Plain Talk from Governor Pcrry.

The tono aud temper of your article yes.
tcrday morning, en- Primary Elections" do
equal credit to your hear! aud head, rs well
as your patriotism and Democracy. II ia to
bo sincerely hoped that tho Democratic party
in oyery county in the State will adopt your
advice and rally to u man, in fghtng the
common enemy Of their country and cYiliaa-
ton. Tho nomination Of candidates is notho
ing moro than tho selection Of standard
bearers before marching into battio. In
stead Of letting their zeal subside after q
primary election, they should DO encouraged
to renewed cxertion.
For The last four years wo hnvo had IN
honest government in South Carolina aud tho
State has beon peaceful, prosperous and
happy; and it is passing strange That any
white man of sense or principlo, should now
wish to restore to power that infamous black
Republican party which for eight long years
disgraccd South Carolina, plnndcled hor
treasury aud oppressed the citizens With
grievons and intulerabo taxutiou. Every
true Democrat. and every honorable n,an
should rso up in Tho majesty Of his strenyth
and swear Oh tho alter Of his country ana his
God that Tho shall not Io. lot the conScQacu-
ceB bo whaf They may. The poor, miserable,
unprlnciplcd whito niAn who tries to restora
the Radical party to power in South Carolina
should be socially ostracised and not even
epoken to on the streets. He should DO treat.
cd as m enemy to his race, "ha$iis humo1i
gencus." Tho colorod man should be told
that bis leaders arc making tools Of him only
to crafty thei. pi.nblo ambition aud hnvo
chance OF etcaling his hard earnings lie
should be told, too, that ifho will veto TO plac,
rogues and sconn1rcls in oflico and power,
no honorable Democrat will employ him in
any way. This should be resolved ON and
adhered to throughout the Stac-Social ostra.
c'sm for tho whito man aud no employment
for tho colorcd man.
There never was before political party in
South Carolina which had such an instructive
attraction for mean mon, unprincipled men,
poor miserable mon, ambitious Of petty hon
ors and public notoricty. 1t is we'll known
that tho Radical party are organizing their
iorccs, aud it bchooyos tho Democratic party
to DO united aud fight mun(ully for their
property and honor. lie who docs not and
stays at homo whom tho election comes on is a
traitor to h's party, his principles, and to his
country. B. T., PERRY.
