Register! Register! /!

In an article strongly urging the importance
of registering, the Richmond Times says, very
truly that, 'by every white man in Virginia who
is entitled to vote taking care to register, the
cause of law and order and the supremacy OF
the white race will be made secure. We have
a clear conservative majority of thirty thousand
in this State, and if we fail to poll our strength
we shall deserve to suffer- We merely ask ou1
people to register and vote for candidates who
are honest, fair-minded and impartial. They
should condemn and discourage all attempts to
erect party platforms by the adoption of sense
less and unmeanng resolutions. All that sort
ofpolitical jugglery is unworthy ofour manhood,
and will prove exceedingly injurious to our flu
ture interests. But registration is something
upon which our very lives and property depend,
and the Virginian who neglects or fails to regis
ter and vote will commit crime against his

The Convention--Gov. Perrys Letter.

We would invite the special attention of all
our readers to the very able letter OF Gov. b.
F. Perry, of South Carolina, on the question OF
voting for or against Convention. Gov. Per-
~ is an able, sagacious and patriotic statesman,
and his wise counsels deserve calm and delibe-
rate consideration He, though a South Caro-
linian. has never been a secesSionist, but be-
longed to that class, which constituted majority
of the Southern people before the war, the
members of which were then called Union
men," To use his own language, his whole
political life has been spent in fighting for the
Union, and trying to ward off that fell spirit OF
disunion which has brought unnumbered woes
upon South Carolina but he will ''never de-
grade himself, or his State, or surrender his
constitutional rights, or republican principles to
get back into the Union He says: Il will
live under a military Government, no matter
how absolute and despotic it may be, and be-
oueath it to my children, sooner than vote
negro Government for South Carolina, which
every man will do who votes fora Convention
He urges earnestly upon the people OF his
State, as they value life, and honor and prop
erty and the peace of society, to register and
vote. and to vote against the Contention, for,
saws he. Sin this way alone can we maintain
our honor, preserve the peace of society, pre-
vent black suffrage and division of lands

DEAR SIR.-Dr Castor sailed for Brazil on
the 22d of April with 100 emigrants from South
Carolina, and Georgia. and SO from Texas. He
has left the sale of his book in the hands of
Prof r. L. Brumby, Marietta, Georgia. Since
the first of January more than 1000 emlgrants,
in four companies, have left the South for Bra
z besides smaller parties and individuals in
considerable numbers. If their reports are gen.
orally favorable, many others will 60. Almost
all of those intend settling on the Ignape River

suppose the emigrants from our country will
chiefly concentrate in that region. 1t furnishes
wide extent of unsettled territory, very fertile
land, a delightful climate, and if we can believe
the testimony of many Witnesses good health.
The temperature is so equable, the air so pure,
and the country so free from swamp and MAS
matte conditions, that one would suppose it
must be healthy for any body from any latitude.

anteed by the Constitution of the Empire.
The Brazians are the least bigoted Of all papal
nations, the Pope has less power, even over
church affairs, than in any other Roman Cath

enlightened and liberal.

participation in all civil and political privileges,
the influx of Yankees and foreigners, encour-

by inducements too powerful for human nature

Register and Vote.

In our issue of April, the End, we urged up
on our readers the importance Of registering
and voting. Every one who can register should
do so, and all that register should vote, and
should vote for good men to represent us. We
have more danger to apprehend from the State
Government than from the Federal Government
unless all who can register will do SO, and vote
for suitable representatives. If the better por.
ton of citizens fail to register and vote, the
government will be controlled by the negroes
and their Radical allies, when there will be nc
security either for property or liberty.
