ot last montn, inviting mo to attend a
'DemtXJl'atic meeting 011 the 28th of that

was one of the orators selectod for that
occasion, is now before me.

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is now fully settled, or superseded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-!

COURT WEEK.
Quite n number of persons luive been iu
attendance upon Court during the presont
Session of tbe Court of Common Pleas and
Gcnerul Sessh ns for this Distiict. A num
bcr ofliligated eases have demanded tbe attention
of tbe Court, and a number will
have to be postponed for want of timfc.?
The Circuit liar is pretty generally represented.

Cnoicu and Carlisle, from Spartanburg ;

and Wolfe, from Laurens. We bad the
Ipleasure of seeing cur young friend Isaac

our young townsman abundant success in
the labors of tlio law, wbcro lie lias but recently
located.
Judge WurrsEtt presides, and dsspatches
the business before bim with a degree of
forbearance which we have seldom witnessed.
The cases which have arisen, so far,
have been unusually uninteresting and uuiinportant,
yet consuming a vast deal of
time and patience.
Solicitor Keid, with liis accustomed alacrity,
lias discharged his duties faithfully.?
We know of no case, however, peculiarly
interesting, that has required prosecution at
his hands.
Our streets, during the present week have
presented an unusually quiet scene. Unlike
the days "lung sync," when every one was
liccticcd to got drunk if ho desired, we have
seen but one, and heard of another case of
drunkenness. There may have been a third
case, for the orfe we noticed accounted for
his tinstoaJiness from haviny smelt the breath
of some otic drunk.
THE LAOTES' FAIR.
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

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

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 ??

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. The
liborality of our political system has been

cuteitained in the most acceptable stylo with

seemod difficult to satisfy them. When
they bad eaten all they could, they joined
the officers in the dance, ir. which they excel.

fashionable dances of Europe. The

the fact that, in the former expeditions, the
officers instructed the Greenland belles iu the
fashionable dances of the day.

One of the queerest and funniest'things to

his hair with fragrant oHs, scatters esscences
over jjiif hnnkercuiet and desperately shaves
and nnnoints for a bqard. He quotes poetry
m which 'love/ ana More,1 and 'heart,'and

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.?

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

The Fandango**1110

) ass ion?love, desire, hope, proud dislaiu,
and relenting tenderness. Cold
efusal and warm confession of tho
soil impeachment* are vividly reproiented
by means of the modulations of
he music and the voluptuous movenent
of the dancers. Temperament
tnd custom have rendered the fandan$o
and, bolero (the latter of which is
jut a continuation or tftonel to theVh*ner)
expressive ofthe intoxicating joy
>f successful love, the especial favortes
of the Spanish, and usually form M
he finale of all social pleasure.
Tho reserve and characteristic hauteur
>f tho Spaniard instantly quit the field
vhen the light tinkling oi the guitar
alls him to the wanton fandango. ?
"It is recorded that the clergy, shock)d
at the immoral nature ofthe fandanp),
resolved in solemn assembly npon
ta suppression. A consistory was cotnnissioned
to make it tho subject of injuiry;
andw after duo deliberation,
vhen they wore about to pronounce
sentence upon and vanish the dance,'
>ne ofthe prelates, actuated by sentinents
of right aiul justice, and acting
ipon the principle that 110 defendant
hoiild be condemned unheard, urged
hat the fandango, the accused, should
>e brought before the bar of the court
npropria peruana. Tho justness of
bis benevolent dignitnrv's view was at
nco acknowledged, and accordingly
wo ofthe most noted Spanish dancers
vore summoned to anneal' before the
3ourt by way of counsel for the defeiifante
; or. hi other words, to iutroduco
he fandango before the august. tribuisd.
The dance commenced ; the holy
id hers, with contracted brows, looked
or awhile unmoved; at length the seluciivc
charms and irresistible loveliicss
of the dance exhibited their efects
in chasing away the wrinkles from
ho foreheads of its austere judges.
Iostile indications and liel I i cose in tenions
with reference to the danco by
m perceptible degrees merged into
ively interest and lixed attention.
i'ow, as its charms more fully developd
themselves, one of the reverend genleinoti
so far forgot himself and his
osition as to be guilty of thc( manifest
npropriety of boating time to the
movements of the music. The <knico
rent on, becoming st.ill more-and in-no
?d native, when one of tho worthy
lergv suddenly bolted from his scat
ud commenced executing the inoveJtenta
of the dance. Another and anther
followed; the furore became
eneral, the Judges'bench was empty,
nd what was late a clerical Court
as suddenly metamorphosed iuto a
ancing saloon.
4Tt is needless to record tho verdict,
ho fandango was reinstated with all
s former rights and privileges, and
s glorious triumph has proved its seurity
against all similar attempts ou

tat in this christian and enlightened

uty to rocord so flagrant a case of inderanco
as occurred iu this place a

uty, as faithful journalists, to record

Tire Spartanburg Express of the 18th
inst., contains the following communication
:
"JEilitor:?I noticed, a few
days since, in the Charleston Courier
an intimation of an anticipated visit,
by some of the Volunteer Military
companies of Charleston, to the battle
ground of "Cowpens." ^May I express
toe sincere wish that this laudable purpose
will bo carried out. They speak
of next Spring as the time. Will not
Spartanburg take up this subject herself
to do something that will be worthy
of her name?at least let her get up a
subscription for a monument on the
battle-ground of Cow pens.
"Permit me to lay beforo your read
crs the suggestion of one of Carolina's
noblest sorts, one who has spent a long,
: active life in her service. The lion.
J. P. O'Neall, in a recent letter, says :
i 'With you I hope on that field of Southern
glory, 'The Cowpcns,' Spartanburg
I will erect a monument, and inscribe it
j'Cowpcns, 17th January. 1781." 1
l should like it to be an iron eonestrian
statue of the iron-hearicJ Morgan, I
say iron because it should be cast of
1 iron from %tho 'Cowpen's furnace." It
> would thus be all of -Carolina, all of
; Spartauburg, and worthy of tlio old
I Sparta.'
