H iving been convened on an extrnordi

any ordinary subject of legislation. At
tho beginning of tho present Presidential
term, lour months ago, the functions of
tlio J-eiteral ovemmeni were found lo
Ik generally s'lspendod within the several
States of South Carolina. Oeorgia, Alaba

excepting only those of tho Post Olhce
Iippartment. Within theso Slates, the
forts, arsenals dockyards, custom house
and tho like, including tho movable and
stationary property in and aliojt them,
had been Seized nnd wort held in open
hostility to this Government, excepting
only forts Tickon. Taylor and Jefferson
