on, a suburb of Boston. His name was at first Job, but was afterwards changed to Charles Pinckney by his father, who probably had friendly relations with the South Carolina statesman. Charles Pinckney Sumner contributed, with the signature of An Elderly Man, a sketch of Charles Pinckney to the Patriot and Mercantile Advertisere to him from Fort Niagara, Jan. 11, 1833,— What think you of the nullifiers? Our affairs begin to assume a very gloomy appearance in that quarter. If South Carolina stood alone, there would be less cause of apprehension; but is there not every reason to fear that it will result in a controversy between North and South? Wlines, and expressing his fear that, in an emergency, its authority will be aided but little by the militia south of the Potomac; and that Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama will sooner or later unite and bid defiance to the North. He added: In the course of this year, 1833, I trust we are to see wh

enjoyments of the past, and of the too palpable certainty that those enjoyments will never again be met except by Memory in her pleasant wanderings. But stop!— We truly are in a sad state. Civil war, in a portentous cloud, hangs over us. South Carolina, though the sorest part of our system, is not the only part that is galled. Georgia cannot, Virginia cannot, stomach the high Federal doctrines which the President has set forth in his proclamation, Andrew Jackson's Proclamation of Dec., 1832, upon the occasion of the nullifying ordinance of South Carolina. and upon which the stability of the country rests. That is a glorious document, worthy of any President. Our part of the country rejoices in it as a true exposition of the Constitution, and a fervid address to those wayward men who are now plunging us into disgrace abroad and misery at home. Judge Story speaks much of its value; and so striking did its argument appear to him, that he has introduced it into a note to his wo

oad to Baltimore, he riding in the inside and I necessarily on the outside,—I have determined to remain a few days longer in this city of magnificent distances, to give an undivided attention to the debates in Congress, which are growing daily in interest. Mr. Webster has this day presented, with an eloquent speech, the protest from Boston, and also introduced his bank-bill. Webster's Works, Vol. IV. pp. 82-102. This last will excite great debate. Mr. McDuffie Representative from South Carolina. told me to-day that he should endeavor to show, to-morrow or next day, that General Jackson has deliberately aimed to engross all the powers of the government; and, in short, to challenge little short of a kingly crown. I shall not start for home till the last of the week,—say Friday or Saturday or Sunday,—and shall be fully a week on my way. My dear Mary, I am ashamed of addressing such a letter as the above to you. It contains nothing, I feel, adapted to your age, and should rather<

Dr. Francis Lieber. Boston, June 28, 1836. my dear friend, The omitted parts of this and other letters to Dr. Lieber relate largely to Sumner's efforts in obtaining the publication of Dr. Lieber's writings.—. . . Judge Story showed me a letter from you, from which it appears that you have received Mittermaier's articles. I also received your National Gazette and the United States Gazette, containing the annunciation of your appointment. To a professorship in the University of South Carolina. Have you translated the articles yet? How long are they? Do you propose to publish them? If you have not time to translate them, send them here and I will have them translated for the Jurist. American Jurist, Oct., 1835, Vol. XIV. pp. 330-344. Judge Story always speaks of you with the liveliest regard. He says you always, when he converses with you, set him a-thinking. I am glad you propose to publish your Recollections of Niebuhr. I thought some time ago that you might profita

t pleasure. I think, however, that I place a higher estimate on all his labors than is generally placed here. Descriptions of Jouffroy and Lerminier, already given in the Journal, are omitted. . . . De Gerando has inquired with great friendship after you, and requested me to apologize to you for his long silence. Sismondi is now in Paris to superintend the publication of a work on political economy. He requested to be kindly remembered to you. In Paris I have met a Mr. Gibbs, of South Carolina, a resident here for some years. He is a slaveholder, and yet is against slavery, and believes it can be and ought to be abolished. I have conversed with him, and found him full of philanthropic views. He informs me that some time since he sent a letter to America for publication,—I think in the New York American,—signed a Slaveholder, and pointing out a way in which slavery might be abolished. Let me invite your attention to this production, if you meet with it; I have not seen it m
