= Gov. Perry has writtcn another letter on
the subject of the reconstruction bills, ad.
| dressed toAho Columbia phmnix," in whicb
he reiterates his long and faithful devotion to
tshe Union, and that he had raised lis warn.
sing VOICE sgainst secession and tho fatal del,.
'sion orSiorMing Southern Confcdcracy and
I'VE know personally that he had rcpeatcdly
dee'ared that the extinction Of the lIn;n1
would be the death-kncl of slavery Tlis is
all true, aid if the love of Southern man for
the Union could entitlc any man to tic hon.
ors OF toaEonlzation, universal consent would
decree and award to Gov. Perry that saiutly
ionor. lis elegant manhood aud large pa
Hrlot'sn is known of all men, and equally 80
are his Northern proclivitics. Therefore. no
'one con doubt that whatever counsel he ma,
give booking to u restoration of the Union,
his intentions arc pure and his declarations
are sincere But Mr.. Pcrry's purity and sin.
Ncerley, his love for the Union, his prophetic
reach, als high sense Of honor his Just inlie
NATION against the atrocities of the military
dill, his devotion to liberty and love of South
'Carolina, cannot aud will not save us in this

sand detessation arc appreciated aud felt hv thc
people OF the Soutl, as he feels them. for, in
decd, tho destruction of the Stat. Govern.
1ncnts OF tho South is tho most atrocin,,s crime
chat the world has ever witnessed But what

to the people of this State in the c,ucr,cncv
We knew of no other leading man OF South
Carolina who gives tho same advice Ana
what is that? 1t is simply that every man
who is not dislranchiscd should register his
name; that when the elections are held he
should vote for tho best and wisest men but
%nto On his ticket "no convention" We'll.
\ what then Why, wait until something turns
Np, that's all We think tiis is The substance
OF Mr.. Ierly's advice, and in his second letter

under these circumstances, that every frc I'd

stop to ask whether it be constitutional ur not,
tllat he should have the right of uhra-c,
