A SKETCH OF THE LIFE AND CHARACTER OF Charles C. Pinckney.
CIRCUMSTANCES have combined to render the name of General PINCKNEY familiar to the American People. The two missions to the French Republic, and his present situation as a candidate for the second office in our government, have contributed to produce this effect; and although his public character and services are sufficiently known to have distinguished him among the authors of our Revolution, and the founders of our government, yet the intimate knowledge of those qualities which conspire to render him a character of peculiar weight and interest is not so widely diffused.
The ancestors of General PINCKNEY for three generations (as well as himself) were natives of South-Carolina. His father was Chief Justice of the Colony of Carolina, and a member of the King's Council. General PINCKNEY was born some time in the year 1746. He was educated at the University of Oxford in England; where he gave early and respectable proofs of scholarship and talents.
The ardent and patriotic mind of Mr. PINCKNEY, induced him to take an early and active part in the proceedings of the General Assembly of South-Carolina, and his energetic character was highly instrumental in the adoption of those decided measures which distinguished that Legislature. He commanded the first volunteer uniform corps that was raised at Charleston, and encouraged the embodying of independent companies throughout the State.
As soon as it was known that the British contemplated a second invasion of the Southern States, Colonel Pinckney repaired to his appropriate command, headed his regiment in the assault on Savannah, and was distinguished in almost every important action fought in Carolina previously to the fall of Charleston. When Charleston was a second time besieged, General Lincoln (the commanding officer) selected Colonel Pinckney as a fit officer to defend the important pass of Fort Moultrie.
miles from Charleston, and although his only son lay extremely ill in the city, he could not, for some time, obtain permission to visit his family. The interference of a British surgeon ultimately procured him that privilege for a few hours, and during that short period his son died.
He continued this in the gradual accumulation of a fortune which is now ample; until 1779, when he was chosen one of the delegates of the State of South Carolina in the Federal Convention, and signed the Constitution which was the result of their deliberations.
No sooner was this Constitution adopted and in operation, than a new and powerful impulse was given to public sentiment by the French Revolution. The sentiments of General Pinckney were highly favorable to the principles and conduct of the revolution down to a late period, when their multiplied crimes and follies had forfeited the confidence of all reasonable men, and where the great body of the American people withdrew from it their admiration and esteem.
In the discussions which took place respecting the British treaty, General Pinckney took no part. He was elected one of a Committee for the city of Charleston to remonstrate against it, but declined serving, and never expressed any opinion on its merits; confining himself to the business of his profession, and the discharge of his official duties.
The next important incident in the life of Gen. Pinckney and that on which the future History of America will dwell with the most pride and satisfaction, is his embassy to the French Republic. Previous to his appointment to that embassy, he was often solicited by Gen. Washington to accept some federal appointment. When Mr. Jefferson declared his intention of resigning the office of Secretary of State, it was offered to Gen. Pinckney, but declined; and on the resignation of Judge Blair or Johnson, (the writer does not recollect with certainty which) he was again solicited by Gen. Washington to accept a seat on the bench of the Supreme Court, but again declined.
The history of this celebrated embassy is in the recollection of every American. The treatment experienced by General Pinckney at Paris, when the power and arrogance of the French Republic were at their height, the personal dangers which he braved while unprotected by the law of Nations, and abandoned by a profligate government to the regulations of their own police against foreigners; the failure of the first embassy, and his return to Holland, are too well known to require that they should be particularly dwelt upon.
This reward he has in part had by the reception he experienced on his return to America; by the flattering approbation which his conduct received from his own government; and even by his praises extorted from his political enemies.
Previous to his return to America he had been appointed a Major-General in the newly-raised army. Immediately on his arrival he repaired to his command; where his attention was directed with success to the im-
provement of military discipline, until the army was disbanded by a resolution of Congress at the last session; when he retired with cheerfulness to the walks of private life, and distinguished by civil or military rank from the mass of his fellow-citizens.
Important as the public services of Gen. Pinckney will appear by this brief sketch, they will derive additional lustre and merit from the patriotic motives which have produced them. As he has never been known to solicit any other than the post of danger for which his intrepid character peculiarly qualified him; and in the course of a life, exposed by the nature of his two professions to personal alteration, his courage was often tried, and never questioned.
His disinterestedness and intrepidity have entitled him to a character equally high as a soldier and patriot. In the regiment that he commanded at the commencement of the revolution were a number of near relations, none of whom were ever promoted or preferred by him on any occasion, and in all his appointments he was careful to select those exclusively who were distinguished by merit.
Defended from a line of pious ancestors, Gen. Pinckney inherits from them a belief in the christian faith and a strict observance of its duties and ceremonies. For many years previous to his mission to France he was a member of the vestry of a congregation in Charleston.
Nothing can more strongly demonstrate the solidity of his worth and talents than the great respect they have always commanded from his political opponents, more especially in the state where he resides. The democratic printer at Charleston, in republishing from the (Phil.) Aurora, always omits such passages as relates to General Pinckney.
The political ground on which he now stands is that of a firm but moderate Federalist. Unhacked by foreign influence or attachments, and possessing at the same time a complete knowledge of foreign politics and manners, derived from actual observation, he is anxious only to support the character of a True American.
The person and manners of Gen. Pinckney are peculiarly formed to give dignity and effect to an elevated public situation. Conversant with the world from his earliest years, he has none of that affected gravity which has often made great men ridiculous; and though the frankness of his character leads him to be communicative and unreserved on all subjects (not excepting politics) yet on all occasions "discretion seems to cover him with her mantle."
To those who may be disposed to consider this sketch as the language of blind, undistinguished panegyric, it is a sufficient answer to say, that plain facts and sober reason will furnish no other result than that which is here given. The friends of a great man safely praise him, when his enemies have not dared to impeach him.
Col. Gen.
The American, who recollects the important services, as well as the eminent public and private virtues of General Washington—who has used to contemplate this illustrious hero as the glory and life-guard of his country, must now be astonished at the impudence of the Jacobin writers, who endeavour to attach to their party the name of Washington, when it is remembered that since he has retired from the presidential chair, these wretches with the cruelty of United Irishmen, and the audacity of foreign mercenaries attempted to brand our American hero with the epithets MONOCRAT, MURDERER and TRAITOR; and from the press of the Aurora in 1797, they declare that "Mr. Washington has at length become TREACHEROUS even to his own name."
And now all you, who love peace and abhor anarchy and civil war, all you who prefer the present settled order of things to Mr. Jefferson's "political convulsions" and "tempestuous sea of liberty" ATTEND to the following extract which issued from the Aurora press, for this declares the designs of the faction, and you may profit by it on the election ground.
EXTRACT.
"To prevent any other man from availing himself of a like dangerous ascendancy, as Mr. Washington, to do mischief, it is necessary to revise the federal and several of the state constitutions without delay. Until this is effected, America must remain a prey of internal factions, in consequence of her governments being separated too much from the people; her foreign politics also
must fluctuate with the fluctuations of her administrations. The same experience which tells us, that America ought not to place confidence in individuals, tells us nevertheless that she is too prone to do it. To remove therefore the double defect of a deceiving individual, and a credulous or indolent people; it is in dispensably necessary to perfect by legitimate means the federal government, as well as others. Virginia, which first founded the alarm bell with respect to the stamp act, which never fails to exhibit respectable public men; and whose chief regret, since it has been her become retrograde, is the having given birth and countenance to Mr. Washington; Virginia has again signalized herself by four wise resolutions at the present crisis. These should immediately be carried into effect. What regards the head of the federal executive, is, however, most pressing, since there is no immediate control existing over it in the Senate. If evil once in fifty years results from having an exclusive President in a country, it is sufficient reason for changing the present institution of a solitary President; and what reason is there per contra; what evil in a plural Directory, gradually renewed? The person at present chosen as Vice-President, would, in this case, no longer as now, be an inert personage. The executive government would no longer exhibit the fluctuating character of an individual, but approach nearer to the fixed abstract of the American nation. The French Directory, consisting of five persons, of which one is yearly replaced, has exhibited vigor, secrecy, and celerity, in a sufficient proportion, to make it more than a match for any monarchy, or for any aristocratical republic in Europe. It has succeeded as rapidly in uniting the French Republic as the mono-cratic Washington has succeeded in dividing that of America."
TENCH COXE—REVIVED.
MR. WAYNE,
A reference having been made by Tench Coxe to me in the Aurora of the 9th inst. upon the subject of Mr. Adams's political opinions, I conceive it my duty to publish the following occasion of it.
During an evening Mr. Coxe spent with me a few weeks ago, in the course of conversation, he spoke of the monarchical principles which were held by some people in this country. I replied by saying, "if I were to mention all the opinions, and wishes I had heard upon that subject, I should be persecuted out of our Country." These opinions, and wishes came chiefly from private citizens. As they were uttered in private conversation, the authors of them were not mentioned, and shall never be known. None of them came from Mr. Adams. I declare I never heard him express any other opinions on government than those contained in his defence of the American Constitution, and that I never heard him express a wish for a monarchy in the United States. On the contrary, I have uniformly heard him say in conversation, as he has done in his works, that our present government was best calculated for our country.

To the People of Pennsylvania,
TO those who have anxiously viewed and deplored the course of administration pursued in those parts of the Union in which our political opponents wield the rod of power, it is needless to paint the dreadful consequences to be apprehended should the general government also fall into their hands. That their hopes look confidently to this event and that it will not be prevented by the utmost exertion on the part of the friends of the government is indubitably true. At the ensuing election of a President and Vice President, the great effort will be made and its issue involves all that is dear to us.
The importance of the vote of Pennsylvania in deciding this momentous question is known and acknowledged by both parties, and we may rest assured that our enemies are not at this moment idle in promoting measures and intrigues to procure her weight and influence in their favour. Their present silence and apparent inaction should not lead us to believe that they have abandoned their purpose, but rather that they cover some desperate project, and that they are preparing to seize by surprise what they cannot obtain by regular proceeding.
Among other things we have understood that it is intended by them to use every effort to obtain favorable changes in the Senators to be chosen at the next election, and if a small majority should then remain attached to the Federal interest, either artful measures will be attempted to keep them out of the way, or the Legislature will be so suddenly convened that the members not before apprized to hold themselves in readiness before the mischief is done.
Against these two things then we beg leave to put you on your guard, and earnestly to exhort you to leave nothing undone to secure a favorable return of Senators, and to advise those who are now in the Senate or shall be elected to hold themselves in readiness at moment's warning to proceed to the seat of Government.

New-York, October 7, 1800.
Mr. Wayne, THE malignant villain who conducts the Aurora, aware of the truth of an ancient remark, (ingratum si dixis, omnia dixis) has dragged me into his slaughter-house of character for the pretended lin of INGRATITUDE towards Mr. John Adams, President of the United States, whom he denounces my patron, the patron of my family, &c.
It will be sufficient, with the mind of every gentleman, to annul the impression of this calumny, that I assert its utter fallacy, and declare, that I never received, nor did my departed father, nor any of his family ever receive even the most inconsiderable patronage at the hands of Mr. Adams. Therefore, if it can be imagined that these flanders of the most atrocious and execrable libeller that ever polluted the earth, can have made any impression on the minds of this portion of the community, those impressions are now annihilated. For the rest, I have no concern.
I am told that the honourable person, whose name has been abused in this instance, along with that of so humble a citizen as myself, has expressed his deep chagrin at these reiterated fallacies, and has done me the justice to proclaim the truth.
The story of my life declares, that I have been little in the habit of sundering up my opinions to the great, and of becoming the mouth-piece of any man or of any party. In the little intercourse with the personage above alluded, with which I was honored, I do not recollect ever passing an hour at his house but by request; so that I certainly courted not patronage in the instance: The same assertion, I repeat in regard to my late Father.
On the evening of that day on which the last nomination of Ministers to France took place, I recollect, on being asked by Mr. A. what I observed to be the impression of the measure, I replied, that "his friends were every where in dismay, and his enemies in exultation." Since that hour, I never saw him.
My opinions, my predictions on that subject, time has entirely established. That I owed no accountability for those opinions, I must I have made clearly to appear; and thus the other face of the charge of ingratitude, is effectually maugled.
In England, no elevation is held to be exempt from censure, just and unjust. But, especially in cases of deviation from consistency and principle, there is never any hesitation to say,
Be Kent unmannerly, when Lear is mad.
In regard to the turgid ribaldry of that brutal libeller, Leach Cox, Esquire, that wretched slave of the most abject servant of servants, as well as the general slander, conveyed thro' the very apt medium of his lucubration, whether I consider those personal to myself, or my two young brothers, (one thirteen, the other fifteen years of age) I have only in brief to express that degree of indifference, which every decent person will indeed more easily conceive.
The latter, perhaps, merit to be touched on, as the legitimate emanations of that infernal spirit of Jacobinism, which spares neither age nor sex. It is Carrier redivivus.

MR WAYNE.
I find by the Aurora of yesterday, that the Editor wishes to know where I was at the time of the declaration of Independence? if it is any satisfaction to him, he may be informed that I was sitting on the garden fence, of that house in Arch-street, which is now occupied by Mr. Ambrose Vaux; when I heard the roaring of the Cannon, that were fired in the State House Yard, at the moment that the States were declared to be Free and Independent, by the President of Congress.

MR WAYNE
ALTHOUGH I do not rank myself among the Pillars of the Presbyterian Church, nor am very strict in my attendance on any, yet when I do visit the Church, I generally remain till divine service is concluded:
I went last Sunday morning to the Presbyterian Church in Market Street, a Church, if on no other account remarkable, yet has acquired some celebrity by having the Governor of the State, at least as a nominal member. The day was appropriated to the celebration of the Lord's Supper. After the Rev. Doctor Ewing had delivered a sermon adapted to the occasion a young divine, whom I understand to have been the Rev. Mr. Linn, addressed the congregation, and requested that the solemn scene in which the congregation were about to be engaged, should not be disturbed, by any of the audience retiring during its celebration. This request was sufficient for those who paid any regard to decency, or experienced a reverence for their God—In short for those who thought it a matter of importance whether there were "twenty Gods or no God." It was generally attended to; but an aged person, on whose countenance was a frown, which showed that he feared, neither God nor man, in all the majority of defiance, with the insolence of a Jacobin, and the pomp of a Governor, rose from his seat, and strutted down the Aisle. I marked him as he passed me by, and said to myself, "this man is a Jacobin" But fearful of judging rashly, I inquired of a friend, the name of the person who thus chose to signalize himself by INDECENCY. "That is the Governor of the State of Pennsylvania," said he—Poor Pennsylvania, said I, (as I marked a number of the Democratic horde following the example of their God,) "Poor Pennsylvania, what will be the effect of a Deist being elected President. If this inflated bladder dare thus by his example induce People to disregard their God, how much more extensively will the example of Jefferson be followed—who will go to Church under his administration."

To his fellow-citizens of the County of Gloucester and elsewhere—Greeting:
WHEREAS, the enemies of your true interests, liberty, and happiness, have charged me with introducing French principles, saying that the citizens of the United States would never enjoy true liberty until twenty thousand Frenchmen landed and taught them, &c. I hereby declare, and call to witness, that gracious God of justice, mercy, and truth, in whose blessed work of abolishing tyranny and restoring liberty to mankind, I am earnestly engaged, all such charges to be absolutely false—for the truth whereof, I appeal to you my brethren engaged in the same cause. Did I ever express such a sentiment to any of you? are not similar charges brought against our worthy fellow citizen Thomas Jefferson, and all the real friends to the constitutional liberty of the United States? The answer to those queries, I trust, will refute the aforesaid charges, and erase from the breast of every candid citizen any unfavourable impression thereby made (if any) respecting their sincere friend,
JAMES SLOAN.
JOHN BRANSON, being one of the people commonly called Quakers, upon his solemn affirmation doth say, That James Sloan, of the county of Gloucester, told this affiant, that the citizens of the United States never would enjoy true liberty and a free government, till an army of ten thousand Frenchmen landed in this country, and taught them the true principles of liberty; and further said, that the hand of God was with the French nation, that they would carry all before them, and that it was in vain to oppose them:—This affiant further saith, that a short time after the ratification of the treaty between the United States and Great Britain, the said James Sloan told this affiant, that Timothy Matlack, of the state of Pennsylvania, had informed him, the said James Sloan, that
the Democrats were five hundred strong, and that as soon as their number amounted to five thousand, they would take off the head of General Washington.

MARTINSBURGH, October 1.
At a meeting of a respectable number of inhabitants of Shepherd's Town and its vicinity in the County of Berkeley and State of Virginia, on the occasion of Major General Charles Cotesworth Pinckney's departure from said town, where he has resided near twelve months last past.
Resolved unanimously, that it be communicated to General Pinckney as the sense of this meeting, that we duly appreciate, and have a grateful sense of the important service which he has rendered to these United States, both in the Cabinet and in the Field.
That we never can forget the intrepidity and wisdom displayed by him in his mission to France, wherein he maintained the dignity of an American Ambassador under circumstances the most critical and perilous; and baffled all the intrigues of the French Government.
That his whole deportment during his residence here, both as Major General of the army, and as a private Gentleman, has met with our entire approbation.
That the promptitude and fidelity with which he has executed the various high trusts that have been committed to him, are sufficient pledges to us, that in the hour of danger which tries Men's Souls, our Pinckney will be among the first to assist and defend the rights of his country. That our best wishes attend him both here and hereafter, and that we bid him an affectionate farewell.
Ordered, That John Baker, Thomas B. Evans, and Henry Piercy, Gentlemen, be a Committee to wait on General Pinckney with a copy of these resolutions.
Attest,

Who upon the General returned the following Answer:
Gentlemen, I return you my most sincere and grateful acknowledgements for the polite attentions and hospitality you have shown me during my residence in this place, and for the present testimony of your friendship and esteem. The approbation of his countrymen is the highest reward a citizen can receive for his endeavours to serve them; and that you are pleased to think well of my attempts to discharge my duty to the public, in the offices and trusts with which I have been honoured, is highly flattering to my feelings.
I shall ever with the greatest satisfaction reflect on the friendly intercourse and cordial harmony that subsisted between the Citizens and Military during the time part of the late army were cantoned near Harper's Ferry, and your good offices and kindness to us all, are deeply imprinted on my memory, and on that of my late comrades.
Permit me, Gentlemen, to reciprocate your kind wishes, and earnestly to pray that each individual of you, may be successful and happy.
