ore cents. Mr. Calhoun--We have pulled a temple down that has been built three-quarters of a century. We must clear the rubbish away to reconstruct another. We are now houseless and homeless, and we must secure ourselves against storms. Mr. Dunkin--If that ordinance be passed things will go on in the Custom-house and Post-office exactly as now, until other arrangements can be made by this Convention. There is nothing in the Ordinance to affect the dignity, honor, and welfare of the Statle to have the same confiscated. Mr. Carroll--The present revenue would be continued till an act of the Legislature authorized otherwise. Mr. Brown--There is no longer communication with the Government from which we are just separated. Mr. Dunkin--The spirit of the ordinance must be temporarily sustained till we treat with the General Government.

The ordinance was taken up and passed by a unanimous vote of 169 members, at 1 1/4 o'clock. The following is a summary of the debate on the passage of the ordinance: Mr. Magrath--I think the special matter of the ordinance should be immediately considered. To my understanding there is no Collector of the Port nor Postmaster now within the limits of South Carolina. What you have done to-day has extinguished the authority of every man in South Carolina deriving authority from the General Government. I am in favor of this body making such provisional arrangements as may be necessary in the interval which may exist between this moment and the time when the Legisla

For carrying the mails let the present contracts be assumed by South Carolina instead of the United States. Mr. Rhett--This great revolution must go on with as little danger as possible to the country. By making the Federal agents ours, the machinery will move on. The Federal laws of taxation must not exist over us. I trust that the present system of taxation has fallen forever. Mr. Barnwell--We have seceded from the United States, and established our independence. We can't allow the United States to exercise authority over us any more. Let postal convenience be sacrificed if necessary. There never was any thing purchased worth having, unless it cost a sacrifice.

We have a great many laws on our statute books which were passed by the Governor and the Privy Council. Mr. Gregg--The Congressional laws for the collection of revenue are for the support of the Federal Government at Washington, and all our Post-office laws fall on our dissolution with 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. Things must for the present remain in statu quo, or confusion will arise. Mr. Hayne--Sudden action is injurious. Mr. Chesnut--Two questions are involved — power and duty. We must preserve our people, not only from inconveniences, but chaotic condition. We must revivify such laws as will best preserve us from calamities. As to duty, will you turn the

Is it necessary to maintain the fifteen to thirty per cent. duties imposed by the Congress of the United States? Should these duties continue to be levied our people will suffer a terrible calamity.

As to duty, will you turn the ship of State adrift? what will become of the officers? Mr. Maseyck--There is no duty for the Collector of the Port to do. The Post-office has been swept off. My opinion is that the present system of postal arrangements is a nuisance. The public can be better served by private parties between cities like Philnwell--We have seceded from the United States, and established our independence.

Doc. 3.--Declaration of causes which induced the, secession of South Carolina. The people of the State of South Carolina in Convention assembled, on the 2d (lay of April, A. D. 1852, declared that the frequent violations of the Constitution of the United States by the Federal Government, and its encroachments upon the reserved rights of the States, fully justified this State in their withdrawal from the Federal Union; but in deference to the opinions and wishes of the other Slaveholding States, she forbore at that time to exercise this right. Since that time these encroachments have continued to increase, and further for-bearance ceases to be a virtue. And now the State of South Carolina having resumed her separate and equal place among nations, deems it due to herself, to the remaining United states of America, and to the nations of the world, that she should declare the immediate causes which have led to this act. In the year 1765, that portion of the British Empire emb

And now the State of South Carolina having resumed her separate and equal place among nations, deems it due to herself, to the remaining United states of America, and to the nations of the world, that she should declare the immediate causes which have led to this act. In the year 1765, that portion of the British Empire embracing Great Britain undertook to make laws for the Government of that portion composed of the thirteen American Colonies. A struggle for the right of self-government ensued, which resulted, on the 4th of July, 1776, in a Declaration, by the Colonies, that they are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States; and that, as free and independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and
