0 "~ CHARLESTON, TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER *f; 1869. . ---- _ . . -v x.--L;~- rtX_ i y MEMORIAM. Frauds W. Pickcut. BT LEK OT T. TOFU1NI, Tho name of Picken* is historical in South Carolina. For three generation? it has held prominent station In tin.' roil of her public men. Andrew Pickens. thc elder, was a worthy com fieer ol'the great Whiff chieftains of the revo ution; and with I be "Came Cock" Sumter, and the "Swamp Fox"' Marion, composed that la? mons trie ot the partisan ieadera of the unpaid gentlemen of Carolina, whose fame will al? ways live In "song and story," in thc old Pal? metto State, whatever complexion her destiny may assume. His conquest of the Cherokees, the wound in the breast which he received lu the thickest of the right at t'utaw, and Ids gal? lant ivrrices at the nard-fought battle of tho Cowpeua, for which Congress voted him a sword, would be kept alive by tradition, oven were they not Indelibly Impressed on the brightest pages of tho Southern chapters of the history or that great struggle. He was a general in the war of the revolution, was sub? sequently elected to Congress, declined a re? election, and was afterwards solicited to accept the office or Governor of the State, which he also declined. His son, Andrew Pickens, the younger, was also distinguished, both in military aud civil life. In the war of IBU, our second war of In? dependence, as it has been not inaptly termed, he was Colonel ot thelOth Regiment United States Regulars, stationed on the Canada fron? tier, and was afterwards appointed to the com? mand ol one of the two regiments raised by the Slate for the defeuoe of Charleston In 1814. Upon the return of peace, he "was, In 1816, elected oas ofthat long line of illustrious Gov? ernors of South Carolina-the choice of the wolta men ortiie State-which commenced iu 1776 with John Rutledge. His son, Francis W. Piakens, more widely known than either sire or grandslre-more widely known, Indeed, on the day of his death than any living Caroliulan,after high offices held intimes of feverish excitement, onda long and eventful public career passed amid the storms of State-has but lately breathed bis last, at the family seat of Edgewood, amid the endear? ments of domestic lue, and with children's faces round his bed, but leaving no heir male to transmit to alter generations the name which has been so long aud so much honored la South Carolina. Th? hut Pickens, though his services as aid to Governor Hayne in the stormy days cf nulli? fication, and his course us Governor of South Carolina In the two first years of the great civil war in America, gave no uuccrulu promise that, as were the sire andgrandain- in military affaira, so wonld bo the sou, wc a his laurels lu that civil arena, for which he evinced from boyhood a passionate proclivity. "Politics," says the last of the British pre? miers-a man who has perhaps lived more lu and for ike world of politics than any living statesman-"politics is a branch of study cer? tainly the mont delightful ia the world, but for a boy as certaiuly the most pernicious." Here we have followed tho practice, rather than the theory, of Mr. D'lsraell; t he highest goal of honorable ambition is to acquire great renown by great pnbJic services, una ambitious youth naturally aspire to political distinction. 3?r. Pickeus' eany education was well adapt? ed to form aa orator and srarescian. Hu was jL- an earnest aliment of Aristotle, the most acute of human Intellects, whom he justiy considered the most profound of al! who nave' t reated of - government ; and throughout life was fond of tracing lu modern authors, repeated, varied, and disguised, those fundamental Ideas of tbs science which the greatest of philosophers taught tho greatest of conquerors, AS in statesmanship his master was "ihe founder of the science of polities, to in oratory his master was the greatest orator who over spoke. " Whose resistless eloquence Wielded ut wilt that aeree democratic, Shook the arsenal and rulmiued over Greece.'' So attached indeed was he to Demosthenes, that be could repeat la youth the whole of the transcendent oration ou tho Crown, and would often in later life quote striking passages of it with unaffected admiration. Under tho able tuition of hu fitther, IM sta dlad nod memorized Burku's great speeches on tho taxation and conciliation of thc colonies Sheridan'* famous Begum speech ou t he cole bitted trial of Warrun Hastings, dud Lord Stansfield'* ablest elXortsln the House ot' Lords, and to these and the other bravuras of British oratory ho constantly recorred with the great? est pleasure. But his heart, like Legare's, wes ia the elas? tics, and lt might bo truly said of him, in tho j Beautiful language of a college fricad, after? wards a congressional colleague and r ral as? pirant far high oifico, who had thc .sar j tastes with himselr, that he "drank deep ai il drjmk often of the precious waters of th uso virgiu fountains which were unlocked in Natures first kaown cycle." These studies, begun at home under tho tu? ition and example of hts father, were fostered and cultivated to the highest degreo when he enterad the South Caroline. College,- iong be? fore and long afterward, the nursing .mo? ther of Southern statesmen aad orators, no unwilling or laggard pupil, but "conspicu? ous among the youths of high promise who I sat at the feet" of the great teacher who tiien enunciated, with consummate ability aud sin? gular force, doctrines of political economy and Sie philosophy of government which took deep root la South Cai ollaa. Thoma- Coop? er's political life was one cont inned struggle against ali forms of political tyranny and cen tralizatlou; and lectures which, coming from the masters ol cloistered colleges, might have been considered theoretli al abstractions, be? came concrete realities, when life was breathed into thom from i .'.:? personal experi? ence of the master "who hf j spoken history, acted history, lived history;" who had been prosecuted for his political course by the Bri? tish Crown and the administration of tbe el? der Adams; who had canvassed the most ex? citable voters oa earth In a contested race with Egalit? Orleans for a scat la the convention during the carnival ot tho French revolution ot' 1789. And ou no subject was Dr. Cooper's in? tellect more vigorously exercised than on the fundamental principies Involving tho relation which the States boro to thc Federal Govern? ment of the American Uulon, and which un? derlay the distinction between that party which advocated a strong centra! ized autloo al government, aud that which advocated toe sovereignty of the States-tho sover? eignty of the Stales, now scarce mention? ed save In derision, except as wo hear of lt after the ground swell or the great strug? gle of arms In the exhaustive argument of Alexander Stephens, or a brief vigorous letter from Barnwell Rhett, reminding us of the spi? rit and the days when calida juutnta he wrote the Colleton address. Mr. Pickens' position on these great questions, and iu the grer.? struggle first of opinion and then of arm.) to which" they lcd, was taken then, early in Ufe, while a college boy; aad thenceforward, to the day of his death, he never swerved or wavered from that position; and though 1rs armed ad . hers its went to the wall, and Ks tlag went * down on the red field of bartle, "With not a man to waro if, And not a sword to save lt;" though what ho bad regarded as sovereign States, among them nts beloved Carolina, were given as provinces to pro-conbt:ls. and the dire result of arms proclaimed that lie and his great compeers would be portrayed in the colors of "The Gracchi of tho Patriciaus, and not the Gracchi of the people." he ever malataiued tho same position, through evil a? weil os good ??port, and denied to the hst. a? the great eroic B}lnd over has dono aud over wilt do, 'that might makes right.*1 Jo bim the abandonment of tho doctrines and dogmas of the States Rights strict con? struction party would have been worse than political apostacy-lt would have been sacri? lege, for :o him thc sovereignty of the State was not an abstraction or a theory-lt was a creed, a religion. So early and so deep! v was he imbued with principles ut tho States Rights parry, that while in college be wrote several . articles under the signature of "Svdney" for tba Charleston Mercury, than under thu edito? rial auspices of the gifted Henry L. Pincknev. These articles look the highest ground, assert? ed the separate sovereignty of the States, their rights In their sovereign capacity to nul? lify an unconstitutional act ol'Congress, to re Ueve their citizens from lu operation, and to open their ports ia defiance or the restrictions of an unconstitutional and oppressive tariff. These articles excited the greatest Interest, and their authorship was ascribed by tbe Na? tional Intelfigencer of that day to a committee ?iydlsrljiffiilsiisd Carolinians, supposed to con? sist of Huyne, itcDuSBe and Hamilton. Be wa? adrah tod to the Bar ; a ls:*, and was elected to the Lower House of the South Caro? lina Legislature In 1832, where his speeches i elicited the warmest encomiums (dcepll differences on the exciting topics dlsi from Hugh S. Legare, then Minister 1 sels, his first speech being made at the 1 of Wm. C. Preston, on the latter's reso responsive to Jackson's famous prc Uon on tho Nullification Imbroglio. H baoame chairman of the Committee on al Relations, and of the Committee on dietary ; ami In the former capacity np well known report on the oath to be prei to officers, a subject which gave rls< muon excitement, politically and Jud?ela lu 1834, when twenty-six years of s was elected to Congress, ai successor McDuffie, and at once toole high rank speech he delivered on our relations France. A lady of wit and fashion at th? j tal, who had been accustomed to hear h decessor and the other great orators frc [ State, but who now heard Mr. Plckcns I first time, at the conclusion of his n speech in Congress, asked " If lt were true, that orators grew spontaneous lu Carolina " He and Governor Hammond, thea i member of tho House of Representative concert, objected to the reception of ab< petitions, which the House had been reci and referring to the Committee on the D of Columbia, and In January, 1836, he dt ed, on Governor Wife's resolution on tha Ject, one of the first arguments ever mt Congress against thc constitutional pov the government to abolish slavery In th trlct of Columbia, and forcibly portrayc power of the abolitionists amid eonfll political parties, and the causes which \ inevitably Increase that power, and dc struted that ?rom holding the balance of \ they would finally control the destinies c government. "ft la ot no avail," said h close our eyes to passing events around this country and In Europe Everything claims that, sooner or later, we shall ha meet the strong and the powerful, and tend over the tombs of our fathers for our secrated hearthstones and household j or abandon our country to become a l colony, and -seek tor ourselves a refuge 1 wilderness of the West. It ls in vain to i the contest." How significant are these dictions of 1826, when read by the light o Presidential canjuiss of 1860, and the glare of all that ls followed In Its wake ! His sp -ech on the Fortification bill, In* 1836, attracted much attention from the ' rous exposition of the real nature ot changes going on in the government, w he contended were virtual ?It?rations ol nature of the government Itself. At thh it has a hl<-h additional value from its pr Hons, since realized, as to the changos w would be produced In naval warfare uv th< plication of steam power. During the s year he was among the first who advoc the Independence of Texas, In opposltlo tho views expressed by <K>vernor McDt and others ot the dominant party lu Si Carolina aud elsewhere; and In 1837 made of tho first speeches lu Congress lu tart the Independent treasury scheme. A series of speeches delivered by him f I this timo to 1811, on the relation of the ? I eminent of banks aud the hanking svsi ' and on the subject of exchanges, excited w aproad comment and admiration In the g commercial and financial centres of the Un and may bo read at this day with pleasure profit. "The report made by him as chain ol the Committee on Foreign Relations 1840, on the burning of the steamboat Carol and the demand made by the British Mini for McLeod, exhibited his views of our rb t relations, md created a sensation both I and In Euglnnd. He continued In Congress, an active par pant in all leading debates, till tho 4th MRI 1843, when he was elected to fill tho ut pu eil term of Major Jeter iu the State Senal He was a member of tho state Conventloi 1R.Y_\ and drew Its ordinance affirming right of secession, reported by a comnili composed of Chancellor Wardlaw, Robert Barnwell and himself. Ou the election of Mr. Buchanan lo Presldeacy. he accepted tho mission to Petersburg, having previously declined mission to France, tendered him bv Presld Tyler, and the mission to England, tende lila by President Polk.

But his heart, amid all th? ostentation a gnlety of diplomatic life, wai with his hoi and people lu tho sunny South ; and the Jo .Drown raid, lue disruption of the Democru party under the bold lead ot Yancey, in whl party Mr. Pick ens had long thought vms t last hope ol a Constitutional Union, and the i creasing excitement of domestic politics admo Unod all whu blleved with him t hat :helr p mary allegiance was due to their State and n to tho Federal Government ; that the prolog which had lasted for thirty years was baste int," rapidly to Its closu ; that the black curta which had shut down like a pall between tl scer-llke eyes of Calhoun and the future w about to be ral#wl upon the first scene of tl grand drama whose denouement no mort could ioreteli ; that the conflict of opinloi which had descended from Jefferson and Hat Uton to Calhoun and Webster, to Plckens ai Fessenden, was now being debated for tho Ia time as a conflict of opinion between Wlgfi and Johnson; and that beyond the Atlantic wi no placo for them whose soJemu dnty and hly privilege lt wa* to be whore. If other confll? succeeded the conflict of opinion, they cou meet their enemy at the gate -he resigne his position as Minister to Russia, carno I Washington, settled his accouuts with th department, and reached Carolina amid Hi excitement which prevailed in Novembei 1860. The times were darkening, and evAnts, mor unmistakable than tfieflitid beating of tho put lie pulse, proclaimed In tones too audible t bo misunderstood, that those who had lui I been chosen by the people of Carolina to selec a lit occupant for the Executive chair, wer called upon to make that selection under cir enmstauces mont momentous, and at a tim more big with fute, limn hud ever tallen to tin lot ot the representatives uf thu people Names of good men and true-, of civil am militar}' fame, of national as well aa State repu tatton, were presented, but the loud voice o ?iopular acclaim, on the 16th December, 1860 bur days before the State formally sunder ed the bonds which bound her to the Amerl can Union, waited the returned ministe from Russia Into that high offloe which thei required (or the discharge of Its hercu lean duties and responsibilities faculties uo second to those which. In times almos1 as dork and perUlous, had vindicated thc claims of John Rutledge and Robert Y. Haynt to the same exalted position. How the solemn trust confided to hun was executed-how wet -how wisely-how firmly-how dauntlessly wlth what ceaseless vigilance for thc honot and lutereata ot the grand old Commonwealth -with what earnest desire for peace-with what vigorous preparation for war-with what nerve, when honor called for tue decisive shot at the "Star of the West"-with what udell;y to the sister States who had allied their for? tunes, for better or worse, with South Caroli? na, who, single-handed and alone, lu defence of her principles, had stepped Into the feartnl arena-ls lt not written In thu record ot the eventful two years during which beheld the helm ot'the State of South Carollua? Thal record can nevor perish 1 And whatever may be the fate of South Carolina, tho uaroo of Francis Wilkinwou Plckens will bo forever and aye entwined with thc decisive Initiatory steps which she took In armed defence of those principles of free government and theories of Slates rights, for which he had contended with unswerv? ing fidelity from youth to age; for lt was bis fortune as her Executive chief to Illustrate in action her opinions and creed, at a time amt under circumstances, which can nercr be for gotten. The views which Governor Piekens pressed upon the Confederate Covcrumeut us to the mauaeeracnt ot its foreign relations, differing so widely from those which the Rich? mond Cabinet adopted, have not been and per? haps uever will bo published. Suffice lt to say that lils views were based upon an attentive study of our diplomatic history; upon tho r.c tual condltioti of tho foreign relations of the United States thou existing; upon his personal knowledge of the policy ol the different pow? ers, partially developed and partially fore? shadowed by the corps of able ambassadors ever present at the Russian Court, almost the headquarters of the diplomacy o? civilization, pod ?poa his profound and enlightened convic? tion that neither formal recognition nor moral aid could ba relit?! on at an early period of the gigantic struggle between the States from the Treat powers, whose favorable action was so confidently expected by the Contederatc Exe? cutive and the people of the South. In Ids opinion, no considerations based on the dimin? ished supply of that mighty plant "which keeps steam expanding, machinery In motion, and the lightning traversing thc wires," or any other material Interest likely to be seriously affected by tho war between the States, would bo found sufficiently potent, in tho brief time so generally supposed, to Induce the English or French Cabinet to Interfere for the repres? sion of the assaults made by tho spirit of the agc upon the Chinese wall maintained by the South agalast, the public opinion of the civil? ised world, the Areopagus of modern times. He thought that a wise direction of the Foreign relations of the Confederate Government would rather seek to Interest In its favor those great nations whom a similarity of Institutions might admonish thar, their Interests and fute, In that regard, were to a certain extent bound up with the South. But Mis aliter Visum, and when long afterward views somewhat similar to those of Governor Plckens were presented to the Span? ish Secretary of Foreign Affairs, lt was too late. Ur. Seward had anticipated the Rich? mond Cabinet. During the administration of Governor Plckens there arose an excited con? troversy growing out of the continued exist? ence of the convention, the Executive Council and its acts, Involving questions as to the nature of sovereignty, the power of the Legis? latures calling conventions of tho people, and the power of those conventions when called and In existence, which had been discussed In the Nullification Convention and the Legisla? tures of that day, about which the doctors of the States Right parly had then differed, which had not been definitely settled, and which now, in the midst ot a raging war, awoke and stirred themselves from their Daedal couch. Arguments In favor of the legality ol the Coun? cil and lu acts were ably and elaborately pre? sented by Its advocates, and Governor Plckens ably, firmly and zealously defended bis views of the Executive prerogative, and the consti? tutional partition of powers betwoen the differ? ent departments ol the government. The voice of the people, as evinced In the fall elec? tions of 1862, and the acts of the Legislature then elected, was averse to what they regard? ed as an "imj>erium in imperio." But the ac? tion of the convention, providing tor the dis? solution of Itself and the council, soon with? drew thc question from the domain of practi? cal, to thai of speculative politics, and all ex? citement on the subject ceased. As a practi? cal question lt seems not probable that lt will speedily be resurrected again; as a specula? tive question "sub judice Hs esl." and ls likely so to remain. Governor Plckens. ot the expiration of his term of office, retired to private life, after two years of excitement which would have tried nerves of iron. From this retirement he emerged but once again Into public view as a member ot the Convention or 1865, called by Provisional Governor Perry, under President Johnson's reconstruction programme. He took a prominent part In the debates on some of the leading provisions of the constitution then adopted, and consistent and logical In his States Rights theories and principles to the last, moved and curried an ordinance for the repeal of the Secession ordinance nf 1860-the repeal affirming the past validity ofthat which ls re? pealed. After his retirement he returned, with the heartiness ol a boy let free from school, to ag? ricultural pursuits, thc favorito occupation of tho Caranna gentleman, for which he ever had a passion, but from which the tolls of public life had long debarred him, and he cnioyed to the last (what many who hnvo held hf h pub? lic station have not been so fortunate to pos? sess,) the esteem, respect and affection of his neighbors, and unbounded popularity among the people of his own district : a popularity based upon their regard a? well for his pure character aud moral worth, as his Intellectual endowments ; for though ever conn eons and atl'able, he eoutemned the fawning arts which sometimes avail demagogues on tho hustings and In popular canvasses, and with high and low "he bore without abuse the grand old name of gentleman." Edgewood, after tho long absence ol' its master, was again thrown open, and became, ns In former days, the abode of elegance, re? finement mid hospitality; I lie resort of wit. beauty and talent: and even after Its muster's f?rranos were shattered by the disastrous crash with which the Confederate Govern? ment nntl the property of the Routh fell, lt was still to thc visitors what lt ever had been -what Holland House wa* to the Whig coterie -the most delightful of houses. Tho serper tlne avenues ami tho pleasant grounds, the house over whose door might have been In? scribed, as over Eatl Cowper's, "iuunt cst" the library, th? palnlings, . the works ol' ort, .till remain. . Tho graceful and accomplished mistress who presided over all this lovely scene, and whoso smile was wont In happier days to light up us with magic Hie long galleries and dusky corri? dors, still remains-chastened, and in her widow's weeds. But the cordial grasp of the hand with which tho master ol'tho house greet? ed als guest: his genial welcome which com? bined courtly hospitality with rural abandon, his "kindness far moro admirable limn grace," which put tho humblest visitor at his ease these are no longer there; for that master to whom these belonged, alter a long and Ung?r lng Illness, cheered by all tho consolations of the Christian religion, Mcups quietly In the village churchyard. He has left " no son of bis succeeding" to perpetuate his name, but he has left contributions to debates on great occasions, speeches on viral subjects, striking addresses and important messages, the collection and publication of which would be his fittest memorial. It is due to history, to the State and to him. Aud Independent of what editors, biographers and collectors may do for his future tame, he has left much which ls indissolubly entwined with I be most exciting passages In the history of South Curolluv And what can never be forgotten. 'To her young sons, the model of a lire Mild In Its calm, majestic In Its strife; To her rich history, blocks of purest oro To her grand blazon, one proud quartering more."
