Mr. Pinckney.
In the last number of this paper we endeavored
to show that Mr. Pinckney’s resolution was ill
timed, hostile to the interests of the South, and
favorable to the abolitionists in Congress, and
that the reasons which he assigned for his con
duct were delusive, if nut dangerous. We were
next to enquire whether the consequences which
he promises the country, are likely to How it.—
Some of the consequences we have already wit
nessed, and he must have been strangely blind
ed, if he could not foresee them. In the first
place, his movement has completely disconcert
ed his allies of the South, and exposed some of
them of both parties, to the most unjust charges
and suspicions, and at the same time, robbed
them of a fair opportunity of repelling these
charges, and removing those suspicions. Take
for example the posture in which it placed Gen.
Glascock —we select him, because no one will
suspect us of being influenced to what we say by
our predilections for the man. This gentleman
believed that the abolition petitions should In
rejected tn limine. That Congress should hold
no deliberations upon them. In support of these
views, he quotes the authority of Jefferson, and
the vote of our own Baldwin and Jackson, and
he is certainly sustained by them. Up to the
time when Mr. Pinckney’s resolution was intro
duced, no one, friend or foe, had charged General
Glascock with supporting the views of the abo
litionists, or pursuing a course prejudicial to the
South. Upon the introduction of that resolu
tion, what was Glascock’s position? He was
now constrained to vote nga/nsf a resolution, the
sentiments of which, eo far as they went, he cor
dially approved, or for a resolution, the policy of
which he cordially despised. Mr. Glascock be
lieved as firmly as did Mr. Pinckney, that
<'ongresshad “ no constitutional power” to abol
ish slavery in the States, and that it would be
•“ unwise,” Ac. to abolish it in the District of
Columbia; but he believed a little more, lie
believed that these matters should not go before
a committee. He believed that the petitioners
were not entitled to this courtesy. He believed
that the first clause of the resolution was a gra
tuitous intermeddling by Congress, with a sub
ject which was not before them in any form or
shape. Now what was to do? To vote for the
resolution, was tacitly to give up what he had
been contending for, during the whole session :
to vote against it, was, in appearance, at least, to
oppose its sentiments, and to put himself under
the censure of every numscull who had not
sense enough to discover its true attitude, or eve
ry rogue cf an editor, who had not candor enough
to acknowledge it. This was reaby a beautiful
position for one Southern man to be involved in
by another! Glascock took the proper course ;
he maintained his consistency and voted against
the resolution; meaning no more thereby, than
that it was ill-timed, impolitic, and uncalled for.
YYhat was the consequence? By one of (hose
legislative shuffles. so common, and so disgrace
ful to the age, he was deprived of an opportunity
of explaining his vote, lie was then forced to
go heme, and in the form of a protest, draw out
his reasons, and al another time, lay them be
fore the House. But his vote gets a day the start
of the protest—some who saw the vote never saw
the protest—some who published the first, would
not publish the last, and consequently we have
had it from all quarters, that “ Glascock voted
against a resolution declaring, that Congress
could not constitutionally abolish slavery in
the States. Glascock voted against a resolution
declaring that it would be unwise, Ac. &c. to
abolish it in the District of Columbia. He there
fore goes for unlimited power in Congress ever the
slave population,” Ac. Ac. This is rank injus
tice, and he is indebted to Pinckney for it. Our
po/icy would be to let him die under those perse
cutions. _ He is decidedly the most puissant cp
penev.t of our party in the State, and almost om
nipotent in our country. We would gain much
ntore, therefore, by joining in the hue and cry
against hint, or by keeping silent, than by vindi
cating him; but such conduct would be base and
ignoble, and we cannot pursue it. W hat Gias
cock b.as suffered fr<~m Pinckney’s resolution,
many others have suffered. These were its first
fruits; and they were ripe and falling round Mr.
Pinckney. before the resolution fairly took root.
But we no where find Mr. Pinckney offering a
word cf condolence to his injured friends. We
do not find bom from this time forward, speaking
or acting like the associate of Southern mem
bers; but we do hear Lis intentions to move such
a resolution, announced in a Northern paper,
several days before it is introduced in Congress.
No sootier is this resolution offered, than the
Van Burenites, and the abolitionists of the
North, form on it with marvelous unanimity.—
No wonder the discussion is now to be with
drawn from before the world, to the committee
room. A Van Buren man is in the Speaker's
chair, and he is to pack a committee who will
put forth a report just to suit the aims of the lit
tle Magician. The report is to be introduced
at the heel of the session, when it will bo too
late to discuss it, (for Mr. Pinckney tells us, the
committee are to take into consideration all the
petitions now before the House, and to conic be
f/rc it, they must therefore, wait to a late hour to
see, whether all the petitions are in) or the re
port is to be soon introduced, and discussion no
un it cut short, by the previous question, or some
other legislative trick. No wonder the aboli
tionists and \ an Buren men support the resolu
tion. Nothing could have been better planned
to suit their views ; and if Mr. Pinckney did not
foresee all this, he ought to resign his seat in
Congress, on the ground of incompetency. The
gathering of the vultures shows where the car
cass lies.
“But Southern men, and State Rights men
voted for~ the resolution, as well as .Mr. Pinck
ney.'’ \ ery true ; but this does not prove that
they deem it a judicious movement. Many of
these voted upon lite .»en/Z?ne;i/s of the resolution,
supposing perhaps, that a vote against it would
bo interpreted as it has been interpreted to Glas
cock’s prejudice. But, whatever be their apolo
gy, and be they who they may, they acted most
unwisely. Taken as they were, by surprise, we
do not wonder at their vote; but whatever may
be their opinion upon it, ours remains precisely
.the same. We do not judgo of rights and
wrongs by the persons who espouse them. It
is an excellent rule for determining what inter
ests are affected by a measure, and proves most
inconfestibly that Pinckney’s measure is a grand
Van Buren measure, for his presses support it to
a type.
Mr. Pinckney tells us a calm and temperate
report from a committee, will silence the aboli
tionists, restore peace and harmony, and do won
ders. And this, he says, holding up a resolution
of the like kind, which he found buried a fathom
deep under such petitions. Does Mr. Pinckney
really believe that a report which admits the
right of Congress to abolish slavery jn the Dis
trict of Columbia, is likely to prevent the fanat
ics from begging for an exercise of that right 1—
We hardly know how to credit him when he tells
us so. I'o give him credit for candor here,would
seem like a direct impeachment of his under
standing. Have not inducements as strong as
can be urged, been already held out to our mis
guided brethren of the North, to let the delicate
subject alone ? If respect for the union, for the
Constitution, for our common interests, our an
cestors, the lives of our brethren, the safety of
our families, have not arrested them in their mad
career; does Mr. Pinckney believe that a report
from himself, Harnor, Pearce, Hareen, Jarvis,
Owens, Mtihlenburgh, Drotngoole, and Turrel,
can have that effect? Preposterous !
But we ask, is this a matter in which it be
comes the South to be offering terms of capitula
tion! Are we the offenders? Doesit comport
with the spirit which we imbibed from our fa
thers, tor us to be devising moral means, to ap
pease the self-engendered wrath of our relentless
persecutors ? Is there nothing that we must not
sacrifice, to keep peace with our Northern Brcth-
l>ut discussion was useless, and we gained
nothing. It it gained nothing, it lost nothing ;
and if it. be not the aim of Mr. Pinckney, to bring
the subject before the House, in away that, wifi
allow him and his new colleagues to control dis
cussion by rules and orders, he has not only sur
rendered a strong ground for the South, but has
" idened the hold of debate—nav, he has enkind
led feelings which will make the discussion a
thousand limes more bitter than it. has ever been.
It it be his design first to surrender the right of
Congress to abolish slaver}’ in the District, and
then to silence dispute upon this subject by legis
lative matieeuvre, he deserves the execrations of
every honest man south of the Potomac. “We
gained nothing!” What were we trying to gain?
We were resisting— resisting at the portals of the
Capitol a wanton invasion of our rights, and Mr.
Pinckney lias driven us from this post, and carri
ed the war into the committee-room, where none
can battle but the speaker’s recruits. Unsays
lie is responsible to none but bis constituents of
Charleston. If he mean that he is in the power
of no one else, he is right; but if he mean that
no one else has a right to censure his conduct or
complain of it, he is mistaken. All who are in
jured by it havea right to call him toaccount for it.
Vote on Mr. Finrkucy's Kcsolntioii.
The following statement appeared originally
in the National Intelligencer, and is un
doubtedly correct :
On motion of Mr. Vinton, and other gentle
men, the resolution was divided intoySeejseperate
propositions, the vote upon each, being taken by
yeas and nays. The first proposition was, that
all the memorials which have been, or may be
presented, praying the abolition of slavery in the
District, and also the Resolution offered by an
Hon. member from Maine, (Mr. Jarvis,) with
the amendment thereto proposed by the Hon.
member from Virginia, (Mr. Wise,) together
with every other paper or proposition, that may
be offered in relation to that subject, be referred
to a select committee.
Upon this proposition, the votes of the slave
holding States were as follows:

nays 12; (2 not voting.) North Carolina, ayes
S, nays 4; (2 not voting.) South Carolina, ayes

whole House was, ayes 171, nays 48.
Upon the second proposition, which was in
these words: “ I’hat the Committee he instruc
ted to report that Congress possesses no consti
tutional authority, to interfere in any way with
(he institution of slavery, in anj’ of the States, in
this confederacy ; the slave-holding Stales
voted as follows ;
.Maryland, ayes 7, nays none; (one not vo
ting.) Virginia, ayes IG, nays 1 ; (four not vo
ting.) North Carolina, ayes 1.2, nays 1 ; (one
not voting.) S.Carolina, ayes 3, nays 1; ( others
not voting.) Georgia, ayes 8, nays 1, (Mr. Glas
cock.) Kentucky, ayes 11 ,nays none ; (two not
voting.) Tennessee, ayes 11, nays none ; (two
not voting.) Louisiana, ayes 2, nays 1. Mis
sissippi, ayes 2, nays none. Alabama, ayes 4,
nays none; (one absent.) Missouri, ayes 2,
nays none.
Upon (he above proposition, (be slave-holding
vote was,ayes 78 —nays 3 ; (16 not voting.) The
vote of (he whole House was, ayes 201, nays 3.
The third proposition was : “ That the com
mittee be instructed to report, that Congress
ought not to interfere in any way with slavery in
the District of Columbia.”
Upon this proposition, all the slave-holding
States voted in the affirmative; the whole vote was
82, 15 not voting. The vote of the w hole House
was, ayes 133, nays 17.
'Die fourth proposition (assigning the reason
for the preceding) was in these words : “ Be
cause it would be a violation of the public faith,
unwise, impolitic and dangerous to the Union.”
Upon this branch of the Instructions, the votes
for the slave-holding states were as follows :
Maryland, ayes 5, nays none ; (three not vo
ting.) Virginia,ayes 17, nays none; (four not vo
ting.) North Carolina, ayes 11, nays none ; (two
not voting.) South Carolina, ayes 5, nays none;
(four not voting.) Georgia, ayes 8, nays none;

tive. Mississippi, ayes 1 ; (one not voting.)

affirmative. Total, ayes 77 —nays 3. 'Die vote
of the whole House was: ayes 129, nays 71.
The fifth and last division of the Resolution
went to instruct the Committee, to draft such a
Report as in their judgment would be best calcu
lated to sustain the just right of the slave-holding
States, and of the people of the District of Colum
bia, and to allay excitement, repress agitation &c.
Upon this, every slave-bolding Delegate (whose
note is recorded.) voted in the affirmative ; mak
ing between eighty and ninety. The vote of the
whole was : ayes 19G, nays 6.
False Packing of Cotton—A source of
great complaint at the present time in com
mercial and manufacture circles in this vicinity
is the false package of cotton. To a cer
tain small extent this evil has always been expe
rienced, but within the last three or four years
it has greatly increased; and during the present
year has attained a magnitude which imperative
ly demands the adoption of the most energetic
measures for its prevention. Formerly the
ground of complaint was usually confined to the
occasional discovery of a parcel of seeds, or a
stone, in the interior of a single bag or two of a
considerable lot. But now the fraud has assum
ed an infinitely more prominent shape. It is es
pecially found to prevail in cottons exported from
the Gulf of .Mexico, though it has also become
very frequent in Brazil Cottons. To such an
extent has the practice gone as regards the for
mer, that the last week, we understand, the
whole of two lots of cotton, one of 200, and the
other of 120 bags, were returned to the seller on
account of it. The instances of dissatisfaction,
trouble and dispute to which the fraud gives
rise, are almost innumerable —they aro, we ate
assured, so frequent as to justify the charge of a
wholesale and systematic plan of deception and
plunder.— [English paper.
Anecdote of Richard Ilf.—ln the town of
Leicester, Ehgland, the house ia still shown
where Richard HL passed the night before the
battle of Bosworth ; and there is a story of him,
still preserved in the corporation records, which
illustrates the caution and darkness of that
prince’s character. It was his custom to carry,
among the baggage of his camp, a cumbersome
wooden bed, which he pretended was the only
bed he could sleep in. Here he contrived a se
cret receptacle for his treasure, which lay con
cealed under a weight of timber. After the fa
tal day on which Richard fell, the earl of Rich
mond entered Leicester with hist victorious
troops; the friends of Richard were pillaged, but
the bed was neglected by every plunderer as
useless lumber. The owner of the house after
wards discovering the hoard, became suddenly
rich, without any visible cause, lie bought,
lands, and at length arrived at the dignity of be
ing mayor of Leicester. Many years afterwards,
bis widow, who had been left in great affluence
was murdered for her wealth by her servant maid,
who had been privy to the affair; ami at the tri
al of this woman and her accomplices, the whole
transaction carne to light.
The floor of the Methodist Chapel in Man

Letter written by Napoleon Bonaparte.—
The following is an extract of a letter, which
was written by him, in 1797, when about to de
part for Egypt, to a young American, with
whom he had previously formed an acquaintance,
and who was soon to leave France for the Uni
ted States. The letter, which was published as
authentic in the newspapers of that period, is cu
rious, as exhibiting his ideas of that period, is
curious, as exhibiting his ideas of the United
States at that time :
“ You soon depart for tLe Western, and I for
the Eastern Hemisphere. A new career of ac
tion is now opened before me, and I hope to
unite my name with new and great events ; and
with the unrivalled greatness of the republic;
you go to unite yourself once more with a peo
ple among whom [ behold at once the simple
manners of the first ages of Rome, and the luxu
ry ot her decline; where 1 see the taste,the sen
sibility of Athens, with her factions, and the val
or of Sparta without her discipline.
“ As a citizen of the world, I would address
your country in the following language. Every
man and every nation is ambitious, and ambition
grows with the power, as the blaze of a vertical
sun is the most fierce. Cherish therefore, a na
tional strength—strengthen your political institu
tions—remember that armies and navies are of
the same use in the world as the Police in Lon
don or Paris, and soldiers are not made like pot
ter s vessels, in a minute—-cultivate union, or
your empire will be like a colossus of gold fall
en on the earth, broken in pieces, and the prey of
foreign or domestic Saracens. If you are wise,
your republic will be permanent—and perhaps
Washington will be hailed as the founder of a
glorious and happy empire, when the name of
Bonaparte shall be obscured by sueceedino-revo
lutions.” °

Ihe Present.—ln order to enjoy the present,
it is necessary to be intent on the present. To
be doing one thing, and thinking of another, is a
very unsatisfactory mode of spending life. Some
people are always wishing themselves some
where but where they aie, or thinking of some
thing else than what they are speaking. This
is the way to enjoy nothing : to do nothmo- well,
and to please nobody. It is better to be interest
ed with inferior persons, ami inferior Ihiims,
than to be indifferent with the best. A principal
cause of this indifference is the adoption of oth
er people’s tastes instead of the cultivation of
our own ; the pursuit after that for which we
are not fitted, and to which, consequently, we
are not in reality inclined. This folly pervades,
more or less, all classes, and arises from the
error of building our enjoyment on the false
foundation of the world’s opinion, instead of be
ing, with due regard to others, each our own
world.

A conviction that the means of information arc not com
mensurate with the wants and wishes of the people, con
nected with the growing importance of our town, has ori
ginated with us the idea of establishing in Coliinibns., n
new weekly paper, to be entitled The Rei’UßUcan
Herald—to be devoted Io Politics, Literature, and
General Intelligence.
We will endeavor to make the Herald profitable and
interestii g, by keeping its render-" informed ot all im
portant political movements, both foreign and domestic.
Devoted to the union of the Stales, we shall advocate
w’ith becoming zeal mid firmness those great mid glo
rious principles by which wo believe it is to be perpet
uated. We look upon tho Government that was es
tablished by the toil, and sacrifice, and blood, of our
fathers, as upon the mother who gave us birth—with
teverence and love. It is a holy thing; anil we will
love and support it as long ns we continue to love anil
respect ourselves.
In yielding our support to the Union party of Geor
gia, however, wc slinll not, under any circumstances suf
fer ourselves to be swayed by selfish or interested mo
tives—we shall adiiere to and support our principles,
even nt the sac.riiice of personal friendships mid predi
lections.
We shall conscientiously mid strenuously oppose
every measure, which wc may deem calculated to sub
vert the liberties of the people or destroy tho union of
the States.
That the people arc capable of self-government, hns
been demonstrated, mid no longer admits of a doubt—
that cabalistic nids nrc unnecessary, follows as n co
rollary. While, therefore, wc sustain the fundamental
principles of the Union Party, we shall feel it our du
ty on all occasions to oppose the supreme dictation of
tho few to the many.
Our columns shall be open to the free anil temper
ate discussion of all such subjects us are calculated to
interest mi intelligent community—whether they be of
a political, literary, religious or commercial character.
As caterers for the public taste, wc shall introduce
into the columns of the Herald, as great mi amount
of miscellaneous and general reading as mny bo con
sistent with its political and commercial character—
not forgetting to invoke the muses in support of ’The
Poets’ Corner.’
The Herald will also sustain the Agricultural mid
Commercial interests of the country, and will publish
a regular mid correct Price Current of till leading ar
ticles of produce and consumption.
