their allegiance to the Union. That from
having beon the most rebellious State in

loyal of the Southern States That she
would return) her Constitution and aboi

polttiaal power ot me upper aud lower
country, giving the auction of Governor
to the people, and also the electiou of

On leaving the President, he requested
me to oaii and see ivir- beward, Secretary
ot State, and give hint the same informa

of South Carolina. This I did ,u compa

Wo found Mr. beward ksud and oordial,

gave him with regard to the politics of

I read your speech attentively this morn

which you make it, I think it a very good
one When I was Governor of New York,
said Mr Seward, I used to make speeches
which were severely oritioised iu Charles

nave the people of Charleston to do with
my speech made iu New Y ork 7 i did
not speak ta them, but to the people of
New York And I suppose, Mr Perry,
you intended your speech far South Caro

'The Attorney General expresses a wish
that, while reforming our constitution, we
should give the els on mi of Governor to
the people, and investing him with the
power ot appointing all State and dis
(riot officers, with the advloe and consent
of ihe Senate I toid him my theory had
always been to give ail the important

of Congress and members of the Legisla

tend to corrupt and demoralize them.

Acoordiug to the Mobile Adverliser,
nine hundred negroes held a meeting last
Sunday evening, in the direction of Dug
liver. Alter long talk and csfefui delib
eration, this meeting resolved, by a vote
if sevait hundred voices to two hundred,
that mey had made a practical trial fur
three months of the freedom which the
war had bequeathed to them —that its
realities were far from being So ffattenug
os their imagination had painted it —that
they had discovered that the prejudices
ci -..a u no i.icaus confined to the
people ot the Soutl) ; t.ut, uuiu. v ,.„. r:
that it was stronger and more matked
egsiust them in the strangers from the
North than in the home people of the
South, among whom they had been rear
ed ; that negroes, no more than white
men, could live without work, or he com
sortable without homes; that their Norht
era deliverers from bandage had not,
as they had expected and been been
taught to expel,i, undertaken to provide
for their nappy existence in their new
state of freedom; and that their old mas
lere h»d ceased to take auy interest iu
them or have a cars for them; and final
ly, that their “ last ot*te was worse than
their ” and it was rtisir deliberate
conclusion that their t-tue happiness and
wtii-btiag required them to return to ths
homos which They had abandoned in a
niomciit ui .XoHitneut, and go to work
