! Thursday Morning, November q, 1850.
R@- OHr Circuit Coyft meets on next Monday
week, the Sd of December. The civil docket
we learn, is as usual small No criminal case
of note and only few trifing cases of assault
and battery on the criminal docket. We may
therefore anticipate short session.
In some of the Southern States consider
able excitement prevails in consequence of the
election to the Presidency of Abraham Lincoln,
the Republican nominee. Some indeed are talk
ing and avowing the determination of immedi-
ate secession; their reasons being based upon
the fact of the avowed determination of this
party, upon obtaining the power so to alter the
existing law Of the land as to bring to bear acts
which must materially injure the interests of the
South, if not totally destroy them-and the ad-
ditiona1 fact that they have succeeded in elect
ing their candidate upon such platform. The
question is now no longer one of speculation,
but one for action, and that immediate action
And yet the most important question is, as to

above, some are for immediate secession, even
before the inauguration Of Lincoln, and as they
say, thus prevent the exercise of such laws as
may be enacted by the Republican party in
Congress upon themselves, they being out ofth
Union already, consequently not amenable to
the laws of the United States. This seems at
present to be the state of affairs in South Caro-
lima.
That it is high time for the South to be up
and doing none will for moment deny, but
what should she do? We answer, in our hum
Die opinion, she should prepare for the worst
and await the issue. She should go to work on
her military bring them into the field; arm and
equip them drill and prepare them for service;
and at the same time publish to the North and
to the world that if certain threats are put in
execution, OF even the attempt be made to put
them into execution, we are no longer with you,
but independent of your government, your laws
or your power. Let the Objectionable threats
be set fortl-for example, the abolition Of slave
ry in the District of Columbia, the adjustment
Of the slave trade between the States, &c., &c.
And placing ourselves firmly upon this ground
s ~ to the North, ''thus far shalt thou come and
no further" Cross but this line and we strike
or tents no LONGER remaining in vour camp
The South has been too often deceived too
