Mr.. Miles moved that the Clerk tele-
graph to the members Of Congress at
Washington, Immediately.
Mr.. McGrath said: To my understand
ing, there is no Collector of the port, nor
Postmaster, now within the limits of

day, has extiuguished the authority Of ev-
cry man in South Carolina deriving his
authority from the General Government.
Mr.. Gregg said After South Caroli-

United States, are lis laws still of force
think not. All the laws of Congress

Mr.. Calhoun. We have pulled the
temple down that had been built three
quarters of century. We must clear the
rubbish away, and reconstruct another.
We are noc homeless and houseless, and
must secure OURSELVES from storms.
Mr. Duukin If the ordinance be rati-
fed, things will 60 on in the Custom
House, and Pos. Ofiice, exactly as now,
until other arrangements arc made by this
Convention. What is legal tender for
the payment of debts? Is it now the
gold aud silver of the United States? In
case Of the clearing aud entry of vessels,
we will be very liable TO have the same
