THE DO NOTHING POLICY.

THOSE leaders OF public opinion In the Soath
who, like Governor Perry, of South Carolina
are advising the white people to stand aloof
from the work of reconstruction under the
Jaw, and TO vote, il they vote At all, against
holding con ven tions, seem to be acting under
the mistaken Impression that they are coun.
selling course which will defeat the object of
Congress They do not seem to understand
that negro suffrage is fixed beyond their
power TO affect II. The only result Of their
refusal to take part in the work of recenstruc. !.
ton will be to leave the reorganization of their
State almost entirely in the hands of the col.
ored people. The work will go on, whether
they take part In it or not. ~ .-r.g r.-
Gen. Sickles, in accordance with the sup.
Elementary act. has ordered a registration Of
all male citizens over twenty one years of age
to be made In North and South Carolina on
the third Monday in July. Suppose great
majority of the whites, not disfran chised fol.
low Gov Perry's ad vice; that is. get registered
and vote I" no onveDtion"-what good will
they do! The blacks Will vote as a unit, and
the convention is certain to be held. The New
York Times and Commercial Adcertiser, both
conservative journals, condemn the advice of
GOV Perry, the latter saying it will prove to
be as Intellectual as il is uHwise What Is true
OF South Carolina is doubtless true of the re. i.
naming Southern States, and it is a knowledge
OF this fact that causes the people to be up aud
moving instead Of following the course of
apathy and delay recommended by Governor
Perry. E-....
To show the character of the advice now

thizers, we notice the Baltimore Gazette is in.

White. the latter will have other and greater
cause for disquietude than the fear OF losing
