1t is pity that this otherwise admirable adj
dress of Governor Perry should be spoiled by
his exploded heresies concerning the negro's
rights. It never was wise, and it is now ex-
ceedingly foolish, for any Southern Provisional
Governor to recall the inAammatory precepts
of the bred Scott decision. But, considering
the stupendous revolution which South Carolina
is called to recognize within her borders, 1t is
not strange that even Governor Perry should
fail to meet 1t fully. In the main he has done
we'll; but we apprehend that be must drop the
bred Scott decision Or he will fail to touch
bottom in Congress. -
The SOLDIERS AT HoME-THEm INFLUENCE
During the past summer nearly million men
have returned to their homes from the army.
They are the most patriotic men in the COM
munity. The soldier, wherever you see him,
is the one man in twenty who was ready to
give his life for his county, and went out to do
it.. He is the one who laid aside all bis ordi-
nary pursuits, while the others thought about
it; and his patriotic sacrifices and endeavors,
his hardships, his trials, his triumphs, have
only made him love the country still more,
and he comes home more earnest patriot than
he was when he went.
These men care but little for the bubbles of
the politicians or the terrible wordy wrath of
the radicals. Niger suffrage does not vex
their souls. They were willing that Sambo
should have a chance to be shot, and will, per-
haps, not stand in the way of his securing an
equivalent privilege. But there is one point
on which they are positive, and that is the sup
port of the administration. They went for Old
Abe through and through, and now they
60 with equal completeness for Andy
johnson as the whole-hearted repre-
sentative man of the people. His blunt
directness, his obvious purpose 10 be
just to ALL his resolute adhe rence to the spirit
of the constitution against all the clamor and
hold of the soldiers hearts as did the similar
characteristics of his great predecessor, and
they all 60 home johnson men to the core.
There is thus spread over every part of the
North an immense unbought, unpaid, spon-
taneous influence in support of the President
The soldiers affect greatly the communities in
which they live, especially in the rural dis
tricts. They have been out and seen the world
and the war, and they become the centres of
little circles that unconsciously adopt their
views. Their influence on the result of our
elections will be obvious; and the politicians
already foresee this and bid wisely for it in the
nomination of military men for all offices. But
the influence of the soldier will go further than
this. II will originate such full and hearty
support of the President as will carry his re-
construction policy through without jar or jolt
1t will put the radical party out of existence
and thus the soldiers who saved the country
will be main influence in its settlement
THE ENTENTE CoRDTALE BETWEEN FRANCE
AND ENGLAND.-It appears by our late European
news that France and England are on the most
delightful terms. They are perfectly charmed
with each other, and are entirely in consonancc
upon all questions, especially upon public law.
The necessity of establishing an entente cordiale
between these two nations always becomes ap-
parent to their statesmen when they arc men,
accd with any difficulty from abroad, and
there Is, therefore, upon all such occasions, a
great public demonstration made Of their per-
feet unanimity and exceeding great friendship,
which is intended as threat to outside ma
tons. Sometimes It is visit Of Napoleon to
the Queen Of England, or Q visit of the
Queen to the Tuileries; again 1t is the
massing Of an army Of observation on
the frontier Of some neighboring country.
Just now the method adopted is grand inter-
national naval review, 10 show the combined
strength Of the two countries on the sea, which
may be taken a. . gentle hint to the United
States; and such, indeed, was minated the
other day by one Of their newspapers, which
challenged the Americans to observe what
magnificent navy was at the command Of Eng
land and France.
Everybody understands the meaning Of the
late extraordinary exhibition Of good feeling
between them. England has some fears Of q
rising in Ireland, and Louis Napoleon foresees
that he may be required TO withdraw his troops
and his deputy from Mexico. We have not the
slightest objection 10 an entente cordiale between
France and England. We are delighted TO see
them shaking hands across the Straits Of Dover.
1t is fraternal, and, moreover, refreshing TO our
sense Of humanity. The policy Of any country
or all the countries Of Europe has no effect
upon our policy. 1t never did have, and IL
never will They can be on good or bad terms
with each other, just as they please. We care
not fg for their innuendoes or their menaces
but will keep on attending to our own business
in our own way, as we have always done.
