In the South Carolina Convention which ratified the Constitution, Gen Pinckney spoke of the difference between the inhabitants of the Northern and Southern States. He explained: When I say Southern, I mean Maryland and the States southward of her. There, we may truly observe that nature has drawn as strong marks of distin

Among other things he told me that Tom Paine, who lived in Monroe's house at Paris, had a great deal too much influence over Monroe; that Monroe's insinuations and representations of General Pinckney's character, as an aristocrat, prevented his reception as Minister by the Directory, and that, in general, Monroe, with whose negotiations and affairs Pichon was specially charged, acted as a party-democrat against the interests of General Washington's administration, and against what Pichon considered the interests of the United States. Of Burr, he said that he was the most unprincipled man he had almost ever known, and that he hardly knew how he could have become so, to such a degree

ruction? It is the practical application of coercion. It is logic turning to facts. It is coercion at its work. It is the torch of the incendiary, the knife of the assassin, the firearm of the bandit, sending death-blows to the life of the State, to the heart of society, and to the hopes of civilization, that ignorance and vice may be exalted, and intelligence and virtue degraded! Do I exaggerate? Look at South Carolina and answer. See the land of Marion and Sumter, of Rutledge and Pinckney, of Calhoun and Butler, the prey and sport of rioting thieves and gluttonous plunderers, whose orgies continue days, months and years in the face of the nation and under Federal protection! Look at Louisiana! Behold a sovereign State sentenced to the chain-gang by telegram from Washington, to work at hard labor under negro and carpet-bag drivers! This, this, is the fruit of coercion! These are the works of reconstruction! Have the people of America no shame? Has the God of heave

ise, by which slavery was forbidden north of latitude 36 degrees 30 minutes and permitted south of that line. Here, again, the South committed the grave error of allowing vested rights to be abridged in order to still a temporary storm. Each time that the South agreed to a compromise she weakened herself and strengthened her adversary. Slavery Constitutional. From this time on the history of sectional disagreement is largely a history of the slavery question. On May 25, 1836, Mr. Pinckney, of South Carolina, introduced the following resolution in the House of Representatives, which was passed by a vote of 182 to 9 (six of the negative votes being from New England): Resolved, That Congress possesses no constitutional authority to interfere, in any way, with the institution of slavery in any of the States of this Confederacy. John C. Calhoun's resolutions passed in the United States Senate January 12, 1838, are of the same tenor, but more elaborate: Resolved, Tha

ught a house which he sold later to his father, just before he established himself in his permanent home at the corner of Riverside avenue and Foster's court—as we know them today. The firm built sixty-three ships, and the partners retired in 1849 after amassing comfortable fortunes, according to the standards at that time. The first vessels built were brigs and schooners. The first ship was the Rassellas, built in 1820. The same year they built the steam-boat, a stern wheeler, Governor Pinckney for———Sullivan, of Boston. By the name of the boat and the surname of the owner, (no other name is given in Brooks' History) we infer that it was the invention of John L. Sullivan, of Middlesex canal fame, and was put in commission on the Santee River, in South Carolina. The only other steam vessel was built in 1841 and was modelled much like the ferry boats of today. This one was used by the Eastern Railroad to transport passengers from its terminal at East Boston to the city pr
