He was appointed by President <a href="/wiki/George_Washington" title="George Washington">George Washington</a> as the 2nd Director of the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Mint" title="United States Mint">United States Mint</a>, was a co-sponsor of the legislation that established the <a href="/wiki/South_Carolina_College" class="mw-redirect" title="South Carolina College">South Carolina College</a> which was to become the <a href="/wiki/University_of_South_Carolina" title="University of South Carolina">University of South Carolina</a> and was given the title of <a href="/wiki/Chancellor" title="Chancellor">Chancellor</a> as a justice of the SC <a href="/wiki/Court_of_equity" title="Court of equity">Equity Court</a>, also known as <a href="/wiki/Chancery_court" class="mw-redirect" title="Chancery court">chancery court</a>. In this capacity he wrote and codified much of the state's <a href="/wiki/Equity_law" class="mw-redirect" title="Equity law">equity law</a> still in use today. He served as Intendant (Mayor) of <a href="/wiki/Charleston,_South_Carolina" title="Charleston, South Carolina">Charleston</a> while his son, <a href="/wiki/William_F._De_Saussure" title="William F. De Saussure">William Ford de Saussure</a>, likewise, served as Intendant (Mayor) of <a href="/wiki/Columbia,_South_Carolina" title="Columbia, South Carolina">Columbia</a>, SC. </p><p>He was a principal investor in founding what was originally intended to be the city's Federalist leaning newspaper, the <i><a href="/wiki/Charleston_Courier" class="mw-redirect" title="Charleston Courier">Charleston Courier</a></i> in 1803. The newspaper still exists today as it was merged with others over the course of two centuries to become <i><a href="/wiki/The_Post_and_Courier" title="The Post and Courier">The Post and Courier</a></i>. As a sitting appellate court judge, his opinions on a variety of issues were widely published under a pseudonym, which was the custom then for public officials, particularly judges, who wished to express their views away from the bench. </p><p>He openly opposed <a href="/wiki/Nullification_(U.S._Constitution)" title="Nullification (U.S. Constitution)">Nullification</a> along with other leading South Carolinians. After the Federalist Party faded in the early 1820s, he was a voice for <a href="/wiki/Unionist_(United_States)" class="mw-redirect" title="Unionist (United States)">Unionist</a> moderation before a rising tide of <a href="/wiki/States_Rights" class="mw-redirect" title="States Rights">States Rights</a> supporters swept the stage of all others in South Carolina a generation later. Although deep political differences would eventually separate them, <a href="/wiki/John_C._Calhoun" title="John C. Calhoun">John C.
