Gov. Perry's Letter.

The reader will find in this iss ue an.
other letter from Maj. Perry, Oh the po.
.aiticsl course of himself and OTHERS
Like everything else emansting from
him, where, honesty and integrity are
concerned, high sense of honor, and
manly tone pervadss bis entire letter.
Although first and last for the Union,
Maj Perry has very little confidence or
respect for the Radicals. or their gov.
ernment. With Gov. Perry, we hope
there is sufficient patriotism in the
American people to preserve the gov.
eminent of their fathers although with
US, il is almost hoping against hope.

The New ~ Tosk Herald, Of The. / tn
l49taDt, has two articles Of, the slbiect
of the inpeachment Of the President.
Which for malignity and faIsification os
history have no parallel in journalism.
While red.h snded treason held the pen,
bitter and nnrelenting enmity 10 the
Constitution and our form of Govern.
ment Gred the brain which was bold
and wicked enough to say 10 the world
that what it calls the" misdemeanors
of the President render him liable to
impeachment."':e s:->rs -
The transparent design Of these ar.
licles. is to move the minds of weak
kneed Jacobin Republicans up to their
work. Let them take this advice, pro-
ceed in their wicked designs, and some
morning, in other places and in new
condition, they viii realize the bitter
consequences. Indeed, as the Herald
SAYS, the struggle is still going on
"The great Union movement of the
wal. will run its course" bu. not as the
Herald applies ito utterly destroy
the Government, but 10 save it, and il
necessary, its strong and iron hand will
be invoked 10 stay the course and pre~
vent the contamination of Radical trea-
son. The great oath of the President
to protect and defend the Constitution
will not bo forgotten, and the people
who sustain him, with their five hun
dred thousand majority of the voting
population, Nouh and South, will not
forget him. The Herald cares not for
consequences. Nothing would please
il so much as to see ruin and anarchy
rampant. Let those who would TAX,
Its advice beware.
UPON WHOM CAN CONGRESS- CALI
Events have already brought the Gov.
ernTent TO the very verge of another
revolution. IL the Radical majority in
Congress pursues its reasonable course
much longer, the Government, in order
to sustain itself, will have to arm its
supporters. At the call of the Presi.
dent, all his friends, North and South
and the army and the navy will respond. g.
In such contest the issue cannot be
doubtful. Congressman may be valiant
fighters on the floor of Congress, but
when they come TO lead their cohorts
into the FIELD it will be another thing.
The real armies aud great soldiers Of
the Republic will be found fgh,ing un-
der the Flagl We advise the opposi-
ton of the determined and fixed fact
that Andrew johnson will serve ou: his
consli;utionaitesm Of Office.

A Menagerie> of Drunkards.

The most foolish predicamenl man
can get into is to get drunk. In drunk
enness every man shows his strongest
and most ardent passion. There are
six kinds of drunkardS, and if you will
go into city drinking place, where
there are a dozen men under the iDfu.
ence Of liquor, you viii be sure 10 find
these six different animals.
.The first is ape>drunk. He leaps,
and sings. and yells, and dances, max
ing all sorts Of grimaces, and cutting up
all sorts Of monkey shines ITO excite
the laughter of bis fellows o, terribly
silly is the drunksrd clown.
The second is tiger drunk. BE breaks
the bottles, breaks the chairs, breaks
the heads Of fel!ow.carousers, and Is full
of blood and thunder. His eyes are
fired with vengeance, and bis soul raves
with murderous fury, or this sort are
those who abuse their families.
The third is hog drunk. He rolls
In the dirt on the tloo-, slobbers and
grunts, and going into the street makes
his bed in the first ditch or filthy corner
he may happen to fall into. He is
heavy, lumpish, and sleepy, and cries
in a grunting way for a little more to
drink. p.
The fourth Is puppy drunk. He
will weep for kindness and , whine
his love and hug you IN his arms, aud
kiss you with his slobbery lips, and
proclaim how much he loves you
You are the best man he ever saw,
and will lay down his money or life
for you. '.-.E'.>.
The fifth Is owl-drunk. He is wise
in his own conceit. No man must
differ with him, for his word is law
He is. true in politics, and all matter
must be taken as authority. His arm
is the strongest. his voice the sweetest,
his horse the feetest, his turnips the
largest, his town the finest of all in the
room or land. e.. -. -rj--
The sixth and last animal of our
menagerie 10 the fox drunkmaa. lie is
C, ATTY, ready to trade horses and cheat
if he can. Keen to strike bargain,
leering around with low Gun ming, peep
ing through cracks, listening under the
caves, watching for some suspicious
thing, sly as a fox, sneakipg as a wolf,
he is the meanest drunkard Of them all.
