" ''? btt froa Hob. B. Firry ?rmtfklin Oailiard, JStg. Mr Dsar Sir?1a jtoat editorial, |A% jo? bt? eotfM; Mated mj TW Cmriaaati Resolutions and the Dred Soott decision ate my platform. This vw the platform of the Columbia Convention. Pfa instruction* were given the Deflates to Charleston, to withdraw from the Convention if this platform was not adopted. 1 <5? ?a iu'ul, with ths ten" ! *?per then prevailing in the Columbia v Convention, any such instructions won Id have found favor had they been offered. Mr. Powell's resolutions, which were pretty much the Alabama Platform, received scarcely any support in the Columbia Convention. The resolution* of O'Connor, to eooperate with Alabama, was voted down, by an overwhelming mniAVllw It aaaa wall ?a ?t - - m% who n?u tnung ni mm time, that the Alabama Delegation was instructed to go out of the Charleston Convention, unless the protection of slavery in the Territories was gunran teed by the Democratic Platform. The Charleston Convention re-affirmed the Cincinnati Platform, but neither endorsed nor repudiated the principles enunciated in the Dred Scott decision. Nothing was said on that subject?leaving the South to construe that platform as they had done, sustained, as they were, by the able and learned opinion of the Supreme Court. In this course there was no repudiation or compromise of any principle contained in the resolutions of the Columbia Convention, although there was no direct acknowledgment of the correctness of their construction of the Cincinnati Platform. . We W/>rn nnf ocl-rwl f/? "i?-A ? ? * ? * "v.v mv? t?pn?,u iv up vur wneiruc* lion of tlie Democratic creed, and llial construction had become the supreme law of the land, guaranteeing to us the right to carry our slaves into any of the Territories of the United States, in spite of Territorial legislation or acts of Congress prohibiting the same. Under these circumstances, 1 did not feel myself bound by any principle or policy tp go out of the Charleston Convention, aud break up the Democratic party, on the success of which depend the hope and salvation of the country. I deeply regretted the withdrawal of my colleagues and portions of the delegates of the Southern States. In this movement, I could see nothing but division and distraction to the South. Instead ' of a united South, wo now have three parties organizing in every Southern State, hostile to each other by party ] excitement. First, the old Whig party, i calling themselves ? the National Union e party "?secondly, the seceding Demo- a cracy, calling themselves " the Constitu- c tional Democracy "?thirdly, u the < Southern National Democracy." My impression is that these parties will be found equal in strength and numbers in the Sooth. In the ensuing Presidential ' election, some Southern States will be 1 carried by one, and souio by each of c the other parlies. Wo shall be found * fighting and destroying each other, in* i stead of presenting a united South in 1 battle array against the common enemy, t In breaking up the Democratic party, < we have seclioimiizeu both wings. The I Northern Democrats will fail an easy prey to the Diack Kepublicans, and we shall become tbe victims of our own party divisions. They who look to a ' dissolution of the Union will Gwl their 1 last hope swallowed up in party and fuctious ex Element. In the seceding States, delegates will ' be sent to Baltimore favorable to Judge Douglas. Already movements have been made for that purpose in (j corgi a, * Alabama ami Ixxiisiuna. Thev will be I followed by similar movements in Tex- I as, Florida, Mississippi* and Arkansas. < They may give him the two-thirds ma- a jority. Had the seceding delegates re- t mnined in the Charleston Convention, < it was reduced to a certainty that Judge t Douglas could not receive the nomination. In all probability, lluntcr would t have been the nominee of that Conven- . tion. If not, Breckinridge, Lane, Gii- , tlirie, Dickinson, Orr or Davis might ' liave been. What, then, has the South t gained ? The recognition of no principle, except by a divided South. Before this, some principle was recognized by a united Democratic South. Now, a large portion of the Southern Demoera- ^ cy nie in danger of repudiating this piir.ciple, and going over to Judge e Douglas. Call you this a gain ? The Richmond Convention will be a [ mischievous abortion. Virginia, North < Carolina, Maryland, Kentucky and Ten- < nessee w ill not go into it at all. The < other Southern States will go into it j divided, as I have already shown, nnd i powerless, except South Carolina. It is , not likely that any Northern State will 1 be represented in the Richmond Convention at all, and certainly not by any representation likely to control the electoral vote of such Slate. , Now, my dear sir, a word as to what , I meant by the " outside pressure " in Charleston. It is known to the whole country that almost every night during the Charleston Convention, there were * meetings of the Southern delegates, 4 public speeches at the hotels, inflammatory speeches in caucusses, and a great 1 deal of out-door oonsnltation and ar- | rangements as to wiiat was 10 ue <Jone in certain emergencies. H is well known, too, that there was a large crowd of visitors in Chai lesion, Southern gentlemen who were much excited and ac, * live ?u talking over the events of the Contention- The newspapers of the cv tv were not Pdent in iegatd to these -si?? I w\ llto ''(lllftriAB /\f flio Pah. mailer*. j, ? - ? vt ulion, mcinl'CT* who to do their duty conscieftliouii'r on toe floor, were lii*>ed e\ery time they ;s>*e to address the Convention or vote in it. This was altogether j ictty strong outside p,f*suro, producing a pretty strong excite-1 inent. \V? all know how ooatagious political excitement* are. It is hard to resist such ? contagion, and the boldest and most conscientious fall victims t*it, before they are worn of its influe co, und (H?inctiui?s they never are con-' fci' us of It, ' -dtf ijf-' i IBS I'd* not think I an midair *n In anyi?g that some of the seeding delegates, in several of the delegations, wore op poeed, *t first, to withdrawing from the Convention. Thej thought it bettor, however, to go oot with the other*. Sly tronk was packed up to return home, when aorae of the seceding delertcn came to roe and requested that would stay, in order to try and prevail on Mr. Yancey, who had been an old friend and law student of mine, not to withdraw from the Convention. ! knew he wee bound to go out of the Convention, and nothing 1 could say or do would influence him. llad the Ala bum ft delegation remained in the Con vention, rrmny others might have remained with them. 1 have done. 1 know that nothing I can say wifl have any influence on public opinion in South Carolina. Still, I desire to place myself properly before the State. The time may come when my creed and opinions will be found to savor more of truth and wisdom than they are now supposed to do. I am, with great respect and esteem, yours truly, Ac., It. F. PERRY. Greenville, S. May 15, I860. j)t foutjjern enterprise. WILLIAM i>. JPKICET EDITOR. Our Motto?" Equal Rights to A11." GKKENVIIXB, aTd ~ Thursday Morning, May 24, 1860. An Error. In noticing last week the serenade to Col. Patrick, of California, we stated that lie was among those who seceded from the Convention. We have been informed that tiiis was s mistake. He did not secede, but fully endorsed the platform of the majority of the Committee in the Convention. Hail.* I There was a fall of linil in the vicinity of J "'ork Shoals and Fairview, in this District, ast week, that did some damage to the corn, plitting It up considerably. There was also i lieavv wind accompanying it, which blew t town fences in some localities. No other ? lumage done, that we hftTe heard of. j The Corn, Cotton and Wheat Crops. We were much pleased, recently, in paea * ng through a portion of the lower part of ' he District, to see UiAt the corn and cotton rope were so promising. Cotton is small, >ut there is a good stand, and that which ' ire saw looked well, aa also did the corn. * liYheat promises not more thau half a crop.

Mr. Editor?When the affairs of the government, in times like the present, are taken hold of with such avidity by Young America, it becomes the duty of those more experienced to interpose, and warn these ' fast young men that neither their chivalry ' or their patriotism will answer for the present state of things?that their wisdom is ' not calculated for either the Cabinet or the Fieid, aud in the event of revolution, their vaunted seal, when brought up to the soent of gun powder, would vanish into thin air.

With this faith, and this hope, un- ^ less the sine of our nation shall have incurred tho displeasure of the Lord of Hosts, we shall be safely brought through all our dangers and difficulties. The Judge of all the earth will do right, and unless the rulers of our Government look to this holy and divine source, in,timea of trouble and die- ] traction, for direction, and protection also, we have no other assurance of deliverance; and without this influence resting upon the human mind, in the great concerns of human affairs, we cannot expect either safety or pertnanenoe in human institutions. If the Federal Constitution is adequate to every emergency that may arise in the progress of the Government, wAen faithfully administered, then our system has fulfilled 1 the purposes of its creation; snd if the Fed- > eral Constitution can be violated with im- * punity, and the will of the majority can trample upon the rights of a minority in * the Government, then our system is a failure, and we, as a nation, arc thrown upon our primitive rights and original condition, and must seek out a new basis upon such , principles ss such an exigenoy may beat seem to demand.
