Gov. Perry's Letter.
The reader will find in this issue another
letter from M?j. Perry, ott the political
course of himself and others.?
Like everything else emanating from
Lira, where honesty and integrity Are
concerned, a high sense of honor and
manly tone pervades his entire letter.
Although first and last for the Union,
. Maj. Perry lias very little confidence or
respect for the Radicals, or their government.
With Gov. Perry, we hope
there is sufficient patriotism in the
. 1 American people to preserve the gov
'' ernment of tbrir fathers ; although with
us, it is almost hoping against hope.
[Kcowct Courier.
To the Editor of the Hev>
Herald; ,
In your paper of the Olh instant you
say t u The great obstacle in the South
to restoration, is the old political and
secession leaders. Such men as Wade
Ilarapton, Governors Orr and Perry, of
South Carolina, Stephens, of Georgia,
Patton, of Alabama, Humphreys, of
Mississippi, Worth, of North Carolina,
jt tirs tr: !_?- ?
uu ii ih! iii t Mgn.ia, are ins rem enem
if 8 of the South. They lead the
people astray ; they do not seem to understand
the real issue ; they are still
secessionists ; they are, 1n fact, in a state
- secession, though not in armed rebellion."
I beg leave to offer a few words in
reply to this grave charge, so far as I
myself am concerned. The other gentlemen
are abundantly able to take care
of themselves, and need no defence
from me. I am not now, sir, nor nev
er was a secessionist: I never believed
In its policy, wisdom, constitutionality,
or auccess. My whole political life attests
the truth of what I say. In 1828,
when the Srat symptoms of nullification
and disunion were manifested in South
Carolina, though a very young man, I
threw myself in the breach, separated
politically from my most personal friends
and breasted the storm with all the power
I could. Mr. Calhoun's great erpott
of the doctrines of nullification, written
for the adoDtion of (ha I*oi?l?tnr? wa?
published about this time. I dissented
from the doctrine* it promulgated, and
pointed out their, fuinoua and fatal oot?sequences.
In 18S3, I was a membei
of the Stale Convention, called for the
purpose of nullifying the tariff laws, and
than and there raised my voice againsi
those doctrines, which 1 believed so pernicious
and furious.
? - In 1850, I was again a member o
* the 8tete Convention, called for the pur
pose of aeoeeding from the Union.?
Again I opposed this inoveirent as rev
elotioqary end destructive of the pesee
happiness and prosperity of Sooth Car
olina. All the newspapers in the St*t<
having espoused the cause of secessioi
and disunion, I proposed to a few friend

While acting a* Provisional Governor
of South Carolina, in farewell address
to the Legislature. 1 said to them,
frankly, fcnd with all sincerity, that there
was not a man in America.at the seces
ftion of the State*, who regretted more
deeply than I did, the unfortunate move
ment. I had opposed it with untiring
real and perseverance, for thirty, year*,
till I was left almost alone in the State.
The District of Greenville, which had
never failed to sustain me in any elec
tion, when I was a candidate for more
than the third of a century, at last repudiated
my claims for a seat ia the
disunion Convention of i860.
When my native Srate, however, had
seceded, and was followed t>y ten or
twelve other States, I could not, with
the Revolution of 1770 fresh in my
memory, say that eight milliousof people
bad not the revolutionary right to
protect themselves against apprehended
tytennv attd oppression,, bv "dissolving
I lie political bonds which have connected
them with i not her, and to assuma
among the powers of the earth the separate
and equal station to which the
laws oT nature and of nature's God entitle
them," and instituting a new Gov*
eminent, laying its foundation on such
principles, and organizing its powers in
such form, as to them shall seem most
likely to effect their safety and happiness.
The declaration of American Independence
had boldly proclaimed that
" all governments derive their just pow
ers from the consent of the governed "
This principle had been held sacred by
the American people. North and South.
When the secession revolution was in
augnrated with such unanimity in all of
the Southern States, I felt it to be iny
duty to stand by my country and home
and friends, and fight with them instead
of fighting against them, and share
their fate, whatever that m'glit be. All
my sympathies were, therefore, with the
South, and I wit-bed her success as sin

When lite Confederate States wore
conquered, and had to give up those
cherished principles for which they had
made so many and such great sacrifices,
and had defended for four long, bloody
years, with a gallantry awd daring never
surpassed in Grecian or Roman history,
the people everywhere submitted in
good faith, to the stern decrees of war
on the field of battle. They determined
to renew their allegiance to the United
States, and once more pledged theii
honor as a people to the National Government.
Never was there a pledge
given in better faith, or one which would
have been kept by the people. In good
faith, all the suggestions of the President,

So do the first would be acknowledging
their inferiority to the North, and a
sacrifice of- their 'political rights as n
Republican-people. To accept the.seond
alternative qyould be destruction of
the very end rif society and government.
We are likewise required by this amendment
to ostracise all the leading men of
the South, all who have ever held, offices
in any of the Southern States, from
the chief magistrate |?> the constable.?
In fact, the amendment is a Rill of attainder
of all who have been honored
by their fellow citizens. It is an exjwst
facto law, ptrni-hing hundreds of thousands
for past offences. The American
Constitution wisely prohibits Rill of attainder
and fx post faCto laws. The
last section of the amendment utterly
wipes out all tho rights of the States and
centralizes all power in Congress. This
. is done, pot openly, but covertly and
insiduously. How can you expect, sir,
a brave and honorable people to volun- |
tarilv vote their oyn inferiority,-di-hon (
or and destruction I If we are to he j |
disfranchised, dishonored, and have the I i
seeds of our own detraction sown
nmungstus, it must be done by others,
and noi by ourselves. Let tne assure
you, sir, that the people of the South
have honor and sagacity enough to re*
j"Ct with scorn and indignation this
constitutional Amendment, without be
ing led by any one. If it is impos&l on
them by others they w ill have to submit
to it, but they will not voluntarily impose
it upon themselves. A man may
not be able to prevent being robbed,
but he will not voluntarily gi\e up his
money to a rogue. lie may not be
ablt to protect himself from nssansina
lion, but this is no reason why he should
cotnntil suicide. 1 am sure thisconrti'
lutional amendment can ncV^r be adopt'
ed by twenly-six State.*, and I do not
believe the Radical leaders ever expected
it would be adopted.
Now, if adopted, 1 ; tu confident that
1 it would not sati-fy their malignity and
revenge towards the South, or their love
of power dishonorably and fraudulently
obtained. Nothing will satisfy them
but universal negro sotirago and the
disfranchisement of a Inrominent South
crn men, who do uot act wiih them in ^
1 carrying our their nefarious purposes? 4
Their object is to establish the perm.-in
ent rule of the Radical party, secure the ,
i next Presidential election, and exclude
. Northern Democrats, as well as South' ,,
i ern men, from all influence in (he Gov
emment. Put I do not despair of the

From President Lipcolu's first Proclamation
celling for tropps, to hie last,- he
announced ihat there was an 'insurrettion
" in the Southern States, which be
was bound to suppress, lie never re*
oognized the right of secession. If the
Southern Stale#.had a right to secede
from the Union of the United States,
iherfi could be no " insurrection " with*
in them, against the Uniied Sta'es.?
They were independent States, rightful
ly controlling their own destinies and
people, over whom the Government of
the United Stales had no authoiity.
The Uniied Stales might make war up
on them, as any people may, with,
Dr without good cause, on any other
people ; but there could be no " insur*
reel ion " unless, indeed, there was re?
tistaiico to the authority of the States,
by auy portion of the people of the
States. Dul in that event, the " incur*
reclion " would he against the Southern
States by a portion of their people, not
tgainsl the Uniled Slates. In this view,
t* tho Southern States look nothing
from ;he United States, hut simply urn
ierlouk to govern themselves separately
by secessiou, a logical conclusion might
be drawn, that the war against them
was a wrong?in inception?in continuance,

upon it, <hat the Southern States were
tlill in the Union of the United States,
tinder the Constitution of the United
Stales; and that, then fore, the resist
itice to the Constitution and laws of the
United States, in the Southern States,
by virtue of their secession, was nolhng
but " insurrection." And as by the
JoDAtitulion of tlie United States, the
Government of the United Slates was
luiborited to " to suj.precs insurrections"
11 the Stales, ho only obeyed the manlaten
of tho Const*, .ition, in striving to
put insurrection down in the Southern
States, in order that they may be liberated
from the disturbances it produced,
?nd be competent and-free to discharge
heir obligations, and participate in tbu
benefit* tiie Union and the Constitution
jf the United States conferred. These
were President Lincoln's positions in
junification of the war. '1 he/ ull go
upon the presumption that secession
was a nulitv as a riyht, and merely crested
an insurrection; and that the
Southern States were Slates within the
Union, and under tkn Constitution ?>i
the United States, and had not changed
and could Dot change by secession these
States, as Slates of ilia United States.
Did Congress support apd ratify these
views of l'resideni Lincoln ? Every
Act of Congress to carry on the war
affirmed thenv. The very first act to
raise troops to carry on the war, recites
thai an 44 insurrection " exists in the
Southern Stales, which the Government
:>f the United States is boond 10 sup
press. The Southern States are cull?-d
" insurrectionary States," and by resolutions
passed unanimously by both
brandies of Congress, they distinctly re
pudiate any design of subjugation, and
aim only al restoration of the Southern
States, liberated from 41 insurrection " to

prerogative and duty under the Constitution,
as the Executive of (he United
Sts'.es, to declare that " insurrection "
existed against the authority and Government
of the United Slated?so it
was Pre?idoht Johnson's prerogative and
duty to announce when the " insurrection
M was suppressed. This, President
Johnson bas done. Ilis proclamation
declaring that the " insurrection " has
been suppressed, did not, in the slightest
degree, affect the Stnlasof the Southern
Stales. It did not restore them to the
Union. They had never been oui of it.
It was simply an announcement that
the obstacles which " insurrection " had
produced against the regular and order

their relations and duties as members of
the United States, were now removed.
From the day tbis proclamation was Issued,

ows ftnd orphans of the Southern States.
We find the following in the proceedings
of the Richmond City Council last
week :
" Gen. Rosser being introduced to
the Council, after paying a handscme
tribute to the people of Baliimpre?the
buties especially?mentioned the formation
of a Southern Orphan Association
there, with the object qf establishing an
asyfemn for the orphans of Southern
soldiers and snilois. After duo delibeialion
on the part of the members of
the Association, it was determined to
make Richmond the place for the asylumn.
He had been sent on as a managing
director, to make a proposition to
the Council, by which the funds of the
Association could be considerably enhanced.
The house formerly occupied
by Mr. JoflVrson Davis, was owned by
the City of Richmond, and the proposition
in view was that the property be
turned over to the Association at a slip
ulated prico. and upon stated terms.?
The Association could, after getting possession
of the property, ihfile il oil at a
great profit, lie (Gen. Rosser) commit
nicatcd with the ladies of the Association
in Baltimore, and they succeeded
in securing the efforts of a gentleman of
influence at W'asbingion. That gentleman
had written him a note, lellintr I im
that there was a good chance for the release
of the property in sixteen or .eighteen
days. Duiing the discussion, it
was shown thnt the. home, lot and fur
ni:tire had cost the city, in 1801, $42,200
? ?7,200 of which had been paid
for the furniture The property had
boen.asf-essed at $28."700 in 1801. Seva
ral propositions were put to the Council
and rejected, and I lie motion of Mr.
Saunders, making a sale of the properly
to Gen. Uosser, as agent for the Orphan
Association, for $40,000, or $35,000
without the furnituro, was carried."
The plan for founding this as\lumn
is ns follows : 500,000 certificates, of
$1 each, will ha sold, and on the 1st
May next, or before, if all the tickets
are d'spo.?ed of sooner, a drawing w ill
he held in ttie City of Richmond, under
the superintendence of the Mayor and
a committee of the Council, at which
2,000 prir.es, none of less than $100,
will be awarded.
Among the prizes to be awarded is

Mr. Jerome, jn making this gift,

We copy the following paragraph
from' Friday's Constitutional Union,

The New York Herald, of the I7fh
Wy7)t,htla, t#oiftf8teson the subject |
of the impeachment of the President,
which for malignity and falsification of
history have no parrallel in jjurnalism.
While red-handed treason held the pen,
bitter and unrelenting enmity to the
Constitution and our form of Govern*
ment fired (be brain which was bold
and wicked enough to say to the world
that what it call* the " misdemeanors'*
of the President " render him liable to
impeachment."
The transparent design of these arlteles
is to move the minds of weak*
kneed Jacobin Republicans up to their
woik. Let tbem take this ad rice, proceed
in their wicked designs, and some
morning, in other places and m new
condition, they will realize the bitter
consequences. Indeed, as the IleralJ
says, " the struggle is still going on."?"The
great Union movement of the
war will run its course," bat not as the
Ilerald applies it?to utterly destroy
the Government, but to save it, and if
necessary, its strong and iron band will
be invoked to stay the course and pres
rent the consummation of Radical treason.
The great oath of the President
to proieci nn?i attend the Constitution
will not bo forgotten, and tbo people
who sustain him, with their five hundred
thousand majority of the voting
population, Noiih and South, will not
forget bim. The Herald cares not for
consequences. Nothing would please
it so much as to see ruin and anarchy
rampant. Let those who would takj
its adGee beware.
t'l'ON WHOM CAN CONGRESS CALL?
Events have already brought the Government
to the very verge of another
revolution. If the Radical majority in
Congress pursues its treasonable 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 end South,
and the army and the navy will respond.
In such a cot)lest the issue cannot be
doubful. Congressmen may be valiant
fighters on the floor of Congress, but
when they come to lead their cohorts
into the field it will bo another thing.
The real armies iad great soldiers of
the Republic will be found fighting under
the Flag! We advise the opposition
of the determined and fixed fact
that Andrew Johnson will serve out his
constitutionalteim of office.

Menagcrio-of Drunkards.
The moat foolish predicament a man
can gel into is to get drunk. In drunkenness
every man show* his strongest
and most ardent passion, There, are
six kinds of drunkards And if you ^ ill
go into a city diinking place, whero
there are a dozen men under the influence
of liquor, you will be sum to find
the-e six different animals.
The first is ape-drunk. He leaps,
and sings, and yells, and dances, mak~
ing all sorts of grimaces, and cutting up
all sorts of " monkey shUtes " to excite
the laughter of his fellows 1 O, terribly
billy is tbo drunkard clowm.
The second is tiger diunk. He breaks
the hotlfes, breaks the cb?irs, breaks
tbo heads of fellow-rarousers, and is full
of blood and (bunder. His eyes are
fired with vengeance, and bi?soul raves
willi murderous fury. Of this ?orl are
those who abuse their families.
The third is hog drunk. lie rolls
In the dirt on the floor, slobbers and
grunts* and goiug 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.
The fourth Is puppy drunk. He
will weep for kindness, and whine
his love and hgg you in his aims, and
kiss you with his slobbery lips, and
proclaim bow much he loves you.? ^
You are the best man he ever savr,
and will lay down his mouey or life
for you.
The fifth Is owl-drunk. lie is wise i
