Letter from Hon. B. F. Perry.
[From Mio Columbia Phoenix.]
. " Tho United States shall guaruntce to cv
ory State in this Union a ropublioan form of
government."-Section 4, Article IV, Con
stitution of the United States of America.
Under this authority, tho Congress of the
United States, after excluding from tho;r
seats tho Senators and Representatives of len
Southern States, has established io all of tho
excluded States a military government, abso
luto und unlimited in its powers ! It is well j
known that these States hove exhausted their
power and nsources in a gallant and lieroio
Struggle for independence and self govern
ment. They now have no alternative but un
qualified submission to tho military despotism
thrown over them. It is to be boped, and it
is generally believed, that Military cominan
ders in tho Southern States will exorcise their
despotic powers wisely and humanely. It is
ibo administration of a government, and not
tho form of a government, which makes it
odious and oppressive. A despotism, wisi ly,
justly and virtuously administered, is thc most
perfect government that cnn be established.
It is the government of Cod, established by
bim for thc government Of tho universe.
Five or six months ugo, South Carolina,
with all the other Southern States, rejected,
with scorn und indignation, the constitutional
amendment, which proposed to oxeludo from
office their loudb ? nen, and reduoc their rep
resentation in Congress, unless they permit
ted universal negro suffrage. Now, it is pro
pose 1 by tho military bill nut only to exclude
mis class of persons, from nineo, but, to dis'
franchise them and exclude them from voting
io all elections, mid at the same time'tn en
franchise their former slaves and give univer
sd suffrage to the negro. Strange to say,
that there aro many persons in tho Southern
Stat?s whoso bi?b sense of honor Wolild mil
let them adopt thc constitutional amendment,
who are now urging the people to voluntarily
swallow ibo military bill, regardless of honor,
principle or consistency. I am happy to konw
that they are secessionist aud never wore Un
ion mun.
The inquiry is, which, then, shall we do?
Wlltl \ have been writing, the telegraph
brings thc glorious news that Mississippi ami
Georgia bavo appealed to the judiciary for tho
protection of their constitutional rights as
sovereign States of thc American Union.
Would to God that South Carolina stood bj
the side of Mississippi and Georgia, in this
their last noble ol?brt to maintain their digni
ty and honor as States and just rights ami
liberties of their citizens. If this last, grand,
expiring effort in favor of freedom should
fail, then tho South will have tu quietly meet
thc tyranny of Congress ; but, itt meeting,
she need not embrace tho hideous thing.
When the military order is issued for a reg
istration of voters, let everyman, not disfran
chised, ?0 forward and register his name.
When the election is ordered for a convonttor,
it will bo the duty of every voter to cast bis
vote for the wisest, best and most trustworthy
men, who aro eligible to su its in that conven
tion. This much he is forced to do for self
protection, and to koop tho State Government
from falling into tho bands nf unworthy and
base men. He need go no further. Let him
then endorse on bis iieket, .? iVb ron vent ion.'
If bo is a patriot and an honorable mau, he
cannot desire tho change which the military
bill contemplates, and be should not vote o
pel
With the cunning which always character
izos thc tyrant, Congress has enacted that
the. people themselves shall endorse the edi
of a convention, in order to give legal validi
ty to its acts. Without this endorsement,
thc whole proceeding might bc regarded as
forced on tho States by the military govern
meut. and. therefore, null ami void. Hence,
the trick of making the people, endorse th?
call of n convention. It is to bc boped that
they will not bo caught by this cunning de
vice, nnd that they may be able to influence
their freedmen to act with them. Hut should
a majority of the votes bo for a convention,
theo, it is to assemble, and not otherwise.
When it assembles, the honor and destiny of
the State will bo in its keeping.
Hut if tho pcoplo should vote " no conven
tion," what then ? The honor and dignity
of the States will, nt least, not be thereby
sacrificed by their citizone. Wc shall remain
as we are, under a military rulo till there is a
reaction at tho North. It has already com
menced in Connecticut, and will sooner or la
ter, sweep over tho whole N n th -western and
Middle States. Then wo shall bo restored to
our rights in the Union, with honor unsullied
j and thc right of suffrage unchanged, Let us
await this Democratic triumph, bo it a hun
dred years, rather than seek new associations
with our Black Republican tyrants and op
pressors, and bc guilty of tho baseness of
abandoning our friends at the North, who
have nobly defended our cause, for two years
past, and sacrificed themselves in the struggle
for Southern Rights and constitutional free
dom.
If wo are unwilling to bear tho ills to which
we aro subjected, for the maintenance of hon
or and prineiplo, then wo deservo our destiny.
It is said that, if wo do not accept the degra
ding terms now offered, worse will bo imposed !
Have wo any assuranco that worse may not bo
imposed, if wo do accept ? Like tho wo
man who consented to ber own dishonor to
save tho lifo of her husband, and was then
made to witness bis execution ! There is no
faith in tyrants. Threats of confiscation are
futile. Almost everyone lins boon pardoned,
by taking tho amnesty oath or hy special ap.
Elication. The Southern people may bo rot
ed and murdered, but their property cannot
bo confiscated.
In order to dobauoh prominent Southern
men, offers hnvo boen mado in Congress to re
move their disabilities, and, it would seem,
not without success ! Threats to tho many,
and bribes to a few, is the policy adopted for
radicalising tho Southern States. With uni
versal negro suffrage and debauched politi
cians, wo may bid farewell to nil hope of re
publican institutions. Virtue and intelligence
alone cnn sustain o republic. When the ne
gro lins acquired intelligence to understand
bis political rights, and property to make him
feel sn intorest in tho proper exercise of them,
im - i M .?,""". I "i^'^J-L-lL- 'J'J-'lLlia I
ho should bo allowed to vote. This princi
pio has boen adopted in most of tho Northern
Suites, and is wisc and just. But it is wicked
to put bullots ?uto tho hands of those who will
bo the passivo tools of their employers, or tho
mischievous agents of Black llupublicun em
issaries.
Nothing cnn ho more unjust und iniquitms
than thc discriminating disfranchisement of
thc military hill. A Union man, whose lifo !
hus been spent in trying to maintain thc in- .
tegrity of the Union, b?t who was a member
of thc Legislature or a Judge ten or twenty j
years ugo, and who, after bis State seceded, '
fed or clothed a son in the Confederate army,
is disfranchised ! Hut the man whose whole
life may have been spent in treasonable efforts
tn destroy the Union, involve tho country in a
bloody civil war, who was a leading member
of thc Secession Convention, mid afterwards
a distinguished General in thc Confederate ar
my, hurling bis command agnin.-t the United I
States forces in a hundred bloody fields of bat- j
tie, is not disfranchised, unless ho had pre
viously taken an oath to support thc Consti
tution of tho United States ! Thcro ure many
tUtttaucoB of this character which might bo
mentioned, showing the injustice and folly
of this disfranchisement. lt is believed that j
neither G?n?rais Beauregard, ll ill, Magruder, ;
nor General Leo himself, the illustrious com- !
mnuder-in-chief of the Confederate forces, is '
disfranchised. But tho humble Union mag
istrate, who relieved tl o distresses of n son
or friend in thc Confederate a: my is disfran
chised 1 I
There is not the remotest ho, cor probabil
ity of thu Southern States bei nu reston d to
the Union till after tho next Presidential cloe- '
lion. Why. then, shall wo voluntarily de
lirado ourselves, and give up our doun-ht pol
cal rights for a delusion i if dishonor must
como, do not embrace it. ll wc arc to wear
manacles, h t them be put on by our tyrants,
not by uuiAulvt'ft. If a mun threatens to kick
you, self respect would forbid your exposing
your person to him and asking him to kick
you at. i nco and bc done with it. We have
lived already two years under military rule,
in great poverty und distress, and have boen
cheered all the time by lin consciousness that
we are not a degraded, though a conquered,
people. Wo can continue to live in the sallie
way two years longer, or, if need be, ton
yours; and feel a pride in knowing that we
have maintained our honor, and made every
effort possible to preserve our freedom and
constitutional rights A mau who fools thal
lu; has dishonored himself, is lost j and so it
is with a people.
Let ils live quietly and peaceably, attend
ing (diligently to our various vocations ill lift
- obeying patiently thc powers that tie; but
never think of voluntarily voting away our
rights as a State or nur honor and freedom ns
men. Let us trust in returning senso of jus
