Mr. William J. Best, the receiver of. the Mechanics and -Traders" Savings' Institution, was called t the chair, stated the object of the meeting and entered into a fall explanation of the dif ferent classes indebtedness of the Stat of North Carolina. Resolutions were passed U the effect that the new bonds would hear a rated in terest of uot less than six per eent. per annum, the coupons to be payable in New York and Raleigh', and to be receivable (or all Male taxes ana duea Another resolution was passed pledging the bond holders to accept a u!l settlement of their present claims at fitly cents on the dollar of the principal and interest. If the State should agree to these terms the funded debt, according to the state ment of the Chairman, would be 10,701 , GJ8. To carry out the object of ihe meeting, a committee of five persons were appointed to visit North Carolina and present the cae to the Governor and other ofS-eia of the State.. The -committee consists of Messrs. T. Banner, William Lncimis, W. G. Shattuck.T. Fonlke, and Edward Kevati, of IVterssurg, Va.; Mr. Best was afterwards added to- the com mittee. - Tbe amount of bounds, including inter' est, stated to be represented at the meet" ng, was over 82,500,000, or about one- eighth tbe entire recognized debt. The bonds which jt is proposed to con solidato are quoted to-day at about- Hi. for the old 6 per cent, aud 8 for the new. This proposed adjustment does not iu- elude the bonds issued by the railways and guaranteed by the State, which are worth to-day in tbe neighborhood of 53 cents on the dollar, nor Ibe bonds known as "special tar, which aro quotrd at 1 1 rtita mi the dollars - t the; FUTURE AND THE PAST.

But'flhe fact that the morrow's suu will rise upon us a free peo ple, living under a constitution and laws that are "within our own control, teaches a lesson that it is well rorth heeding, for it leaches us confidence in ourselves and til onr institutions., t or a i people who bav thus achieved their independence in the face of scch difficulties, the future' is full ot hope and cheer. In 186S our laws, like our Oonstifu lion, were imposed upon us, and their mandates executed by men, ' strangers to our soil, foreign to our mstiimious, and ignoraut and careless of our wants.

By his order the light of euffiage jwas granted or denied. By his order, seut from his headquarters in another State,' citizens of our State were arrested, tried and punished by mil itary tribunals, unknown to the laws of our State. By Uis order, and sent too by telegram, the highest officials in onr Stat, even the Governor himself, were removed rv i li i i ,ri)ai omce ana otners installed in tue;r . j i i- .i cc e stead; by his order the officers of cities, '-.
