L. We learn from the Cambridge

1.-THE Convention for the Eastern
Shore which met in Easton re-atiirmed
the nomination of Judge Eccleston: for
Judge of the Court of Appeals. The
proceedings were harmonious, notwith-
standing an animated and exciting de-
oalc, and the delegates in favor Of Judge
Chambers parted with a determination
to give the nominee a jealous support.
judge Eccieston and Judge Jingle, are,
therefore, the candidates for the APPEL
late Judgeship from this shore. Some
boast that Judge II. will be elected, bat
on what grounds they make their calcu-
iatlons we are not aware. Il is not con-
tended that Judge 7. is better qualified
Tor the station than Judge L. and prob
ably no one acquainted with the two
would make such an assertion. Judge
e. is we'll known as a gentleman of
sound legal judgment, thorough knowl-
edge OF law, strict impartiality, amiabil-
ty Of disposition, and answering intcr.
rity. These traits eminentlv qualify
him for the important station of Judge
OF the Court of Appeals, to which tie
people Of this Shore will undoubtedly
elect him.-EoSton Gazette.
