SPEECH OF GOVERNOR PERRY, OF
SOUTH CAROLINA.

Hon, b +. Ferry, who has been appointed
proviaioha Governor Of South Carolina, deliys
cred an address at Greenvilie Courthouse.
South Carolina, on the third instant. He told
the people that the Southern States failed
IN their resolution because the heart of the
eople was not in it, The most prominent in
the war movement never went to the field
after the fighting commenced, and. staid at
home, in bomb proofs, ..speculating andImaking
money on Government costracts Governor
Perry thought that it was folly to call the late
wsr a rebellion. 1t was much greater 1t was
legitimate war between the sections, and was
so recognized by both. He said:
''Tbere have been few national wars In
Europe in which greater armies were carried
1Eto service and on the field of battle. I he
call snch war rebellion simply, 10 a misap-
plication Of terms. The greatest and best "a en-
OF the Southern States were most conscien
tiously leading this war, either 10 council or
on the field of battle In all there is not q
more perfect model of q pure and great man
(saOe WashmgtOn) than General Lee. Thathe
should now be hung as a traitor would be an
act Of national infamy that would shock the
whole civilized world, and render the name
of the United States odious in history. 10
whilst do not think, Mr.. Chairman, mat
tbs whole people of the Southern StAt.s have
behaved we'll i'll this war, and done there duty
q, home and on the field of battle, there as a
large portion of them 9oho have aooa immortal
