We sincerely regret that the country is 10 be de-
nriyed of the valuable services Of this rising staies-
man and infexible patriot in the next Congress Al
though he positively declined, in formal manner Il
reeection vet such is the estimation in which he il
held by his immediate llow-citizens that many OF
the members-nearly mujorty-of the recent De-
mocratic Convention, which assembled ut Baton
Rouge for purpose of nominating his successor be-
slowed their votes upon him.
Judge Perkins lost his most tenderly endeared and
only brother in the ilfaed Arctic and but for the
obligations which he conceived himself to be under
to his constituents he would have retired us soon rs
ted Moreover his father one Of the most extensive
planters in Louisiana, now considerably upwards o'
three and ten, and having no other ch'!h ue''
catcly utmatod his wish that he should not separate
from him again for SO long a term as u session
of Congress. We trust at future day we shall nave
the pleasure of again seeing him in public llie IL

NJ the Pharisers neglected the 'wei-iter matters
of the law do these Scribcs and Pharsees hypo-
critics" Of to-day. If the wild hunt after office is
characteristic ot the age, are they themselves not
part and parcel OF the age. Ii they have disgust for
this, are they themselves innocent! Ii is indeed,
heavenly maxim which says, "know thyself and it
is, indeed, a motto of Internal regions which says,
"know nothing" Have these men gone out rs Isaac
did aeventide, TO mediate! Have they examined them
selves Do they lind themselves pure and undriled !,
Has the angel of purity said unto thcm "The Holy
Ghost shall come upon you, and the power OF the
Highest shall ovcrshadow you; therefore, also, thn
holy thing which shall be born uf you, shall bc called
the Son of Purity" When we come TO examine the
men whom they have placed forward their cand
dates, how truihfully we say that these
OF the .purer days for with what disgust do they
look upon office; it is stencil i'll their nostrs, which
they will bury in the depths of the sea- If these be
the pure men, we would asi Almighty God, in his fa-
vor To regard us nation, to revert the awful ca
amitles Uf having "purer men" among U.s. aud not
TO visit upon us the sins OF the Know Nothngs, for
are not their children, and therefore may claim,
that the "wickcdness of tho fathers should not be
visited upon us to the third fourth gcneration-
Let our teeth Ls set edge, because these ''ia
theirs have eaten sour grapes
In conclusion, ask what dependence can be
placed in these articles, when we huve their example,
showing disregard for the eth article They are
against punishment for political Dependence did
not their brethren, comprising 100 out of 296 eecto-
raj votes declare their 'pulitical independence aud
did these men, admired of the emulation of virtue,
and of the purcr Of other days act with charity!
Verify, actions speak louder than words. NJ.

At later staSe i'll the proceedings, Mr.. Chase Of
fcrcd The following resolutions:
Resolved, That the National Constitution wisely
commits the Institution OF slavery TO the control ni
the Statcs where it has existence. and we will resist
a attempts by th, people Of the. Notwithstanding
States I" Interfere win the rights guaranteed TO the
institution, also We will resist any ar,upt to usr
the powers nf the General Government to urru.tuut,
or extend the institution.
Resolved, That the taking POSSESSION Of the uoll.
the election tor the organization 0l the Territory of
knnzas by large bodies of men from Missouri for the
purpose o overawing tho hon0 fdc residents of the
Territory w;ls gross nfracti0m OF the luws and an
outrage that calls fur the scvcrcSt reprubhton Of the
American people, and we therefore most heartily en-
dorse the course pursued by the Hon. a. H. Rccder
in his patriotic efforts 10 enforce the laws, md pro-
tcct the rights of the people of Kansas from violence
and usurpntion.
a motion was made to lay these resolutions on the
tHble mud being put was agreed to:
So the resolutions were laid On the table.
Tic action ofthc Democracy in laying these rcsolu
ons on the table s in wide contrast with the endorse
ment of Governor Recfcr by the knownothing Leg
stature of Pennsylvania.
The convention declines noticing pro ron th'
temperance question.
The closing scene of the convention was as fol
lows:
Mr.. Blair--I have resolution here, Mr.. President
which should like 10 have read and considered b!
the Convention.
The Secretary read the resolution rs follows:
RrS0ircd, That in endorsing the Nebraska-k mn
sas bill, the Democracy of Pennsylvania did not com
init themselves To ncccpt the awlcss acis OF armct
and organized bands from adjoining States as III it,
lustraton Of the doctrine popular sovereignty, bu
intended only I" affirm the great principle of the
right of the actual b0Ha fr settlers oi the terrore:
to regulate their own domestic affairs in their Owl
way without Interference from any quarter
Before any action taken on the resolution, the
Convention, on motion Of Mr.. Reilly, OF Franklin
county, adjourned st~' tie.
The Convention thus refusing To endorse either
Governor Rccder himself or his theory Of the inva
sion of kansns by armed and organized bands Of law

VIRGINIA CRops.-The Norfolk Herald sny'
wheat and potatoes in that vicinity are abundan; he"
yond precedent ltapprehends damage To corn from
heavy ruins
The Shenandoah Tenth Legion has never known
the oat and corn crop promising, except IN a ie"
vicintes where they have been subjected 10 "'o IA
wages of the chinch bug and grasshopper.
In Botetourt, the Democrat says II never saw su'1
ve1ctable crops and fruits abundant. The wheat
harvest just closing, has surpassed former and'h"
corn is in fine condition.
In Frederick county tsays the Winchester NnGi'
miami the wheat crop will average five bushels t" t.,
acre In Clark county the average will not eHc"el
seven bushels. Taking the counties of the Valley OF
Virginia altogether, not more than halt crop can hH
reulized. The quality, however, is excellent.
In Augusta county tsays the Staunton |lndicat"r')
the corn and oat crops extremely promising. The
oat crop is nearly madc and the report OF 1t mighty
encouraging.
The Rockingham Register says the wheat crop is
varied in that county, the yield being much better u"
some parts than others. The oat crop will be very
large.
