here frankly say
as | have often said during the past four
years, that there was not a man in the
L aited States, who more deeply regretted
the secession OF the Southern States
than | did at the beginning of the rebel,
Ia ~. There is not now in the Southern
StaCes any one who feels more bitterly
the huE1iIis ton and degradation OF goinr
back INFO the Union than l do still
know that We s1rtl be more prosperous
and happy in the h ZION than out of it.
lie also said thai EFF. Davis was not
spe ally TO blame for the failure Of the
re- bclhon that the peoplG tired OF fight
ing, had skuked from the field, that
Johnson had 10000 men on tie muster
rolls of his army, but only 1900 in his
ranks, and adds. Cangfes too, Mr. Chair
man, is greatly 10 blame for their excep
lions. All he ween the ages of eighteen
and forty five should have heen forced
into the arnfy AahdA Kept there. IS mat
tered not whether he was a lawyer
doctor, preacher, politician, editor, or
school teacher. ii an able bodied man he
should have been sent to the army

appeared in our paper. giving The oath ql
Office required BY an act oftthe United
States Congress, and stating that the
same piled to candidates, for the Con
vention. This We are assured is not the
case. Any man Included in the amnesty
proclamation of President johnson can
sec pit a seatin The Convention provided
he has taken the prescribed oath. There
s nodoubt of this. and those who haze
been forced to abandon their intention Of
going TO Che Conveniiorl in conaegueace
of Anxious late letter. can now come
forward and announce their names. The
writer was honest in. his belief that the
oath applied to all candidates, but we are
satisfied Of his error The 'test oath. ;"
applies specially to members Of Congress.
Il prevents the admission of persons who
b"Ve apolun tarilya borne arms sgainstz the
United States who have voluntarily
given aid, -countenance, counsel or en-
enlargement to persons who have been
eng 'ged ia armed hostility thereto; who
have sought, or accepted, or have at
tempted to exercise the functions of any
office under any authority hostile to the
United States; or who hav , yielded vol
antary support to any pretended govern
m g. t, authority, power or constitution
within theJnited1states. hostile or inim
ical thereto. This, of course must be
granted. But it does not apply to mem
bers of the Convention, nor win it bar
Southern members from entering Con
gless, for we can fiad plenty Of brains in
every Southern State to represent us
without committing PERJURY. Secession
was not fact, for@thA South failed, and
we are still in the Union and entitled to
all the privileges enjoyed by other States.
The oath refers TO office holders under
the Confederate govern ment and those
who gave it voluntary support. To
quote from the NV Orleans Timas, we
have men here who have come out of the
Gre unscathed, with talents and loyalty
that wonld honor the halls Of Congress
We shall have no difficulty in finding
the right men here to represent uS-citi-
zaus identified with our interests, ac-
ouainted with our needs, possessing the
ability to properly are for them. and in
sst that they shall be cared for by the
nation in who's lips an oath to support
the Constitution of the United States has
a deep and solsm signifoltion that they
viii never forget, no matter how fercely
may rage the fires of partisan fury.
Nohing can keep the Southern States
out of Congtess but manifestatio of a
bad and dangerous spirit which disregards
ali sacred obligations, force of constitu
tional provisions which effect ali States
alike, and which Southern men mean to
uphold in sincerity, in, letter ard in
intent,

consent thereto, 1 deem it due to YOU
and myself, that you should know the
position occupy in reference 10 the
present state Of the country, and the
great questions likely to come before that
Convention.
In giving my consent to become can
fdidate, l presumed that no contest for
offic5 was expected of me-that Il was
solicited to become such, by what sup
posed to be the Union sentiment of the
country, but without prejudice as to diff
ferences in the past. -
Ii is well known TO you, fEet an issue
h ad been made by the people of the
South, in Congress, as to what they sup
posed to be, their constitutional rights in
the Government, and falling TO maintain
them there, they were submitted to the
arbitraments of arms, and were over.
pow red. l was opposed, Originally, to
the measures which led to the secession
of the State, but when the act was done,
| endeavored TO maintain it by entering
the service of the country, ia arms, and
by exposing my life upon several of the
hardest fought fields of the war Being
overpowered, all that is leftus, is to sub
nit to the fortune which has befallen Us
and we must now enter cheerfully upon
the work Of there-organization ofthe State
goVernnent, as requested by the procla
nation of Gov. Sharkey. .'a os'A
The fac, that slavery is abolished, must
be maintained, and the consfitunonsh odld
so declare IN, the re organiz ation of the
State government. The right of negro
suffrage and negro equality must be gov
erned by the State laws. PRESIDENT
Johnson must be supported in this, as
a right of the States co existent with the
govern ment of the United States, and
The right of the States since the. fcuhda
ton OF the govern ment. he only me- n
left US to man tain. these cardinal prin-
ciples is to come squarelyup to the ques-
ton of the aholiShment Of slavery, and
thereby be re instated in civil govern
ment. -.e
The revolution being ended, all must
obey the laws ofgtha Stale and of the
United States, and do all in their power
to promote the happiness and interest, o.
the people in the changed condition OF
things.
The oath of amnesty must be taken, to
restore Us to our political and civil rights.
1t is a necessity from which we cannot
escape, and without which we cannot be
re instated in civil government. Every
good citizen, therefore, should avail him
self of the very first opportunity to take
it, and thus be prepared to participate in
The re organization of the State govern
ment.
1 have thus, fellow citizens, briefly
indicated my views. Should they meet
your APPRECIATION, and..you yield me ycur
support, shall cheerful.y and Il lkfully
receive it. And should l be elected, Il
will endeavor TO represent your interest
to the best of my ability in that Conven-
ton. w. c. TURNER.
