The EXCITEMENT IN SoUTH CAROLINA
In South Carolina the excitement does not
abate. The Columbia Guardian, referring
to the action of the Senate calling a Com
vention, says: " This, as we have said be-
fore, is the first step, and we do not doubt
but that the House will promptly concur
The next IS TO make ample provision for
arming the State. These measures will
convince not only the Northern States, that
South Carolina is in earnest, but will give
assurance to our sister Southern States that
the time has come for action. The inter
val, whatever it may be, between now and
the assembling OF the Convention, should
be devoted to the earnest purpose of unit
ing the people of the State. We believe
there is little division of sentiment among
them; nevertheless, information should be
disseminated, and the work of preparation
thoroughly persevercd in, SO that when the
State resumes her sovereignty there will be
little commotiOn or division among her
citizens. The varied interests in our State,
banking, financial, and commercial, should
be prepared for the change, so that the usual
business facilities 20 the people may not be
interrupted or interfcred with in any degree
Let it be fully known and understood that
the State will act in the way indicated, and
the transition from our present state of no
litical anxiety, on account of our prospec-
tive disconnectiOn with the Federal Gov
erument, to that of noble and glorious
independence, will scarcely be felt. The
work of deliverauce has commenced, and
the people OF South Carolina will take no
steps backwards

say~ The New York Evening Post il

BaE~ The New York Evening Post, in
the following paragraph, perhaps uncon-
sciously, reminds the Southern States which
expect TO remain in the Union-even if
South Carolina should temporarily secede-
Of n political rs well as a cica interest which
they possess in seeking to dissuade the peo-
pie of the Palmetto State from any such
disorganizing procedure
"The Democratic prints are rejoicing
that the majority of the next Congress will
be opposed in political sentiment to the new
Administration. But in this calculation they
forget that South Carolina and Alabama
threaten to withdraw from the Union. OF
course in that event their Senators and
Representatives will be withdrawn. But
with the loss OF these the Republicans will
regain the ascendency in both branches OF
the National Legislature"

DEFEAT OF THE MARYLAND FREE NEGRO
LAw.-While South Carolina, Arkansas,
and other Southern States have compelled
their free colored inhabitants to choose
either slavery or flight, Mary land has just
shown her hatred of the oppression Of this
unfortunate class. In all the counties Of
the State, from which we have received re-
turns, in which the act for the enslavement
of free negroes was submitted to the people,
the voters have emphatically and signally
denounced that unjust and unchriStian law.
The question has been met and decided
without any reference to party politics, and
the law is defeated by majorities amounting
almost to unanimity. The result is greatly
creditable to the counties in which the vote
WAS taken, and honorable to the State at
large.

aGa-The following embodies the Louis
Vile Democrats idea of the selfshness that
characteriZes the Secessionists in their mad
attempts to dissolve the Union
The chief captains in this secession move
meut have reasons more substantial. The
politicians think they can be more in a
Southern Confederacy than they can be in
the Union. Others think their seaport
towns Will be the great marts of trade which
now goes principally to Northern ports
They think slave labor can be had cheaper,
while the price of their great staple will be
enhanced. They dream OF getting Mexico,
and Cuba, and Central America, and build
ing up great Southern Confederacy. They
have dwelt on the prospects until it is quite
enchanting, These border slave States are
to play a secondary part in this grand
achievement, and take care of themselves
as best they can, whilst South Carolina
politicians are gIorifed to the full measure
of their conceit. Charleston is to be the
New York of the South, and Louisville is to
be little frontier town, exposed to all the
evils Of such locality. kentucky is to be
subseryient to the ambition Of South Caro-
lima and play second fiddle to the whole
movement Let the border States, then,
take care of themselves, for their interests
will not lee considered by the extremes.

Another Dred Scott Decision Coming


Another Dred Scott Decision Coming
SO0n.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5--It has been asked
whether the United States Supreme Court
will not adiUdicate the pending Territorial
question-that is, the right OF the Terrific
rial Legislature TO exclude Slavery In the
Dred Scott case, the Chief Justice gave his
opinion to the effect that the Territory, as
Il creature of Congress, could not do what
Congress could not do. But Il case has
arisen ,rIdch 1riH Jrinq that oartculaT question
directly bcfore the Court Ior decision. 1t
will involve the distinct question of the
right of Territory to exclude or abolish
Slavery. Should the Court decide that the
Territory cannot exercise this power in a
particular case, the Territorial authorities
must he bound by it; and if in any case the
processes of the Court should be resisted, the
United States Marshal must be supported
to any extent by the Executive of the Unit
cd States. The case which | refer to is TO
come from Kansas. The Territorial guess
tion may perhaps thus be settled by the ad-
mission of Kansas, and by the expected de-
cision Of the Supreme Court.
