Pinckney, the late intendant, (as we are glad in being favored so to call him), who is also the editor of the Charleston Mercury, the "great-gun" of the "nulli fying" nation of South Carolina, was a candidate for reelection. A little while ag, Mr. Pinckney, falling-in with the anti-radicals of South Carolina, went the "whole length" against the starched doctrines concerning staterights, and was a full-blooded "latitudinarian" on the subject of internal improvements-finding power in the constitution (as did all the chiefs of the anti-radicals), which we, with all our liberality, sometimes questioned. But, in the course of time, the "wind changed,"-"sharp corners were turned"—what was white became black, a camelion-like state of politics followed, and no persons are now so much objects of enmity to the late southern anti-radicals, as those who had generally thought with them-and would not, or could not, twist as they twisted.
