SOUTH CAROLINA.

1t is stated that the United States Marshal
for South Carolina, who has just resigned his
Office has made no returns of the results of the
late census; and that they have been suppressed.
II is not very difficult TO conjecture the reason
The census probably does not show any great
advance on the part of South Carolina within
the last ten years. Just now that she is setting
up as an Independent State, it might not
be expedient to publish to the world or
even to her own citizens, the precise
number of her white inhabitants the large excess
OF her negro population, or the small number of
white men in whom this negro property vests.
Probably, also, the statement of her taxable
property especially that part of it employed in
trade and manufactures, would not create any
very vivid impression as to the capacity Of South
Carolina to maintain an army and navy of her
own, or even to meet the interest on the money
she might find it convenient or expedient to
borrow.
Nor do the accounts from Charleston tend to
give much support to the idea so zeal5sly incul-
Gated by Barnwell Rhett and others that South
Carolina has only to declare her independence in
Oiutf sptculy 10 DtcOnho large manufacturer on
her own account. That could only be done by
the help of imported white labor. Neither the
number nor the skill of such mechanics as South
Carolina at present possesses is at all adequate 10
such an operation. But immigrant white labor
ers DO not seem just now to be looked upon with
much favor In order to prevent their
coming, an old and obsolete law has been
revived, requiring the owner Of vessels which
bring them to give heavy bonds that
they viii not become charge upon tho
parish. 1t may be said, indeed, that at present
South Carolina is in terror of Abolition emssa.
ries, and that this exclusion of white immigrants
has ITS origin in that alarm. But when will
South Carolina get over that terror, and when
VIII she cease TO regard white laborers as no.
thing but Abotionists in disguise We should
not be surprised if among the first laws she en-.
acts after the resumption of her sovereign indie.
pendence should be an act lOrbidding any white

FEDERAL CORRCIOY.

Some of the Washington correspondents tele-
graph that Mr.. Buchanan is attempting TO map
out a middle course in which 10 steer his bark
during the tempest which now how'll abont him.
He ia to condemn the asserted right of Secession,
but TO assert in the same breath that he Is OPP
posed to keeping State IN the Union by what
he calls Federal Coercion Now ", have no de-
sire to prevent Secession by Coercion, but W.
hold this posii.on e. be utterly unsupported by
law or reason.
MIR. Buchanan, o. President, bears httlo D
no relation to de States as States he is tn
| Chief Magistrate not Of any particular States,
but of the Union. His special ani paramount
| duty is that of taking care that the Laws are
duly and faithfully enforced and ohryrd. OF
| course, South Cardinals eOqucnCo ahd rhetoric,
her passion md pdde her armauonts and
threats are nothing 70 him so long as she re-
| trains from any actual resistance 10 ,bo Federal
authorities and laws. But let her undertake. to
stop the running Of mails through her territory,
and the collection Of the Federal revenues, and
the case woUld be gra'ey altered The President
could know n",aiug Of CarobHa IN the promises,
but he could not help dealing with gioiators
of the laws and dstlIbeTs vi the peace.
These he must overcome AID bring 10 justice,
without hesitation and without compromise. He
may recommend Convention, or a new Com
promises; he may even affirm the abstract Right
of Secession; Jet be has bat ono thing to
dO--respect and obey the laws himself aud call
Cd all others to 10 likewise, leaving all beyond
to the adjudication Of the proper tribunals.
There is Mt alternative. 10 ground for ambiguity
or hesitation. Whatever a Convention may Or
may not do the President has but course
open, and that We have Just pointed cut. The
fact that State has undertaken to put herself
out of the Union is nothing 10 him, unless be has
concluded 10 60 ont with bcr--to which extent
We feel sure that the ssncune expectations Of

Northern and Southern States. And yet the
politicians of the middle Slave States above
named do not hesitate 10 encourage the Disunion-
isle Of the extreme South TO persevere in their
reckless schemes, in the hope of using them as
an instrument for operating upon the fears OF
the Free.Labor States and the attachment OF
those States to the Union, and in that way
changing the relative strength Of political par
ties, and deprying the Republicans of the ma
jorities which they now possess.
The first fruits of this dangerous and desperate
policy are apparent in the commercial panic
which has 30 suddenly spread throughout the
country, followed up as it has been by the sus-
pension of SO many of the Southern Banks. 1t
IL possible, however that this panic, though
without any thanks TO the politicians who have
occasioned it, may politically have beneficial
effect. 1t may go good way toward disa-
busine the Southern mind of exaggerated notions
so much relied upon at the present moment,
that, financially speaking, the North is in the
power of the South. 1t will doubtless turn out
now as it always does in like cases, that in the
cGItailment of credits and the arrangement of
he currency, it is those vino receive credit, and
not those who give it, who are the greatest suf-

vents the Judges from receiving gifts from ina
yiduals or corporations, and that if the Supervise
or Common Council, independently tf any ac, :,
the Legislature, had undertaken 10 give iDcre,,..
annual compensation to the Judges, they eou,,
have done 80, for it is plain the constitution,
provision was intended TO be a mere RESTRICT.
/" of the Legislature only And 20 the Issy0A1
Judge concludes that the plaintiff cannot rseoy.,
because when he is paid by the Controller q tss
City of New-YOrk he is paid "by force and Al.
g thOrity of the Act of the Legislature"
But the Constitution says that I" the Judge. a
" the Court of Appeals and Justices of the 81.
preme Court shall seyerally receive at stated
times for their services compensation to he esaA
hshed By lar, which shall not be increased or d.
L" minished during their continuance IN Office
How, then, can they receive compensation no.
established by law, but paid at the mere 10.
stance of individuals or corporatiOns7 For the
compensation must be established BY law, and it
must neither be increased nor diminished. The
one requirement is as plain as the other, and the
latter is without any limitation as to the sourcs
from which the compensation may come.
And how could the Supervisors or the Common
Council appropriate money in this way without
the authority of an act Of the Legislature? The
money must be raised by tax, and the tax mus,
be authorized by an act of the Legislature. A
specific provision for this object would BY TIL,
decision, be void. Then surely any general one
having the same object would be equally so.

While the South is clamoring for the repeal Of
Northern Personal Liberty laws, the North j.
constantly reminded, by Outrages committed upon
unofiending persons, within her borders, that the
freedom of the citizen cannot be too carefully
guarded. A notable case in point is that OF the
cOlOred man, John Thomas, kidnapped the other
day in this city, confined in the United State.
Grand Jury Room, and conveyed to Virginia
without any warrant or process whatever. This
man, who by the act of his master in sending him
into Free State, is no longer slave but free
man, is boldly seized and borne off to Slavery
At the last adyices the man was in custody, at
Richmond, awaiting the arrival of his late master
from Kentucky. This is a case of which Mar

without a warrant, in the Grand Jury Room Of
the building which they occupy, aud as We learn
when the habeas corpus was applied Tor in bis
behalf, was hurried out Of the State by one Of
the Assistant United States Marshals This act
is in fagrant violation of the law of this State.
Whether the kidnapped man be free or slave. his
abductor bias committed crime punishable By
imprisonment at Sing Sing.
