Thursday Morning, May 80, 1862.
Letter from Ex-Governor Perry.

Letter from Ex-Governor Perry.
We publish, this morning, another
letter from Hon. B. p Perry, in
which his'views of the political stu
alton and the duty of the people OF
this State are very forcibly presented.
His sentiments, we have no doubt,
find response in the bosoms of many
South Carolinians; and while they
may disagree with him rs to the wis
dom of the policy he recommends ut
the coming election, yet we believe
that nearly all llaccord to him sincerity,
consistency and honesty of purpose.
We think, therefore, the Governor is
in error when he speaks of the
s'abuse" he has received, for we have
observed little or mono of that COM
modify in the criticisms or comments
of the press of this State on his let
ters.
With the writer, we wish to see the
white people of this State thoroughly
united, for we believe that, SO united,
by voting for q convention, they will
be enabled to control its organiza-
tion. That being done, the framing
of the new constitution, by the best
available and qualified men we can
select, will be the most important
work. If they should fail to frame
one acceptable to the dominant party
in Congress, the people Of South
Carolina will at least have done their
duty, by complying with the requisi-
tions of the laws in all their forms;
and then, should they be still ex-
cluded, they would be in no worse
indeed, in not such q bad-condition
as if they were peremptorily to refuse
the main requisition of the law-the
calling of q convention.
While we deplore any movement
that would be likely to produce divi-
sions in this State at the coming
ordeal through which her people are
called to pass, yet we cheerfully give
place to the views SO ably presented
by Governor Perry, that the people
may hear both sides, and act as their
judgment, after mature reflection,
may dictate.

voting for a convention as a means

voting for convention as means
of controlling the negro vote. They
seem to forget that the convention is
bound to establish negro suffrage,
and that no discretion is allowed on
this subject. In my Judgment, negro
suffrage Is the ne plus ultra of all
political and social evils. I have, in
former letters, shown the fallacy of
hoping to control the negro vote in
the future, and will not repeat what
have already said on this subject.
In oil that L have said, know that
am i'll large minority Mt this time,
as L was in 1860, and that I have
been censured and abused now, rs 1
was then, for resisting and fighting
to the last moment, what believed
to be the ruin and degradation of
the State. Minorities, which are SO
frightful to some, have no terrors for
me. I have lived in them all my
life, and grown familiar with them.
Indeed, 1 have great respect and
sincere regard for them in times of
political excitement or panic They
have generally firmness and princi-
pie, which cannot always be said of
majorities, however large they may be.
will conclude this article with on
extract from letter received, the
other day, from noble lady, of
South Carolina, whom [ never had
the pleasure of seeing, or correspond
ence with before. It was the sponta-
neous effusiOn of spirited and pa
triotic heart. She says:
II believe 1 speak the feeling of at
least every ,coman in South Carolina,
when [ say we heartily endorse your
views, and each and every sentiment
You express i'll yourrecently published
letters. We pray you to continue
your efforts to save lis from such dis
honor and such degradation, to which
the pain of twenty violent deaths
were preferable, and may Heaven aid
you i'll recalling the manhood of our
State to a sense Of what is due at
least their race"
This is the entire letter, with the
exception of the address and the
name of the writer. Such patriotic
and spirited sentiments from one
lovely woman fully compensates for
all the criticisms and abuse which
have been l1eaped on me.
now repeat what have said in
my former articles. Let every one,
not disfranchised, go and register his
name. This he must do, if he hns
any regard for the preservation of
his life, liberty and property. Then
let him go to the election, without
fail, and vote for good men, endors-
ing it, "dgdinst conrentiOn." These
are the words of the military bill, and
must be used instead of mo conven-
ton" Let him influence others to
vote the same ticket, with the same
endorsement. Having done this, he
will have discharged his duty to the
country and himself, and done all he
can do to save the honor of his State.

The End OF, the Crusade

1t Is much to be hoped that, with
the return of Senator Wilson and
Judge Kelly to the North, ends the
crusade originated by the Republican
party. 1t has been stated in one of
our Northern exchanges that, after
the disturbance in Mobile. the lead
ers of the party had telegraphed
Judge Kelly to return home Whe-
ther this be true or not, one thing is
truc-that the few speeches he made
subsequently to the Mobile demon
stration gave abundant evidence that
he learned something at that melee
by which he profited, and that Was,
that violence of language rather OBJ
structed than facilitated the proper
induction OF political tenets and
theories, especially to the class which
was chiefly to be benefited by such
teachings.
His next speech was delivered in
Montgomery, which was of n widely
different character than his Mobile
harangue; SO was that at Atlanta.
The purport and tenor of his last
reported speech, in Charlotte, n. c.,
may be inferred from the notice OF
the Times, which we published on
Tuesday. Senator Wilson has gone
back, and Expresses his satisfaction
with the courtesy and kind treatment
he had received wherever he spoke at
the South. Now, the question is,
will not the party, on the reports
that these returned missionaries NAV
make, come to the conclusion that
the interests of the party will be best
subserved by letting the South alone.
Without secret organizers in every
rural district of the South, it is
highly improbable that any lasting
benefit or widespread effect, will
accrue to the interest of the party by
the efforts Of their emissaries in the
principal cities. The rights and pri-
vlleges OF the freedmen are amply
secured by the reconstruction law,
and the military officers will see that
the provision which prohibits undue
influence orviolence to sway the votes
OF the freedmen, will be strictly en-
forced. We hope, therefore, that
the party will see that the idea of n
necessity to send missionaries South
was fallacious, and based upon a
total misconstruction of the relations
existing between the white and black
races at the South.

| @AO OhAOA OOhS3~~SS@Na@s 49,
can Committee have issued an al
dress to the Southern people, on "The
policy of Congress in reference to
the restoration of the Union," oil
which Gov. Boutwell, is said to be
the author. Several hundred thou
sand of these documents have been
printed for circulation throughout
the Southern States, and are impor-
tant to our people in this respect,
that they furnish some indication OF
the policy to be pursued by the party
in Congress.
The address enumerates the condi-
tions imposed by the reconstruction
Acts, and says that the spirit of these
laws must be complied with before
the States are re-admitted; but IS
tenor throughout indicates that if
said laws are faithfully complied with,
the work of restoration will be COM
plete. We make brief extract:
"The restoration of the Union
means the establishment of those re-
latiops of friendship between the
States of the North and the South
which now subsist between the States
of the North. When the moment
arrives, rs it will soon arrive, if the
purposes of Congress are met in q
proper spirit by the people of the
South, the nation will at once employ
it's immense resources and power for
the development of that region of
country, and in short period Of
time, not only will the evidences of
war have disappeared, but recognized
States will be in the enjoyment of o
degree of prosperity not before ex-
perienced.
1t is true that the exactions from
the whites to the freedmen, referred
to in this address or circular, are
based upon the most rigid construc-
tion of the Acts of Congress; never
theless, if the Southern people act in
unison, in honestly fulfilling the letter
of the law, we have no doubt it will
disarm the radical party, and deprive
it of the poverty the weakness
which will accrue from division in its
ranks-of inficting further injury.

The Attorney-General's Opinion,

The Attorney-Generars Opinion.
1t will have been perceived by
those who read the opinion of the
Attorney General, published yester-
day, that this portion bears directly
upon the personal action and respon-
sibility of every citizen in the ten
excluded States. The opinion in re-
ference to the duties and powers of
the administrators of the law will
next be given.
The Baltimore .Sun, in noticing the
document, says:
"AIr. Stanberry, it will be seen,
after careful examination of the
Acts Of Congress, as we'll as all State
laws bearing on the questions in
volved, arrives at the conclusion that
there is no authority for any other
oath to be taken by any one, touch
ing the qualifications of the applicant
for registration, than the oath pre-
scribed by the supplementary Act of
Congress of March %, last. If the
applicant takes that, his name must
go upon the register, and the inquiry
whether he has sworn truly or falsely
must be reserved for the court which
may afterwards have jurisdiction to
try an indictment for perjury. In
experimenting the subsequent cleo
tons, the duty Of the board is to re-
ceive the votes of all whose names
nre upon the registration, and reject
all others, not then having power to
erase or add single one."
The National MteNigencey concludes
its notice by saying:
"The meaning attaching to the
several phrases is so minutely and
clearly set forth, that it leaves no.
thing to be added. No intelligent
citizen can fail to decide readily for
himself whether or not he can take
the oath prescribed, and thus secure
the right of suffrage under the Acts
Of Congress, and the people of the
South, and, indeed, of the entire
country, are greatly indebted to tho
Attorney General for thus throwing
light upon n perplexing and delicate
question. One point, however, is
still left unsettled-as to who are in
cluded in the phrase, judicial and
executive officers But this is to be
cleared up when the abstracts are
prepared for the several States, Which
will exhibit all these officers and the
duties which appertain to them.

Under the influence of the success
i've showers which visited us the first

speaking, begin to look quite promis.
ing, and our planters, although labor
ing under many difficulties, such as
deficiency of force, want of means,
&c, are inspired to renewed exer-
tions, and evidently feel cheered by
the prospect ahead.

visited by heavy freshet, the water
spreading over the low grounds for
many miles around. The crops near
the river were injured to some ex-
tent but we learn that the injury
sustained is not so material rs to de-
stroy 1t entirely.
