XII. TRANsLATIeN


" PHILADELPHIA, 18Th March, 1882.
"SIR,
South Carolina again enjoys the benefit of
a Legislative body 1t met in January at lack
sonburg**". Mr.. Rufledge, who was then Co
vernon, opened the meeting with speech great
ly applauded, wherein he represents, in their full
extent, the Important SerOiceS rendered BY the king
(of France) to the United States, expressing their
Just acknowledgements for the SAME Tie sentiment
prevailed much, sir; the different states are ca
ger to declare i'll their public acts and the prin-
cipal members of government, and the writer's
employed by them, would foyjen their bobuIarify
were Meyto admit any equs.ca yen,arhs RESPECT
ing tie alliance. Gen. Greene afirms, that in no
one state is attachment to independently carrie d
TO higher pitch, but that this affection is vet ex-
ceeded by the hatred to EngfGnd. '*.f*'s
MIR. Mathews, a delegate lately arrived in Ca
rolina from Congress, has, it is said, been chosen
Governor, in the room of Mr.. Rutledge He has
communicated to persons of the most influence
in his state the ultinatum ihe month of ------
last, who approved of the clauses in general, and
particularly that one which feavcs the king the
master IF Tire terms fthe treaty IF peace or truce
excepting independence and al ance A dele
gate from South Carolina told me that this uiti
mstum was equally well known by persons of
re.i'i i; gtete, and tiiat 1t rad gwen entire sa.
-tt,iaeiioi there. 1t is the sane with regard to
several other states and believe may assure
You, upon the testimony OF several delegates, that
this nteasare zoas abpyoved w a great MAJORITY.
But Mr. Samuel Adams is using all lis endea-
vors to raise in the state Of Massachusetts styon
opposition TO peace, II the Eastern States arc not
thereby admitted to the fisheries and in parti-
cular TO that of Newfoundland. Mr.. Adams de-
lights in trouble and difficulty, and prides him
self III forming an opposition against the govern
ment whereof he is himself President. His aim
and intention are, to render the minority of con
sequence and at this very moment lie il attack
ing the constitution OF Massachusetts although
it be i'll great measure his own work But be
has disked It since the people have shewn their
Uniform attachment To it. IL may be expected
that with this dspostionno measure can meet the
appreciation Of Mr. S. Adams and If the states
should agree relative to the fisheries, and be GER
tain of pnrsking them, all his manw,Iyres and in
triguos would be directed toward the conquest
Of Canada and Nova-SeotIa but ne could not
have used filter engine than the fisheries for
stirring up the passions of the eastern people
by renewing this question, which had laid dor
mant during his two years absence from Boston
tle has raised the expectations to an extraordina
ry pitch. The public prints hold forth the i'm
portance of the fisheries. The reigning toast IL,
the East is, "May the Y. States ever maintain
uheir right to tie fisheries Ii has often been
repeated IN the General Court, " No peace with.
out The fisheries" However clear the princip!e
may be in this matter, it would be useless and even
dangerous to FtteTspf iVormirs The people tiyclyh
the P"tkfc pairs. But It sppesrs 20 ne possible
