Mr. w G. DE Sanssure from the COMMITTEES on
Wsvs and Means reported back bill 10 postpone the
I'd section Of an act entitled act for the .1spensoo
of certain sections of certain act, raihed Deoe"n>s

IT. passage.
The question being on the amendments
Mr. Winsmh said he believed the object Of the bib
he the suspension of specie payments by me oanss.
and therefore desired that it's consideration should %
postponed and that il should be printed.
Mr. Yeadon explained that the bill would only sus-
Tend that portion OF the law which prohibited the
banks from issuing notes to greater amount thaa
three times their specie on hand
Mr.. W. G. DE Sassure also explained the provisions
of the bill and the amendments They suspended that
section Of the act Of 1857 which required the banks 70
have Of gold and silver in their vaults for the J
in circulation, and that portion OF the act OF *
VIII ch orbids the banks paving ont the bills OF Other
banks. II a wise measure in these revolutionary
times and, therefore the Committee had reported "a
with singular unanimity.
Mr. Mullins desired to place the banks in position
10 relieve the citizens OF any endorsements which
the action OF the State might possibly bring upon them
TIE measure before them would inspire confidence, and
would tend 10 prevent asuspension.
Mr.. Coffin had received letters from the heads %
banks urging this action. His business was with sell
ing the produce Of the State; and in 1857 when the
banks were trying to maintain specie payments tbs
result was that the value of the agricultural prodsotx

eved from the penalty placed upon them, the yslae Of
these products was greatly increased. The banks
were now again endeavoring to keep up specie pay
ments, and relief was absolutely necessary;
Mr.. Cunningham, not understanding the bill, was
DESTROYS of delay; but the bill being again explained
by Mr. Trenholm, he withdrew his objection, when tbs
bill was read a second time and cent to the Senate
Mr.. Simonton then introduced bis bill 10 PROVIDE
police for persons coming from States hostile 10 the
institutions Of the South; which was read rst time
and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
III provides that every white male resident Of States
where Slavery is prohibited, shall within twenty foqrs
after their arrival in this State if it is their intention
to remain three days or longer report their arrival 70
a magistrate in writing setting forth the States from
which they came their names occupations, their red
dences and their objects and fixing penalties for all
cases Of non compliance.
Mr. William Whaey-I hold in my hand a resoln-
ton which suppose will meet a cordial response from
every member OF this House. 1t is as follows:
eIolred That the resignation OF the Hon James Chesn 80
the Senators from the State Of South Caroins BE- 90
cepd and that what under other crcn.tanee would Be re-
srded matter Of regret Is ecoised a. an act OF 10Y
atty and devotion the sovereignty Of the State Of South Cs
lins
The resolution was adopted unanimously.
Mr. Aldrich, from the Committee on Federal Retz-
tons TO whom was referred the Senate bill TOR calling
Convention Of the people, reported the same bsna
with amendments, providing that the election snan
take place the 9th OF December next, and thai us
Convention shall meet the 18th OF the same month,
and with the recommendation that II do pass.
The question being on the amendments,
Mr. Black said he was willing TO 90 fOr the Con-
yentOn and with the State, but he was unwilling 70
make the change in the time for the election OF dee
gates and the meeting of the Convention. He prefer
red the Senate BILL for it afforded those who repre-
sented the back districts time to 90 before their con-
situents and inform them of the necessity Of the Sep
they were about TO take. II they had not thai TIME,
be was afraid they would send delegates opposed 70
going out of the Union He represented district thai
had never been behind in the defense Of their country,
and they would not be behind now, if they were prop
erly informed He would therefore that the voso
| be taken by Yeas and Nays.
Mr. Thompson regretted exceedingly that his young
| friends were in such hot haste. In 1851 he bad
the good or bad fortune TO go with those who were
opposed separate State action but he gave that vosS
with more pain than any vote he ever gave In his HE,
because he knew that large majority OF his fellow
| citizens did not 90 with him. II they showed any
great advantage TO be gained b. haste, old as he was
he would endeavor to keep up with his young friends
II they wanted TO defeat the measure, they would
carry this proposition, bnt if they wanted TO carry 81
through az he trusted in God they would they shosh
not adopt thett amendments. Wherever principle led
him he would CO. regardless OF outside pressure. Hc
would sooner vote for a resolution declaring South
Carolina outside of the Union than for these amend
ments He trusted therefore they would be rescued
from these hasty proceedings.
At tbis point, o clock having arrived,
Mr.. Winsmih called up the following resolutions,
which he had introduced Yesterday, and which were
made the special order for this hour:
Re'ord That this General Assembly satisfied that Abraham
Lincoln has already been elected President Of the United Sae
ayowed hostility to the social organization and peculiar Interest,"
of the slaveholding States Of this Confederscy
Resored That II Is the Of this General Assembly af
South Carolina ready 70 dissolve her connection vita &
hereby oei the cooperation Of her sister slAVehodns Ssss
Re.red That the Governor be requested forthwith to forward
copy Of the foregoing resolutions the Governor OF each h
may be submitted to their respective Legislatures.
Mr.. Winsmith said these resolutions demanded the
immediate action of the body for II was important tni1
they should at the earliest possible moment, announce
to their sister Southern States what their purposes and
opinions If South Carolina was ready to dissolve
this Union what man upon the floor would vote no 70
the resolutions? For himself he was ready, and had
been for years and had waited only until somebody
else got ready, II they passed these resolutions %
would embarrass the action OF the Legislature or
the Convention, in the course which they might see
proper take hereafter. He was opposed to sending
Commissioners 10 the other States for the experiences
of South Carolina had not been very satisfactory IN
| that particular.
Mr.. BUST moved that the House be discharged from
the further consideration Of the resolutions, and that
they be made the special order for oclOck pending
which,
Mr. Trenholm moved to amend the motions by max
ing them the special order for Monday al 2ociooS'
| pending which,
Mr.. Cunningham moved that they be laid on shs
| table; which latter motion agreed to. 49,
Mr.. Trenholms resolutions in relation 10 tne Gazing
of Convention, and the sending OF ComniS'ohos "a
| Georgia. were then called up; when
| Mr. Trenholm moved that the House be discharged
from their further consideration to-day and that they
