A verse description celebrates the Independent Farmer as nature’s nobleman. It likens him to spring driving in, with blossoms, honeysuckle, and birds around his cottage. The farmer toils from dawn, his family sheltered, while angels circle his home and faith sustains him through seasons.
Ex Governor Perry argues that adopting military bill provisions and granting Black suffrage would destroy white political power, confiscate lands, and plunge the state into civil strife. He urges voters to reject a constitutional convention, resist enfranchising Black voters, and uphold state sovereignty under military rule. He praises Union opponents and warns of a violent future if the state yields.
A Columbia Phonix opinion piece argues against Gov. Perry and for immediate compliance with Congress reconstruction laws. It rebuts Perry’s letter, cites voices like Throckmorton and Campbell, and urges unity under military-ruled terms to avoid further ruin for South Carolina’s farms and citizens.
