BY EX GOVERNOR B. F. 1'ttRRY.
[CONTINUED FROM LAST WKEK.]
HENRY MIDDLRTON.
Tlio following sketch nnrd remembrances
of Governor Middleton
was published in tho 14 XIX (
Century," and as he was, for some j
years, a citizen of Greenville, representing
the District in tho State 1
Convention, I have thought propter
to re-publish it among my 44Uemiu- 1
iscciicc3" or uroeiiviilo. I have '
already stated that Governor Mid
dlcton was an early settler of the 1
District, owned large possessions '
here, and remained with us till his 1
mission to Russia : 1
Governor Middleton wn*hc6on 1
of Arthur Middleton, one of the 1
signers of the Declaration of Independence,
and a lineal descen- 1
diint of Henry Middleton, Presi- 1
dent ot the convent inn wtiieli tliroio
off I ho proprietary government in
South Carolina, and adopted, in its 1
stead, the royal government of
Great Britain, .lie was a small 1
hoy during the Revolutionary
War, and accompanied his lather
whilst attending the American 1
Congress in Philadelphia. In con
sequence of the disturbances ol tho 1
Revolution, and iiis attendance on
his father, lie said his early cduca- 1
tion Lad been neglected. His son (
in law, Mr. Fisher, of Philadelphia,
thinks he luoant by this that he
did not, like his elder brother,
have the advantages of a collegiate
course in England. - Mr. Fisher
knows that he had a private tutor,
and was thoroughly taught Latin.
Greek, French and Italian. He
travelled a great deal, whilst a
young man, in Europe, and was
in Fiance for some time during 1
the French Revolution.
In the full of 1832, Governor Middleton
was in Greenville with his
family, lie had formerly resided
lico before bis mission to Russia,
and had disposed of his house and
farm to Washington Earle.?
Through my influence he was elected
a member of the State C<>nven- 1
lion from Greenville, together with 1
myself. Colonel Brockman and
Silas R. \V bitten, called in the fall
of 1832, to nullify the tariff law of
Congress. Before starting to the
convention, and after we reached
there, we were a good deal together,
and I derived a great deal of
valuable information from him,
and was always delighted, as well
as edified, by his conversations.?
In my journal, I have made memoranda
of sotno of theso conversations.
lie amused mo ofton with
his anecdotes and sketches of public
men. In one of these conversatio
s ho told ino that he then
had in his possession a manuscript
of his father which contained a
speech of Mr. Madison, taken
down in short-hand, advocating a
treat}' with Great Britain, on the
condition that she would acknovvl
edge the independence of all the
colonics north of the Carolinas.?
The Carolinas and Georgia wero to
remain British provinces. The
resolution embodying this uroposition
was introduced in the old
| Congress by Mr. Madison himself.
Many years afterwards, whilst
Governor Middleton was a member
of Congress, he mentioned the
subject of tliisspeech to Mr. Mudi
son and expressed his great surprise
at it. Mr. Madison acknowledged
having introduced the resolution
and tnado tho speech, lie justified
himself on the ground that
the Carolinas and Georgia were at
.that time conquered provinces, the
country was overrun with British
troops, and the loyal government
restored. 1 liese colour a were
considered entirely lost after Gates'
defeat at Camden, and all reasonable
hope ct recovering them was
gone torevcr. An address had
been presented to Lord Cornwal
lis, signed by many of the most
prominent citizens of Charleston,
congratulating him on his victory
and the final subjugation of the
{>rovince. I do not remember to
iavo seen this remarkable fact
mentioned in the history of our
country. The address to Lord
Cor 11 wall it X had hoard of man*
years before, bnt not the speech
and resolution of Mr. Madison.?*
Congress sat, at that time, with
closed doors, and their secret proceedings
were not known to the
country.
Governor Middleton told me a
great deal about society in Europe
and the etiquette of their oourts.
In sneaking of the aristocracy of
England, lie said tbero was no
country in the world where the
classes were kept more distinct
tnnn they were in Great Britain.
There was no association whatever
between the ihigher and lower
classes iu society. In this connection
he mentioned several anecdotes
of James Barbour, whilst
American Minister at the Court of
SL James. lie had greatly shacked
the pride of the nobility by accepting
an invitation troin Ark
wright, a famous wealthy dentist in
London, who had been employed
Drotessionnllv in lii? lomil.. 1T~
t J ... UI? lulling) li U
disgusted them, too, vory much by
going to tho bar-room and calling
for a mint julep. In his first interview
with Lord Aberdeen, Governor
Barbour was informed that
it was not polite to address him as
14sir," but to say 44 My lord," or
simply 44 ves"and ,4 no." He soon
forgot his instructions, and in
every sentence ho used tho forbidden
word ,4sir," greatly to the an
noyance ot his lordship. J nines
and Philip Barbour, said Governor
Middleton, were brothers and
sons of a poor sheriff of one of the
counties in Virginia. They deserved
great credit for their success
in lite. Whilst their father
was sheriff they were his deputies.
James was self educated, and as
sistcd in tho education of Philip,
lie was a vain man, and sometimes
abused tho king's English in his
speeches, which always read bet
tcr than they were when delivered.
The corrections were made
by the reporters. Philip was a
clover man, but an unpleasant
speaker. 11 if was a good lawyer,
unci uciimiieu in telling ot Iiis success
at the bar. The brothers
were both members of Congress
under the administration of John
Q. Adams, but of different poli
tics. James said to Philip, one
day, that be, Phil, bad a happy
knack of always snuffing the popular
breeze at a long distance, and
was never caught in a minority.?
Philip was a Jackson man, and
James sustained the administration
ot Adams.
On my return from Washington,
in 1816, I heard Senator Ilunter,
of Virginia, tell of a speech James
Barbour once made, whilst a candidate
t r the Legislature, after
his return from Europo. lie was
opposed by a Jackson Democrat,whose
name was Jack Davis.?
Tho canvass waxed warm, and
Barbour took the stump, lie
saw that he was likely to be beaten,
and told the people that he had
come to a pretty pass. Atter being
a member of Congress, United
States Senator, Governor of tho
Commonwealth, and Minister to
the first court in Europe, I am now
a candidate for a seat in the Legislature
of Virginia, and am opposed
by Jack Davis, whose highest recommendation
is that ho can drink
more liquor and play a better fiddle
than any man iri the county !
The result of the election proved
that Jack was a inoro popular
man before the people than the
ex-governor, senator aud embassador
!
When about to Icavo St. Petersburg,
Mr. Mi Idleton told mo he
proposed selling to his successor,
Mr. Randolph, of Roanoke, his fine
coach and four beautiful horses.?
Randolph replied, with indigna
tion. "I am 110 Southern nabob,
and will not sport such an equipage
I" lie rode in a plain carriage.
and drove onlv two horses, a
style adopted by shopkeepers aud
tradesmen alone iu St. Petersburg.
On his return to the Uuited States,
Governor Middlcton mot him driving
a coach and four blooded
horses! In Virginia, Randolph
was disposed to play the nabob
and aristocrat ! But in RussiA he
preferred acting plebian and democrat
! Such was his remarkable
eccentricity of character.
Governor Middleton told me
that he was personally acquainted
with almost every distinguished
man in Europe. He saw Bona
parte in every station which he
had filled, from that ot Genera! of
the Interior to his seat on the
throne of France. He was on
terms of intimacy with him whilst
ho was General ot the Interior,
and was in the habit of visiting his
family At one period of their
acquaintance he received encouragement
to addresa his step daugh
ter. 44 Little did I then think,"
said Governor Middldlon, 44 that
| she would over bo a queen. She
I was a clover ariil. but afterwards
reduced by Napoleon, and raarried
to bis brother t Josephine was
the raistreeo of Uarrae, end given
to Napoleon by tb%t corrupt minister,
with a dowry 1 Those facts
are indisputable." This statement
is the very language of Goveruor
Middleton. 1 had heard these
slanders all my life, bat J never
t
gave them any credence. Governor
Middleton, however, spoke
of them as not being susceptible of
a doubt!
In speaking further of Randolph,
he said lie acted strangely
in Rnss a in every way. He would
not visit or receive visits from any
one. On all occasions his servants
were instructed to say that he was
not at home 1 Governor Middle
ton said, Randolph was a most
Cleasant fellow and fine company,
ut possessed eccentricity bordering
on derangement. In his appearance
he looks very tnuch like
an Indian. Governor Middleton
says that JefTcrson gave hiin letters
when he went to Europe, and
that ho was strongly attached to
him throughout his life. Their ac
quaintance commenced when the
I Govern Dr was quite a young man,
I and they corresponded ever afterwards.
Bat the publication ot
Jefferson's works, after his death,
satisfied Governor Aliddleton tlmt
he was not sincere in his professions,
but a hollow-hearted man!
He said Randolph always spoke of
Jefferson as a great coward.
In Paris Governor Middleton
became acquainted with Elbridge
Gerry, then Minister to France,
with Charles Cotesworth Pinckney
and Chief Justice Marshall. They
wcro not recognized as ministers.
It was intimated to them by a lady
authorized by Talleyrand, that if
they would give presents they
might be received. " I carried this
lady to see my uncle. General
Piuckney," said Governor Middlo
ton, w when she made the communication."
This gave rise to
Pinckuey's famous expression,
l Millions for defence, but not a
cent for tribute." Talleyrand afterwards
denied that the ladv was
k.. i.:? ? ? ? J -
ov..i l>t nidi, in uuuiurizea to niAKc
the offer. Gerry told who the lady
was, and she was arrested and
imprisoned for some time. The
Govornor said ho had seen this lady
long afterwards, and they talkod
over the whole cirnmn&tance.?
Gerry was a great coward, and
terribly frightened < tie night, in
Paris, by the kicking and stamping
of the horses in the stable. lie
thought robbers were breaking into
the house, and alarmed all the
inmates!
Governor Middleton was a man
of ordinary height, erect in his
carriage and neat in his dress. lie
was a man of great information,
and wrote and convcrsod well. lie
did not attempt to speak in an}' of
our union conventions or caucuses.
Whilst in Greenville he wrote several
political articles for my paper,
lie took an active part in the Leg
islaturc ot South Carolina, when a
very young man, in favor ot general
suffrage, and was told by his
colleagues that he would be defeated
at the next election in
Charleston. I3u% instead of being
defeated, he was elected the head
of the ticket. He was then electPfl
finroninr nf tlio
^ w. ..v. v* ??"v? kjaim atforwards
sent as Minister to Russia.
After an absence of more
than twenty years, be returned to
the United States, being recalled
by General Jackson. When be
went to call on tlio President,
Jackson expressed great pleasure
at seeing biiu, and Governor Middleton
replied to him, 441 am indebted
to yonr excellency for tbo
pleasure it gives you.'* ile found
his native State in tbo midst of
wbat ho regarded a revolution;
and he took an active part in trying
to stop the revolution and pre
servo the Uuion. He told me that
his sons were going a6tray when
he returned to South Carolina, but
that he had stopped thoin in thoir
folly.

How the Faetory Helps the Farm
4 It will cost yon a bushel of
wheat to send another bushel to
New York market," a wise one re
marked to a Western colonist
44 We don't intend to send onr
wheat to New York," was the re
pl.v, 41 we are putting np mills to
grind it tor homo consumption.'1
These colonists are on the road
to mirnpRR. Tliov will r.nt nnlv
make wheat, but at the same time
a market. We at the South
should bo willing to learn a lesson
from the West in this matter.?
We mako cotton. Can we not
also make a homo market for it,
and thus mako the factory help
the farm ? On this point the loi
lowing remarks from the Now
York Tribune are worthy of
thoughtful attention :
' The introduction of manufactures
into agricultural communi
ties brings together the essential
clainents of wealth producing en
tcrprise, establishing the shortest
circuit of communication. This
is in accordance not only with the
laws of political economy, but of
that higher order whereby Nature
conducts the commerce of the
material world. The farmer and
manufacturer each have needs
which the other supplies; and to
bring the two into 6iich close con
nection that exchanges can be
made with the least possible cost,
is a saving that must commend
itself to the dullest mind. If our
grain be bartered for cloth made
within Bight of the tichl where it
grew, that is plainly a better deal
than sending the 6umo gram to
Liverpool to pay for fabrics woven
in Yorkshire.
14 1 ho factor v jkI.Im vnlnn to tho
farm by affording a lionio market.
A homo market saves the charges,
risks and waste of lon<? carriage,
the profits of intervening traders,
and interest on delayed returns,
and gives merchantable worth to
products that will not pay such
charges. Better still, a home
market is a sure market, little
subject to the fluctuations incident
to foreign demand. Regular
homo consumption steadies prices,
drives out speculation, and gives
to intelligent fore-thought a basis
for reasonable calculation."
