Every day now ie developing new phss in public affairs, aid to our wind thtae indlca t,ne are plain, that in a short eriod that laxly uiuit I called together again, in reference to llii' Momentous affairs ol' national concern. Our mind la now clear, that that body should , 1 1 li.-r remain in aeasiou ten or fifteen day lon )f r, or lake a recess lor thirty day, or rescind the order lor the adjourned acaiiion to meet the third Monday in August, leaving its re iisscin bling to the decision of the Governor and Coun cil. There ia a atmng reason why the members hould return home a short time to consult their constituency upon our Federal relation, though we are inclined to (relieve, that in the next ten daya public aeutiment will lie sufficiently dcvrl oped lor the legislature to act advisedly. North Carolina inorea alowly. She acta upon lier own convictiona of duly, w ithout r. t erence to the action of otht-ra, yet she should not le wholly inilitfereut to Uie acliun of others and cannot I. Time tor reflection and con ulUlloU upuil llu: .present ttatumf pulilic id lairs, in important, yet when the public mind it Convinced bow to act and that it mutt ai t, it cannot e done too promptly. Virginia ia evidently pondering her action deeply. Nearly a sufficient number of tin member of the Legislature have already signed a petition to the Governor, to call the Lcgida lura to meet at once, after the day fixed for ad j.iurnment, which, aa in our caae, ia the 4th of March. If a convention, tor the amendment of the .institution, in to he called in North Carolina, and this we regard la a foregone conclusion, w e have settled it in our own mind, that it i saf. at and heat tor the preservation ol order and quiet, that it he called in the regular and constitution al way, and not in any irregular, unauthorized ml revolutionary totiii, which might pontiil.lv le acceptable to tha ruling powers President's Veto. I p to-day, the public expt-ctaliou of I lie Presidential veto on the Sherman toll, hua not been gratified, and tha tulcgraph ami the preaa are alike ailcnl aa to thectuae. It is p"i lle he will send it in to-tnorrow. Should he ! teimiue to pocket the hill and thua alanine the reaponaibility ot its defeat during the pn a.nl Congress'judging by the lights we now have-, we should deeply regret it. It ia a fair preaun.p tion, that the views of Mr. Johnson will pre vent hU giving it bia signature. But it ia equally clear, that ha ought to give to the world and to Congress bis reason for hi rc luasl, in lufBcicut time to allow that body to act upon bis veto, thus throwing the eutire re sponsibility of iu passage or defeat upon that IhhIj. Should the bill become a law by a two thirds vote over his veto, we conaider whatever may be the strength ol bis objections to it, he hnuld administer it fairly and promptly, until it is declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, j, It ia perfectly manileat that the power ol the government is In the bands of the Congress The North feels it as well as the South. The President as well aa the Supreme Court are in the power of that body, and bene we conclude, that all resistance to the power of the Congress it at so end, and that all available defence ol a ('institutional Krpublic in thia countrv, is futile. Deitratire Fire in Feyetteville. We are indebted to Meaara. Jamea (1. Cih.U ami D. O. McKae for the following particular of the flre, which occurred in Kayetteville on We.lnea.lay night laat.

And 1 desire inov in this presence, and as perhaps the last political act of my life, to denj the truth of the tacts recit. ,1 in the bill of the national Congress in a ju-titicat ion of the measure, and to make solemn piolc.-t against i im enactment.

This has not yet taken its lurew. ll .. us. I trust we may still look for relief, through ii return of the nation tn the good common sense and to the sentiment of justice and Invc nt fair denting, which char acterize the ruling elements of civ ilized Ms ie'y everywhere.
