B. T. Perry, who has been appointed Gov
ornor Of South Carolina, is u mosI capable
and lneritorious gentlcmaq. re selection
OF such man is another, indication OF the
policy and sound Judgment OF President
johnson. It shows that he undetermined to
find in thesescral States the proper men 10
Direct the reorganization of those unfortunate
communities. The appointment Of suchmen
as Wells, Sbsrkey, and Perry, will do more
to restore order, good feeling and promote
reorganization, than any other step which has
yet been taken in this direction. MR. Perry
is q gentleman of life time devotion 20 the
old Union. lie has manifested this sarti-
meat not by cheap professions and loud high
sounding speeches, made before psope who
are all of one feelingand idea, and that in
favor of the sentiment arowed, but Inc has

man IN Massachusetts and New York, but in
South Carolina it has taxed to the utmost the
:nanhood ofthe boldest and strongest hearted
to avcw my, such sentiment ortbe last TWEEN
,y-ri.e ycars. Mr.. Perry was that man. He
new. shranli from the respoMsiblity-of his
o,iioris, defended and justified them every.
waure, aud thus won the respect and conf
dencr of all his adversaries. a =
Hs,oppased notification thirty-five, years
ago, and took the. field in earnest and vigor-
Gus opposition to secession in 1861. a ma
tive of the State, of an old and distinguished
family, he clung to the old Union without
renouncing or regarding as inconsistent
Herewith the warlnestaifeclion GRAND pride
in his State. He was not of that bastard
class Of Unionists who think it essential to
display their love of the Union, that they
should ignore the claims Of their State, ard
acquiesce in measures to deprive them OF
their rights Under the constitutions In all
that appertained to South Carolina, in'al that
segereignty which was clearly reserved TO
! her, she had no truer son Or more gallant de-
fender than Perry; but utwhen it was proposed,
az he thought to expand that sovereignty, so
asto trench upon and interfere with the right.
iul powers Of the Federal Government, and
to destroy the national character of the Con.
federacy, then he was Union man, and stood
ready to resist the claims and jets of The ex-
ira States rights men. =. . .,
Mr. Perry adhered to this position, amid
all the c,amor, t,lmult and violence which
marked the scenes preceding and following
the secession of his State. When the wal
broke out he retired to his. pantatlah in sor
