APPENDIX I
Since this book was sent to press it has been suggested that
nothing is therein said of the English ancestry of Mr. Lowndes.
The omission was intentional, the writer conceiving that the
subject had been fully treated by George B. Chase, Esq., .of Boston, in
his " Lowndes of South Carolina," already mentioned.
As, however, the suggestion has been made, it may be as well
to quote from that book, so far as to say that the South Carolina family
is descended from that of " Lowndes of Overton," established in the county
of Chester since the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and itself a branch of "
the ancient family of Lowndes of Legh (or Lea) Hall, which received a
grant of arms in 1180."
From this stem of Legh Hall have sprung many branches in
different parts of England, members of which have emigrated to Maryland,
Virginia, and South Carolina.
Thomas Lowndes of Overton received in 1725 and 1726 from the
lords proprietors of South Carolina the grant of four " baronies " of
twelve thousand acres each, and the office of provost marshal, which last
he held by deputy, as he never came to this country.
The arms borne by Rawlins Lowndes, first governor of South
Carolina, in 1778, are the same as those of the families of Overton and
Bostock House, Chester.
APPENDIX II
By the kind permission
of Mr. Chase I have been enabled to use his account of Mr. Thomas
Lowndes's congressional career as follows: "In the autumn of 1800, a few
months after his father's death, having already served in the legislature
of the State, he (Mr. T. Lowndes) accepted from the Federal party the
nomination of representative from the Charleston district to the Seventh
Congress. He took his seat at the opening of the first session, on the 7th
December, 1801. On the next day he was appointed to the Committee of
Commerce and Manufactures, and was prominent from that time in the
discussions of the House. As early as December 14th, almost in the first
week of business, he spoke upon the resolution of inquiry into the conduct
of Mr. Pickering when Secretary of State, and he took part in an '
animated debate' as the National Intelligencer ' of that day, more
mindful for the dignity of Congress than are the public journals of our
own times, described in language somewhat euphuistic a stormy scene, so
often repeated afterwards on any sectional issue which occurred over an
amendment to the Apportionment Bill providing that Maryland should be
entitled to nine rather than eight representatives. The ' Intelligencer'
tells us that' a debate of utmost dilato-riness took place, much personal
recrimination, chiefly on account of delay on the one side and
precipitation on the other, were exchanged, which we think it our duty
entirely to suppress.'
"Mr. Lowndes, on 15th March, 1802, opened the debate on the
French Spoliation Claims, speaking in favor of their recognition, and
urging prompt measures for their settlement. Little could he, or any
statesman of that day, foresee the uncertainty of the legislation which
the history of this measure was in itself to illustrate. Reported formally
to Congress again and again by committees, it finally passed both houses
only to become void by the refusal of the Executive's approval, revived
and apparently not yet despaired of, these claims, now as old as the
century, have already outlived three generations of public men. At the end
of the long debate, in April, 1802, in the act providing for the
redemption of the entire public debt of the United States, Mr. Lowndes was
in the minority of nineteen members, all Federals, who voted against the
bill.
"Constant in attendance upon the House, he was earnest and
assiduous in committee, and though mingling often in debate, he was yet
able to contribute to the discussion something of value in fact and much
of weight in judgment, enforced as his sentiments always were by a natural
eloquence, which had been carefully cultivated under the sound opinion
then entertained by all educated men, who valued the study of oratory, not
as that of a graceful accomplishment, but as the mastery of an essential
influence and tested power over the emotions and conduct of men.
"He resumed his seat at the second session on 13th December,
1802. On 22d of that month he spoke in the discussion on the circulation
of gold coin, which, owing to the erroneous valuation put by the statute
upon the eagles and half eagles previously coined, below their metallic
worth, had led to their being everywhere hoarded. In the long debate on
6th January, 1803, on the cession by Spain of Louisiana to France, he was
early upon the floor, urging with force the proposed call upon the
Executive for the precise facts of the transaction which had been withheld
from Congress.
"Mr. Lowndes was re-chosen to the Eighth Congress, and took
his seat in the House on 29th October, 1803. He spoke on 6th and 8th of
the following December on the constitutional amendment relative to the
method of election of president and vice-president in favor of
postponement after the ensuing election, and again on 6th January, 1804,
in opposition to the proposed impeachment of Samuel Chase, a justice of
the Supreme Court, who was tried a few months later by the Senate and
acquitted.
"At their session of this year the legislature of South
Carolina had passed an act repealing all restrictions upon the importation
of slaves. The subject early attracted the attention of Congress, and on
Tuesday, 14th of February, as will be seen from the following extract from
the debates, the following motion by Mr. Bard, of Pennsylvania, was taken
into consideration in committee of the whole.
"Resolved, that a tax of ten dollars be imposed upon every
slave imported into any part of tie United States."
"On motion of Mr. Jackson, it was agreed to add after the
words United States, ' or their territories.'
"Mr. Lowndes: 'I will trespass a very short time upon the
attention of the House at this stage of the business, but as I have
objections to the resolution, it may be proper that I should state them
now. I will do so briefly, reserving to myself the privilege of giving my
opinion more at length when the bill is before the House, should the
resolution be adopted and a bill brought in. I am sorry, Mr. Speaker, to
find that the conduct of the legislature of South Carolina, in repealing
its law prohibitory of the importation of negroes, has excited so much
dissatisfaction and resentment as I find it has done with the greater part
of this House. If gentlemen will take a dispassionate review of the
circumstances under which the repeal was made, I think this
dissatisfaction and resentment will be removed, and I should indulge the
hope that this contemplated tax will not be imposed. Antecedent to the
adoption of the Constitution under which we now act, the legislature of
South Carolina passed an act prohibiting the importation of negroes from
Africa, and sanctioned it by severe penalties, I speak from
recollection, but I believe not less than the forfeiture of the negro and
a fine of one hundred pounds sterling for each brought into the State.
This act has been in force until it was repealed by the legislature at
their last session.
"The law was completely evaded, for in the last year or two
Africans were introduced into the country in numbers little short, I
believe, of what they would have been had the trade been a legal one.
Under the circumstances, sir, it appears to me to have been the duty of
the legislature to repeal the law, and remove from the eyes of the people
the spectacle of its authority daily violated.
"' I beg, sir, that from what I have said it may not be
inferred that I am friendly to a continuation of the slave trade. I wish
the time had arrived when Congress could legislate conclusively upon the
subject I should then have the satisfaction of uniting with the gentleman
from Pennsylvania who moved the resolution. Whenever it does arrive,
should I then have a seat in this House, I assure him I will cordially
support him in obtaining his object. But, Mr. Speaker, I cannot vote for
this resolution, because I am sure it is not calculated to promote the
object which it has in view. I am convinced that the tax of ten dollars
will not prevent the introduction into the country of a single slave. . .
. The gentleman from Pennsylvania, and those who think with him, ought,
above all others, to deprecate the passing of this resolution. It appears
to me to be directly calculated to defeat their own object, to give to
what they wish to discountenance a legislative sanction, and further, an
interest to the government to permit this trade after it might
constitutionally terminate it. When I say that I am myself unfriendly to
it, I do not wish, Mr. Speaker, to be misunderstood; I do not mean to
convey the idea that the people of the Southern States are universally
opposed to it I know the fact to be otherwise. Many of the people in the
Southern States feel an interest in it, and will yield it with reluctance.
Their interest will be strengthened by the immense accession of territory
to the United States by the cession of Louisiana. . . . My greatest
objection to this tax, Mr. Speaker, is that it will fall exclusively upon
the agriculture of the State of which I am one of the representatives.
However odious it may be to some gentlemen, and however desirous they may
be of discountenancing it, I think it must be evident that this tax will
not effect their object; that it will not be a discouragement to the
trade, nor will the introduction of a single African to the country be
prevented.
The only result will be that it will produce a revenue to
the government. I trust that no gentleman is desirous of establishing this
tax with a view to revenue. The State of South Carolina contributes as
largely to the revenue of the United States, for its population and
wealth, as any State in the Union. To impose a tax falling exclusively on
her agriculture would be the height of injustice, and I hope that the
representatives of the landed interest of the nation will resist every
measure, however general in its appearance, a tendency of which is to lay
a partial and unequal tax upon agriculture.'
"Mr. Bedinger: ' The gentleman from South Carolina has so
fully expressed the opinions I entertain, I shall say but little. Every
one who knows my opinions on slavery may think it strange that I shall
give my vote against the resolution. There is no member on this floor more
inimical to slavery than I am, yet I am of opinion that the effect of the
present resolution, if adopted, will be injurious. I shall therefore vote
against it.'
"When on Friday, February 17th, the third day of the debate,
the House resumed the discussion of the bill, Mr. Lowndes rose, and after
a rapid review of the subject, moved that its further consideration be
postponed till the following December. By an amendment, the bill was set
down for the second Monday in March, and thus the same end was
accomplished, as the House did not sit on that day.
" Upon the issue of this debate, Mr. Benton remarks
(Abridgment of Debates, iii. p. 142) : ' To prevent an erroneous
impression being made upon the public by the above proceedings, it is
proper to remark that, during the whole discussion, not a single voice was
raised in defense of the act of the legislature of South Carolina,
allowing the importation of slaves, but that, on the contrary, while by
some of the speakers its immorality and impolicy were severely censured,
by all its existence was deprecated. A large number of those who voted for
the postponement advocated it on the express and sole ground that it would
give the legislature of South Carolina an opportunity, which they believed
would be embraced, to repeal the act'"Just three years later the question
was definitely settled by Congress. On the 13th of February, 1807, the
House passed the Senate Bill, prohibiting the importation of slaves by a
vote of one hundred and thirteen members in favor over five in opposition,
and this slender, indeed nominal, minority were members from both free
and slave States, who dissented only upon matters of detail, so that, as
Mr. Benton observes (Abridgment of Debates, iii. p. 519), ' the
prohibition of the trade may be deemed unanimous.
"Mr. Lowndes passed the summer at the North and in the
neighborhood of Philadelphia. He did not reach Washington till the 6th of
November following, after the second session of Congress had commenced,
and had thus not been in his place when the committees of the House were
appointed ; but a fortnight later, on the announcement of the resignation
of Mr. Samuel L. Mitchell, chairman of the Committee on Commerce, who had
been appointed by the legislature of New York a senator of the United
States, it was Ordered, 'That Mr. Lowndes be appointed chairman of the
Committee of Commerce and Manufactures" etc. He thus returned to his old
place on the committee to which he had been first appointed on his entry
to the House.
" He spoke for the last time in Congress on the 13th of
December against a bill to regulate and permit the clearance of private
armed vessels. His speech, though brief, was marked by the same quick,
ready, and logical reasoning which had always characterized his appearance
in debate. He left Washington on the 6th of March, 1805, and failing to
obtain his reelection to Congress on the general overthrow of the Federal
party in the South, retired to private life. He continued, however, a
steadfast adherent to the principles of his party, and earnestly supported
John Quincy Adams when nominated for thk presidency against Andrew
Jackson.
He often remarked, in allusion to the brilliant political
career of his Ibrother, William Lowndes, that coming as a Republican later
into public life than himself, his brother differed from him in no
essential principle of his political faith." See "Lowndes of South
Carolina," pages 18-22.
