The License Law.

Under this head, the Warrenton News has
the following noble remarks:
We perceive that a move has been made to
memorabilia the Legislature on the subject of
the liquor license law. 1t is thought by many
who have not connected themselves with the
''moral suasion'' advocates, in other words,
who have not become "S0ns," that the vel
fare Of the Commonwealth requires a modi-
fcation Of the present license system. This
effort, as we understand it, is not the peculiar
work of the Sons Of Temperance, but result
of public sentiment On thatsubjcct, entertain
ed by the community at large consequent
~, we find many very prominent men in diff
ferent places who GRO not and, pnrhapg, nav.
Ell will be connected with any Of the societies
of the day, giving to it their countenance and
aid.
We are pleased with the tone cf the memo.
rial, which contemplates no p~recipitate and
stringent enactment in opposition to the ma.
iority of the people, but on the contrary, asks
that whatever restrictions the Legislature
may see fit to lay upon the traffic in ardent
spirits, shall first be submitted to the people
for ratification at the ballot box. No man
who does not dread the decision Of enlighten
ed public sentiment, we think, can object tx
this.
The Goldsboro' New Era says
The memorial to the Legislature by tn,
good men, we hope, of all sorts and classes
but originated in the Grand Division, Sons
of Temperance, we heartily approve of, an
will give it our weight, influence, and atten
ton, to the utmost ofour power. The provie
ion that q majority ofthe people shall decid
the question, is purely republican, and can
not persisted successfully or Conscientious
by any party or sect.

Of North Carolina, nOr an session.
GENTLEMEN: l desire to retire to the walks of pri-
vate life. and therefore pray your honorable body to
accept the resignation of my place on the bench of
the Supreme Court. In surrendering this trust l
would wish to express my grateful sense of the con-
fdence and honor so often and so long bestowed on
me by the General Assembly. But L have no Ian
guage to do it suitably. / am very sensible that
they were far beyond my deserts, and that l have
made an Indifferent return of service. Yet l can
truly aver, that to the best of my ability l have ad-
ministered the law as l understood it, and to the
ends of suppressing crime and wrong and upholding
virtue, truth and right; aiming to give confidence to
honest men, and to confirm in all good citizens a
! love for our country and a sure trust in her laws and
magistrates. In my place l hope l have contributed
to those ends and / firmly believe that our law:
will, a 5 heretofore, be well executed, and our people
happy in the administration Of justice, honest anC
c~ontented as long as they keep, and only as Ions
as they keep, the independent and sound judiciar,
now established in the Constitution-which witt
all other blessings, l earnestly pray may be perpet
uated to the people of North Carolina.

Your most obliged and obt. servant,
