Perhaps the new organ, the 'Times or tho old 2&-organ, the 'Register,' may give us isome new revelation or fling out some thing upon which we miiy base '--an interpretation f the Governor's views upon this weighty ques tion. In the first place, Mr. M. is doubtful as to whether the people want the Convention or cot. Then the Governor goes on to say that the amend ments desired to the Constitution may be effected this way and that other way, and. has so many but.'s and if's in the way that it is clearly to be perceived he is not willing even at this late Jay the people should bo distinctly apprized of his pe -cMhar notions.

It is with great satisfaction then that we refer to to-days proceedings in the Senate. Hon. W. BShepard, that talented and indomi. table friend and advocate ol btates Kights, in- troduced into the Senate a series of Resolutions, which will be hailed with pleasure ny every, ineno of Southern and States Kights in ISorth Carolina. The sum and substance of the' first Resolution is as follows": ' ' , That this AsaembljToVtri explicitly and peremptorily declare, that it views the powers of the federal goVern- ment, as resulting from the compact, to which the Sttes are parties, as limited fey tha plain sense and intention of the instrument constituting that compact; as no farther valid than they are authorized by the grants enumerated in the compact; and that in case of a deliberate, palpable and dangerous exercise of other 'powers, not granted by the said compact, the States who are parties thereto, Lave the right, and are in daty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of tha evil.and for maintaining within their respective limits, th authoritis, rights and liberties appertaining to them." it win oeperceivca mai uiuauuveis one oi uie -ii i - r celebrated Resolutions of ;98 and '99, which, though often referred to somewmt flippantly, have never had their political wisdom successfully re ted, nor their States Rights tuths overthrown. u- is as clear as day-light, that all federal powers are derived from the Constitution, and that thre re sides in the federal government no powers jer set or inherent in the compact, that these powers have h delegated by the parties to the compact, ton central agent known as the federal government, H which agent can exercise no other powers :. "at consequently tho central, federal government or agent, transcends its powers, when, in the. Ian- ' . r . iiri guage of the resolutioo, it assumes the deliberate, palpable and dangerous exercise of otJter powers hot granted by the said compact. This is the spirit of the 98 and 99' resolutions : it is the charac ter of the prefatory ones introduced by Mr. Shep ard, and 'the same so ably and eloquently argued by Hon. G. W. Caldwell, on the hustings, not long before lie left for this place. We are happy ia being able to stare that the States Rights doc trine they contain will be strongly endorsed by the prefent Legislature. ! The remainder of Mr. Shepard's resolutions refer 1st, to' the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law, and resolves upon" the secession of North Carolina immediately in. the event of its repeal; give the South an equal participation in territories not already appropriated to Free Soil ; 3dly, to our right to contend for as far north as 42 deg., inasmuch as the free soil party had invaded the 36 30 line so far below it as 32. The resolutions were, upon Mr. S.'s motion, laid upon the table and ordered to-Be printed ; after they have ben printed they will- be 'called-up, when discussion Jvill ensue, and they ba referred to the Joint Slect J Uommmee upon biavery, vnicn,.:rom moiwu, consists xf Honoiables Wf BShepnrd and W Catdwell, nncf: Messrs.
