The Late Judge Cameron.
An incident in the life of the late
Judge Duncan Cameron, which, per
haps, is now forgotten, even by the few
survivors who witnessed it, is so much
in character with the whole life of that
distinguished gentleman, and so much
out of character with" the customs of
this day, that its publication, though
it may have no. power to teach, yet
will likely astonish the present age.
Mr. Cameron, at an advanced age, was
chosen President of the Bank of the
State of North Carolina, at its organi
zation in 1834, and so continued till his
declining years rendered'him unable to
bear the heavy labors of the office. In
1849 be resolved to decline the office,
though he knew that the stockholders
ardently desired that he should still
continue to fill it ; and at a general meet-
ingof the stockholders, held in Jan
uary of that year, he communicated his
desire to the meeting through his friend,
the late Charles D. Hinton, who intro
duced to the meeting the following res
olutions :
1. ''Resolved, That the fidelity,, ability,
and indefatigable attention which have
been bestowed by the Honorable Dun
can Cameron upon the affairs of the
Bank of the State of' North Carolina,
during the long period which he has
presided over it, deserve the warmest
thanks of the stockholders and the
same are hereby tendered to him.
2nd. Resolved, That ; the'" stockhol
