PQUrkOAL,
SPEECH OF MAJ. B F. 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 .

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

Our people, are. bej;inninji to see the importance
of this route. 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

groat thoronuhfiro for travel tunl line carriage ;
if the mail from the Kastern and Norihova ,
Singes to the West. These advantages are ,
I imt to (<e overlooked or disregarded, and we !
do not believe that the Legislature will longer ,
I refuse, to aid the building of an enterprise
| which must prove of incalculable benefit and
, importance to us ami the country at largo.

j compelled to t ike the I'.llijay Jload rather than
none. 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. There is one other road that comes in j
: ;"? a share of attention by the Hucktown c ip- j
italif ts?f moan tho North Carolina Central.
| Von arc a ware tliat that road is boin^ cxtrn- 1
tK il rapidly westward, ami all the west portion ,
of tho OIJ North Stato demands its extension j
to their wo;.tern limits, which brings them |
j within a few miles (say froL't two to .six) of" J
j Huoktown. A corps of engineers arc now j
1 engaged on a critical survey of tho content- j
! plated extension westward, authorized by ,
their last Legislature, and find the route on- I
tiroly favorable.
1 am not suiiioicntly posted as to distances '
j on tho S'orth Carolina extension, to make a ,
I comparison botwoon that road and the Jilue !
l I'id^o. |?ut it docs t-oom to me, that it is j
i vastly to tho intorcst of South Carolina, to j
push forward her western extension in ad- j
vancc of all these roads. That Duck town will ,
force her way to Cleveland, certain, by State
aid or her own exertions?together with eiti- !
1 /.ens on the line?or with tho North Carolina
I extension, 1 have not,a doubt. In that event
I South Carolina extending to Clayton, will J
l?avo a gap of less* titan seventy miles between 1
j Ducktnwn and Clayton lo ho filled to form!
' one of tic "Ciitest thoroughfares in the South- j
I ern States ; a road that would pay from the
I start, no time being required to concentrate

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

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

Thyatira is now cal'ecl by the Turks Akllissar,
or the " White Cftstlo." At a distance
it appears in lofty eyp;es>' ncd poplars,
from aiiiOtis: which an: seen rising 4bo

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

to which city they send large (quantities of
wool ami scarlet cloth.
There are few ruins to ho. scon in Thyatira,
fewer than in most of the other churches.
Dr. Smith observed sotuo ruined pillar.*,

church.
lie was told, however, by the. Turks, that
there wore great buildings of stone under

been tho foundations of the groat building*
of the ancient city.
There are two professedly Christian churches
in the. town?one (1 rook and the other
Armenian ; hut they are described as in a
miserable state.
Education of Children.
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. When the
studies for maturer years are stuffed into the
child's, head, people do not reflect on the an.1

tljc formation of principles ruthcr than towlmt
is usually toimcil knowledge. Nature herself
points out i?uelt a course; for the emotions arc'
then the liveliest, and mo&t easily moulded,
being as yet unalloyed by passion. 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.
" I p to the seventh y >ar of life, very groat
changes are going on in the structure of the
brain, and demand, therefore, the Utmost attention
not to interrupt theiu by improper or
over excitement. Jlist that decreeof exercise
should be *iivt n to the brain as i:j ncccssnry to
its health, and (he he;-t is oral instruction, exemplified
by objects which strike the so uses.
" It is perhaps unnecessary to add that at
this period of life, special attention should bo
jiiven, both by parents and teachers, to the
physical development of the child. 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

Last winter, as almost every one will rcmember,
a strong revival ,?pread over the
land, when many hardened sinners were
i hopefully converted. In the interior of New

[ professed to have found grace, but being
I considerable of a politician, and withal a can!
didatc lor a nomination for. office, he coinj
nicneed taking a sly " nip"?sly at first, but
j the thing begun to show itself in good time.
The church was seandalizod. Ouo day the
most prominent deacon caught him standing
in his office door, in a very ' balmy"
I condition. The deacon went at him roU'*hsllOfl,
