The Bret of the l Perry IWmily in thin country emigrated to Masaaohnitetta from Devonshire, England, abont the middle of the MvontsMith eentn. T7Matthow C. Perry entered the United States navy as a midshipman cm the 10th of January, 1800, wl?eu lie immediately joined the schooner Revenge, from which he was soon after transferred to the frigate President. In November, 1813, he was ordered to the frigate United States, and in April. 1814. was sent baek to the President. Toward the end of 1814, he was ordered to the brig Chippewa, from which vessel ho was transferred to the Navy Yard at Brooklyn, with the rank of lieulennnt. He thus learned the duties of his profession amid the stirring events of the v/ar of 1812 with Gceat Britain, when overy officer of our little navy was more or less in active service. In August, 1819, he was ordered to the ship Cyane, which was sent to the coast of Africa, to aid the efforts of the Colonization Society in its attempt to found a settlement of free Blacks upon the island of Sherbro, near 8ierra Leone. Tho mortality at Sherbro was so great that it became evident no colony could be planted there, nnd Lieut. Perry selected Mcsurado Capo as a more suitable locality for a town. lie therefore fixed the locality of the first settlement of Liberia. In May, 1812, Lieut. Perry was put in command of the schooner Shark, in which i vaacnl Iia t vvinn \ flirt nnliinu of \fajnia i do. In the same vessel lie also cruised the | waters of the West Indies, nnd captured i several piiates. ? On his return, he was again attached to I the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where he remain ed until 1824, when he was ordered to the I North Carolina, of 00 guns, under command < of Commodore John ltogers. In this ship < he served as first lieutenant and captain of l the fleet during her whole cruise. lie was i then promoted to the rank of commander. | and took charge of the recruiting sorvice at 1 Boston, in which employment he continued until 1830, when ho louk command of the corvette Concord, in which he conveyed John Randolph as United States Minister to St. Petersburg, and afterward cruised three years in the Mediterranean. When home again, he was once more actively employed at the Brooklyn Navy Yard 1 as superintendent of a school of gnn practice, and in the organization of a steam naval I service. I lie was, at this time, promoted to the rank of captain, and was offered the com mand of the exploring expedition afterwards given to Commodore Wilkes, but, for va < rious reasons, declined it. In 1838, Cm pi. 1 Perrv was sent to Europe to visit the doc k 1 yards and light houses, nnd collect, from per 1 buiihi insptrcuon, such mris as inigli;, l)c u>?? 1 fill in improving those departments of the 1 United States service. Early in 1839, he ' submitted his report to the Government, and 1 resumed his duties as superintendent of gun practice, and in pfepming pans for the con ' struction and equipment of the Missouri and ' the Mississippi, the Gist two ocean steamers * in our nsuy. < Whilo tints employed, he was appointed ' to the chief command of tho Brooklyn Na vy Yard, in which position lie remained two < years, when, at his own request, he was ap 1 pointed to the command of the African ' squadron, sent out under the provisions of 1 the Ashburton Treaty. lie succeeded so ' well in carrying out the provisions of the treaty that he received the commendation of 1 both the British and American Governments. 1 In 1848, he sailed as second in command to Commodore Conner, to the Gulf of Mexico, and on the retirement of that officer in j March, assumed the chief command in lime , to direct the naval bombardment of Vera J Cruz. Commodore Perry's " able co-opera- tiots" in the siege of Vera Cruz was coidi > ally acknowledged by Geu. Scott in his of- i ficial despatches. But the most distinguished service, in JT* i long career, was the expedition to Japan, | which sailed from the United Slates on the j 24th of November, 1852. and ij) command | of which Commodore Perry negotiated the ( treaty with Japan, signed on the last day of t March, 1854.

The ruest Democrats of the North hesitated to tocept the issue, and for a time it was doubt id whether the Administration would nol t>e deserted by the entire party in the North At last the painful suspense was determined in favor of the President's policy, by a reluctant declaration of support from the leaden and organs of the Northern Democracy.? Still the hullr t\( ihn party held aloof, and the Administration did not yetdaro to claim the verdict of poptdar opinion. Tn the South, too, there was division among the Democracy. Here and there an indt wiii. ..I.w.L. .i.?? luwm ??mi uiviv I'iuvr man uiaviviiMii, tcu lured to pronounce against the Administra tiou on the policy of admitting Kansas un tier the Lecoinpton Constitution. A stil larger number offered the President tlx damaging support of equivocal apologies, in stead ot the earnest applause of a willing spirit and an npproving judgment. Bn the S'.ate Rights party embraced the Presi dent's policy with the alacrity of eager ad miration, and avowed a purpose to sustaii the Administration against any and all ad versaries. They were a feeble minority, bu they stood upon principle and fought for lh< interests of the country. For more than month the struggle has been progressini with various vicissitudes of fortune, althougl the general aspect of affairs was discouraging to (he hopes of the Administration. At last the contest draws to a close nix we aie authorized to clniin the victory. In the South, the voice of individual recu snancy is slitied by the clamor of a pnpula demand for the immediate admission of Kan sos. In the North, a re action of public sent! tnent has brought the Democratic party t< the support of the Administration. The in dicntions of this wholesome change are visi blc in every manifestation of popular feeling Tiro demonstrations in New York and tlx resolutions of the Pennsylvania Democracy soal the verdict in favor of the President'.policy. After nuch an authoritative expression of popular opinion, we may predict n :ertain and speedy tiiumph for the Administration. But to whom shall we award the credit ol he victory I Undeniably, the applause is luo to that incorruptible and invin iple party which has so often rescued .lie Democratic faith from perversion and ihe Democratic cause from defeat?to the party which, yielding to no temptation and despairing under no adversity, is destined in the future to repeat the glotiuus exploits that have signalized its history in the past?undeniably, tho applause is due to the Slaw Rights party of the South.
