Joint Resolution passed by tn, Senate and House of
Commons this morning, we bg leave to inform you
that on yesterday you aslin elected Judge of
the Supreme Court of North tlrolina, by an almost
unanimous vote of both houss'of the General As
senibly.
We are instructed to requet you to accept that
high post Of honor and duty, to which your State
with voice has called you and to add another to
the long list of eminent services which it has been
your fortune to render to your country.
May we be permitted to say that though you can
not increase the measure of your fame, your State
hopes that you will continue and prolong the period
of your usefulness.
We cannot conclude this note without an assu-
of our happiness at the course the Legislature
has thought proper topursue, and an earnest appeal
that YOU will not decline the honor it has sought to
bestow.
We are, most sincerely, your friends

The African SIaye.Trade.

1t seems to be admitted that a cargo of slaves
from Africa have been landed upon the soil of Geor-
gia, and disposed Of When We first saw notice of
the transaction we thought it a hoax, intended to
move the tender sensbltes of portion of the Nor
thern people; but we now take it for granted from
what we see in the newspapers, that the negroes
hare been procured from Africa landed, and dis
posed of fl.
Some persons in the South entertain the opinion
that the law of the United States declaring the slave
trade piracy, is unconstitutional; and some of our
contemporaries are OF Tee opinion that the law has
been deliberately violated in this instance for the
purpose of testing its constitutionalty This solu-
ton of the motive of the importers of these slaves
strikes us as farfetched and unreasonable. The
penalty is heavy one and not likely to be incurred
simply with the view of settling question of con-
stitutional law. Gain, we apprehend, was ct the
bottom of it. and not disposition to test the law.
The people of the South nearly unanimously
opposed to the reopening Of this trade; and the
Northern people will not judge them justly if they
take it for granted that the action of this company
in Georgia receives their approval. Not that they
regard the slavetrade SINFUL for if the institution
itself be sanctioned by Holy Writ as we insist it is,
there can be little if any difference between holding
in and reducing to bondage; but they are opposed
to it mainly because they have enough slaves area-
dy, and because any general attempt to reopen it
would produce the most hurtful and dangerous agi-
tation in all portions of the Union The number of
our slaves is increasing and spreading out in the
South and Southwest at rate never before attained
by any servile laborins population. The acqusi-|
ton of Cuba which is certain and probably not very
far distant will add one million more to this popula
tion and present in itself large and most profta-
BILE extent of country for slave labor In the fulness
of time We will also have Central America and Mex
leo, thus adding still further to the of slave ter
ritory. What the times in which these acquisitions
will be made will bring forth, cannot now be fore
seen the slave-trade may be re-opened to some
tent to supply the demand for labor in that vast
gion, or the supply which will be furnished from
the present slavehoding States may be found sufi-
cent That day, we doubt not will take care of it.
SELF as past days have DONE
We trust, however, that the discussion growing
out Of this Georgia transaction may have some effect
in opening the eyes of the people of the United States
to the "entangling alliance in which they have in
volved themselves, by stipuating with Great Britain
to unite with her in maintaining ships Of war along
the coast Of Africa to prevent trading in slaves
The treaty binding the United States to this duty
should never have, been made Besides branding
the slave-trade as sin among nations, it has occa
stoned trouble already with Great Britain, and may

RALEIGH, Dec. 10th, 1853.

GENTLEMEN left home before your letter, infor-
ming me, officially, thst'I had been elected Judge
of the Supreme Court, and requesting me to accept
the high trust had arrived there; and l have just
u received it.
No event could have been more unexpected by
me, or have created more surprise. When, at an
advanced age and after long service, heretofore re-
signed seat in that Court it was with the sincere
desire of enjoying the repose and quetness of pri-
:at6 life; and thought had then laid down the
cares and responsibilities of office forever 1t would
not be sincere if were to conceal that it is painful
to find myself disappointed To give up my retire
ment is against my feelings and breaks up all my
plains for the short remnant of my life; and after
abandoning for six years the study of thelaw feel
and4 fear others will feel that at the age of seven
ty-one it is an act of rashness unsuitable to that
age, to undertake again the labors of the judicial
station, to which am called.
But it has pleased the General Assembly to tender
this renewed expression Of confidence in my dill
gcnce and fidelity, and in a manner which touches
my sensibtes most deeply: so that am led to
believe that in their opinion and in that of the
country, 1t is my duty to enter once more into the
puollc service. Under the circumstances also sup
pose IL TO- he obligatory on Inc to obey the commands
OF the Legislature. Therefore, as duty, forego
my own inellnatons aud accept the office bestowed
on me; and will endeavor with what impaired abil-
NY retain, to execute with my associates, its func-
IONS. return to the General Assembly the most
unieisned thanks and acknowledgements for the hon
or conferred on me; but, at the same time, under
!ake tne task with very great aifdence and entirely
IN u ueerence to the authority Of the public will.
!. Inc manner In which, gentlemen, you have made
inc communication to me- and the kind terms in
~hich you have expressed your hopes and wishes
ior my usefulness in Office lay me under great and
iasIlng @ opiigatlon to each of you individually.
