sequences? If you mean to hold Fort Moultrie, I implore you to let the first shot come from the enemy. Burn that precept into your hearts, if you despise all else that I have written. But I would abandon it now, if demanded, putting it just as Anderson left it.--But no, it must be held, desperate as is the tenure, or we shall be called cowards. Fools may so call you — no wise man will. "It must end in a war," says one, "and we'd as well bring it on at once." It never will end in a war, if then-of-war, in attempting to enter our harbor, is brought to by the balls from our redoubts?

uitable apology for any disturbance of which he might have been the author, was discharged from detention, on motion of Mr. Hopkins, of Washington county. Mr. Staats wore a blue cockade, and applauded vociferously when the intelligence was received of the Star of the West having been fired into by the parties now in Fort Moultrie. The resolutions of Mr. Robertson, after further debate, were finally referred to a select committee, consisting of Messrs. Robertson, Yerby, Bass, Christian, Anderson, Magrader of Albemarle, Smith of Taylor, Witten and Newton, with power to sit immediately. On motion of Mr. Kemper, the House then proceeded to the consideration of the Convention bill; the first section of which was variously amended and debated. Further debate on the Convention bill was postponed, to allow the reading of a report from the select committee. Mr. Robertson, the chairman, presented the following series of resolutions as the result of the deliberations of the commit

ge only informed the Senate of what it had known days before, and threw all the responsibility on the Senate. He defended South Carolina, denied that any attempt was to be made on the District of Columbia, and ridiculed the idea of turning Washington into a camp. He denied the right of executing the laws by military force, and asked if judicial proceedings were to be superceded by drumhead law? Fort Sumter had been garrisoned contrary to the plighted faith of the Government, and while Major Anderson had only used his discretionary power, the movement was an act of hostility.--He denied the right of the government to garrison the forts in a harbor when the State objected. The constitutionality of secession was argued at length.

He ridiculed the idea of a constitutional monarchy, and concluded by saying that if the North did not want pe
