The river ai tills point is about stationary, with
a lair prospect of a rise. There is a considerable
rise from the mouth up as far as Clarendon,
caused by the back water of the Ml .'is-dppi.

risen fully fifteen inches in the last forty-eight

feet.

SOUTH CAROLINA'S TRETARATlUNS.
—
The telegraph informs us. says The Louisv iile
Journal of the 14th. that the lion. A. G.
Magrath, Judge of the United States District
: Court of South Carolina, James Connor, the
Federal Attorney of the District, Win. F.
: Colcock, Collector of the port of Charleston,
have resigned their offices. We do not learn
whether the Marshal, 1). H. Hamilton, and
11. Y. Gray, the District Jerk, have done
likewise, but we presume they will f.ilovv
suit. These resignations are made volunta
rily, and. in our happy country, we have im
conscription or tyranieal power to compel
| men to hold office against [their will, though
! it is expected that every patriot will he will
1 ing to assume his .'hare of the responsibility. >
and labors of the government when called
upon. Jefferson has told us that office
should seek the mail and not the n: n the
office, and lie lues al o said that low office
holders die and none resign. The sago of
i Monticcllo must rest uneasily in his li.«ti *ri <1
i grave, when he finds that in the present day
| human nature is greedy after office as well
its tenacious in holding it. According to
modem theory the philosopher who said
"the post oi honor is the private station’’ was
?m ass iu intellect and tnd not understand
what ho was talking about.
Lut we have an interest in the effect which
them resignations may have. T he Courts of
: Justice must be kept open to enforce the laws;
j die District Attorn’es must remain at their
posts to draw up indictments for treason, and
| collectorsmu.-r exercise ail proper vigilance to
| collect the federal revenues for custi ms. for
; we shall have to pay j retty large bills for the
I wills tie we purchased iu the iluchauaii Ad
| ministration. It becomes h ghly important
I then lor the President to fiii these vacant es
: with all possible dtsc .tch, that public iuter
ay not suffer. Vi ill Mr. Daclianun sup

LINCOLN'S RECORD.
The election is over and Abraham Lincoln
has been chosen President for the next four
years, and it is well that the people of tiro
South should have a distinct understanding
as to what his recorded opinions are in rela
tion to the chief questions growing out of
slavery.
lu the debate with Mr. Douglas at Free
port. Illinois, on the 27th of August, 1800,
Mr. Lincoln, in reply to a question whether
he was in favor if an unconditional repeal
of the fugitive slave law, declared emphati
cally that lie was not then, and never had
been, in favor of its unconditional repeal.
W'e give his further remarks in his own lan
j gua e : “ 1 liacc u ver hesitated t<> say, and 1
da nut now hesitate to say. that 1 think, under
tfi Constitution of the t ailed States, the
.:/■ if the South’ rn States are entitled to
a 1 '■luijnssional fmjitice slat e law.'1 Of the
existing law lie said : / 1 think it should be
i framed so as to free it from some ot the ob
| jections that pertain to it, without lessening
j its efficiency.
In the same debate, Mr. Lincoln said: In
regird to the question whether l am opposed
to the admission of any more slave States into
die I'nion, 1 state to you very frankly, that I
would be exceedin'- v sorry ever to he put in
a position of having to pass upon that ques
tion. I should be exceedingly glad to know
that there would never be another slave State
admit, d into the I'nion; but 1 must add
lhar if slavery shall be kept out during the
Territorial existence, and the people shall,
j having a fair opportunity, and a clear held,
when they conic to adopt their constitution,
do so extraordinary a thing as to adopt a
slave constitution, 1 see no other alternative,
it’we own the country, but to admit them into
the i nion.
\\ ith regard to the abolition of slavery in
the District of Columbia, he said : *• i be
liu\e that Congress pios.-eses the constitutional
power to abolish it. Vet, as a member of
Congress, I should not, with my present
views, be in f.tvor of indmcoriuy to abolish
slavery in the District, unless on these condi
tions: First, that the abolition should be
hat it should be on a vote
! i Mho majority if the qualified voters of the
, Di-iri. t; and third, tha; compensation should
i be made to unwilling owners.”
| Mr. Lincoln, in replying to the iuterroga
i tory whether be wa > in favor of the abolition
j cif the intcr-State .-l ive trade, after confessing
i ha; he had nM farmed an opinion as to its
pro< led to say: '• It I
• should he of opinion that Congress does pos
m ss the coiistituti mal power to abolish tho
•Lve trade among the different States, i should
:,;ill not he in tavor ot the exercise of that
: power, ttnlc. s on some conservative principle,
as 1 conceive it. akin to what I have said in
relation to the ab litiou of slavery in tho
Listrict ot' Columbia.
