Gov. PcfrY,s Message to the South Car.
Oliun Convention


We must say to Gov. Perry, that the axclu-
sion Of the biacks from. the benefits of the
Government docs not enter into the pro-
eramme Of President johnson. The institu-
lion Of slavery having gone by the board, the
blacks must le recognized Us citizens, what.
ever their restrictions for the present In view
It Is pity that this otherwise admirable ad-
dress Of Gov. Perry should he spoiled by his
exploded heresies concerning the neSro's
rights It never was wise, and It isuow ex-
ceedlnEly foolish, for any Southern Proyis-
iopal Governor to recall the inaammatory
prccepts Of the Drrd Scott decision. But,
considering the stupendous revolution which
South Cnrolina Is called to recognize wit:,iii
her borders, 1t is not strange that even Gov.
Perry should fail to meet 1t fully. In the
main he has done we'll bat We apprehend
that he must drop the Dred Scott decision, OF
he will fnil to touch bottom in Congress.

A RIDDLE.

A correspondent asks us: What will
the Legislature do with the franchise ques-
ton ?"
He had Just as well have asked us what
would be the thirty-third wonder of the
World" We ceased some time ago to prog
nosticate what any single individual, or as
sembly of men, would probably do in the
future. "As / understand the question"
he continues, |" if this Legislature fail to do
anything further, their action at the last
session becomes a part of the Constitution"
We do not understand it that way. We
have never thought it possible for free and
self-governing people to place their primary
power and authority in any assembly or
cabal of men, outside of a regularly authoriz-
edconvocation especially appointedforthe es-
tablishment of organic law and for no other
purpose whatever. Among all the recent
innovations upon constitutional liberty; we
hope it has not come to the point where a
State Legislature shall fix constitutions and
enact statutes as part of the organic law.
A Constitution is a direct emanation from
the people, and permanent iii its objects and
character A legislature and the statutes
it may enact, are temporary, and may be
changed in any two years. In their bien-
uial elections the people have wisely re-
served the right to change their legis-
lators and their laws. By calling conven-
tons, and especially delegating Unnecessary
powers to the same, and only thus, they can
change the Constitution. However, disre-
gard of the underlying principles of Repub-
lican institutions and constitutional proyis-
ions, is one of the distinguishing features of
the times, and there is no one, not even
themselves, who can cast the horoscope Of
the future for the present State Government
of Tennessee. We only hope it may not be
a horoscope.

vulgar. But there are not many, instances
where such open knavery is countenanced or
trusted by any party. Hence our surprise
that they were not permitted to sink into
their merited obscurity Time will eventu-
ally assign them their proper position. But
it is a matter of wonder and regret-a sad
commentary upon American politics-that
charlatans so INSCRIPTIONS and so unblush-
ing receive countenance from any party I'M
der any circumstances. II lessons the incen-
tive even to that small measure of honesty
which all people pretend to respect. 1t low
ers the standard Of American craftsmanship
and weakens the confidence in institutions
over which such characters are permitted to
exercise the slightest control.
This train of reflection has been suggested
by the recent movements of these gentle
men. Both are at Washington. Each is
striving to keep upon the wave of popular
favor with pertinacity mistaken, and an
effrontery unparalleled. We should have
charity for weakness, and patience with
honest zeal, however instructed, but no
one should give countenance to knavery and
meanness even though directed, in that line

PRECLUDTNG REVOLUTIONS.

Mr.. Price, of Iowa, offered in the House
of Representatives, on Tuesday, preamble
and resolution in regard to the readmission
Of the Southern States and like questions,
(which. concludes by asserting as its object,
he preclusion lin all coming time" of rebel
lion and revolution against the government.
Such untoward occurrences are not to be
prevented by legislative resolutions, or con-
stitutional amendments. The recent one was
not caused by any defect in the constitution.
The gentleman will have to effect reyolu-
ton in human nature, before he can pre-
clude" such things Gin all coming time"
A clergyman, doubtless belonging to Mr..
Prices political persuasion, on the recent
Thanksgiving day, commenced prayer in
these words: ooh God! didst thou but
know" &c, &c. Perhaps if this gentleman
could induce the Creator to listen to a COM
mittee of such divines He might be persuaded
to make alterations in poor un-puritanic hui
man nature, that would bring about the de-
sired preclusion. He knows very little, COM
pared to that sort of people, about the way
things should be done.
