Provisional Governor Perry’s Mes
sage to the South Carolina Legis
lature.
Gov. Perry's Message to the South
Carolina Legislature, nfc>w in session, is
published in the Charleston papers.—
Wa make the following extracts con
taining the principal points of interest out
side the State.
After remarking upon bis own position and
how he came into it, the Governor reviews
the action of the State Convention and
the changes effected in the State Constitution.
He then touches upon the duties of citizens
under this
m:w obder or things.
Such, gentlemen, is the new Constitution
under which you have ..assembled, and
which, it is hoped, will inspire the people of
South Carolina with new Democratie zeal
and energy in developing, intellectually and
physically, the talent and resources of the
Stale. It is true that, under the old regime,
South Carolina has given the Itepubiic a
bright galaxy of names which she may well
be proud of; but her material prosperity as
a State has not kept pace with that of her
Southern sisters. Her population has been
moviug to the Southwest till there are, at
this time, almost as many native South Caro
linians living in other States as there are in
this State. They have drained the State too,
of her wealth and energies. For the last
thirty or forty years we have likewise been
oblivious of all internal improvement in our
fruitless and vexatious supervison of the ac
tion of the Federal Government. Agricul
ture has Deen neglected, manufactures almost
ignored, and commerce despised. Foreign
immigration, which lias filled other States
with wealth and population, developed their
resources and made them happy, prosperous
and powerful, has been discouraged in
South Carolina. Her riches have been ex
hausted by her dependence on others for al
most every thing she consumed or needed.
We have been dependent on the Western
States lor our horses, mules, cattle and hog 9,
bacon, lard, and beef. From the Northern
States, we have received the furniture of our
houses, and implements of our farms and
the carriages in which we rode,
and the clothes which we wore.
This policy must no longer be continued.
It should be the pride of every farmer and
planter iu the State to raise, grow or make
everything which he uses or needs, Slavery
has been abolished, and labor made more
honorable as well us more necessary. They
who have Heretofore spent their lives in ease
and idleness will be forced to work. Plant
ing and the learned professions are no longer
the only honorable means of livelihood for
our young men. They must become trades
men, manufacturers, farmers and mechanics.
Immigration of industrious foreigners must
he encouraged. Then manufacturers will
spring up, commerce will revive, and we
shall become an independent people.
The emancipation of our slaves will, in all
probability, abstract greatly from the active
labor of the country. Planters and farmers
should dispose of a portion of their lands to
immigrants and capitalists from Europe and
the North. Thjp will increase the wealth
and industry of the State, and render more
valuable the lands which remain unsold. It
will also have a wholesome check on the
colored population,'and strengthen our se
curity from insurrections and violence.—
ThreoTourths of the State of South Caroli
na are uncultivated. Instead of a popula
tion of seven huudred thousand, our territo
ry is sufficient to support one of seven mil
lions, if properly distributed in manufactures,
commerce and agriculture.
THE PKEEDSIEN,
It becomes your urgent, duty, gentlemen,
to make immediate provision for the protec
tion and government of the freedmen and
colored people who have been so suddenly
released from slavery iu their ignorance and
destitution. This is alike due to humanity
and justice, as well as the imperative neces
sities of society. The negro has lost the
protection of his master, and he must bow
be protected by the law. This is expected
of you by the President and the Federal'
Congress, and will remove all pretence for
military rule in the State, as well as facilitate
your speedy restoration to the Union and
sell government. The negro is innocent of
*ll that he has gained and all that you have
lost, and he is entitled to your sympathy and
kindness, your protection and guidance.—
The Convention ordered the Provisional
Governor to appoint a Commission for the
purpose of preparing and submitting to the
legislature tor tueir adoption, a code of laws
lor the protection and government of the
freedmen and colored persohs. In obedience
to their order I have appointed Judge Ward
law and Mr. Burt, two of the most eminent
jurists in the State, to compose this OoouMte
sion. They will, iu due time, re non to you
the result of their labors. The Convention
also authorized the Legislature to establish a
Court in each district for the trial of all cases
in which freedmen are concerned. It be
comes your duty to see that these Courts are
organized.
SPEED* ELECTION OF MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
ADVISABLE.
The election of Members of Congress
should be provided for at as early a day a&
possible. It is a matter of the highest im
portance that our Representatives in Con
gress should be iu Washington, ready to.take
their seats first Monday iu Dec. By Act of
Congress, passed March, 18(13, it is made the'
the duty ot the Clerk of the previous Houso
of Representatives to “make a roll of the
Representatives elect, and place thereon the
the names of all persons, and- such persons
only, whose credentials show that they were
regularly elected in accordance with the
laws of theif States respectively, or the laws
of the United States" It is therefore the,
imperative, duty Os the Clerk to call the roll
Os ibe members of the Southern States,whose
credentials have been exhibited to him, and
shown that they were regularly elected. He
itaß no more right, under this Act,to exclude
the members elect from South Carolina than
be bus to exclude those irom Massachusetts.
The Federal authorities have maintained
that the Union ncvfwas dissolved, and that
the Southern Stptes nave always been, and
still arc, members of that Union.
THE TEST OATH.
Iu July, 18(12, Congress passed an Act
prescribing an oath of. office for all persons
to take who were elected or appointed to
any office ol'honor or profit under the Gov
ernment of the UniterWtates. This oath re
quires the party to stmir that he has never
borne arms against the United States; that
be has never held-or sought office under any
EowtV inimical to the United States; that be
as given uo aid, counsel or countenance to
persons iu hostility to the Unitedßtates; and
that he lias not yieldad a voluntary support to
any authority hostile to the United Btates. If
this oath Is to ho applied to members of
Congress, it will, of course, exclude all from
South Carolina. It may, with truth, be said,
that no limn iu Houllt Carolina can take it
without committing perjury, liut the Con
stitution of the United States prescribes an
oath for members ol Congress to take, and
Ijity cannot ho required to lake any other
oath constitutionally,
Thuro may b«vu been some show of pro
j'llHv lor exuding this oath when It wasen
•ii'U'il, amidst the war tail ween the Houlhein
hlali's ami Hid United Hiatt * ; but lliiN nan
he noun now, unlisa It Ini for the purpose of
schilling the Houiluirn people from an office
llltln I 101 l it>|atlUti Nates, and still hold
g those Nutt* Iu billllsry subjection. J
fa (Ik jlarannalt Jattr Jerald.
know that this is not the policy of the Presi
dent, and I cannot believe that it will be the
avowed policy °f the Federal Congress. If
~ T out .‘ ) l ern members are present when the
r,ou is called by States,-they will take a part
in tne organization of the House, and may
vote agaiust the oath being tendered to the
members when they are sworn.
_ , TH * rEDKBAI. TROOPS IN TIIK STATE.
The reorganization of the militia is a mea
sure of the highest importance, under exist
ing circumstances. I have received informa
tion from the Secretary of State at Washing
ton, that as soon as our Stale Government"is
organized, all the Federal troops would he
withdrawn from South Carolina. We must
then rely on the militia for the protection of
the State against insurrection and domestic
violence. It is a matter of serious considera
tion, however, whether we should nht desire
to retain, for the present, a portion of the
Federal troops hi the State. The freedmen
and colored people look to these troops as
their friends and protectors, and would be
much less likely to have any collision with
them than with the militia. The colored
garrisons, which were at one time stationed
throughout the country, have done infinite
mischief, by inducing the negroes to believe
that all the lands of their former owuefs
were to be divided out amongst them. This
bas made them discontented and unwilling
to make coutraots*for the ensuing year. In
many portions of the State, there are serious
apprehensions of disturbance at the begin
ning of the next year. Strong garrisons
ought *o be continued in Charleston, Beau
fort and Georgetown, where there is such a
preponderance ol the negro population. But'
these garrisons should not be permitteffito
exercise any civil jurisdiction, and should bo
subordinate to civil law. Otherwise their
presence would be productive of more mis
chief than good. _ You will take sucU action
in this matter as in your judgment shall seem
best for the State.
MUCH TO HOPE POR TET.
Iu conclusion, 1 would urge you, gentle
men, to look only to the future in your leg
islation, and forget, so far as you can, the
past. There is much to hope and live for,
yet, in South Carolina. We ahould congratu
late ourselves and the country that civil war
has ceased, and peace is restored to the land.
No longer are our citizens to be forced from
their homes and families and offered a
bloody sacrifice on the field of battle. No
longer is our beloved State to be ravaged and
desolated, and our towns and villages com
mitted to the flames. A merciful Provi
dence bas once more blessed our land with
an abundant crop, and no longer have we
any apprehensions of want ana starvation.
We are in the enjoyment of heahh. Our
young men, noble and gallant soldiers, are
peaceably resuming their former vocations,
and exerting themselves in restoring the
State to her wonted prosperity and happi
ness. No civil broils or deadly feuds are dis
gracing our deopie as in other States. We
lave no political divisions. South Carolina
presented a unit after her act of secession,
and she is now united as one man in return
ing to the Union ; and yv'Ul be as true and
loyal to her plighted faith as any State North
of Mason's and Dixon’s Line. In this respect
there is no difference between former Seces
sionists and old Union men. They all have
equallyat heart the peace, honor, glory and
prosperity of the American Republic. And I
earnestly pray that all your legislation and
deliberations may tend to tbis great purpose,
under the guidance and protection of Al
mighty God. B. F. Perry.

The Great Invention of the Agje
Hoop Skirts,
J. W. Bradley’s Sew Patent Itiipex Ellip
tic (or Double) Spring Skirt.
TIIIS Invention consists of Duplex (or two; Ellptir
Pure Kenned Steel Springs, ingeniously braided
tightly and lirmly together, edge to edge, making the
toughest, most flexible, elastic and durable Spring
ever used. They seldom bend or break, like the Sla
gle Springs. and consequently preserve their perfect
and lieautlful shape more than twice as long a* any
Single Spring Skirt that ever has or can be made.
The wonderful flexibility and great comfnrt and
pleasure to any lady wearing the Duplex Elliptic Skirt
will be experienci and particularly in all crowded Assem
blies, Operas, Carriages, ltailroad Cars, Church Pews.
Arm Chairs, for Promenade and House Dress, as Iho
Skirt can ire folded W'hen in use to occupy a sma!!'
place as easily and conveniently as a Silk or Musliu
Dress.
A lady having enjoyed the pleasure, comfort aud
great convenience of wearing the Duplex Elliptic
Steel Spring Skirt for a single day will never aftcr
natds willingly dispense with their use. For children,
misses and young ladies they are superior to all oth
ers.
The Hoops are covered with 2 ply doable twisted
thread and will wear twice as lung its the single yarn
covering which is used on alt Single Steel Hisiphkirta.
The three bottom rods on every Skirt arc also Double
Steel, and twice or doable covered to preveut the cov
ering from wearing off the rods when dragging down
sluirs. atone steps, Ac., which they are constantly
subject to when lit rue.
All are made of the new and elegant Cos. (led Tapes,
aad are the best quality in every part, giving to the
wearer the moat graceful and perfect shape possible
and are unquestionably the lightest, most desirable,
comfortable and economical Skirt ever made.

Notice to the Public.
IN the year 1846, the writer embarked in the Drag
Bnsineas in the city of Philadelphia, and while thug
ongaged, made several exiwriments In regard to Iho ■
most desirable mode of preparing Fluid KxtraAa My
efforts being-uccessful—the articles being approved acd
■»ed bv the Medical Faculty—l was desirous of placing
them before the public, but hesitaod far sometime
before concluding to resort to newspaper advertising)
knowing of the prejudices that existed in Hie mlndsof
nfcny again* using advertised Medicines or Nostrums,
btit through the advice of friends and those who had
used them this objection was overcome.
Alter 18 y.ars' - xertkms. commencing in a small wav,
the popularity of my articles has extended to all parts
of the United States, and widely throughout Foreign
countries—and this in the face of much oppneition.
Everv means has been resorted to by unprincipled deal
ers since their merit and soccess havo ben known—
inch as advertising larger bottles at less price, censoring
all other preparations, and even copying my advertise
ments—but I am happy to state that out of tlie many
who have resorted to hare been successful.
MY OBJECT
n this notice is to make facta known to the pnblic and
respectable dealers, believing, after so many years' ex
ertions, that the Druggists will discountenance such
proceedings, and that the reputation of my articles
may not be damaged by the use of InferioV or spurious
ones.
Knowing that many may read this article who are
nnacquuinted with me, I append a few remarks from
those of my native city, and whose names are known
in ail parte of the world ?
“Being personally acquainted with Mr. H. T. Helm
bold, it affords me- pleasure in stating I have been
most favoraldr impressed with his energy and integri
ty, and gratified at hi- aeccesa.’’

[Evening Bulletin, Philadelphia!
“ When on a visit to the city of New York a few
days since, 1 was induced to call on oar old friend and
townsman, Mr. H. T. Helmbold. Druggist, 534 Broad
way, N. Y. His Store is a Model—a perfect Gem—
the handsomest of any kind we have ever had the
pleasure of viewing, and so extensive, being 34 feet
front, five stories in height, and over 200 feet deep.—
It indeed affords ns much pleasure to know that he
has been so uiccessfnl. and it Is ample evidence of the
merits of his urticles— our whole business expe
rience we have not known of the success of any arti
cles without Merit—advertising merely bringing the
name before the people. ’’
[Boston Herald. I
“We do not like to advertise* worthless wares, or
articles calculated to deceive onr reader-; and when
we see an advertiser like Mr. Helmbold, whom we
hhve known for yearn, gradually extend his advertising
from year to year until he becomes the largest adver
tiser fit the United States, we are satisfied that the
statements in regard ta his articles must be correct.
The writer rc’nctantiy inserts the above, and wonld
not do so were lie not a stranger to many; and con
tludes by stating the names ol his articles, and the
diseases for which they have been used by many thou
sands with complete success.

Mr. Heagaa amLfiulfrage.
Mr. John H. Reagan, late Postinaster-Geti
eralof the Confederacy, while a prisoner 1;
Fort Wairen sent an address tp the peoptt
of Texas, the substance of which comes. t<
ua iu the New Orleans papers. The topii
of most Importance which he discusses ii
that of sufrage. *He says ‘ 'M
“To the conferring of the 'elective fran
chise on your former slaves,’ I anticipate' i
stubixirn and sincere opposition, based oil
the ignorance of the great ■ mfiss of them
and ou their total want ot information am
experience in matters ot legislation, atlpain
istration, and everything which pel tains U
the science of government aid upon th«
pride of race. AJid this objection may b
sustained by pointing Us the examples o
Mexico, and of the Central American ane
South American States, where, by the en|
franchisement ot the Indians and the ne;
groes, and ail olheis. without reference U
race, or mental or moral fitness for the ex
ercise of these responsible rights, they havt
been deprived of the blessings of peace, or'
der and good government, and involved'h
an almost uninterrupted series of wars anc
revolutions, often of the most crnel and bar
barous character, for more titan half a cen
tury, wiih no present prospect of an mneli
oration or improvement of their condition
But these difficulties are not insuperable
if you meet them with patience and reason
I have no doubt yon can adopt a plan whief
will fully meet the demands of justice sqc
fairness, and satisfy the Northern mind, ant
the requirements of the Government, with
out endangering good government and th<
repose of society. This can be done by : i
First, Extending the privileges and pro
lection of the laws over the negroes as they
are over the whites, and allowing them U
testify in the courts on tfie same conditions i
leaving their testimony subject to the rules
relating to its credibility, but not objecting
to its admissibility. And *n tbis you wit
conform with the wise 'current ot moderr
legislation, and the tendency of judicial de
cisions in ail enlightened countries.
And, second, By fixing an intellectual
and morar, and, if thought necessary, a pro
perty test for the admission of all- persons tc
the exercise of the elective franchise, with
out refdduce to race or color, which w.oiilc
secure’its intelligent exercise.
My own view would be :
First, That no person now entitled tc
the privilege of voting should be deprived o
it because of any new test.
Second, That to authorize the admissior
of persons hereafter to the exercise of tbt
elective franchise, they should be, first,
mates; second, 21 years ot age; third, citizens
of the United Stales'; fourth, should have re
sided in the State one year, _ and in tlte dis
trict, county, or precinct, six months nex
preceding auy election at which they pro
pose to vote ; fifth, should be able to read ii
the English language
sixth, and must have paid taxes for the 1»«
year preceding for which snch taxes weri
due and payable, subject to any disqualid-.
cation for crime, of which the person may
have been duly convicted, which may b*
prescribed by law.
The adoption ol these measures, in nddi
tion to those before mentioned, would, ii
my judgment, meet the ends of justice ans
fairness ; secure? the re-establishmeut.of Stqti
government, the admission of her Senator
and Representatives in Congress, the sus ;
pension of military rule, and the restoratiot
of civil, constitutional and local self-gov
eminent. Ami it would do more. It woulr
secure your protection against other grea
and pending evils, and is, I am persuaded
of the greatest consequence to your fntur
peace, prosperity and happiness.
First, It would remove all Just ground
of antagonism and hostility between til
white and black races. Unless this is done
endless strife and bitterness df feeling mas
characterize their relations. And all histor
and human experience teach us must soone
or later result in a war of races. \Je nov
know, 'from sad experience, what war is
between equals and enlightened people. Bu
of all wars, a social war of races is the mos
relentless and cruel. The extermination, o‘
expulsion from the country, or enslavemen
of the one or the* other, being its inevitahli
end, where they are left to themselves ; o
the loss of liberty to both races, where they
are all subject to the control of a snperio,
power, which would be our situation,
speak of course, ofthe legal rights and statu.'
of the two races. Their social relations an
matters of taste and choice, and not subject
to legislative regulation.
Second, This course would disarm an,
put an end io ( the inter-state, sectional, poli
tical agitation, on this snttject, at least, which
has been the special curse of our country so
so many years, and which was the cause o
the unnumbered woes we have recently ex
perienced and still suffer, by depriving tlx
agitators of a subject on which to keep u'(
such an agitation, and of the' means of pro
dticiqg jealousy, animosity and hatred he
tween the different parts ot the country, anc
between the different races. And this would
dp much toward the renewal of the ancient
relations of national harmony and fraternal
good-will between all parts ofthe country.
And tbis, too, is of {be greatest consequence
to our future welfare, and especially us out
people now know there is no hope of escape
from it by appealing to the principles ol
State Sovereignty and jhe right ofseces
sion.
If the State will accept this policy atODce.
it will attain the great ends heretofore men
tioned, and it wilt pave its own people from
years of pHinful strife and agitation on these
questions, which would at last, probably
after years of contention, be fonod to be the
only means ot bringing it to an end, even if
it led to nothing worse. How infinitely
better it would be for for both races, fnt
the present and the future, tor the whole
country, if you will unhesitatingly recognize
the unalterable facts as to your condition,
and the inevitable logic of events; and
hasten, as is in your power to do, the retnrt
of the blessiugs of civil government and con
stitulionalliberty ; and avoid, as itis in yout
power to do, the feaiful perils which now
lie before you. I know the painful struggle
against education, and habit and policy, anc’
tradition and prejudice, which such a courts!
will require you to encounter, and how hare
it is for human nature to overcome such dif
ficulties. But my sincere prayer is, tha
God, in his goodness and mercy, mq|
’enable you to exhibit tbis last crowniuj
evidence, in the midst of your calamities.” j
