MARGATE, SEPT. 25.

AIR. EDITOR,

If you had been a visitor at this place dt-ring
thepresent, season, you would not have suffered
the scandalous abase which appeared afew days,
a: co in a London Morning Print to pass onan-;
steered, for you would have been convinced that
the writer's description of the people now here is
utterly unfounded.. He declares that the visitors
of Margate are " the dregs of the dregs,. the re-
fuse, indigent, and filth of the three kingdoms;"
and at the sometime he says that the to,wn is, so
crowded that it is wonderful how, people are able
to get any accommodation. It is obvious, Sir,
that if the,town: is so crowded, the expense of
living ,here must be beyond the finances of `°the
dregs of the -dregs,. the refuse, indigent, and filth
of the three,kingcioms." But, Sir, it is. not no-,
cessary to justify the visitors 61 .Ai.-::rg-4te by, sliew;-
lug the gross contraalictions of this vulgar and
'most illiberal writer ; the least inquiry wilt satisfy
you that the visitors this season-have been alto-.
gethey full as respectable as at any other place
.of
a similar nature. lam surprised that &respect-
able public Journal should have admitted such
low falsehood anti abase, which. is evidently the
effusion of private'malice, and totally opposite td
truth as well as decency. That there have been
some diversions .only adapted to the lower order
of people must be acknowledged,: but it is well
known that similar amusements occur at other
places, and even in the suburbs of the metropolis;
but the general entertainments of the town are
fitted to gratify people of a refined taste, which
are such as characterise the manners of thetimes,
and are by no means peculiar to Margate, whether
objectionable or otherwise. In justice to the
town and the feelings of the visitors and inha-
bitants, I trust that you will find room for this
short tribute to truth and decency, in opposition-
to malevbience and falsehood.
