A SKKTGH
OF THE
LIFE AND CHARACTER
Cfiarles C. Pinckney.
GIRGUiVI.STANCES have Combined
to render the name of G- neral PiNCKntr
familiar to the American People.—The two
hiiffions to the Fiench Republic) and his
prei'ent fituatiott as a candidate for the fc
cond office in our government, have 'contribu
ted to produce this eltect ; and although his
public charaiter and services are fufficiently
knbyrn to have di:'Unguilhed him among the
authors of our Revolution, and the founders
•f our government, yet the intimate know,
ledge of thai; qualities which Cdnfpire to
render him a chara&er of peculiar weight
and i ntereft is not lo widely diifuled l It is
of importance that this inform itiou fliould
be polTt-ffed by every description of citizens,
and that their minds Ihould be engaged in
a close examination of the leading features
ot the charafWr and the principal in
cidents in the life <.fa citizen who is offered
to th-m as a candidate for a high and refpon
lible trutt. The writer of this article is
encouraged by the hope of furnitli-ng fortje
materials for this examination. Fa£ls (hall
be given as they have come jo the k inwlrd e
of the writer ; wlio will r.ot (hrink from the
support of one of them, if called in (jUcftion.
This drift adherence <0 faft, is rendered
more necelTary hy the difpolition so general
ly prevalent ro undermine and deflroy great
reputations • to canfound tbt claims of
private viitue and moral excellence, in the
rasje of party ; —and to determine all merit
by the arbitrary and flu&uating standard of
political o'inion. Happily tor the dilfin
guiffied ciiarii£\er who is the fubjeft of this
article, he has hitherto ferfiired an exemp
tion from base olumnies and imputed crimes,
11 by a life d-voted to honorable pursuits,"
and marled in every toge by utifhaken retti
tude.
The a net dors nf G*ne-»l Pr*cxynr for
three (mi well as bimf It - ) were
ttattves.of-<S'aM(/i.'.a'o'in.7. Hit father was
Chief Juttict of th- G .lo: y of Ci olina, and
a member of the Kind's Council. General
PiNCKXsr was b >rr» fnne time in the year
1746. Hr vva3 fducated at the Univerl'ity
ot Oxford in Em:l.ind;—where lie gave e irly
and' refpeclable pra-ifj of fchoUrfhip and
talents. After fin'dun* his cliffical edu
cation, he commtneed, and prtifrcutcd tie
study of tile law at the Temple. He then
pcfled a yeirat the Univeifity of /Infers,
in F> inee, and ni ide the tour of Eurnpe be
fore his return to his native State. The
great length of time which lie had fpenvift
accor'pl.fhing nimfelfas a scholar, a'id law
yer, at the firft feminities of Europe, ex-l-
bled hnn t<r commence the pradVice of Uw at
the b*r of Soutb-Ciro'.in.i with univ, rfV»l
eclat. With iiulultry equal to his talrntl,
his reput-:\cn and emolument* c inti'iiied to
i tic re* G? tiV.I the commencement of the re
volutionary cOiiteft.
Tlie arj.-nt and patriotic mind of Mr,
PixCKVtr, induci J him to take an early and
aftive pare iti the proceedings of the Gei)f-
V;tl Aflembly rf South-Carolina, and his ener
getic character was highly inftruntental in
thr' adoption of ti ofe decided meafurrj
vrh'ch diftinguilhed thst Legislature. He
eommanded the fir ft volunteer uniform
corps that was raifi-d at Charleston, and en
couraged the embedying of independent com
panies throughout the Staie. When these
jneafures resulted loon after in aftuai boflil
ity, Mr. Pinp.kntj rras appiinted a Major
in the fir ft State Regiment, of which the
present General Gadsden wa-s Colonel Com
mandant, He was (hortly after promoted
to the command of the firft regiment. Af
ter the defeat at Fort Moultrie, in 1776, of
the Britilh fleet under Sir Peter Parker, and
of the army commanded by S r Henry Clinton,
the projeft of making an efT-ftive impression
in the south Kemed to have been abandoned,
and Colonel P.ncitney believing that quirter
vrrull not very lliortly be the theatre of war,
solicited General Washington's permission to
leave hit regiment, and repair wherever there
uiould he most si t vice to be seen and per
formed. He was defirrd to join the Gene
ral's family, and ifted for some time as his
Aid-de-Camp. He was in that chara&erat
the battles of Brandyvine and Germanttmn.
As soon as it was known that the Britifli
contemplated a second invasion of the Sou
thern States, Colonel P-nclr.ty repaired to his
appropriate command, headed his regiment
in the aflault o»i Savannah, and was diftin-
Euiftied in almost every important aflion
fought in Carolina previously to the fall of
Charleflon. When t.har/c/lon was a fecosd
time befiegfd, Ge«eral Lincoln (the com
manding officer) fde&ed Colonel Pincinry
at a fit officer to defend the important pass
of Fort Mcultric- The surrender of Charlef
lon gtve him a prisoner to the British His
ardor and zeal in the cause of independence
had already madt him peculiarly obnoxious
to them. Their relentment was however
sharpened by a new provocaticn { Find
ing that the Britilh were endeavouring to
raise among the prifoncrs a regiment to
/end to the IVcJI Indies by rigorous ulage in
tbeir confinement, he vifi'ed the abodes of
misery filled with hi* captivefellow-foldiers,i
cheered their defpondenre, and difluaded
them from enlisting in the Britilh frrvice,
by afiurances of fperdy relief. The Biitifh
on the difcovtry of this measure cauls d Co
lencl Pinckney to b; closely cor.si cd about 6
I
milej from ChatlejloH, an 4 alWifitlgV Vils only 1
son lay extremely M in the c ty, he ciduW Ont, j
for folne time, obtain periti'flion to Visit
is family. The interference of a British
furge® i ultimately procured htm that pri
vilege for a few hours, and during that ftort
period his fen died. He ifras not perm itted
o remain until his interment. but remanded
to hu place of confinement immediately,
and was npt afterwards exchanged until
near thfe clofi of the war TJie vinditlive
spirit of the BritiiV» did 'ot stop here :
! hey laid waste his beautiful farm neat
Cha Ifjl n, and Urrttali the buildings on it.
At the retUrti of peace, with a fortune en
tirely broken down by the ftorrtl of war, he
Was obliged again to have recourse to the
profrffion of law for a fabliltetice, and very
shortly (tood at the headofthatprofeffion, un
rivalled in taltnts, and Unsurpassed it) pro
feffional rectitude.
He continued thiis in the gradual accu
mulation of a fortune which is now ample,
until 17 5, when he was chosen one of the
delegates of the State of South Carolina in
the Federal Convention, and (tgned the COll
- which was the rcfult of their deli
berations"
No sooner was this Constitution adopted
and in operation, than a new and powerful
irrpulfe was given 10 public ientiment by
the French Revolution. The fsntimentS ot
General Pinclnry were highly favorable to
the p-inciplcs and condutft ot the revolution
down to i late period, wheu their multiplied
crimes and follies had forfaited the confi
dence of all reafonabU men, and where the
great body of the American people with
drew f'om it their admiration and eftecm^
In 1794 he was appointed Major Gen.
and commander in Chief of -the militia of
South Carolina, and by great activity and
atte' tion very soon placed them on a ref
pedable footing. At the time of his ap-'
poititment there were but four troops of
uniformed horse in the State, and when he
left his commaud, in conftquence of his ap.
pointment in the national army, the caval
ry amounted to 2 00 i'i complete uniform.
On alt feafotiablc occaliaia he has unequi
vocally 'cxpreflVd his opinion that the Mili
tia is the natural and efficient defence of
this cou try and j* the legislature of Sou:h
Caro im contributed much to the formation
and adoption of the present militia law of
chat State.
In the which to6k place re
fpefling the 81 itifh treaty, General l J .n k
ney t..ok no part. He was elrfted one of a
Committee for the city of Carleston to re
moiiflrate> againlf ir, but declinrd fervjn l ,
and never rxprt-ITcd any opinion on its me
rits ; confining hirofdf to the bufrnefs of his
pioteffion, and the di(charge of his official
dutes.
The next important incid nt in the lift
of Gen PincLnry and that on whuh the fu
ture H'flora of America will dwell with
the molt pride a-id fllisfatSion, i» his -m
---baflv to the Republic. Previ ufly
to his appointm nt to that embafly, he was
ofte-i felic'ted by Gctt WaJhingUn to accept
some frd-ial appoin mcnt When Mr.
'JtJjferfim delated his intention of rdigning
the office of Secretary of Stole, it was ffer
ed to G n. Pinckney, bin declined ; znd jti
the refig'ation of Judg- Biair or Jtbnfon.
(the writer does not recr.llciit with certain
ty whic ) he was again solicited by Gen.
IVaJhington to accept a feat on the bench
of the Supreme Court, !"ut Jgain decliVed-
On the recal of Mr, Munr.ce from ari-,
for misconduCt in office, Gen. WaJLing si
( who k' c« that meafnre would be a fruitful
theme for ciaino.ir) deemed it of imp >rt
ance- t® foleft a citiien as bis fucceflor who
(hould unite splendid talent; and correA
judgment with dilcreti >n and intripidity of
charaft r ; it was a so a defiraVile < [rcum
stance that he (hould be from one of the
Southern States —To Gen Pinckney. whom
he had so often endeavoured to allure to the
firft offices in government, Gen. IVaJlington
again addrtfTed himfelf in a rtyle 1 which
forbade refulal and at the notice of three
days he embarked from Cbarlejlon. where
by his great and lucrative pradife as a law
yer he had rec ived within the prtceding
year fiur tboufan ■' guineas.
The liiftery of this celebra ed embafly is
in the retollc&iou of every ,American.
Ihe treatment experienced by General
Pinckney at Parir, w hen the power and arro
gance of the French Republic were at their
height, the personal dangeis which he bra
ved while unprotefted b> the Law of Na
tions. and abandoned by a proffligate gov
ernment to the regulations of thrirown po
lice agaiaft foreigners ; the failure of the
fifll embafly, a d his return to Holland, are
too weil known to requircthat they (hould
be particularly dwelt upon. Ihe nomina
tion of the second embafly, at the head »f
which Ge •. Pinckney was placed by Prefi.
dent Adams with the progress and ultimate
failure > f that attempt to negociate through
th arrogance, profflig cy and corruption of
the French rulers, are Itill better known,
and will be remembered to the h»nor of
General Pintkney as long as the gra itude of
a jutt and generous people (hall be ihe re
ward of exalted virtue and eminent servi
ces,
This reward he has in part had by the
reception he experienced on his rerurn to
/mciica; by the flattering approbation
whi. h his conduit rece.*ed from his own go.
vernmeht ; and even by his praises extorled
from his political enemies. In a speech in
the Houle of Reprefentativts, Mr. Giles
(of Vtrgini.) cotifefled thai General J'inck
r.ey had coiidu&ed himfelf (alluding to the
firlt embafly) " with difcrction and ability,"
Previous to bin return >0 America he hnd
been appc intrd a M ijor-Genera) in the new
iy railed .tmiy. Immedi.it«|y on his arrival
lie repaired jr> his commard ; where his at
tention was directed with luccei's to the im
provem'ht of miVftary uWcipttnr» until the
army was itifbanded by a refoluiion of Con
gress at t)Vi \j/tt feflion ; when he retired
with cheerTuloefs to the walks of private
life, uud (linguilied by civil or military rank
from the mat's of his fellow-citizens.
Imports t a? the fiublic fervicei or Gen-
Pineinty will appear by this brief (ketch,
they will tlerive additional lustre and merit
from the patriotic motives which have pro
duced them. As he has never been known
to solicit any other tha i the pofl of danger
for which hit intrepid charafter preculiarly
qualified him arid in the course of a life,
exposed by the nature of his two profeffions
to perf oal altercation, his courage was of
ten tri ed, and never queltioned. High a»
his charafter stood at ;hc barof Sou h Car*
Una for legal knowledge, dif layed to great
advantage by a masculine, nerv -us and im
pressive otratory j he deserved ttill higher
praise for his incorruptible integrity, and
the undeViating rettitude of his moral and
profeffional conduct, y which he merited
and eftabliflied the repUt.tion not only of a
good citizen in all the social and domestic
relations, but that , so highly prized, and so
fe dom admitted, of an HONEST LAW
YER.
H'S disinterestedness and intrepidity have
entitled him to a character equally high as
a soldier and, patriot. In the regiment that
H# commanded at the commencement of
'he revolution wtrc a number of near re
lati ins. none of whom were promoted
or preferred by liith on any sccafion, and in
all his app-intment he was cr.reful to feleft
those exe'ufivtly who were diltingui(hed by
merit. A remarkable i:.(lance of his attach
ment to this correct pri- ci;;le occurred
in his pitraiotion of a private soldier of the
name of ffamlltowhofe daring valor, he
roic spirit and military eiiterprife seemed to
deltine him to command -l ie was rappid

of a company, and soon atter a Brigade

Nothihg can more (tronply demonstrate j
the solidity of his worth and talents than the
great refpeft they lav.- always commanded
from his political opponents, more rfprcially
in the Itate where he rtfide?. The demo
cratic printer »t Charleston, in republKhing'
troni the (Pliila.) f/ r o r J, al vnys otnits such
pa(Tige» as relates to General Pinckney.
The p 'lit c I ground on which he now
(la ds is tli.t of afi m hut moderate Feder
alist, Unfhiiklcd by foreign influence or
attachments, and pnj&'ffi.ig at the fame time
a complete knowledge off ireign politics and
manners, derived from n&u il obfervatton,
he is anxious only to support the character of
a True American. As the friend of Wash
ington he reveres the memory of that great
man, and support* his principles of policy
a d of adnijniflr.ition.
The person and manners of Gen. Pinck
ney are peculiarly formed to give dignity
and effeft to an elevated public situation.
Goiiverfant with the w irld from his earlielt
years, he has noQe of that afffted gravity
which has often made g;eat men ridiculous j
and though the franknefs ot his character
I. ad< him to be communicative and unreferv.
•;d on all fubjefts (not excepting politic;)
yet on all occaiious " discretion seems to
cover him with her mantle." Superior to
the ar'ifice which affects to make a secret of
(late affairs, he is limited in the difcu(fi<>f) of
political topics by no other confide ration
thah thnfe of prudence a.id propriety.
To those who may be difptff-d to consider
this (ketch as the language of hlind r undif
tiiiguidled panegyric, it is a fufficient answer
to fay, that plain fa£ts and f.ber reason will
furni(h 110 other result than that which is
here given. The friends of a great man
latVly praise him, when his enemies have not
dared to imp eaf b him.

The American, who recolle&s the import

and private virtues of'Geneial Walhington
—who has used to contemplate this illusi

country, mufi now be aOoniflied at the im
pudence ot the Jacobin writers, who endea
vour to attach to their party the naree of
Walhington, when it is remembered that
since lie has retired from the prlidential
Chair, thefc wretclie* with the cruelty of U
rtited Irilfamcn, and the audacity of foreign
milcreants attempted to brand our American
hero with the epithets MONOCRAT,
MURDKRKR pd TRAITOR ; and from
the press of the Aurora in 1797, th.'y dc
c-l.ire that " Mr. Walhmgton has at iagtb
heeome theachhious even to his own

frtlfc and virulent, levelled at General Wash-
Irigton, the jacobins proceed to unfold the
views of the party.

" To prevent any other man from availing
himfelf ofa like danger*,us alctndacy, as
Mr. Washington, to do mifcl.eit, it is ne
ceflary to revifc the federal and several of
the state conllitutions r ithout del y. Un
til this is effected, Ameiica mull remain a
prey of internal faftiotia, in conftquewce of
h.r governments being fepeiated too much
from the p:oplc ; her foreign politics aWo
must flu&uate with the fluftuations of herl
administrations. The fame experience which
tells us, that America ought not to place
confidence in indivduals, tell; ua neverthe
less that (he is too prone to do it. To re
more therefore the double dtfed of a de
ceving individual, and a credulous or indo
lent people ; it i-> in difpenfably necessary to
per i eft by'legitimate mea«s the federal go
vernment, as welt as others- Virginia,
which firtl founded tie alarm bell withrefpeft
to the (lamp adl, which never fails to exhi
bit refpedable public men ; and whose chief
rigrei, since it has seen him become
grade, it the having given birth and coun
tenance to Mr. Wafhing'on ; Virginia has
again tignalized herfelf by four wife refuta
tions at the present crilis. These (hould im
mediately be carried int« effedt. What re
gards the head of the federal executive, is,
hawever, molt prefling since there is po
immeniate controitl existing over it in the
Senate. If evil once in fifty years results
from having an dxclufive President in a
country, it is fufficient reason for changing
the present initiation of a solitary Prefidenr ;
and what reafoji is there per contra ; what
evil in a plural Directory gradually renew
ed ? The perfori at present chhfen as Vice-
President, would, in this cafe, no longer as,
now. be an inert personage. The execu
tive government would no lunger exhibit
the fluftuaiing chara&er of an individual,
hut approach nearer to the fixed abftra£t of
the American nation. Tne French Di
rectory, confiding of five persons, of which
one is yearly replaced, has exhibited vigor,
secrecy, and celerity, in a fufficient propor
tion, (o make it more than a match far any
m narchy. or for any ariftocratical republic
in Europe. It has succeeded as rapidly
ir. uniting tf-.e French Republic as the mono
c at Walhington has succeeded in dividing
that of America.
Mr. Wayne,
A refere ce having besn mide by Tench
Coxe to Hie in the Aurora of the 9th in
(lant, upoi( the fiibjec\ ot Mi. Adan s's poli
tical opiaions, I conceive it my duty to
publifli the following 1 ccalion of it.
During an evening Mr. Coxe spent with
me a few weeks ago, in the course of con
versation, he spoke of the monarchical prin
ciples which -vere held by tome people in
tins country. I replied by faying, •' if I
were to mention all the opinions, and willies
I had heard upon that fuhjeft, I (hould be
perfecuw-d out of our Country." These
opinions, and willies came chiefly from pri
vate citizens. A-s they were uttered in pri
vate conversation, h authqrs of them were
n>t inentitxnrd, and (hall never be known.
None of them tame from Mr. Adams. I
declare I never heard him exprefj any other
opinions on government than those contain
ed in his defence of the American Conflitu
tions, and that I never heard h m express
a wi(h for a monarchy in the United States.
011 the contiary, I have uniformly heard
him l«y in cotvverfition, as he has done in
his works, that 1 ur prpfent government was
best calculated for our countiy.

To the People of Pennsylvania,
TO those who have anxiously viewed
and deplored the course of admii illration
pui fucd in those parts JF the Union in
which our political opponents wield the rod
of power, it is needless to paint the dyad
ic! conlequences to be apprehended Ibould
the general government alio fall into their
hands. That their hopes look confidently
to this event and that it will not be preven
ted bu by the utmost exertion on the part
of the friends of the government is indu
bitably true, At the ensuing eledtioh of a
Prefideat and Vice President, the great
effort will be made and its iflue involves all
that is dear to us
Col. Cent.
The imparlance of the »ote of Pennsyl
vania in deciding this momentous queltiou
in known and acknowledged by both
parties, and we may reft assured that our
enemies ..re not at this moment idle in pror
n oting mtafures and intrigues to procure
her weight and influence in their favour.
Their present silence and apparent ina&ioa
fhou d not lead us to believe that they have
abai.doned their purpose. but rather that they
cover some desperate projeft, and that they
are preparing to fcize by l'urprife what they
cannot obtain by regular proceeding.
Among other things we have understood
that it i* intended by them to use every ef
fort to obtain favorable changes in the Sen
ators to be chosen at the next ele&ion, and
if a small majority ftiould then remaio at
tached 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 appiiaed to hold themselves in rea
diness will not have time to arrive at L*n
•alter before the mifchief is done.
Againlt thelV two things then we beg
leave put you on your guard, and ear
ndlly to exhort you to leave nothing un
done to secure a favorable return of Sena
tors, and to advise thofc who are nowir, the
Senate or (hail be ele&ed to bold" tbemfrlves
in readiness at moment's warning to pro
ceed to the ftat of Government
