tires In recognizing the primary allegiance OF every
citizen to the State Of South Carolina the Federal OH
GERS in her limits NAV be subjected TO pecunary loss by
the forfeiture Of their official bonds If they should ten
der their designations and they not accepted And
il would be unjust for the State 10 require or permit the
patriotic Of her citizens TO involve them in heavy pc
cuniary losses which TO be the loss OF their en-
tire would, therefore, respectfully and earn
esty recommend that the State should indemnify them
for whatever losses they may sustain by an act so hon.
orable 10 themselves and indicative of such devotion TO
her WIN. II. GlST.
Mr. BUIs1 moved the following disposition of the Mes
sage:
that the citizens Of South Carolina who have held offices

der for the same hour.
Mr. RHErrs resolutions having been read, he said the
resolutions were framed thus to save time. They
tanned important points The day of election for,
and the day OF meeting Of the members OF the Conven
ton He had suggested November 22d in order that the
members might be home at election and argued the in
expediency Of delaying the Convention. He endeavored
show the moral effect Of prompt action. 1t would
change the issue in Southern States and the question
would no longer be of dsunion, but one of co-ope
ration IL would throw the secession question into Con-
gress and the Southern delegation would then be forced
take a stand at Prompitude also necessa-
ry that final steps might be taken before we have lost the
control Of our crops.
The resolutions were referred to Committee on Fede
raj Relations.
Mr. UCoNSER, of Charleston, offered a resolution that
81 900 600 be raised for and defence OF the State in

Nc. 0'CoNNER urged vehementy the immediate con-
sderaon of his resolution The State Treasury, he said,
was now empty. II was proposed TO prepare for
any emergency, however sudden or unexpected. The
revolution upon u.s. and delay should be made TO
put the State in condition to preserve her against as
sau and the overthrow Of her liberties. To such an
end the amount small and he was sure the people
would respond warmly and patro,cay to the appeal of

halfway They might lead to percious con-
sequences. He remembered the rebuke OF Roman
Senator upon his peopIe-"Catine is at the gates OF
Rome, and YOU deliberate" Let Lot similar rebuke be
visited upon by indignant people, By their infer
nal Vaccinations deuded cOunsels and their mischiey
Gus teachings our enemies had passed the threshold
pierced the Constitution penetrated into the sanctuary
Of American liberty where their exuant shouts Of end
ISL oy now mingled with the crumbling columns
aud broken arches of the Constitution and the Union.
Mr.. Yeadon, Of Charleston, said he was prepared to
vote for any expenditure necessary to the State and
meet the insolent foe that would dare attempt to invade
borders by land sea- but would move that the re-
solution be submitted TO the action of the Committee oil
WAYS and Means to report Oh as the more regular
course.
Mr. MCGowAN, of Abbeville, hoped the motion to re-
fer would prevail He for proceeding in the regular
way, aud opposed to any course which might look like
impulse or passion. lie not willing TO act in such
way might make il necessary TO take step backwards

port plan for raising the money and this plan would
have to come up in the shape OF bill The whole mat

Mr. B. J. JOHNSON, of Beaufort thought ought to be
referred that the Committee could indicate how the
amount to be raised He thought the burden ought
be put the poorer classes, but those whose
property jeopardized, and he wished this known
throughout the State.
Mr. Lucas Of Charleston, offered an amendment, ma
king four hundred thousand dollars aud moved it be
referred to the Committee on Military.
Mr. BoYLsroN, of Fairfield favored its reference to
the committee as we might want more or less than
million
Mr. READ, of Georgetown, coincidedin this view. The
disposition Of those who wished to have the money ap
prOprated by bill, was equally patriotic and Jealous in
action
Mr.. WHALEr, OF Charleston, preferred reference but
as the resolution introduced he would vote for i'm
mediate consideration rather than it might appear that
