Tbo Dangers of tbo Deep*
But few people living on chore have any Idea of the
mJiuotouß uuTdships end dangers dally braved by tho
eailore navigating our lakes. 5..1 lug, at Its best, is a
v,ry dangerous business, cn our lakes,
wherongU’D is liable to como up any time without
warning. Bill when tho lakes nro covered with thick
foga such t* havo-tcen prevailing during the last-few
d <.vf, pud added to which are the violent gales of wind
widen wao blowing yesterday and the day before, nav
igating becomes | erfcctly appalling, and It la not to bo
wondered that many salloiH refuse to go out lu such
weather. Owiuu to (ho violent galo prevailing yester
day, but four vessels ventured o.i(, most of thorn pro
furring to wait for more f-rorahio weather. About
twentv of thorn wore lying nt tbo North Pier
yesterday evening, and four wero anchored Off
the Marino Hospital at L’dio View. Almost
overyveisel arriving In port gives more or less evi
dence of tough usage. Two or three of tbaso that ar
rived wero minus their topmasts, while ft number of
others had their rigging torn or disordered. - An tbo
cnlo was blowing off shore, but few* serious accidents
havooccuircd in this neighborhood; hut it was tuo
prevailing opinion at the docks Inst evening that tho
disasters on tho other shore must havo occu very nu
merous.
Cant. Cobb, tho proprietor of the barge Newhoa*e,
cecolv.d a dlrpatuu from Copt. William Armstrong
yesterday, informing him that the vessel wont tsioro
yesterday afternoon, during tho gale, near Grand Ha
ven. No particulars codlU lo learned. It was staled
that tho steam baige George Dunbar, which had tho
vessel lu tow, was also ashore, hut nothing definite
could be ascertained.
Another vessel, the name of which Is unknown,
■was reported ashore near ICenotha yesterday mora
ine.
Toe fonr-mastor,A. B. Moore,arrived yesterday noon
wita a large cargo of salt. She was towed up the
South Branch by tho tug Wood, hut, owing lo the
low waKr lu tho river, due to the gale, sho dragged ou
tho bottom nearly tbo entire distance. IVheu near
Van Uuceu street bridge the stmr Java was coming
down, end gave tho signal for tho other vessel to gp
through tho west draw of the bridge. Consequently tuo
Moore swung around, and In doing so got fast aground.
It toot: tbroo tugs nearly on hour to pull her off,
blocking up (Lo river that length of time. Tin
ctoum-biirgo Ballontloo also grounded near tho same
plu’ O. tbo gale forcing her out of tho channel. The
tug Annie L. Smith pulled her off after a slight de
lay.
’Tbo rchr Guide, lumber-laden, arrived hero yester
day morning in a watcr-logsed condition. Among tbo
vea cla that came lu minus their topmasts yesterday
morning were- tbo schrs Vermont nnd Concord. Tbo
si hr George Steele is ashore at Hat Island, Green Bay ;
she la without a cargo. Tbo prop Vnudcrbilt, down
ward hound, ran ashore at Point an Barques, Lake
Huron, during tho deueefogofewdaj-s ago, butwos
reletsed again without much damage by tha prop
Benton.
The present rough weather will undoubtedly havo
the effect of driving tho vessels still lu tho trade into
winter quartets as soon as possible, and about two
weeks moro will see tho end of the reason. The schrs
Ida Keith, Ashtabula, Cleveland, Cornelia, A. Coatee.

LETTER FROM MR. CHARLES 11. WALKER.
Faxteusonville, 81, Mary’* P»rlßb,\
La„ Oct. 21,187 J. f
To ft* Editor o/ The Chicane Tribune',
Sin: Gov. Kellogg, in a communication to
your paper, dated Sept. 00, says tho Legislatures
of 1305. '95, and ’G7 were entirely composed of
Democrats, and that they appropriated fcI7,QQO,-
000, against *9,000,000 receipts.
In 1805, J, Madison Wells succeeded Michael
ITahn as Governor of Louisiana. Wells Is a
Radical. Uo was removed by Gen, tJhorlduu;
and In Juno, 1807. another Radical, R. F. Flan
ders, wut appointed jo his plaue, In December.
1807, Joshua Raker, Conservative, tvoa appointed
by Gon. Ilaucuck, and was succeeded by Gov.
Warmnth.
During this time, tbo military of the United
States exorcised a quasi-jurisdiction over the
auto, through Gooa. Can by, Hand, Sheridan,
THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1874.
ami Hancock. Therefore tlio Democrats wore
not in potvor during thdflo yearn.
Ditt. if lUoy wbro, and stoic Ibo people's
money, tlioy are not to bo defended. It ia not
& question of party. It is the ease of tbo Peo
ple against Thieves. ■
’Tbo Now Oilcans Picayune baa recently
shown, by the Auditor's boolta, that (bo Legisla
tures of those years expended only SOBO,OOO in
excess of receipts, instead of $11,000,000 as
charged by Kellogg. True, bo replied, they ap
propriated, and not expended. This was also
refuted by tbo Picayune with actual Aruicb.
Gov. Kellogg, through criminality or iguor
ranco, baa issued the following bonds, which oro
a total loss to tbo Stato, viz.:
First—** On or about March XI, 1873, $125,000
of flccond mortgage bonds wore Indorsed by tbo
Governor [Kellogg] on tbo X 0 miles of track laid
beyond Donaldsvillo ; but, as tbo Anal limit of
time, Jamimy. 1873, for tbo completion of tbo
whole road had expired nearly two months pre
viously, abd tbo law Itsolf provided that ' Nona
of tbo said accond-mortgogo bonds for or upon
that portion of said main lino of railroad, not
constructed within tbo timo limited shall bo
guaranteed by tlio Stato of Louisiana,* it la man
ifest that said bonds should not have boon in
dorsed.” Extract of report of Railroad Commit
tee, adopted by Now Orleans Chamber of Com
merce; Juno 1, 1874; signed O. W. It. Bnllov,
Chairman; H. O. Baxas, J. O. Moms, L. H.
Josephs. When bo indorsed tboso bonds, bo
know, or ought to bavo known, tuat (bo con
ttactovs held tbo road beyond Donaldsvillo, and
that it did not belong to (ho Company until they
weiopoki. Tbo madia now under seizure and
sain oa flret-moctgago bonds.
Second— Under Act No. 103, approved Sopt. 0,
18(18, entitled “Au Act to incorporate tbo North
Louisiana «fc Texas Railroad Company,"tbo Gov
ernor (Waunotb) issued to that Company, dur
ing tbo year 18C9, 640 bonds, and, in tbo voar
1878, Kellogg burned 570 of SI,OOO each, bearing
8 por cout Interest,—tbo Stato having a second
mortgage on the road. ~ iimi '
Tbo twelfth section of tbo act provides “That
said Railroad Company shall, on or before tbo
maturity of nny of tbo interest coupons on any of
said bonds, deposit tbo amount thereof in tbo
Stole Treasury for tbo payment thereof; and, In
event of tbo failure to make aueb deposit, that
no further issue of bonds shall bo made, and tbo
State shall bavo tbo right to foreclose tbo mort
gage therein given to secure tbo payment of tbo
bonds and iuloroat issued to said road, according
to tbo provisions of'tliis act.”
Tho Treasurer's books show that the only de
posit the Company over made to meet tbo inter
est on tbo State bonds was $10,120, daring tbo
years 1869 and '7O.
By Act 105, approved Juno 29,1871, it was au
thorized to issuo a first mortgage of $25,000 per
mile. Subsequently, by Act No. 97. approved
April 10,1872, it was aiiooted that, in lieu of tbo
second mortgage to ibo Stale, the Company
might give its stock at par for tbo amount of
bonds msued or to bo issued; and, in considera
tion of tbo issue and delivery of said stock, ibo
Company shall bo relieved from all liability for
tbo aforesaid bonds of tbo Stato.
Tbo foregoing Btatomonta aro copied from &
report made, in 1878, to Gov, Kellogg, by &
Committee of Auditors and Examlnora appoint
ed to investigate the State debt. See cages 8
and 0,
It will bo seen that the Company had default
ed In providing tbo interest previous to tho latino
of £557.000 by Kellogg ; alao, that tbo conti act
had been 1 changed from one of security to a
stock-subscription, tho consti
tutional limits of State indebtedness bad been
previous!v reached. It is clear that tbo Issue
was illegal, and should not have boon made.
In a future article, I will give your loaders a
hislorv of that pet scheme of plunder, tbo Fund
ing Dili, by which it is attempted to consummate
nnd fasten upon tbo people of tho State all of
tbo steals, without any redress whatever.
By Warmbth, Kellogg A Co., the' State debt
ban been increased to $58,521.6-15.67, contingent
and all (hoo Auditors* and Examiners’ report,
pages 14,15. 16, and 17. Tho constitutional lim
it is $25:000,000), with absolutely nothing to
show for It.
Gov. Kellogg cannot deny his complicity and
copartnership, although tho firm has since
quarreled over a division of tbo spoils. ■ Ho
was part of tbo Waimoth Government, and by
it was made Vi Senator of tbo United States. Ho
was homlnalod for Governor, and : claims hla
election, by that party. Warmotb has since
abandoned it. When they came iuto power, tbo
State debt was nbt buidousomo rprooorty was
in demand at advancing piicos : tho people wero
both hopeful aud’cheerful. Now, tuo State is
bankrupt, property unsalable, homos aud plan
tations deserted, levees down, and' tho people
despondent.
Gov. Kellogg cannot dodge the responsibility,
nor can bo separate himself from lbs patty, or
bis Administration from that of his predecessor.
They are both part and parcel of the same great
wrong that bas ruined a onus happy aud pros*
porous State. Bcapocifully yours,
Charles H. Walker.

the Rebellion in South Carolina, accomplished
os a trooper, and tbo cavalier loader of a flying
logloo, Kershaw was the steady soldier of the
lino, Me jor-Qoneral of Division, and bo was ono of
Longstrcol's groat Lieutenants at Chlckamairga
and Gettysburg; taken prisoner at last, with
bis division, at tbo end of tbo War,
and consigned for a fow mouths to Fort
•Warren. Ho lives in tbo County of Kershaw,
Indicative of his family influence in tboao revo
lutionary parts of tbo State where Gates and
Cornwallis mot In force ; and, nearly thirty years
ago, be was a promising military officer m South
Carolina, and a Lieutenant in tbo Mexican War.
He Is a planter and a lawyer.
Ho took out a regiment at tbo opening of the
civil contest, and kept' bis record in tbo Hold
amongst tbo best, and bis character in morals
and deportment pure and lofty. Without dimi
nution of bis original reputation,—for bo was
never rich,—Kershaw returned to civil life, pru
dent of speech, slow of affiliation, without tbo
acerbity of Early, the precipitate apostasy of
Longstroot, or tbo o’orprompt coming forward
of Hampton. Ho belonged to tbo mild.
Conservative school of beaten Marshals, who
wilt not blush before their record without tbo
possibility of a usefulness paramount to self
abnegation, nor bo converted in an instant from
all their traditions, until they have watched tbo
tide of events In order to know when to plunge
in. Not unsolioUoue, but unselfish; not wholly
content to bo without career, but unablo to do
baso himself to attain it,—ho has boon calm and
advisory, waiting for tbo day-star. Xu tbo con
ditions of the Southern country, those Rebel
leaders who have stood in camp of observation,
patient and steady, bavo boon ablo to conserve
their influence; while malignants, liko D. 11,
lIUI and Jeff Davis, and others volatile to rush
in for a wild handshaking over tbo bloody chasm,
have dissipated them.
Kershaw looks 100 influence bo possesses. 110
, is a small, round-crowned gray-haired man ; tbo
hair cut short; tbo face harmonious and com
pact ; tbo eyes stool-blue ; only a mustache;
and exceedingly slight limbs and feet. I should
not judge that bo would weigh above 125 pounds.
Ho has a slight, agreeable lisp, and a deep, mod
ulated, manly voice. In some respects be io
eembloa Qon. Hubert E. Lee.
Tuo Ural evening I was in Columbia, ho con
versed with mo at my roqucat; nud, several davu
aiterward, piocoeding to Charlotte, I had his
company on the train tho entire afternoon.
Farts' of ilioso convoraationa, sot down from
recollection, nialto tlio staple of tlriu letter.
I" first naked what ho thought tho project was
TO REDEEM THE STATE,
“For tho flrattiruo/’ho said, •• wo boo a gleam
of light. Hitherto tho uncompromising obstinacy
of Homo of our people, ami tuo assiduous olforts
of Nor. hero emissaries to auUgunitto tlio negroes
against us, have defeated every attempt at co*
operation. Tho negroes aro now shoeing toma
sensibility, and room to respond to our advances
for conioiujco, divided responsibility, and good
government."
1 ashed Qeu, Kershaw if this change of pollov
might not come from tho glowing impatience of
the North with the negro experiment, and tho
negro's tear that tho llojmblican party would bo
brvjaou down by carpot-batrgiug.
“ I think thev do uot rcauou bo far off," said
the General. “They are Growing Bounder and
more sagacious themselves, and see reason to
giro us more of their confidence. Many of those
negroes nro moral one) religious beings, who be
gin to soo tbo scandalous lives of the ruling im
migrants. Others are weary of the first jubilee
of freedom ami politics. Their Leagued, I am
told, are not ns well attended os formerly. They
differ on lenders and positions. Aud, besides,
they arc well satisfied, I have no doubt; that wo
could nob abiidgo their freedom if ■,wo would {
and, for myself, I would not if loould.”
“ You have Incurred eorao slight obloquy, 1 be
lieve, for holding this last pomuou, amongst ul
tra Ooiißorvatlvos ? "
“ Nob exactly obloquy. Most of mb think
nearly tbo same, as the action of the Convention
will show you. You saw that Convention ? Xam
glad of it. It was the best body in ohnraotor and
firudonco that we have soon at the Slate Capital
or years. A body of men like that plunged in
a moment of time from independence to de
pendence. and struggling along for nearly ton
years with such reasoned patience, and preserv
ed culture and hope, that they compare with tbo
State Senates of past years, la an answer to any
charges of degeneracy.
“ You see, sir, this wholesale experiment of
negro-citizenship confused us for years. It came
on'gradually, resisted iu the North as well ns
here, aod wo lost all thoso years of indecision,
biding tbo conclusion of tbo consequences.
President Johnson and hie advisors were assur
ing us that tho Reconstruction acts would bo
vetoed by himself, and then by tbo people at tbo
noils. That hope wss succeeded by defeat and
buraiUfttion ? and, in tbo interim, tho negroes
were led away a«Udlv by interlopers."
1 asked God. Kershaw about the rise of
THK RU-KLUX
in tho State. Ho described tbo condition of
thing* when ho came homo; tbo fatality of Con
servative politics,—as, for example, tbo denun
ciation of the Reconstruction acts by tbo Na
tional Convention of 1608, followed by defeat,
aud again by tbo defeat of Carpenter and Butler
overwhelmingly by tho negro-vole. That defeat
gave such gloom to tbo native whites that it in
censed them over to bavo voted for Republicans.
The Ku-Klux, formed in Tcmiessco to resist
Brownlow'a mihfia, got over into North Caio
lius, and then into tbo mountain and Piedmont
parts of South Carolina, but never advanced to
ward tbo boast. Gen. Kershaw spoke witb a
tone of regret that such subterranean stylo of
Government bad over boon attempted.
' Gen. Forrest, of Tennessee, charged tho origin
of tbo Ku-Klus. so far as be know, upon one
Saunders, in tho Town of AaboyiUo, N. C.,- 40
tnilcß over tho South Carolina Uno. This man
was poisoned by bis own wife.
Gen. Kershaw said: “Tbo negroes wore first
approached at Beaufort and along the coast, and,
before tbo end of tbo War, wore disciplined by
preachers and others to carry tboir political
ideas further info tho interior. When I was re
leased from Fort Warren, I found this pfopa
paudiem bad reached ail parts of tho "interior.
Wo wore uimblo to doal with it, being just out of
I war, and novot having behold anything of tbo
. kind before. Tito negroes, you must observe,
1 who bad a\ways boon obedient'and domestic,
wo suddenly'found aimed as militia, going about
on various enterprises; .and it became unsafe or
alarming for wnlto women, or children, or
Isolated men, to go abroad. Tho youug men,
raised in the array, were over-prompt to accept
such a defiance. As wo advanced, men had to
mako a living somehow, and have peace to do
it in. I called on chestnut, my townsman, ox-
Senator of tbo Uhitod States, and ho resolved to
address tho colored people. Wo both made
speeches.
“The negro Randolph, who was killed after
wards, heard ns through, and bo said t • Well, if
you como m that spirit, we welcome you.’
“Thou
HOWES AROSE.
it was the first time I had over seen him. Ho
had boon spooking affably with 1 ms'; told mo
that bo was a Confederate Captain, and so forth;
and then, to my surprise, he proceeded to ad'
dross an inflammatory harangue to the nogioos.
Ho told them that they had been robbed of their
wages, lashed, starved, atid so ou, until the na
tive blocks,who had previously borne us no mal
ice, became Infuriated and uproarious. Wo saw
that wo could make no answer, and told them
that, if order and concord could not bo estab
lished for the future without reviving the ex
punged and buried past, wo must withdraw. Wo
did so, greatly discouraged. Tho example sot hr
Bowen that day appeal’s to have driven Randolph
ou to similar denunciation in a more unruly port
ol tho State, and cost him his life."
“ Is Bowen a roun of any force ? "
“ Yes. Ho is a strong and plausible haranguer,
—one of those unexpected elements iu our cup
of bitterness. The native whites who go into
,Republican politics—such as Moses, Nagle, and
Bowen—art) particularly qualified by a knowl
edge of the uogio to control him. Strangers
have no such familiarity with the negro mind.
Tho poison running against mo for Congress,
Wallace, was tho author of tho resolution to en
slave all tho Iroo negroes iu the State before
the War. Twitted with this, ho coolly replies
that be did propose it, hut as a matter of
mcrov. as tho free negroes, ho says, wore less
protected than tho slaves."
•* Have onv of your well-reared citizens gouo

RENEGADES.
“ No. Von may count them on your fingers,
Melton, now Altornoy-Genoial, is the most nota
ble exception. lie was the active bureau oAlcor
iu tho Adjm&nc-Gcooial’s Department at Rich
mond. I hear that ho claims to' ho acting with
tho Republicans for tho ultimate advantage of
tho 'Conservatives, but I can’t see how that
makes bis attitude any more honorable."
“Do you think & man might not become a
Republican for reasons of independent thought
aba common worldly adoptability ?"
•‘I do. But. if that change ia immediately at
tended with an office, it informs upon the rene
gade. Men like Judge Qrocu and Judge Bryan,
who wore Uulou men during the War, wo ac
cent as consi>tont and proper recipients of the
favor of tbo United States. Men like Melton,
whoso convoraion is not diamtorested, and
whoso new associates are tho public robbers, aro
tost to the esteem of their fellow-soldiers."
“Thou 1 infer that you do not admit Mr.
Charaborlaino’s assumption that he was uot
a party to the frauds of Scott, Nagle, Parker,
and Patterson ?**
“ No. Mr. Chamberlains in a better-ordered
man than they in mind and manners; but this
loaves him less defense. There is very little dif
ference in grade. Some of these men are ac
counted more chivalrous than others; but Cham
berlains is, if possible, a coldm-hoartod man
tuan tbo rest.”
“Slight ho not endeavor, to rpcovor sorao cur
rency, to mnko a bettor Administiation khan
Scute or Moses?"
“Yea, I presume bo will try to do so. But ho
has tho same eurrouudiugs. All tho old confed
erates of the Bing aro working fOr him. They
nominated him. It ih true that, by certain
amendments, tho debt of tho Stato is forbidden
to bo increased; but the Legislature is nearly
hopotosslv depraved. Those men first debauched
tho negro Legislatures, and now thay aro culling
lustily for an honest Legislature to help them to
ho honest. Chamboilaino has opened his can*,
vase with more courtesy than wo expected.*'
“Do you regard the condition of things as
hopeless, then/"*
“No. Tbo material increase of tho State is
encouraging. Tho discovery of groat deposits
of phosphates I regard as one of those timely
compensations Nature has provided for a forlorn
people. It will bo worth moro to iis thou till tho
slaves wo lost. Nor do I regard the present
debt as beyond our ability to carry. It is a pity
that we had any credit. Wo do uot require any.
Tuero is nothing added to tho property of tho
Stato by all this wanton outlay. If wo could
have quiet, tho labor amongst us would bo bettor
than wo had hoped,**
“What, then, do you regard as tho great evil
of tho Stato?” ’
“ I regard what aro called
THE OARPET-IJAaOEBS
as tho all-comprchousivo curse or South Caro
lina. They canto hereto divide society, not to
combine it. When tho blacks and whi'os of tho
Statu como together, as they should, tolerant and
mutually assisting each other, this episode will
have ended. -It is tho policy of tho cirpot-bag
gore to hoop tho negroes perpetually apprehen
sive of their freoduin, and tho North perpetually
apprehensive of tho union. Thus they inthm
daio immigration and capital, and subsist upon
our segregation and poverty.' 1
“Do you, personally, object to negro-educa
tion ?”
“I do not. Inra In favor of anything that
will leavon and enlighten this mass of ignorance,
and make it lit for its responsibility. And I
think tho negro will como out right. Tho North
is crippling itself with our lameness. We are
rich as a State. Ilostore tho South, discounte

“ Ves. Tho negroes Oaii very generally road.
If thov could lo assured, from overwhelming

As we wore passing through tbo region of
TUB BANDUILLEIIB,
£ said i
“The Sandhtllors. Gen. Kershaw,—what typo
of people are they ?"
“ Tbo Sftiidlullora are tbo queerest people wo
have, and, though poor, not uninteresting. They
Uvo iu ibis bolt of country coutigoous to Colum
bia. where tbo soil is pretty much bare sand, un
inviting to tho eye, and sorubbily timbered with
pine and small oak. Tboir little plank' cottages,
almost black with exposure to the sun; their
small figures, almost stunted, it would seem,
but capable of. groat fatigue; tboir dwarf cattle,
aud docile character, make them a sort of inde
pendent peasantry, not unliko what is found in
old parts of tbo North of Europe. It has even
been guessed that they wore of Icelandic or
Norwegian descent, emigrated anterior to tbo
biatorlo period or Carolina. Tboir straight
block hair, nearly obllquo eyes, of an almond
shape, aud unambitious homo habits, remind us
of nothing olso."
“Wore they generally friendly to the Confed
erate cause ? "
“Always. Tho sandbillors made some of tho
very best soldiers iu tho Confederacy. They
woro easily disciplined, obedient beyond any oth
er soldiery, could not bo worn out by marching,
and they wero tho first to plunder tho battle
field."
“Bid tboy develop any of tboir own number to
distinction ? "
.“No. Tho social condition of things before
tho War very generally proscribed the relations of
tho War. In this State; tbo military leadership,
in many cases, suggested tbo loader of tbo Rev
olutionary War, eighty years before. Hampton,
PickcnS, my name os well, woro partisan or lino
leaders in the Revolution.
“ Then you bad no groat body of Unionists in
this State?"
“ Yob. there wcro a few in tho mountain parts,
bnt I think they worn gonot&lly North Caro
linians. You sco, in North Carolina thero wore
hundreds of families of Quakers, Gormans, and
others, absolute Abolitionists, long before the
War. Wo had nothing of tho sorb in South
Carolina. The pooplo hero—not tho loaders
only, but tho masses—seceded from tho Union
voluntarily, it was a general movement, of
long growth, argued in this Stato before tho
generation of young men who fought tho War
wcro voters, and it had slowly drawn all ole
meats into it."
This view of tho caso was also espoused by Mr.
Milos, of Charleston. Ho said: •* I know a
different opinion prevails at tho North ; but
Secession began at tho bottom in this Stato, not
amongst tho politicians. It camo right un from
tho pooplo. -There were two -classes of opinion
hero: tho Separatist*, who wanted the State to
go out, of itself, without reference to assistance;
and the Dlsunlonisls, who wanted to secede by
co-oneratlon, and not only to leave, but to break,
tho Union."
United Staton Senator Robertson, a native of
Fairfield, earned this'explanation to perfection:
“Thopoliticians." ho said, “began to bluff
each other ou disunion. They never thought it
would come about; but the people believed
them, and. when tho matter camo to vote, tho
people wore diaunioniels, and thoir leaders had
to go into tho army for a while, and thou into
defeat aud poverty."
SECESSION REFINED.
Vot, whatever tho solfieh incentives to dis
union, it is not impossible that a high fanaticism,
based upon sagacity, also entered into the
scheme. If Slavery was the basis of wealth in
tho South, and there could be no transformation
of slave-labor to free under tbo conditions of
society there, disunion might have insulated it.
aud preserved it from the inevitable fiction of
Northern opinion.
Said Mr. Miles: “There had boon for many
years a sentiment that tho interests of tbo Free
and Slave States wore better subserved separate.
It was hold by some of tho best of out pooplo,
not politicians nor fanatics."
Tho Tariff question, in 1830, brought tho pre
text' for this issue. Three years afterward,
Calhoun, returning from Washington, told his
intimate friends that the Slavery question must
bo pul ahead .of-the Tariff, as tbo more logical
provocation of tho two, because tho
Hamptons, Mannings, and oilier in
fluential South Carolinians, wore sugar-plant-,
cm in Louisiana, and would uphold tho
Tariff legislation of tho North, to got
protection for their sugar and molasses, iu
eleven years, the advocates of this policy, work
ing with vigor wherever they could got hearing,
brought together a Convention at Nashville,
which the citizens smashed uu, under Jacksonian
suggestion. Persisting yet, a Disunion Conven
tion was called in tbo same city in 1.550, and tho
two over whelmingly Stave Slates—South Caro
lina and Mississippi—alone responded through
thoir Legislatures. The last appearance of Cal
houn in tho Souato was to advocate two Presi
dents of tho United States at one and tho same
time,—one to represent tho rod, the other tho
sword,—tho Slave ana the Free States.
TUB 81'BOTHB OX TUB SHIELD.
The motives of human conduct are too various
to judge Calhoun with certainty. By many ho is
regarded as a disappointed aspirant for tho
Presidency, who divided tho Union for roaent
mont. By others, as a prodeatinarian, who was
led along by an iron logic. Pure in his life, tak
ing little amusement, accomplished In political
knowledge, and antagonized by Jackson and tho
vast majority and patronage of his own party in
middle life, ho soomod driven out of tho Union
Into South Carolina. Thoro ho labored for a
caroor equal with and ominous to tho Union. If
ho could uot bo Saul bo could bo Samuel, and
prophesy. With peculiar intensity, a sincerity
not diminished by his grievance, which he soon
forgot or attributed to tbo public calamity, and too
much positive character to bo merely a drooping
Hamlet, ho raised his provincialism into an im
perial issue, and, sustained by bis State aa no
man in America over was, ho put Slavery out of
tho defensive into the aggressive, and piopor
tionablyhastoned its decease. Ho was. thoioforo,
not a motive, but an ingredient in tbo strong
lye which cleansed tho Union of Slavery. His
private character was better than Webster's;
his resentment was no greater than Clay's; his
heart was rebellious, like his Irish race, to tho
realm, while loyal to the locality of which ho
was nearly the federal chief. His lesson to
South Carolina and every other Slate is this:
11 Trust no ono man; for his policy for you may
bo originated in a grievance of his own.
I asked Gen. Kershaw:
“Bid Mr. Calhoun have a molding influence
on South Carolina mind and opinion ?"
“1 think not so much as is ascribed to him.
No more, perhaps, than Mr. Webster had to
model Massachusetts. We always regard, in this
State, tho South Carolina College as having been
-the controlling influence in all things. Mr. Cal
houn was not a graduate there, but of Yalo. For
sixty years it was the author of tho laws, tho
suggoster of reforms and of institutions amongst
ns; and in its alumni yon will find the groat
bodv of our legislators and lawyers. Two United
States Senators, Barnwell and Preston, woio
Presidents, and it was thought honorable to Ituvo
tho Senate to take the College, ”
the SOOTHER# harvard.
Tide is not only opinion, but fact, in South
Carolina. Harvard College did not more control
Maasuchunetts, and I heard more complaint of
die lam change of iho college-system to the
university-plan than of negroes being admitted
to it. Tho first President, Haxoy, was a Baptist
from Massachusetts, and the suo.'OSHor of Jona
than Edwards at Union College, The second,
Thomas Cooper, was a Deist, tho sou-ln-law of
Priestley, born in London, and tho political
economist of South Carolina from 1820 to 1810.
The third, Itobort Henry, a native, wan tho first
lecturer for Free-Trade in tho United States,
and tho first American ' college lecturer
on Political Economy. Both Homy
and Preston, bis successor, wore educated
-at Edinburg; tho latter was the grand-nephew
of Patrick Henry, and the pupil of William
Wirt. Dr. Tllormrell, Presbyterian, succeeded
him, For nearly a quaitor of a century. Francis
Liohor, tho celebrated publicist, was Professor
of History hero. It may no questioned whether
any American college, by thu foreo of accident
or afiinity, ever did as muoU to promote original
political thought, and it Is not imorobablo that
Harvard will one day admit that, In tho matter
of commercial freedom, tho old institution at
Columbia led it into orthodoxy by half a century.
James U. Hammond, tho ablest man tho Stato
Ims produced in our period, was tho
son of u Professor in this College who
graduated at Dartmouth and was
born in Massachusetts. It was this Buy
btato scion who. from 1830 down to the War,
energized tho industry, military spirit, and
Htato-iluhls opinion of the State; and at his
residence, near Augusta, Secession was plotted,
Thu riso and growth of tho South Carolina school
has never been else than superficially considered
nt the North. Deism, Baptism, Presbyterianism,
Skepticism, have worked through tula College
upon tbo rising professional thought of Ihoßtftto
filrtco 1801. ' The students' Imbibed tho nplrlt of
■Professors who had fought in tho Ftoneb,
mill drool;, ond Mexican devolutions i
mid it Ih demonstrable that I'roo Trade
was not developed In South Carolina
by tho selfishness of Slavery, but Imported by
Joseph Priestley, the friend of Franklin, whoso
reflections on this subject. In 1798. wore carried
by Cooper to Columbia in 1810, and elevated into
a faculty'tboro. Calhoun attempted to rido this
school of thought into Nullification ; but, fall
ing, dropped it for tho more easy lopio of doma-
Slavery. Calhoun was not a graduate
°f tlua Collo.go and poaalWy felt no great good
will for its paramount influence.
Upon tho library of tho College, selected by
those radical political economlats, abbot 890,000
bad boon expended before tho War. Tho College
had cost tho State about one million and a
quarter.
