MR. PINCKNEY’S LETTED,
In reply to an invitation to attend the late
celebration at Milledgeville.
CHARLESTON, June 29, 1 -10.
Gentlemen : I have the honor to ac
knowledge the receipt of your favor, in
viting me, on hehalf of the citizens of,
Knldwiu county, opposed to the election
of William 11. II arrisou, to the Prcsidcn- j
c y of the United Slates, to unite with!
them at Milledgeville, in the eeh lnuiiou j
of the approaching anniversary of Ainuti
cau Independence.
Il'gl'lv sensible us the honor conferred
upon me, by this iu\ nation, I respectfully
tender to you, nod through yon, to thosci
whom you represent, the grateful exprcs-N
sion of toy thanks, begging you, at the
same time, to receive the declaration,
equally sincere, of my deep regret that
my olliciul duties w ill not permit me to
accept it.
In declining to attend, however, I can
not softer the opportunity, thus a Horded
me, to puss, w ithout a few remarks upon
the important National controversy, that
is now agitating every portion of this ;
Union, and in reference to w hich, and
for the purpose of a full and free discus
sion of its merits, this interesting celebra
tion lias been appointed.
No more appropriate occasion could
have been shosen for such an object; see
ing that the crisis, at which w e have ar
rived, is little less important than that of
the Revolution itself; and that, upon the
decision of the controversy now pending, I
depends the fearful issue w bother we shrill
continue in the possession and enjoyment
of all our rights ns freemen, or he again
subjected to the painful consequences o.f
arbitrary violations of the federal com
pact, aggravated, perhaps, by more pow
erful and furious assaults than ever upon
the peculiar property and domestic in
stitutions nl the south. Certainly, then,
no day could have been better selected,
than the one on which the Declaration of
American Independence was adopted, to
endeavor to revive the spirit of “’Hi, to
establish anew Declaration upon the ba
sis of the old, to confirm and perpetuate
the rights acquired by the’vnlorand trans
mitted by the virtue of our Ilcrolunlnry
fathers, audio rescue, from the perils that
surround it, that glorious Constitution
which they established as the bond of our
Union and the palladium of our Liberty.
That such may he the result of your
proceedings, 1 fervently pray—that such
will he the result, 1 most confidently be
lieve—for I am not more satisfied that an
unprecedented system of intrigue and de
ception has been resorted to by our op
ponents, to cheat us of our priuciules and
rights, than I am that this base system
will be treated ns it merits, by every
American, who lias sufficient ilitefligcnce
so underslcnd bis rights, and sufficient in- ;
dependence to maintain them. So fear
ful, indeed, are some of the principles in- ;
volvcd in this contest, that I have no
hesitation to sav that the people of the
South have twice taken up arms against
Great Britain, for matters much less dan
gerous-to their rights as freemen, than
some of those for which they are now
actually called upon to support the pre
tensions of Gen. Harrison to the Presi- j
deucy of the Union. It is only necessa-’
rv, then, that they should reflect upon the J
principles on which the contending par
lies are engaged against each other,
(spurning, ns they should do, every at
tempt to deceive them bv appeals to their
passions, and ull the senseless noise and
WASHINGTON, (Wilkes County, Ga.) WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1840.
J revelry by which the movements of the 1
federal party are characterised,) and they
cannot foil to perceive; that if ever they
w ere called upon by patriotism or inter
est to resist Great Britain, they are now
urged by the same motives, and in a
much more powerful manner, to resist
the (-Hurts, to obtain possession of tU,
I Government, of that most extraordinary
| and dangerous combination that is now
j i:im shalied, not only against till their
eh’ rished principles, but even against
their private pence and domestic institu-
I lions. Never, since the Revolution, have I
the interests and liberties ofthe Southern !
I States been in such imminent peril ns j
tlu-v are at present. Never before did
abolitionism assume a political character,
| or aspire to the actual possession and !
regulation of the Government. But now,
I it not only constitutes a component part
| ol a powerful and desperate, faction. but
I wcti-ry. U o .cgntniiug t
n ‘.vti:■cuts of that faction, and compel
ling it to take abolition candidate fur i
I President. Yes, the federal party, in its
miserable desperation and anxiety for
power, has not only changed its name and
attempted to conceal its principles, but.
has actually succumbed to the uholitiati
ists, sacrificing to them a distinguished
statesman of whom they Lave eterv rea
son to he proud, and t’ lmiil-Wu fanatics i
rejected because he had spoken against
the abolition of slavery in the district of
Columbia, and taking at their hands, the
more supple and managehie candidate
whom they were pleased to nominate. I
nil! not stop to contemplate this proceed
ing in relation to the dignity of the old
i federal party; hut I ask every friend of
the south to look at the fact itself, and
then to consider w hether it is not more
than probable that these fanatical cut
mil s oftlie south, who have thus compel
led tin federalist to take an abolition can
didate in opposition to one whom they ;
mucl preferred, will hove a decided nnd
mini longerons influence in the admin.s
t.r.i am-of thtT’tioverninenl, in tlrr-cv.uit
/\ inu election of the individual whom”
titer have lints succeeded in foisting up
on ‘li it party and the country. In my
humble judgment, this very fact above
should he sufficient to carry every true
|miherner in opposition to the candidate
yluis avowedly nominated by the power
/and” the abolitionists, ns n component por
liinn of the whig party of the Union. But,
Fconclusivc ns this alone should be w ith
!% very friend of the south, it is only one of
L long catalogue of objections equally
I yccisive. Let us lot.lt fora moment at

has written letters calculated to conciliate

pretending opposition to those fiiinties on
the other, to he used by Ins friends for Ids
advantage, hut w ith strict injune ous lli t

tpai fid of avowing these principles on the
[one side, or denying them on the other,
he lias relused*duriiig the present can
vass for the Presidency, to make anv
disclosure of Ids views upon anv question
of public policy whatever? Is it lint a
fact, too, that, w hilst neither he nor Ids j
party will make any public avowals of
their principles, they have been sedunus
ly endeavoring to entrap the people, by
the grossest system of intrigue nml de- ,
ceptton, and by constant appeal- Jo the
basest passions of our Nature? It has
been truly said that nothing lias ever been
exhibited ill any country, equal to the
contempt manifested for the understan
dings of tlxf people. Dealing ohlv in the
most unmeaning generalities, nod hav
ing no arguments hut general and un
founded denunciations of the mlministin
tion, to which they impute all the nets of
extravagance that originated w ith them
selves, they accompany their harrangues
with the most disgraceful scenes of bac
chanalian revelry and riot, firmly believ
ing that the American people mv so sense
less as to take pngeiilrv lor principles,or
so besotted as to join their party for the
j mere love of liquor? The reign of this !
( pitiful artificial excitement, honettr, has
drawn to a close. The people have be
! nine disgusted with scenes, which, pre
senting nothing for reflection to their
min (Is, have'been addressed entirely to the
lowest propensities of llieir niiiinal nature.
The holy alliance of the v* bigs niidsdmli
tionists, is daily losing strength. It melts;
like snow, beneath the united rays of lib
erty and reason. General Harrison's se
cret letters have driven from him many of
1 1 is most powerful nnd influential friends.
His refusal to avow Ids principles and
j policy, publicly, is driving many more:
: and numbers more are daily leaving him
i on account of the factions, unprincipled
I and degrading manner in wlilch the op
position of the administration is conduc
ted. Never was the old adage, (fam
Dens vull perdcre, prius dement a!, more
| literally verified. Well knowing that
defeat awaits them, they rosilly pursue
a career which will inevitahlys-ender their
.overthrow’ more thorough and decisive.
The only question, then, is, shall we do
anv thing to hinder it? Shall welAideav nr
to Mist do ti patty, nil of whose principles
and measures are hostihfTo the Jaoittli? or
shall we not rather go with the democ
racy of the North nnd West, where alone
Ivve cat. find Stale Heights principles, nnd
ja fixed determination to maintain the
■compromises of lire federal Constitution?
■Mv firm conviction is, that the decision
•t tfie controversy will settle the politics
Wf this country, and ensure the ascendan
of Southern dvctiines, for at leRSt leu
V
| years to come. The pri Suit advrfiTiistra
j don has substantially restore!* the Gov
ernment to its nrigiomil and
: purity, and Republicans can ugaiiAkiifite
in the triumph ofihose grr

It is notorious oil the contrary tlint Gene

hv the patriotic energy ol Tinup, has vet ]
been forgotten by any State Bights c'iti- ;
zen of Georgia. It was for his support

pendonec upon them for his election to
the Presidency, and admitting for argil- j
incut’s sake, that he is its sound as his !
competitor in relation to abolition, it nun 1
well be asked whether he possesses any

with the South, or exhibits the remotest :

it not he the height of iofntunTtrm
vest with the power of the Presidency a :
man entertaining such sentiments, sup- !
ported by such a party, and subject to j
the operation of such baleful influences? j
and not only this, could he he trusted on
any other subject tifleciiiig the distinctive
interests nnd political sovereignty of the
Southern States? Is he not supported by
Clay and Webster? In the event of his !
election, would not they be the leaders of
his administration in Congress, and vie- i
In ally the directors ol all his policy as
President? Would the people of the
Smith place either of those gent'eincn ut
the head of our Government! llow then
can they support one, who, having little
or no talent, aud no fixed prim iplt s by
which to direct his course, would only he
an instrument in the hands of a cabal?
What possible security would the South
era States have, in relation to any of
those measures by which the federal com
pact might again he violated, the ii politi
cal rights assailed, and the freedom of
their commerce, nnd consequently the
value of their agricultural properly de
stroyed? Is lie not supported by nil the
.Slades and Adamses and Garrisons in
the country; and what possible security,
then, could the Southern Stales have,
that instead us that firm and patriotic nnd ;
uncompromising rejection of abolition
petitions vv liieh they have received and i
may always confidently look for, from a i
democratic majority in Congress, they ;
may not he culled upon “to stand to their
arms,” by the actual .introduction nnd
passage of a Bill abolishing slavery in the
District of Columbia? Is it not our true
policy, then, to go with the democracy of
the North, who are the natural allies c.f
the South, and upon whom we may de
pend for all those measures that are most
: in accordance w ith our own rights aud
interest, nnd not to jeopardize every ‘ “

ohv , 1 lie cause so clear, I hut
conceive how many Southern State qHK
men can hesitate about it.— It is a
of moral philosophy, that where two soli?
of a question are presented, of which the
due is doubtful nnd the other safe, it is
\ the part of wisdom to adopt the latter.
How forcibly this maxim applies to the
| present contest. By rc-electing Mr. Van

hut if, discarding tlint sound republican

W hy diil real estate which cost in ISI7,

Was it the v, ant of a United Slates Bank!
Why was it that flour sold for from sl2

and a half, in 1818? Was it Gen. Jack

Why were nor imports sixty millions
more than our exports ill 1810? Was it
the specie humbug.
Why were thousands nnd tens of thou
sands thrown out of employment in 1818
ami 1819! Was it the “Sub-Treasury?
Why was it that in 1810 mid ‘l7, wild
aud reckless speculations were engaged
in, and wanton extravagance nnd luxury
w ere the order of the day?—Was it the
“want of paper money?”
Why was it in 1818, ’lf), ’2O, nnd ’2l,
our hunks, our merchants, and our mantt

Was it “caused by the administration of
