the E'tors of the Courier:
-Gentlemen-It seems that-some, per
,sons are determined to misrepresent and
- ervert the proceedidgs 'of the Bluftou
dinnerto Mr. RUKTT.
In your paper of yesterday, you say
that you have "got written 'information
that (among other things, which you men
tion) the" Hon.' W.. F..CoL.cobK got up
the whole afair-did t all, Sic." Now
gentlemen.. as I am not at all trouble with
a prurient desirefar'oewspa per notoriety,
I should not, under other circumrsances,
condescend to notice the weak inventions
.of those "Chroniclers of snal! Beer."
But as its evident that there is a design
-to get up the impression that Mr. CAL
-HoUN and other distinguished gentleman
-of otir -iiate,' were assailed and denounced
at the Bluffton dinner, I am not so sofi as
to cllow this game to played of army ex
%pecse.
It is manifest, from the connection in
which'ny-name is used, that it was in
'tended to convey the insinnation that I
.am responsible for all the "sayings and
doings" on the occasion referred to which
the imag-ination of these- informers have
conjured up to sustain the issue they are
seeking to make. I must protest,' how
ever, against being rnade the. subject of
any such "poetic license."
Let a few i7ords put to rest these tri
flings with truth.
I reside 25 miles from Blufton, and at
-tedded the-diuter as an "invited guest."
I arrived in the. morning, heard Mr.
RaETT's addrest, dined, and returned
-horne the evening of the same day.
In reply to a.sentiment which had refe
rence to myself, I made a few remarks.
advocating decidedly, and without any
reservation, the call of a State Conven
Ain for the purpose of redeeming the
-solemn pledge of the State, and resibtiu,
in any way the'c6naventioni might deter
mine best, tha.'pynm which for 20 years
we had been tabLhito believe, and did be.
lieve, was unconstitutional and oppres
*sive. In the course of my remarks I al
luded. to Mr. CALHOUs-spoke of hitn as
a "great and goo I man"-(a title I would
mot apply to any other statesman in our
country)-expressed the opinion that his
difference from. us should he a subject
.more of "sorrow than of anger"-and
-concluded by saying. that I believed the
-State ifunited. waq equal to the contest
-and it Was my hope that she woul I he
united, and he found moving on in the
path she had already pointed out for her
self,. even althougb "Achilles kept his
lent."
This, gentlemen, is "the head and front
-of my ofending-it bath this extent-no
more." Let those who are disposed to do
zo, make the most of it.
You Way judge from this sample wh;.t
is the staple of your correspondent's yarn.
Asfar as l am concerne$1 I pronounce
the statement, and all its inuendoes desti
aute of the least foundation and as s-her a
'fabrication as ever was atteirpiedfor any
yu-pose.
To difer, gentlemen, with Mr. CAL.
Bown is one thing, , to denounce him is
another and a very impertant thing. The
first is the previlege of the humble st citi
.zen and with the humblest I claim to e.rer
-cise it. The latter is what I net-r will do
ustil .1 have1frgotten the Ieiois of my
-youth, and have ceased to venerate all
that is enabling in virtue, exalted in intel
dect, or unaspected in patriotism. -
In -conclusiou permit me to say that the
;citizens.of.Bluffion are a high minded, in
telli'gent and hospitahle peop'le, fully ca pa.
ble of managing all their A-affairs," wh'eth
:er private or :polit-ical, without any for
.eign' aid.
The entertsijament they gave was their
own voluntary tribune of respect to their
zealous and faitfl. Represent alive-gi
yen wvith hospitality,.partaken of with
stemperance, and rememubered with pleas
me eby all-anrd by mione more than by.

democrats, who were-awaiting their arri
val. A Commit tee from the Ygung Men's
Democratic Association was also. in-attend
ance, and by their- Chairman, the delega
tion were received, and welcomed in the
name of the Democracy of Charleston
generally, and particularly by the Young
Men's Democratie Association, whose
guests while in Charleston. The Georgia
Delegation, and Dr. McWhorter, the
Chairman of the Richmond delegates,
replied to the Chairman of the Committee
of the Association in a brief but elouuent
address. A procession was then formed,
and with -heating drums and banners
flying." the Georgia Delegation were es
corted to the Charleston Hotel. Among
the Banners w*e were peculiarly struck
with this new hanner of the Young Men's
Democratic Association, first used on this
auspicuous occasion ; the design is chaste
and beautiful. and the execution unsur
passed. On arriving at the Hotel, three
enthusiastic cheers were given for Georgia
which were responded to by the like num
ber - from the Georgia Delegates for our
own Calhoun.
The guests were then abandoned to their.
entertainers of the Yonng Men's Demo
cratic Association who conducted them to
the dinuer table, and after a sumptuous
repast, served up in the best style of Nick.
erson, many toasts conplimentary ofour
sister State were drunk and responded to
by others ir' compliment of our own State.
The entire Georgia Delegation in the
evening attended a joit meeting of the
Democratic party and the Young Men's
Democratic Association.
We had heard that our old friend Dr.
Arnold of Abbeville. was a candidate for
the Senate from tha! District, and alaho'
for some years past he has acted with the.
whiiga, that he had now declared himself
opposed to the whig candidate for the.Pre
sidency, and to the leading meaqures of
the party. We are happy to have the in
telligence coafirtned, by the following ar
tele from the last Abbeville Banner-Pen
dielon Messenger.
. '-On Monday last, Dr. A. B. Arnold
having been called on for his views upon
the questions of the day, delivered a short
address to about two hundred persons,
who had assembled in the Court House.
He ex pressed himself opposed to Mr. Clay,
because he had disregarded the Compro
inise -ct and avowed himself in favor of
the tariffof'42. and opposed to the annex
ation of Texas It was his opinion that it
was indispensably necessury for us to pos
sess Texas to throw off our redundaut ne
gro population, that unless we had such
outlet, in less than half a century they
would overrun us. -He was opposed to
the present Tariff, and thoughtit night be
reduced peaceably. if the States would
unite and present it to Congress, doinand
ing it as a matter of right. He was op
posed to the distribution of the proceeds of
the sales ofrthe publie lands, and internal
itmprovements, hecause their elfect was to
raise, the Tariff-in a word wo ieay vent
ture to claim the Doctor as a Democrat."
Withdrawal of Mr. Tyler.--At the
very moment that our paper was going to
press, we received the Mladisonian con
taining the address of the President to his
friends throughout the Union. He takes
a rapid and graphic sketch of party rela
tions, both before and since his elevation
to the Presidency. He deals a dignified
.but powerful blow, at ahe- Federal Whigs,
and triumphantly vindicates himself from
their false clamor. He looks ro thteefforts
of the Detnocratic party, to vindicate the
priniples5 to which he adheres with uwa
v'ering faith.
"This is a mnost important step in otur
political affairs. Antd, since the President
has. with the consent of his friends. secen
fit to take it, we hail it witht unaffeeled
pleasure. As we have said before, we
throw open to Mr. Tyler and his friends,
the doors of thes party temple, as wide as
the whole Untion. We are ready atnd
willing to go forth to battle with them,
against the common enemy ; being well
assured. thtat' thecir valor and their zeal will
tell well upon thte ranks of the foe. Mar.
Tyler will scarcely find the "retirement"
to which he alludes. His native atnd be.
loved Virginia, may still have fresh honors
in reserve for him.

sketch, than by calling attention to the able
