Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Carey, Matthew 1760-1839 (search)
Carey, Matthew 1760-1839 Publicist; born in Dublin, Ireland, Jan. 28, 1760; learned the business of printer and bookseller, and at the age of seventeen wrote and published a pamphlet on duelling. This was soon followed by an address to the Roman Catholics in Ireland on their oppressions by the penal code. This was so seditious and inflammatory that he was compelled to fly to Paris, but returned to Ireland in the course of a year, where, in 1783, he edited the Freeman's journal, and established the Volunteer's journal. Because of a violent attack on Parliament, he was confined in Newgate Prison; and after his release he sailed for the United States, arriving in Philadelphia, Nov. 15, 1784. There he started the Pennsylvania Herald, the first newspaper in the country that gave accurate reports of legislative proceedings. He was always aggressive with his pen. He fought a duel with Colonel Oswald, editor of a rival newspaper. He married in 1791, and began business as a bookselle

ns was kept up all day. The next morning (13th) troops moved to assail the works, at their weakest point, in two columns, one led by General Pillow and the other by General Quitman. Pillow marched to Castle of Chapultepec. assail the works on the west side, while Quitman made a demonstration on the easterly part. Both columns were preceded by a strong party—that of Pillow by 250 of Worth's division, commanded by Captain McKenzie; and that of Quitman by the same number, commanded by Captain Carey. Each storming party was furnished with scaling-ladders. While the troops were advancing the American batteries kept up a continuous fire over their heads upon the works to prevent reinforcements reaching the Mexicans. Pillow's column bore the brunt of the battle. It first carried a redoubt, and drove the Mexicans from shelter to shelter. At length the ditch and the wall of the main work were reached; the scaling-ladders and fascines were brought up and planted by the storming parti

ons for the insurgents, desired to follow. They were taken before General Butler. He needed laborers in field-works which he was about to construct. Regarding these slaves, according to the laws of Virginia, as much the property of Colonel Mallory as his horses or his pistols, and as properly seizable as they, as aids in warfare, and which might be used against the National troops, These men are contraband of war, said Butler; set them at work. This order was scarcely announced before Major Carey, as agent of Colonel Mallory, and in charge of his property, appeared, wishing to know what the general intended to do with his runaways. I shall detain them as contraband of war, said the general; and they were held as such. Other slaves speedily came in. General Butler wrote to the Secretary of War, telling him what he had done, on the assumption that they were the property of an enemy of the republic used in warfare, and asking instructions. His course was approved by his governme

e Senator from Massachusetts as entitled to high respect. It is from the great father of the American system, honest Matthew Carey, no great friend, it is true, at this time, to Southern rights and Southern interests, but not the worst authority, oon the point in question. Speaking of the relative importance to the Union of the Southern and the Eastern States, Matthew Carey, in the sixth edition of his Olive branch (page 278), after exhibiting a number of statistical tables to show the decg to one or two documents which have fallen in my way since this debate began. I read, sir, from the Olive branch of Matthew Carey, in which are collected the actings and doings of the peace party of New England, during the continuance of the embar4, that with nearly $5,000,000 of specie in their vaults they had but $2,000,000 of bills in circulation. It is added by Carey that at this very time an extensive trade was carried on in British government bills, for which specie was sent to Canada

in Ireland, made it necessary for him to visit that country. Experience had painfully convinced him that theological controversy sometimes leads to personal animosity; and that few people were so open and direct in their mode of expressing hostility, as he himself was. Therefore, before going abroad, he took the precaution to ask letters from citizens of various classes and sects in Philadelphia; and he found no difficulty in obtaining them from the most respectable and distinguished. Matthew Carey, the well known philanthropist wrote as follows: As you are about to visit my native country, and have applied to me for a testimonial concerning your character, I cheerfully comply with your request. I have been well acquainted with you for about thirty-five years, and I can testify that, during the whole of that time, you have been a perfect pest to our Southern neighbors. A Southern gentleman could scarcely visit this city, without having his slave taken from him by your instrument

t in all movements for the advancement of education and agriculture. His style was remarkably pure and forcible. He was a strong advocate of free trade and wrote much in favor of it, having at one time had a controversy on the tariff with Mr. Matthew Carey, of Philadelphia. This correspondence was conducted in The Spirit of Seventy-Six, a paper published in Georgetown about 1811. Mr. Garnett wrote under the signature of Cornplanter, with which title many of Mr. Randolph's letters to Mr. Garntter to Mr. Garnett, written in 1811, Judge Henry St. George Tucker, Mr. Randolph's half-brother, expresses the opinion that Cornplanter and Matt Bramble are one and the same person, crediting to Mr. Garnett, Mr. Randolph's articles. In 1820 Mr. Carey published three letters on the present calamitous state of affairs, addressed to J. M.
