Judge GoldsborOugh at Home.

The Edston Gazette, the Republican Or
gan of Judge Goldsborough's own county
and town, in an able and excellent tempered
article, in last weeks issue, takes ground
against the Judges course and urges
strongly the duty of every Republican to
support Mr.. Torbert. We quote from the
Gazetts's article as follows:
The contest has narrowed down to that
point which renders it no longer contest
between men, but it is now a question of
principle, and that of vital Importance
1t is no longer a contest between Mr.. Tor
bert and Mr.. Goldsborough-it is a con-
test between Republicanism and DOM
ocracy. Republicans, which will you
choose? AS to the delegates from Queen
Anne's county not being present at the
time the nomination was made, we cannot
consider that as sufficient for all this opposi-
ton at SO late an hour. 1t is fact that
Messrs. Torbert and Gsldsborough were
both aspirants to the nomination and their
respective friends worked assidously to ac-
complish their object, consequently when
ever an opportunity offered, it was made
use of, but the absence Of these delegates
was no fault of Mr.. Torbert or his friends
Goldsborough's friends did not make their
arrival, sure it ought not to be expected
that the advocates of Mr.. Torbcrt were
going to make up their deficiency; and
Judge Goldsborough, in his letter of last
Saturday, did himself more harm, by far,
than the convention did Or all else that has
been said about him could possibly do
His letter is food for the Democracy, and
they gulp it down as sweet morsel. We
think whenever the appointed time for
convention to convene arrives, that it is
the duty of those present, if there be a
quorum, to enter upon the business for
which they assembled. For doing this we
have no word of censure, for in the case of
the county meeting, which assembled in
Easton, to nominate delegates to the CAM
bridge Convention-the hour for meeting
arrived and the meeting was called to order
by Judge Goldsborough himself, the Presi-
dent and Secretary appointed the object Of
the meeting stated, and dele gates selected,
when there were only six persons present,
while there were quite anumberin town and
from the country who were mistaken in
the hour and did not get into the meeting
at all. Was there anything wrong in this ?
If there was, then the action of the CAM
bridge convention was wrong and these

hurried up that convention. If it was
right, the action of the Cambridge conven-
ton was right. Let the Republicans of
Talbot have desired the Judges nomina-
ton ever so much, we know the course
pursued by him in his letter does not meet
their appreciation, for we have heard Re-
publcans-some of them warm supporters
of Judge Goldsborough-say that they can
not acquiesce in the spirit and apparent
purpose of his letter. On Saturday, after
it appeared in print, we were informed by
a gentleman of intelligence that heretofore
he had felt an Indifference toward voting at
the coming election, but that he now con-
sidered it his duty to cast his ballot for the
nominee, and thereby sustain the princi-
pies of his party against the efforts of the
Democracy that is attempting to crush it..
We are glad to hear that the Republicans
of this county. with but few exceptions,
will give Mr.. Torbert their hearty support.
