pARAGoNs OF CONSISTENCY!


PARAGONS OF CONSISTENCY
When We look al the materials of which the
Notification party of South Carolina IS composed
We are startled al the holiness Of tnclr apostacy
from their former openly avovet and solcnny re-
corded opinions, less than at the unblushng cf-
frontery with which they oIalm Tor their present
sentiments the character of mia. Iblc truth. Whcn
We fecolIeot that Calhoun, MeDulfc, iIayne, Ham
ll,on plnekney, &c. &c. &c 10 tie end oithe chap
ter were, no, ten years aga, the jealous advocates
OF that stem of national pobey, tic destruction Of
which They pr,lend to regard as Of more I'M
pprtance than the preservation Of the Un'on-and,
still farther when we remember a"ir former bit
erness of opposition 10 what, from IDS 20 this
time, have Leu regarded by the OH Viz. mia school
o. politicians, truly STATE Rishts aud The burn.
Ing sarcasnls and biting sneers which THEY were
won, to employ in speaking of the " stralt-laccd
notions ofthat school, we are almost tempted to
believe in the doctrine OF the transmisrution o.
sonls-We, at least, stronger confirm on
Of the truth aud more VIVID impression of thr
meaning Of lhat adase, which tells US that one
Renegade is worse tban ten Turks"
We have heretofore, by extracts from the speech
es and essays of several OF the above named gen
tcmcn shown the rastneSs Of their somerset-sur-
passing, IN magnitude and extent, any similar feat
Of " yauting ambition, in the whole annals Of po-
tical aposlacy, buck and odious rs is the record
But We have recently become possessed Of ano.her
evidence of II, which places the subject in such a
strong and overwhelming point of view, that we
cannot d cne noticing it, for the ben fl Of tyros in
the political World, who may not yet have been flu
y indicted into the arts of those a6ie politicians,
who 10 day swear that white is black, ard tonor
row that black Is white just as aspiring ambition
Or defeated hopes may dictate.
Among the most conspicuous of the Nullirycrs
OF South Cofolina is HENRY Z. PINCKNNY
a descendant Of the old Federal family Of Pinck-
neys OF that State, which go warmly sustained

On the late Anniversary Of American mder,n-
dencc, MIR. Pinokney delivered tan Osaton in
Charleston, IN who he denounced, with his usual
bitterness, the Tariff and Internal improvements
and extoed, with has asual warmth, the conserva-
tive remedy Of State veto-otlcrwisc calle, Nul

Mr. Plnckney delivered an Grafton in Dccct-,cr.
1928, at whichtme his IDOL, Mr. Calhoun was a
prominent aspiraut for the Presidency, and when
lie MAS also advocate of the ttr' and of Internal
improvements This speech has recently been
brought to light, md array ed in opposition to his
ate Grafton. 1t see, By extracts from Mr.
PmeIaeys of'ilon OF 1925, less than eight years
ago what Ia tiea thought of the policy Of pro,cc
ing manufactures an of prosecuting internal i'm
proycmcnts by the general government:
Nor while th,s advancing in forcien com
mercc, have We been nattantiyc 10 DOMESTIC MAN

tural advantages During the privatiol of the en-
bHgo, amerlca was first admnnished to ,renUc

before the explr1lion OF quarter of century, she
not only proudly boasts her independence of In.
rope IN every article of prime necessity but can
sustain comparison with England herself in the
beauty and delicacy of her fabrics The amour,
of capital invested IN this branch of industry is
prodtSlous, and increasing ond the perioI appears
TO be rapidly approaching when the CONSUMPTION
OF our sreatest staple will equal, and perhaps ex-
coed It's ioreiSn Importation. Ia regard to lNrrR-
SAL IMPROVEMENTS, The PRIDE ANIL ORNAMENT o(

Here then, We might pause, fully satisfied
with the efficacy OF the p,incpcs which have ul
