the following article, for publication. We
would remind him that Capt. Maxwell has also
been named in connection with the Guberna-
torial office Col. Joshua Clayton, Il very

friends rs candidate to tho American Con-
Yentlon for nomination for the Office of Cover
nor. There have been already three names
announced for this honorable and important
| trust, 10 wit: Benjamin Burton, ESQ.,, of Sus-
SEX James S. Buckmaster, Esq. and Ex-
Governor Temple, of Kent and the name
of Colonel Clayton, of New Castle, will
make the fourth. They are gentlemen of
character, and command weight in their re-
spectve communities. | have heard it init

fall upon any Of the gentlemen above-named
as the standard-bearer, the party will give him
their hearty and undivided support. 1t is
gratifying to witness the spirit peryading the
