ence to the people, we must make some temporary arrangements to carry on the Government. Mr. Gregg--There is no law on the subject of the collection of the duties in South Carolina now. We have now accomplished the work after forty years. Mr. Hayne--The Congress of the United States is no longer our Government. It will be for our Legislature to say what laws of the United States shall be continued and what not. The simple act of secession does not abrogate all the laws. We have a great ith that Government. Mr. Miles--We have to deal with facts and stern realities. We must prevent confusion, anarchy, and the derangement of our Government affairs.

Gov. Hayne, of Carolina, in his late proclamation, inquires if that State was linked to the Union, in the iron bonds of a perpetual Union.

One link could not be severed from this chain, united in all its parts, without an entire dissolution of all the bonds of Union; and one State cannot dissolve the Union among all the States. Yet Carolina admits this to be the inevitable
