InwUnfSnn ?? . ? !?.* Ill II 11" til my roturn, and I now avail myself of tli? earliest moment to reply. Accept the thanks of a heart, warm and keenly alivo with gratitude, of the complimentary terms in which you allude to 'the services I have rendered the Democratic party, in years that have pine by. I am happy to know that the great principles tor which I then contended liave all been settled by the country, as I so much desired. * You state in your letter, that you believe I am "one ever ready to lmttlo in tho cause of Democracy, under any and all circumstances, the lute Plat* form of tho so-called great American party to the contrary, notwithstanding."1 If you moan, by tins, that I am always | ready to battle under the bare name of | Democracy, without regard to princi- j I pies, even when there aro no great | principles involved, under the name, | 4 your arc wrong. ,If*, however, you mean that I am always willing to do battle for such principles as were onccadrooated under the Democratic banner, when contending against tho Whig party, then you are right. Hut all those old issues aro now set-| tied. And, if those parties only existed upon principles (as both parties ,l..l .1 l'J\ . ' vviiicuuvu 11luy auu j 1110 (jucsuous Doing settled, tnoy no longer exist as parties. There is but one question now in existence, that has heretofore been discussed by the two named parties ;aud upon this they never Were at issues, I mean the slavery question. The only dispute on this subject between them, was as to which party had the best national platform, and which most favored the Southern interest. This question is now fully settled, or superseded by the American party, having adopted aud placed before the country, a far better platform than either, or than was ever presented to the people of the United States before. The slavery aucstion being the great questi ?n of le times, ancl the American platform being the best upon that subject, I shall always be found ad vacating the principles therein set forth. The Democratic platform, 011 this subject, was the best we ever had previous to the adoption of the American platform. I therefore stood upon that until I saw the hitter. He is now the; best Democrat who stands upon the! best platform for the union of the States. That, in my opinion, is the! great Artierican platform. When new parties are formed, the party iu power, by that ascendency,' holds the popular name; but the bare name will not answer their purposes long, when the people find they have no principles to sustain the name. lor some time past there have been ; two kinds of Democracy iu the State -?the true Democracy and the pure' Democracy. The true Democracy are true to Conway, true to Johnson, and true to office. Tho pure Democracy are for orinciDles. without roomrd tr? men or office. These latter will all be y found, soon or late upon the Ameri-j can platform. I am sorry I have not time to write j yon a letter more at length. But, as I have been from homo, and letters and | business have accumulated, time pres- j ees me, and I must close. You are at' liberty to use this letter as you may i think proper. If nothing unexpected J happens, I Bball be in your city on 11 Saturday, the 8th day of September, i when I will give you my views more fully. , Accept for yourselves, and thoso whom vou have the honor to retire-! sent, my beat wishes.

The Fair of the Ladies of the Methodist Church, on Tuesday night last, was well at- i tended by tho citizens and strangers. The ' articles exhibited were tastefully gotten up j and well arranged ; many were useful, others I ornamental, and some intended merely to be j given away. The young ladies who. acted j as the sales-men acquitted themselves hand- j somcly. The articles sold, wc learn, brought , good prices. How could it be otherwise? i1 when d'qir hands oiler wc niav expect to get I ... -A r."? nrucits ni fair prices. Every thing was passing off pleasantly j when we left, which we regret to say w as at nil early hour. The Greenville Brass Band was favoring the crowd with delightful music, and the ladies with many smiles were receiving the agreeable attentions of onr village beaux. These fairs answer many admirable ' purposes?they not only serve as occasions for ladies to display their goods and ware-;, but rtlso to young gentlemen as opportunities 10 j rid themselves <?f small incumbrances in the ' way of dimes and dollars, lying ioosely about (' llier. _ _ I Santa Anna at Ckkthaobna.?The As- ' pinwall Courier tays: '"Santa4Anna and fan?- ^ ily arc safely installed in and near Carthagena.'

The Ladies' Fair at FairviewTiib Ladies' Fair, of wbicl^ notice was given not long since, came off at Fairview Church, in iho lower part of this district, on Tuesday, the 9th insL One of those bright huU ivVfciy days of >hu wliicu u>*kua one cheerful and happy. At an early hour a large and respectable concourse of persons bad assembled at the Church, anxious to aee the exhibition of Fair articles done up by fair hnnda. Some preliminary arrangements having been made, the crowd assembled in the Church and listened attentively to a short and appropriate address delivered to the association by the Rev. Mr. Stewart. After ashort internal the crowd assembled at the stand near by, wheq the articles were announced for exhibition. No pains had been spared on the part ol the ladies, to make the'Occasion an interesting one?and judgiug from the joyous face* present, we presume that all enjoyed it. There was much taste and judgement displayed in the fitting out and selecting of articles?ronuy of which were prepared by tlieii own hands?a thing which enhanced thcii value, (in our estimation at least.) and alsc showed that tho mothers abont Fairview had not neglected to educate their daugli office of every mau who holds allegiance to auy foreign prince or potentate, civil or eccleastical. These three principles arc considered to ho essential to the preservation of (hq liberties of this country, and the future welfare of the people?anil they receive the hearty approval not only of the Americans, but of vast numbers of naturalized citizens, who will cheerfully co-operate in their enforcement. That the elective franchise, ha# been, and will continue to be abused, under the present ostein, am! that the mora'a of the country liavo deteriorated under its operation, will bo idiniltcd by all g>K>d citizens, whether nalivo or naturalized?and such persons desire, :?f course, to ?eo a corrective applied. Tlie American party propose to apply it by I .I t -? s icngiuemng ine probationary period before admittance to citizenship, to that no man tliail exercise the rights of an American citizen, who may arrive in this country after the passage of the law, until ho shall have remained here long enough to Understand the nature of our government, and somewhat of the laws, customs and manners of tlio American people. Who will object to this proreeding? Not the native or naturalized citizen who sincerely desires to see the liberties of tb&people preserved in their purity. No.? Such citizens will gladly co-operate to ?pfomote the praiseworthy object, Tho evils of having an ignorant foreign population ruling our flections?and our penitentiaries, jails and Poor Houses filled with foreign jriminals and pnnpers, are felt equally by jfood citizens of all classes. The Americ* o?, [hen, so far from depriving naturalized eiti ten* their rights, desire their aid to tors in domestic as well as parlor accomplishments; both, as a matter of course, desirable in their proper time and place. Tho articles were various and numerous, and we feel that we should be doing injustice to attempt to laud any single article on exhibition over others. Suffice it to say, that the useful, the ornamental and agreeable were all happily blended, and did hotior to the fair contributors. Tho articles were not offered at private sale, as 4* the custom on such occasions, but auctioned!*}* the minister, Rev. Mr.#STKWART. It is our impression that the association would have realized more by offering them thcmsolves, and afterwards auctioning such its remained unsold. We understand tho proceeds of the present fair will be appropriated for tho construction of a pulpit, purchasing a Hiblo and furniture for the new Church, to be built soon at that placo. The association was formed the past summer and regularly organized by the election of officers, drc. Its object is to aid in benevolent and charitable enterprises, and well do tlicy merit tho approbation and encouragement of all true christians and philanthropists. We wish thcin success, and hope that they may go on prosperously with the glorious work in which they Jiavo engaged. A SPECTATOR. The Principles of the American Party* Tiir;iu; is not a single principle contained in the Platform, or in tho practice of the American party, which will justify the charge that has been falsely mado, that there is a desire to deprive naturalized citizens of their rights. Tho objects of the party nre entirely jx-r.-peetivo. They wish to prevent evils which may arUe hereafter by the influx of an iinmens^ foreign population; but have no desire to interfere with the rights which have been already acquired. There are three nri-enl I.U -1 ?? 0- miu UUWII III UlVir platform, which they intend to roduce to prnc-tico, if they obtain the power, viz: The extension of tlio term of residence before naturalization to twenty one years ; the prevention of the introduction of foreign convicts and Dnuners: and the ?lh?in!?!il5i>j>r!im for ^4" ^gjjrye &e eleflive franchises hore, and to 611 thfffrdfclifl'ptnoes with the beet mon. They recognize amongst naturalized citizens, some of the most worthy ami enterprising men in the community?men of a& purely American principles as can be found, and who are worthy of k'i trust ?nd confidence. It ss, then, a great error to suppose that any design is entertained to interfere with the lights of such persons, or to treat lightly lltpir nninumt orwl inflnnwea WIIVI Ifiu UVIIVCi We tmy unhesitatingly, that every man who feels himself bouud to any foreign prince or potentate, civil or ecclesiastical, by any 1 ties superior to that which hinds hiin to this country, is not worthy of being entrusted with public office. "Where his heart is there also should bo his body." lie cannot faithfully serve two masters?nor be faithful f to this country, if he believe that the control of it belongs of right to a foreign prince.? > Under these impressions, such individuals will be excluded from public trust. In short, there is not a single principle ad VHnced in the platform of the American par' ty, which is not consistent with sound poli' cy and the dictates of justice?at least nc* cording to our construction of it. The country belongs to the American people, and its government should bo under their control. So thought our forefathers, and so believe the American party of the present day.

This discoloration of the waera is by 110; c means peculiar to the lied Sea. The warm water > of the Pacdic Ocean swarm with nascent organisms, soiuo-! times animal and sometimes vogeta- ( ble, which color its surface crimson,: brown, black or white, according to| their own hues. These patches of colored . water often extend, especially in the! Indian Oceau, as far as the eye can reach. Along the coast of China vcl- t low 8pots are not uncommon, an '?*>!< Tellow Sea derives its name from the frequency of the yellowish patches in that locality. The average depth of the Red Sea is about 600 feet. Sudden changes of tl>e wind and violent irales render its navigation difficult.? V K* I Nevertheless, in past years, before the n discovery of the passage around the o Cape of Good Hope, it was the ^>rinci- g pal route of truflic between Europe a and the East, and even now it is itn- v, portant as a part of the direct route d between Europe and India. Lieut. Manry, in an account of the j 'I currents of the Ocean, says that there it is a perpetual current rushing from it the Indian Ocean into the lted Sea.? ei This current is peculiar, inasmuch as, t! while the bottom of it Is probably a water-level, the surface is an inclin'cd plane, running down bill. The causes f} which render the surface of die sea C( lower as it becomes more distant from . the straits are these : The sea is in a rainless and riverless district; its h shores are burning sands ; the cvapora- ft tion is ceaeeloss, and none of the va-! u Cors which the scorching wind that | <] lows over it carry away are returned ; t] to it in other forms. When we con-!n sider how dry and hot the winds arc M which blow upon tho sea, we may sup- t] pose the daily evaporation to be im- a monse, probably not less than an inch. ti Calling it, however, half an inch only j| if we supjKvse the velocity of the cur- 0 rent to average twenty miles a day, it tl would take the water fifteen days to tl arrive at a distance of one thousand ,_!U- r it.. a - 11 -i luuua irum inu mourn, uiui oy inai; ,j time it would have lost by evaporation ^ fifty half inches, or one inch more! n than two feet. It would be twenty-five j, inches lower than the waves which tl arc just entering the straits, and which j{ huve lost nothing by evaporation. y The salt of course cannot evaporate, r and, therefore, the water becomes n salter in proportion, and heavier, as its I freshness is evaporated. One would E think, at first glance, that the eventual ii result wonld be either that this'heavier C and salter would deposit its surplus t< salt in the shape of crystals, and thus b gradually make the bottom of the Red ea a salt bed, or that it would extract d all the salt from the ocean to make the r< Red Sea brine, neither which processes t< is in reality is going on. The truth h is that there is a constant under or ontcr o current, as there is from the Mediterra* d nean through the S.raits ofGi bo raited U and that this heavy water, or brine, is continually flowing out of the Straits of n liablemondal, beneath the current &T U fresher and lighter water firem the sea, h which is III continually flowing in.
