letter to Mr.. Lawton, published in this
evenings Telegraph.
While 1 have, of course, no knowledge
of what may be the latters action in re.
gard to Mr. Ms proposition, | earnestly
hope he will not accept it. On the 18th
inst, the Telegraph published fair and
manly offer from Judge Lawton, to
withdraw from the judicial contest,
providing Mr.. May would do the same,
and that a new judicial convention
should be held, in which each county
should have the same number Of del
egates, and by which new man should
be nominated for the position of Judge.
Twelve days have since elapsed, and un.
I'll this date Mr. NJ. has not deigned to
notice the proposition. Mr.. Lawton
waited one week and hearing nothing
from his opponent, formerly accepted
the nomination rendered him by the
delegates from Van Buren, County.
At this late day Mr.. May comes
forward with his proposition in the
interest of harmony"

You give no reasons for having de-
layed, to this late day, submitting to
the public or to myself, your proposition,

to which you refer, ard which was writ

shown to you by the editor prior to its
publication in the Telegraph, with the
request that your answer should 60 to
the people with it.
Nor do you show why another con-

might not have selected a third man &C
ceptable to both counties, Joth u rs
being out of the way, from'among the
gentlemen of the bar Of this circuit,
While " the condition OF the roads y al
luded to by you, has not been such as
to prevent the free intercourse Of the
people since that date.
Nor do you show how your prop
osition would supply the want Of rep
roseutation, if such was the fact, Of the
people at the Van Buren, County Con
ven,iou, which chose the delegates who
pat ne ia nomination On the contrary,
i, probably does away win all r1pre
seutation, while mine would have Sc.
cured all you say was wanting, II any.
thing more was nsed-d 20 get the voice
Of the people.
Nor do YOU explain wherein you and
l, or either of US, get the right or power
to settle the method by which " one of
us shall continue the candidate for the
judgeship that certainly is an assump-
ton that | have not ventured, and which
my proposition steered clear of.
Nor do I see the grounds upon which
you claim to be the regular candidate,
l arr tempted to ask what is an ir-
regular candidate - The fact is patent,
we both are in the position of one but
half married. and the county com.
mittees have not the authority TO com.

In brief, Gen, you put upon me, in
the first instance, by your refusal to ac-
ccp. my proposition, and, in the second
Y your long delay in submitting
anerein, too, is found the further
grove objection, that by it the people
are left out of the question, while you

public acceptance of the 18th inst.
This acceptance was partly expressed
in slose words A." And in view of the
nearness of the day of election, and
yielding to the voice of those whose ad-
vice in these matters is not to be
slightly regarded, and who urge that ali
further doubt and delay should be put
behind US, and the people at the polls
should now settle by their ballots the
