vot THE ADVERTI5EU . es|i. Rditors:--A-is,.ustl on the firs bf May, 1t'e young ladies of oar village. I :would wish to believe, had a pleasant little arty, and- passed a few hourstogether, in a most charming and. agreable.manner. The day was fair, and the sun was frig,ht, and beauty was brighter still; and every thing but one conspired to make their ceebration entertaining and amusing }n the highest degree. I assure you Messrs. Editors, that that one thing wanting, was not the light hearts and buoyant spirits of s'weet sixteen-it was not the grace and loveliness. of youthful, innocence--it was not tbe overflowing.soul. and the desire to dispense the blessings of peace and happi ness. and joyous mirth to all around ; but it was,,the presence of some delightful yung fellows, some gallant young me', to have called into exercise, and to have been the happy recipients of those grateful charms, which otherwise, would have been lavished on the cold and "idle wind that regards them not." A girl without a bov, a woman without a man. is like the tender flower of May, deprived of the ge. Dial influence of the sun-its beautiful tints lie concealed in the bud, and its per fume and its fragrance wastes away and dies without tasting the lovely breath of Spring. I could not have conceived of, a May party without boys-and I think such an invention is truly refined. and worthy dft he 'age. There is something about it rather prudish. I am afraid there are some an cient maidens in our quiet little village; and if there are, as much as I love gallant ry. I warn them in time, to beware. - I'Twere better they had never been born, than to incur 'lie vengeance of my wvaked wrath." I heard some time nno, of a queer sort of a convention of some of the softer sex in our town, and I feared then, that we were on the eve of a revolution we now realize the fact. I will say one more word, by way of admonition. If I have the least intimation agtin o1 the or ganization of an old maids society in the broad limits of this village, I will take a torch in' one hand & a trumpet in the other, and I will explore every street. and latie, and alley within this incorporation, and I will call forth every thing in the shape of a bachelor, and I will form one of the coinpletest old bachelor's cluns. or anti alt-maid's socie tis ever read of in history. " A word to the wise is suflicient." But I will conclude thia short descrip tion,by observing.that the Queen of May, was regularly crowned. and looked as sweeens the blosso-ns that adorned her diadem. Her ministers too, were decked out in hanidsgme colors, ttnd resembled the most perfect little angels. The usual cete monies were performed with grace and dignity. and the little girls dispersed with sad little hearts. Touca ME NOT. FOR- TitE ADVERTISER. Messrs. Editors: I see; with more-than ordimary plea s-ore, that some of the citizens of our State re arealtingg .-aaeble effort by their ex ample finduce Sasuh Catultinians to em bar k .. ob*Aetriali . tho. b osiness.if stanufactDrug. I see also, that several enanufacttring companies, with contsider able capital,. have recently been started into eisitente in the neighboring State of Georgia. . It is the opinion of but toe, many of our public men, that it is contrary to the trite policy of atiy portioh of the South. to ea courage its pedple, either in establishing man tnfac toiies aniongst them, or in invest jug thieir capital itn atny etetrprise4 of that character. Finin sotme tittatcoutntable prejudi~ed 8 frii reasins a i tiale to opr~ehend'. it is -contendedO~ that the real lbtei'est of this sectiont of thte counryv lies sole1y in tte promuotioni of Agrtculture, and in dire~cting all the enterg~ies of all clatsses of the~ .&6mmubity io that ermployment alodie, . Sappose k we-re'ad:rrtted, that at this precise timre, we wcould reali-ie sorte grea1 er profit fromtt plantittg, and froma raising cott'ti Ttan fromn any tither occupalion in whtichm we coult! entijage--sUppobte, I say, that this w ete a'dtsn'tted, andI ho w w ould it answer for the fttre ? How long wil the conidition of thzie of the Southerni Siater-, which lie i' S higher~ latitude, be the satnie as it is at present ? Esery mn of ahy aper-ience aitd sagffacity whatever, rtust perceiVe tfib tiechssity of some change in atrpursuits, not onilj in 3ears to: come, but even at this very moment of time6. 'T'e cotton region, to the SoothI and Southiest, has already becotme so eften' sive, that nuthing at all beyond the mei es 'itaccan be made in titis state b~y raisitng t~hat staple, ardd itn the course of a fewv years, unless appearantces are most deceptive indeed, its production wvil be wholly abandoned hero as well as in mia ny of the adjoining States. The more Sout herni tagions, in which tt is now ex *tensively produced, in fifteen or twenty years at fatrthest, nill lie alild mo'supply, and even to overstock the ~ir'rkems of the ~whole world. And, besides this, their *lands are so tmuch better adapted' tk the raising of that article than ours, that it will be entirely fruitless anud vaiti for us to-ex' pect to offer thetti the slightest cotmpeti ton. From the Vast quntities of cotton now raised in different parts of the wurld, its prices hale become so reduced as scarcely to pay a South Cartilinian for plantinr, it -attd ploughitdg i-t thte Orst time, mutch less for tending it through Lbo whole summer, and then gathering ht with the greate t la bfor and exposure during the lf. Des pondenicy and gloaar seems already to be hanging over the whale of our State. We are already so poorly recompensed here for our labor, that about half of our citl :ens are unemployed.-indo-stry languishes with us-the energies of our people are -- dissipated in idleness-and the whole face of the State presents a mnelancholy spectit cie of lands uncultivated-Of itllues to decay-and of a population sunk in itdu eitie. and wretchedness, and pauperismn. I speak as tine having sme acquain ance with men and things, anid I speak bi the fatal truth, wrhenm I say, that the prfound apathy that now reigns over our people, is' truly alartsintg tu every toan who has a proper conception of their condi tion. Whatshall be doue to rouse them up? Shall they be suffered to continue in their p resent state of listlessness and inactivtty? I ......, it-,nw soenmaond spirit .wilt-rule it otherwise. I would rather see aty other calamity ihat could befall us. I would pre fer that our State should be desolated by foreign invaders. Give us anything under the sun rather than the want of. employ ment; give us famine; pestilence, or blood shed, or the sorest of the afflictions of Hea ven, in the place of a negative evil, so ut terly dlestructive of every thing like hu man improvement. and so wholly repug nant to the advancement and stability of our institutions, and to the safety and prosperity of a republican form or govern ment. In passing through this, and some oth ers of the Southern States, a stranger would be completely shoiebl at the incil culable numbers of hearty, robust young men, who follow no bccupatihn under heaven, but smoking cigars. di inking bran dy, and, loafing and lopnging about the different cutes, and towns. and villages. Indeed. it has become so common in this part of the world, for a gentlemnan of pro perty and education to do nothing. that it is aloist disreputable, even for a poor man. to labor for hmis support. As for a yoube man of wealth and stanling in the first circles, to endeavour by his assiduity and industry to improve his estate, such a thing is scarcely dreamed of. If he were to presumte to adopt a course of conduct so so absolnt. lv vulgar, be would be shunned and mocked at by all his gay companions. Geutleneti of pleasure, and. gentlemen of leisure. with their lily white hands, are the duly current stock amodngs us, and the only stock that is acceptable at our markets of manhood and beauty. One of our dashing belles would he horror-struck at the sight ofa pairof sonhurt hands, or of a hronied, dad manly, and noble brow. Even in srad own little village of Edg field, (which t believe is unsurpassed in every thing that is manly by any village in the South.) and in all the villages of my acquaintance. in the State, of a soft, and clear, and hptmy day. whetithey anat bear to expose their tender persons to the air, and to the dangers of the weather, swarms-clouds of these delicate creatttrez of the matcyline gentler, ate tt he seer literally infesting every plaen of codminon reenrt-!(terally d:arkening the avenues of the public buildings, antd the piazza's of the hotels. merchants st6r.es, and grog sh'ps. I will not aticmpt to.disguise the fact--a mati cannot pass through, the streets of as snmall .villages is Edgefietd, Abbeville, Laurens, Greenville, Newherrl. and 1lam~hurg. ar.d many others~that could be named without ercounntering at every corner. groups of hearty able-bodicd .oung men, who can boasy cf follocitig tippctive pursuits in the world. and ofdoing nothing whatever in rho form of butsiness, but eating and drinking, and retailing slanlere and telling stale and miserable, and filthy joiEns The very extreme of their enterprise, scarcely hurries theta beyond a game..of whist. or lue, or brag. it would ho n'iiib better for them if they would gamble ijt tIe, and exhibit at least some.sympijs'of life atd spirit. I firmly believe, that even that abominable vice woild-be less sinful and corrupting to. their mrals, ihati for mbem towhile a way their tidn id suclh pe fect.dager andspor ..skin .as.now.ossesses them,aid-so coiipletely.parfbliies all the nobler faiculties, hoih intellectual and pliy sical, with which they have been endowed by a bountiful Creator. . .. . If our people .ould he induced to take an interest in the establishntottt of manu factories, and the rearing of manufacturing -towns amongst them. it might stir theta up to some activity. It might at least. excite in them a spirit of speculation. and lia1 in rey humble opition would be fully worth an ellirm. T1hose who still have in. dustry and enterprise enough to be addict ed to play, could play at higher and more decent gamwes than sevenutp andfaro bank/. Even ii it should tutrn out that our State is nut adaupted to manmufacturing purposes, whlichi is not at all pro'bable, the money lost in the speculations and enterprises cotmmenced, would be mney wrell expen ded, onder all citeumstances otf the case. In the name of God, I pek .whtat do our young tmen of enpital do with their mnoney? Du theiy lay ,it out to any profitable pitrpmose wh'i,-ver! I canntot foir my life. perceive to what use itt the wrothd it is applied,.hut to passper the sickly alj.etites, anid gr.atify the licenridu~s desirs of the most effemni nare, the mosi indolent, and the tmbst use cs set of men otn top -of the grotned. Trhq descendants of tbe wealthier classes in our sect'intr of the chun trv,' frotm the want of strme proper incentives to actionl, afmost invariably beddine, in a ileneration or two, paupels ainf begprs; ' rthey tne most completely prostrated. as ws . tn mind and body, as in property. charnecter, and reputation. Many of thtem for the lack of employmnent, contratct habtts ofdis sipation, that hturry them on to such ex tremes of degradation, as to make deatht a pleasing alternative to a life of utter wteeth edess. I have no doubt, that: numbers of theom acttndlly commit the awful erm'e of suicirde. If thiey do sot dommit it with the pistol ot the dirk'. they commitf it ity antth er way, that is mutch more distressing to the minds of their friends and relations, and itnfinitely more pertniciouis int its cant sequeces to seci-ety, thItn if thef actually shed their o'we bhbntf with theirown hands. Bum, I ha-d red~rved fomi the cojicloision oft this communi'at ion. ahtiter cotidmera tion in favor of introdingmm manufaetures amongst us, which has always struck me as bemng of much more than common' ti portance. Every iodi'vidutal loves to be independent. and to feel as'securs wvittuub hitself, as his n.eani will allow-icde pendence tmakes him proud and happy, and gives birth to the noblest feelings end the noblest sentiments that arnimate the hu' men heart. Inuependence too, in a state or nation, is cert ainly the greatest blessing that God in his goodness could bestow ,up ont in; and te more perfect atnd complete that indepeedence, the more perfect and salutary becomes the blessing to the ped pe. Now it does seem to me. that weo of South Carolina and Georgia. ought to be able to furnish for ourselves from ihe pro* ducts of our own industry, every necessary article of consumption that we could re quire. We ought not to depend upon the North, or the So'uth, the East, or the West. for our foodor raiment, or any thing we use. Our lands are fertile--our pasturage is good-our climate w ill raise the pro duts of almost every region-our water courses are clear and -bold,. and admirably I sitd for mills sod mnufancturing esta blishments, and our country. is so situatest .as to lay open to, us the commerce of the whole world. From our vast and unlimnit ed resources, if we would call .forth the energies of our people; we could even live. happy without having intercourse with any kingdom or state on earth; With the materials abounding in all parts of these two states, in the very best. and richest quatntities to be found, We ebuld, raise..and tmanufacture every. necessary and every luxury of life that the most fastidions tastes could dermiard. We might le, perfecily self-sufficient. We ought to he ashamed to aik a Kerinucliian for his HIemy and hogs-we .ought to be. ashamied td ask a 'retinesse~en for his hores and cows, dr a Northern man for his broadclothi. calicoes and wooden ntttnegs. We ought to be tshamed. any longer, to ask others for ar ticle which we could raise onrselves, and for the obtaining of which,. we are coam pelled to pay a tax that would support a little kingdom. and thai would line our states from the mountains to the seas, with the most costly manufacturing. establish meets that were eter erected by the skill and ingenuity of man.
