PERRY, Of Smtlit Carolina, in the National Democrat ic Convention .it Charleston, S. ('. Mr. President and (ieiitlemcn of the Con- j vontion : I thank you for this opportunity, j munimyusly awarded me by the Convention, j :>f di-lini i;_r inv position in remaining here j whibt my colleagues have seen proper to with- j iJraw from the convention. Kiist, however, I !i:ivf- a word to say to the ,di?tiuyubhed ^en tleman from Illinois, Coventor Itichardson, ( who has just taken his seat. lie told vis the truth, a well-known truth, when he said that the Kansas-Nebraska bill was a compromise between the N irthern and Southern Democracy on the subject of slavery in the Territories. That compromise pv?rjv?soi1 to take tlie tioit i;1' i l.r. H V from Cmi'riws ami refer it ' > the people of {he Territories under t!ic Fedor?il Constitution. All rp\estiou>of territorial legislation ?ni tlio subject nt' slavery would go to tin' Supreme Cmirf, ami tin: decision of that tribunal was to bo final ami conclusive. This <v.is the compromise, as has boon also just stated by tlic honorable member from (Iporgia, Mr. Seward. At tin; time this compromise , w.is ma'le, the Southern nomocracy hail an | abiding conlidonce of their right to carry their slaves iiito the Territories, which were the common property of all the States, ami moreover, they had n conviction that the Supreme Courtof thi United States woultl so tlecide whenever tlie c|iiestion was properly made.? "With this conlidom'f. sod conviction on their minds, the.y vore willing to, nuJ <1 i?1 assent to, the non-interventioii of <'ongross as a compromise. 15v that compromise [ am willing to Ftand, ami I now ask the gentleman from Illinois to carry it out in good faith, by endorsing the decision of the Supreme Court, in tin: Dred Se-jltea.ee. If he and the Northern Democracy will re-aflirm the Cincinnati Platform, which embodied the principles of this compromise, ami endorse the principles enunciated in the opinion of Chief ) ustiee Taney in the Dred Scott, decision, it will he acceptable to the Sonthere Democracy generally.? The refusal of Judge Douglas to fto this, as leader of the Northern Democracy-, and his perscverainv in contending for a different, construction of the Nebraska-Kansas act and Cin.... .. . - .... ctnnatt I'latiorm, has pro J ucwl all the confusion nml discord which now unhappily divide and distract the groat Democratic party of the United Stat oh. I am not one of those who ask for Congressional interposition on the suhjcct of slavery iii tin; Territories. Tlie South has contended f<;r years past against CongressionrkJ legislation on tliis subject. They have denied the right of Congress either to prohibit, or legislate slavery into the Territories. The right to firry our properly into the common domain of t!i" I 'liiou, is a constitutional right, guarnn1 i ... 1... i I. . M 1 ? I ' I - . . . 1 Iic.i 11 in in I'y i mi: rcuerai \ onstmmon, arm which neither Congress nor tlic tciritorial ?rovernment ran deprive us of in any way whatever. Why. then, <lo Southern Democrats ask n slave code or ('ongressional interposition ? It is suicidal, and we all thought so ten years ago. Then we were appreltonsivo that Congress would, in the formation of a territorial govern.ncnt, attempt to oxclwlc slavery as they had done oil previous occasions. We felt this to he an outrage on the rights of the South. We contended that a Southern planter had the .same right to carry his property into the Territories that a .Northern manufacturer had to carry his. Whether the one consisted of slaves and the other of machinery made no ' difference. Slaves are recognized as property, not only l>y the laws rind eonstitutions of the Southern States, hntby the Federal (lormtitution itself, i.. various way* and in different sections of that just and wise system of jrov- J eminent. With great, deference to the judg- i i ~c . i a .i niuiiv una u|#ii'iuiio in ui?tiu^;iiiHiH!U oouiuuru Democrats, I think it is unwise and dnngerous , to tfo back and ask for Congressional intcrven- ! tion, which wo have been wnrring against for ! ur* inxntr vonra. and have. nnw pnt.iililiaV.rwl Kir ' compromises, platforms, tho action of Congress ami tho decision of tbo .Supreme Court. For one, T will abide by what Inis been done, and what has been agreed to be done, by the Democratic party, and I here call on my Northern j pomooratie friends to do the same. It will rout ore harmony ami pood tooling to tlic Convolition, and once inoro unite the Poniocrncy against the common toe- the Hlack Republicans?-: ml insure a triumphant victory. I'or the Northern \vi ?g of the gl*ei t Democratic party ! have 'lie hijrhcrt regard and proloUndc tl'Crpeet They hr.vc fought the luittlo!" of I li'* South and the Constitution like gilllaiit patriots, and have sactiticed thomsel-" ves ill our cause. Wo owe then a debt of gtv.titudc, and Southern honor and Southern Mifl.uua'aiiiiilv shcuM uvt hesitate to p'V it L\ v !.iii:. i.j t'.. ;;i all wo < an t??:ii>t idly wit 11 our faith ainl prineiphs. I felt deeply the noble *>lid manly appeal made to 11?o South, thi' otlior evening, 1 >v tin1 clis^t:ii?xni>l;o?l ?<ntlcnian from >! inlu sota, Mr. Samuels Tlu.ro is neither justice nor wisdom in forcing our Northern friend.- to assume a position unnecessarily, w 1?i?. 11 will cni.?li tlmm i:i their content with tin1 ithick Republicans, mid defeat our hopes 1:i<I cxiK'ct.itioiis. W ?' ought to viiVv't lioui a platform to .stand on which they I ran defend and maintain at home, when hv so doing wo sacrifice no principle. W'e have con. trued the Cincinnati I'latt'orm one way, iiud the Supreme Court of the luitod States litis established our eonstuction by one of the ablest opinions ever delivered bv tinv Court. W I... i I 1 -.1 i ... i . > 1 114. mi ll, MMIIIKI \VU DC so l;'u;igutvis OI uuardinjr against a <liH\ ivnt construction by wovils ami language, which render it odious ov unacceptable tri the North ! W'o .shall train nothing l?y il hut a IJlaek Republican victory, which may ho t!r< death knell of the Republic. After all. Mr. President, this <|uestion of hlavcvy in the Torrilories is a im>ro attraction. It elim.vto ami ?i 1 nro adapted to slavery, it will tro there, and it it is not, we cannot force it into the Territories, l/ikc water, which always seeks its level, will lo slavery where i.' is profitable. ami nowhere else. I f it is known or supposed that Territory will be a free State when admitted into the I nion, no Southern matt will carry his slaves into the Territorv to remain whilst tin* territorial government continues. If tin' si ill ami climate of a Territory arc adapted to slavery, the institution will 'jo there. and be j in it ? ? t ?<1 there, without Congressional int iv<?ntion, and in spite <?f it. Why. then, should we insist on it, at the lia/.aid of breaking; up the Democratic party '! 1 run wi ll sim' a motive on the part of disunion* ists, who indulge the delusive hop", of sepnra<inp'tlie North from the South. !>ut, in all truth and sincerity, 1 can assure such that they are under a delusion. This Cnion is too stl'onjx, treojri-ijihieallv. politically ;;nd socially, ever to he dismembered whilst the Republic continues in its present advanced state of civilization :tnd science, And 1 can, with the ia'.mMruth aiu\ sincerity, declare to my N?nj thern and SiMtiiei i liiemls, that the iustit?i tion of African slavery is ab-o 4oo rtronu: in I the Southern Stales ever to lie assailed successfully by any power on earth. I have no alarms for the safety of slavery or the I 'nion. I stand before you, .Mr. President, an old fashioned l'iii<?? hemotrai, born and bred such. and sueli I have < onlinued, consistently, witliout faltering or wavering in my faith, amidst the storms of secession and nullification whieh hnvc swept over South Carolina. ! am a Southern man in heart and feelintr, and identified with the South, my birth place, by * very ice * hat i* wvc-ircd on earth and every interest that can bind a ln'm to hi~ own native 1 soil. I love the South, and it is because 1 i love her, and would uuard her against evils which no one can foresee or foretell, that I am j a 1'nion man and a follower of Washington's fiuv'h and creed. It was as a l>e:aocrat and a j ! nion man <suei I v.aiue in/.o this ('oiivc;.lion, determined to do all that I could do, i. < pre! serve 1 lie I>einocratic party and the 1'nion of the States. I came here not to sow the seeds i of dissension iu our I'einoeratie ranks, but to do all that. I roiilil ilo < > lmriin.iiiv.. ftio | cordant materials of tlio pnrty. I cinie, in ! good faith, as a Democrat, to remain liero, I ami represent (ho Democracy of South Carolina, mid abide by the action and nomination of this Convention. In lion r I feel myself s<> bound, and if I had cnteitaiued other feelings and other views, I .should not have taken my seat in the Convenlion. I had confidence in 1 he patriotism and justice of the party to ! which I belong. If l had not l would not hav? made a common cause with them. No ! y-artv-can be kept together unless the meinberc are disposed to yield *nu)< thing. livery ' one cannot carry nut his own views; and no| tions of propriety and justice. ( The Convention which sent me hero adjourned but a few days since. lu that Conj vention resolutions similar to those of Alabaj ma were offered and voted down by an overwhelming majority. AwoUji/?)' resolution was proposed and advocated with great power I ; ability to stand by Alabama, and it too was ; j 11 i "t < > *uiru auwii oy ;i n.rge majority. I nearu no i one, in that Convention, speak of any contin! geney on which it would he proper fur the i (Smith Carolina Delegation to leave this Con! jv.'iition. 1 feel confident in pr.ying, thai I j <1<> not beKevc my colleagues contemplated such a stop when they cainc here. 1 know that such i feeling was cherished by others outside of the South Carolina Convention. It was cherished by those who sneered at our Convention and scorned to come into it.--' Somehow or other their feelings and senti| incuts have been imbibed by the most of my ' colleague^, i:nd they have gone out of this *\,ih'OiijHoii, leaving my trie: I Colonel I><>?>x?*r I ami nvy&etf the only delegates from South Carolina. ft. is true that Col. Simkins, anj other Delegate, coneura with us in remaining ' ho re, anil would act with us if ho were here, hut he has boon <?idled home l>y the sickness of his family. | In remaining hove, my friend Col. Hoozcr | and mysrdf <J?> not regard ourselves as diso, beying any mandate of those who sent us, or of compromising nny principle which wo or they have professed. When the .South Carolina Convention assembled in Columbia lust week to send Delegates here, I introduced a resolution reaffirming the Cincinnati platform with the principles enunciated in thu Drnl Scott decision, and they were adopted as the just adopted by this Convention reaffirms the Cincinnati platform, but neither affirms nor repudiates the principles of the bred Scott decision. Tt is well known that tlioso principles are maintained in the Southern construction of the Cincinnati platform. In voting for that platform, I voted for it with this well known Southern construction, sustained as it is by the Supreme Court. All the other resolutions adopted by this Convention, were voted for by South Carolina, an the record shows. Hut because a majority of this Convention would not adopt a resolution declaring that it is the duty of Congress to intervene and protcct slavery in the territories, my colleague# have withdrawn, with a portion of tho delegates from Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and | Florida. The delegates from Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri and Tcnneweo hnvc seen proper to remain in lliis Convention. Kor one, sir, I um more inclined to stand by j Virginia than by Alabama, and in doing so | I 1 think I have a wiser counsellor in daiuun aml j difficulty j ! I know full well tliat tho Congressional I district which 1 represent in this Convention will approve ami sanction the course which I have seen proper to take, ami 1 shall remain ! here ami represent that District as long as I remain in Charleston. With this ex plana tiou of n.y position, 1 gonelude by tendering my tlu'tiks to the Convention tor the opportunity oHercU tuO, e0 vtu: tconsly, hy them, of j | defining my pr sitii.n. 1'roiu tlio Southern Kntorprise.

Nearly all with whom we have conversed admit the propriety of . huil(,linjr the f?oad as tar as the State line, or to Clayton. It' this he done?-and w<? have ' every reason to believe that the next Legislature will jirant sufficient aid to accomplish this end - the people of (leogia will build the I load from that point. This route, as wc have heretofore informed our readers, will penetrate , the copper regions ?? " Tennessee, and will, as j soon as completed to Ducktown, heroine, one ' n" tin' most profitable 1'oads in the South.? Being fully one hundred miles nearer to Charleston by the l>!ue Hi dice than it is to Savannah, over the (Jeorgia roads, the immense; productions of that section will find their way ; into South Carolina. This route will also les- , sen the distance to-be traveled to reach the \\ extern States from South (Carolina, ami the i States iiiii'tli of \is by at least two hundred n:ivv. k Mould thus become at ?n<-? the groat thoronuhfiro for travel tunl line carriage ; if the mail from the Kastern and Norihova , Singes to the West.

For one thin-' is certain, the mineral i n ' | interests at Ducktown arc compelled to have i railroad facilities, or coo.-c operations. They , ! must have coal for smelt'inu-, inferior oars and ' cheap transportation of their prod;}ets to market, and the many millions of dollars vested j at Ducktown, will certainly force a railroad j to so:no point, and that too, at no distant pe- j riod.

The Cotton Crop and the Secession Movement. The break-up of the Democracy at. Charles- , ton has given but little concern to the .South 1 or to the friends of Southern intorents. Thoy regard it, on the contrary, as the best thing : that could have happened, for a compromise j from the defection of a few of the slave States i | would have left matters in as unsettled a Coil- | | dition as before. Now the issuo is set fair , ' and square beforo the couutry, and there can j j be no resuscitation of the Democratic partv j ! exccpt upon a platform guaranteeing the fp.lU | _ _? !i? c CJ_~ il if i Hiicun^ iur ouuuiurri hiiuku*h?. li incrc | ' arc any concessions to bo made at Baltimore or ? i j. t rr elsewhere, they will have to come from tlie ] N< rih. The South is strengthened in tins position j 1?V its uiiprecedcntedly flourishing condition. ; '1 licro never was a period when it was so well j able t<> stand alone. This years cotton crop j amounts in round numbers to 4,.r)00,000 bales, | of which 4/200,1100 have come to market.? This is a larger crop by 7;"i0,000 bales than was ever before pmducod in a single year. In money value the \icld represents about ?2oU,0l!0,0U0, mid i;s tlic oOitv crops have turned j out propoitiuur.tcly abundant, the .South lias J more rerson tlunj ever to feci contented and J satisfied with its condition. Whilst the W est is still suttoriny; from the depression caused l?y the panic of ISiiT, the South has all the time paid its why. and now the superabundance til its crops renders it more than ever prosperous and rich. With its immense yield of raw , produce, its young but promising mnnufact tiros, and its enormous commiiud of capital, it can easily become independent of the North if it chooses to give "renter development to its industrial resources and foreign trade. The Southern dele-rations, therefore, in their action at Charleston, had no misgivings to perplex them as to the results of tliecour.se which they felt it necessary to take. They had but one link in bind them to the North, anil that was equality of rijrhts hiui protection. T11is denied tliom, they found thcmsi Ives without n motive fur the connection. Thoy I argued that n partnership, in which nil tho j cap'tal was furnished on one side, and nil the arroirauce and dictation on (lie other, was not worth continuing, and they therefore felt justilied in takiry; steps to put a term to such an unfair and unci|tial condition of things. Tho .soutider elements of the Democracy will hack ' them up in this course ns the only one calculated t?i restore union and discipline to its orj;:ini;:atinii. That tho South do not intend to recede from it is plain, front its fixing a date forth*' meeting of its delegates at llichmnmi a week prior to that of the Democratic t'ini- j ventiou at Mahimore.

Views from Bible Lands. Thyariri. a city on tho northern border j of the province of liydia, is situated on mi extensive plain, eighteen miles in breadth, near tho head waters of the northern branch of the river I form us; into which Hows the river Hermits; into which flows the brook i'aetolus, once famed in classic story for its poldcn sands. Thvatira is between fifty and sixty miles north-oast from Smyrna, forty or fifty south-oa.-# from I'orjjamos, and a bruit twenty S'-ven lVont Sardis. It is an ancient, oily, formerly known by the names of Pelu pia Mini KuliipjfM. lit is said by Strsibo to iiavo Ixvn a .Macedonian colony. The Komnii road from Pertianios to Sardis passed through it. Jn the <lays of heathenism, it was devoted, lilce Kphesus, to the worship ol* the goddess Diana. Thyntira vas celebrated for the sic ill of the inhabitant# in dyeing clotii ; and it even now retains, in some <{o?re \ its reputation for the manufacture of tlu* arlicle.

At a distance it appears in lofty eyp;es>' ncd poplars, from aiiiOtis: which an: seen rising 4bo dome and min:tr<^^ of niosipies and dwelling-houses. There are afxmt two thousand houses besides funall huts. Of the Iimuscx, about three hundred are inhabited by (Jrci'ks, ahout thirty by Anicrieaus, ami the rest by Turks, fo that the proportion of professing Christians is very small. An amphitheatre of hill rises at a distance, of ;j few miles from the town, from which How abundant fleams of water, rendering the plain fertile. Vegetation is luxuriant.?

Wo commcnd the subjoined judicious remarks, from the London Quarterly lteview, to the discriminating attention and regard as well of parents ns of touchers. They contain ail important priuciplo in reference to the education of the. young, and one which cannot he njo carefully heeded : " It is the viec of age to substitute learning for wisdom?to educate tlm head and forget tliat tlioro is a more important education necessary for the heart. The reason is cultivated at an age when nature does not furnish the element necessary to a succossful cultivation of if; and flic child is solicited to reflect when ho is only capable of sensation and emotion. In infancy, the attention and mcmorv arc onlv excited strongly by tilings which impress the sense* and move the. heart, and the father shall instill more solid and available instruction in an hour spent in the fiolds, where wisdom and goodness are exemplified, seen and felt, than 111 u month spent in study, where they are expounded in stereotype aphorisms. " No physician doubts that precocious children, in fifty cases for pne, nre much worse for the discipline they have undergone. The mind seems to havo been strained and the foundations for insanity arc laid.

It is from thissourc" that the mass of meii are hereafter to dr.w their sum of happiness or misery; the nctinns of the immense majority are under all circuir.Ftances, determined much more by feeling than by reflection ; in truth, life presents an infinity of occasions where it is essential to haj j)iiuujs that we should feel rightly.; very few whore it is all necessary that we should think profoundly.

Pure air and free exercise .".re indispensable, and wherever cither of these are withheld, the con sort nonces will be certain to extend themselves over the whole fnUuv life. The seeds of protracted and hopeless sufferings have in innumerable instances been sown into the constitution of the child simply through ignorance of this jjreat fundamental physical law, and the time has come when the united voices of these innocent victims shall ascend, tninipettoiifined, to the ears of every parent ami every teacher in the land: '(Jive us free air and wholesome exercises ; leave to developo our expanding energies in accordance with the laws of our beinir, and full scope for the elastic and bouiuliii" impulses of our you re* l.loilll * " u f wish I iiai> (' aim rai,.*'?This was the oxclamsiti*?ii fit m stout, hearty but lazy young j man, the other day.
