Chests are fully as good, if they do not surpass
any other chests that wo have ever seen. We
therefore recommend them to tho attention of all
persons who wish to supply thcmselvos with Iron

person to judge : At the time of the great tire, on
the 16th, we had two single fone ot them of your
manufacture Iron Chests, in which we gut our
valuable books, papers, notesy'and money. The
chests were exposed to tho samp heat for about
seven hours- and on being opened, your chest
was found to have preserved every thing- that had
been put into it, but of the contents of the other
chest, not a vestage was left unconsvmcJ. " '

ous to the election of Senators to Congress,
from Judge Gaston, declining to have his

regret the determination, which deprives
the State of SU services on'a more extend

Dear itin 1 had tho pleasure to receive on
Tuesday last your friendly arid very affection
ato letter of the 21st inst. It Js impossible
that I should not feel, ami that deeply, the
earnest tone in which vou urro unon me the
lequest Uiat 1 should permit myself to bo put
in nomination fur the appointment of a Sena
tor In Congress. As a manifestation of youf
attachment, and of the esteem and confidence
o. the great body of tho Vhigs of North Car
olina in whose behalf yon write, I bee both
Jou and them to bo assured, that I priaa It
ighly. 1 confess too that, although my mind
was fully made up before I received your; let
ter, and aitho' I had previously made known
this determination to other friends who had
addressed me on the subject, I feel embarrass
ment and paiu in being obliged to say to you,
that I must -decline a compliance with your
wisnes. i am apprehensive lest my coiwnct
should appear morose or tmcourteoti9 lest 1
should subject myself to the imputation of in
sensibility to kindness or of indifference to the
public welfare. Suffer me to say, that ither
ot these conclusions wonld bo unjust. ' " With
all my exertions to tame ddwn foelinff to the
standard of reason, I find my heart yit throli
bingat any indication of the favorable opinion
of my fellow-citizens, and thathcarf will have
wholly ceased to beat bofore I cease to take a
warm interest in the happiness of this glori
ous Union, and especially of our part of it
tho good Old Nortn State."
After so long a retirement from tho turmoils
of political life, to re-enter upon them, at my
years wouia prooamy off to sacriuc-my-finp-pincss,
and as I apprehend without obtaining
the only equivalent that can be offered for
sucn a sacnlice, tho consciousness of fulfilling
duty. - The situation which I now, hold front
the kindness of my fellow-citizens ha be
come perfectly agreeable to me.' " I find that
it suits my health, keeps my Intellectual pow
ers in "action without oves-burdpninir them,
. ... ......
ana gives mo leisure and relish for domestic
enjoyments and my ajrricul'ural pursoits. It
is a kind of Intermediate estata between the
bustle of temporal and the calm of eternal '-e x
istence, so congenial to the contemplative
character of age. It obtains for me wha t the
wise soldier of Charles the 5th when hore
signed his . commision declared necessary,
"M'quid temporis interes!CTdcbet mlam mortem
que. . z-'. 'l'r'r-z'-
Besides I bolieve that the faithful perform
ance of the duties of my present Office, is as
important to the public welfare as any services
which it would be in my power to render in
the political station to which you invito me.
To five a wholesome exposition of the Laws,
to settle the fluctuations and reconcile the
seemingty conflicting analogies of judicial de
cisions, to administer justice in the last resort
with a steady hand and fin upright purpose,'
appear to mo amorfg the highest of civil func
tions. And so long as Uod spares me health
and understanding to perform these faithfully,
how can I better serve my Country f.
iNow, my good friend, have the kindness
not only to allow the'iust weizht due to these
considerations, but to lay them before others
, i . . . '..,'.
wnose personal. paruaiity. may noiiiKe yours

particularly I beg of you to say to your fel
low-members from the West,' whom you re
present as peculiarly anxious to gird roe this
proof of the regard m which 1 am there held,
that no office which it is In the power' of the

knowledgements more fully or mors warmly
than the assurance they have thus rendered.
