1--WE find in The Kent .Nivs of last
Saturday the following letter from Mr..
b. + MAY, Of this town.
To the Editor Of The Kent Ncma:
ELKroN, Oct. 6, 1851,
SIR:--As there appears to be some
misunderstanding about my vote in the
late Baltimore District Convention,
will briefly state my position then as
now. was called into that Conven.
lion to fill vacancy, and knew that the
Delegates from Cecil county were not
instructed to vote for any particular can
didate, and believed that Judge Cham
bers was fixed upon in the minds of the
people of our county, as the candidate
for the Court of Appeals---ln addition
to which he was my decided preference
for that post-and after he and Judge
Eccleston We're nominated in Conven-
tion-had each and every delegate from
every county on the Eastern Shore of
Maryland, cast their votes for the latter,
would have given mine for Judge
Chambers.
And further, could | have then, or
could | now vote in Convention, in the
7th Judicial Circuit, would Just as de-
cidedly cast my vote for Judge Eccleston
as a candidate for the Circuit Court; and
any statement to the contrary, does the
parties concerned injustice.
Respectfully Yours, SC,
BENZ. F. MAY.
