Tho Convention reassembled at seven o'clock, President Jami-on in the chair. Mr. Inglis offered a resolution that a Committee of members bo appointed to draft an ordinance suitablo to be adop ted by this Convention in order to accom plish the purpose of secession. Also, Resolved, That individual- members desirous of submitting for tho considera tion of the Convention any draft or scheme, bo requested to hand the same in without delay to tho said Committee. Resolved, That tho acts of tho General Assembly of this Stato providing for the assembling of this Convention, bo referred tothosamo Committee, with instructions to report thereon. Tho Chair named a Clerk, Messenger, and Doorkeeper. Ex-Governor Adams then introduced the Commissioners from Alabama and Mississippi. They were received with much applause in tho galleries. Mr. Elmore, of Alabama, then addres sed the Convention, and was followed by Mr. Hooker, of Mississippi. Both speeches were moderate, tho saoakcrs stating that they acted by the authority of thu Gover nors of their respective States in accor dance with tho desires of a majority of tho people. 'J he resolutions of Mr. Inglis were then voted on. The first was adopted yeas 157 ; no nays. On tho second resolution Mr. Gadsbury moved to fill up tho blank with twenty-one. Mr. Rhctt movid to amend by insert ing other matters for tho consideration of tho Committee which may bo presented to them. Mr. Barnwell Tho Committee will havo tho right to report on tho wholo sub ject. Everything should first bo submit ted to the Committee. Mr. Inglis Tho object will bo accom plished without the amendment. Mr. Rhctt That Committee can origi nate anything with itself; for instance, an address that comes from any ono of this body will havo a fair consideration. Mr. Choves Tho great aim aud object is to avoid every side of tho question in which there may be a division. We have proof this evening that there is but a single voice w'ithiu tho Stato of South Carolina. Tho business of the Convention will be expedited by confining it to seces sion. Our first aim is to break tho chain of this Union. Tho next point will bo to study tho direction. Mr. Ilaync Tho proposition, as I un doristaud it, is that a Committee of twenty one shall bo appointed, to tako into con sideration tho variou3 measures that may be introduced for the consideration of this Convention ; that they shall receive all schemes, from whatever quarter they may come, and shall havo tho privilogo to do whatever pertains to tho business of the Convention, with a view of recommending to this Convention whatsoever action they may sco proper to for its consideration or proposition for discussion. So far as our separation is concerned, Mmply tho scccs sion of South Caroliua from tho present Government, I tako it that there has been a sufficient expression of opinion hero upon this occasion to guido that Committee. Secession is a subject upon which all a greo unanimously. Let tho Uomuiittco bo composed greater intellect. Mr. Brady Let thero bo scparato work committee I Mr. Gregg said committees won) ap pointed to expodito business. They wcro necessary to prevent tho Convontion from becoming a debating society. Ho advo cated tho amendment. Mr. Ward moved to amend by making tho Committeo consist of seven. Mr. Wardlaw moved for twenty ono members. Mr. Ward's motion was carried, and tho resolution adopted. Mr. Manigantt offered a resolution cam ostly requesting tho Commissioners from Alabama and Mississippi to meet tho Con vention at Charleston. Carried. Mr. Popo moved tho thanks of the Con vention to tho Baptist denomination for tho uso of their building. Carried. Tho credentials of tho Commissioners wcro ordered to bo spread on tho minutes. Mr. Kcitt then moved that tho Conven tion adjourn. Agreed to. And at 10. 22 tho Convention stood ad journed to meet at Charleston to-morrow. Adjournment of the Legislature The Small-Pox.
