the unwelcome amount' is to be placed to the

Mr.. EditoE-I have read with the greatest
pleasure the conclusion Of Mr.. Grimke's letter
TO the people Of South Carolina, which you fur
nished Us with this morning, and cannot refrain
from expressing my high appreciation OF bis pacl-
fc and patriotic sentiments, as well as OF the
beautiful language in which they are clothed
Eloguence such as pervades the letter oil Mr..
Grimke, is not often to be met with, and sill rar-
err are the instances of SO much elOquence and
practical good sense combined. You do no more
than pass a Just compliment upon Nc. u. when
YOU call linn a g Christian Patriot;' aud well
NAV YOU ask "what more enobling eplthet would
any man desire:" Would to Heaven that all
men were impressed with his views, and would
harken to his solema adjuratIous to blot out
forever from our laws the "law Of the sword"
that terrible law which, in all ages and in all
countries, has bighted the fairest prospects and
married the fondest hopes. l should be delighted
to see our statesmen echOing the peaceful doc
trines avowed by the eloquent South Carolinian,
and declaring that, as far as their influence ex-
tends, wars aud runners Of wars shall no more be
beard of in our land. Sometimes, when think
of the horrible scenes that would be enacted IN
this now peaceful and happy country, should
civil soar break out, | am almost ready to aban-
don all hope in despair, and look forward to
day Of awful retribution for mercies sighted and
our national insrati,ude. The league and cove
nant which binds these States together should
have enblazoned on it, {" there shall he no WARS
in all our borders" The idea of an appeal to
arms on any matter disputed amongst ourselves
ought to I've secuted alive ought to learn TO re-
gard it as a thing impossible in any event! But
am straying farther than intended. took
up my pen, Mr. Editor, merely to express the
pleasure which experienced in perusug the
rich treat which Won offered us this morning.
and my wish that Mr.. Grimke's opinions may
not TALL upon barren ground in any quarter Of
ihi. Union, or even where tdres may grow up
and choke them; but may spring up in the lives
and conduct Of our public men and private cili-
zens. yielding TO the Republic rich harvest OF
devoted patriotism and Christian charity and
peace. BEL A.

PROSPECT BEFORE US.
Enquirer SAYS


.H is said. that Mr.. Calhoun has declared it
was useless for Virginia to debate Or send depu-
ties-that South Carolina had taken her stand j.,
from which she would not depart--aod unless she
was assured that Convention Of all the States
would be called, her Ordinance, &c. would not
be suspended.
We trust there is some mistake IN this stale
ment. We are aware, that different Opinion
has been attributed on The strongest grounds TO
Mr. McDufhe.
but let US do our duty-Let US try TO save
the peace and integrity Of the Union-Ths is
the part tha, becomes Us. II South Carolina de-
ciines our liberal overture, be it so!-lf she be
so infatuated as TO decline all terms, but upon
her own die taipn to all her sisters, she will Ger
taiuly gain no new sympathy or support in the
South Virginia can b. as 6rm as South Caro-
lima "
The Richmond Wing. on the contrary, says:
This on aii of the Enquirer, we believe. is
not entitled to credit. On the contrary, we have
uuder stood Mr.. Calhoun declared, in converse.
tIun, that South Carolina would listen TO the ap-
peal Of Virginia with all respect; that she would
cpIise her IN every thing except the surrender OF
ptiacIpie; and that her Ordinance UO,dd be sus-
peuded a, ;he ,ntreaty q: this State. We dO
not learn that he stipulated arg conditions prece-
dent TO the rendering tins courtesy. Oar ed-
ton is itself hut sn on di, but sc never ,heless
believe IL entitled to implicit crcdence."
IL another article the Wing says:--
=. There are many JUST grounds for hoping,
that the Government Of South Carolina viii, at
all events, postpone the day wien 1t is to go into
operation We do not doubt that the mediation
OF Virginia will ehtctual. Without that medi.
tation, We are inclined to the belief, that the
Tralff, under the plan of the COMMITTEE Of Ways
and Means, would satisfy South Carnlina, and
that when she pereeiyes that movement, size
will voluntarily suspend the Ordinance. aud
abide the issue 0t the attempt. The President OF
the Convention is empowered TO re-assembe It,.
l. we presume he will not heslateio do so when he
perceives the probability OF pacific adjustment
Of all difficulties. The Convention will, from
some or all Of these causes, certainly delay the
execution OF the Ordinance to a more distant
day; aud we for one, shall trust with sangulne
confidence to see harmony restored in the inter-
val.
But, If the worst comes to the worst, and the
Ordinance is enforced on first February-we do
not see the necessity, nay, the probability, ut
blood shed, The Courts will be sought by both
parties Mr. M'Duffie solemnly declares,
that IT II not, and never was, contemplated, to
Resist The judgments OF the Federal Courts BY
force-~that Snuth Carolina is armed, not for Of.
fence. but solely for defence. II this be So
AMI the high name of Mr.. M'Duffie is pledged
to it-why need We entertain such uOmy APP
prehension,"
We pray that the hopes thus held out may not
prove d,u,ive- that South Carolina will p"use
III her mad career, and the Union be saved.
