JUDGE ELLIS. Judge Ellis, now presiding in the
Superior Court in this town, is quite young man
of men so young as he is to the Bench. If it be a
rule that it is improper to appoint young to the
high office of Judge, Mr.. Ellis is exception to the
rule, 80 far as we can learn. The best testimony
sustains for him the character of wise, just. and
what is of equal importance, humane Judge-so the
Legislature made selection fortunate for the jurdl-
cal interests of the State. We make these remarks
without any cue whatever, for lie is personally a
stranger and politically opposed to us. We simply
desire to be just to who gives bright promises In
the commencement of his WiL Gam.

The Scott demonstrations of Messrs. Mangum and
Stanly seem to have been received with any thing
but approval by the Wings of North Carolina. The
Fayetteville Observer (whig) talks right out fol-
lows:
{" We feel it but due to the Wing party of North
Carolina. to say, that, far know their senti-
ments, they will sustain the course of Mr.. Outlaw,
and that Of Mr.. Mangum, either in his favoring
the nomination of Gen. Scott in his opposing the
resolution of Mr.. Marshall. The Wings of North
Carolina unanimous for Mr.. Fillmore, and are
determined have non-committns can didate, sup
ported by SeaUard and has gang, especially at the
pense Of one who has served his country, and his
whole country, SO ably so faithfully and so dlsnte-
restedly, as Mr.. Fillmore has. The Southern Wings
would require pledge, platform, from Mr.. Fill
more Mr.. Webster, for both have given the world
than words in of their faithful
But the candidate Of the SeUards cannot erpect
such confidence. We forbear to say more We could
not say less"
The Wilmington Herald (whig) avows it's entire
concurrence in the above and has no hesitation in
decarng' its decided conviction that Scott cannot
carry North Carolina, without satisfactory enuncia-
ton upon the Compromise" The same paper says,
that the Wing voters of orth Carolina want " some
thing more'' than Lundy's Lane, Vera Cruz, Cerro
Gordo, and Chapuepec,'' and the guarantees of a
life spent in the service of the country - and it ad
dresses to its Wing brethren of North Carolina the
following decided interrogatory
- In these days when sectionalism runs riot over
the land, will you require at this hero candidate
hands the enuncation of principle the sanction of
pledge, resist with Constitutional means. the
progress OF that agitation so fraught with danger 10
