THE EAsTPoBT AND CALAIS DELEGATIONS.
EAsTPoRT, May II.
To the Editor of the Press:
notice the Bangor Whig and Courier Of
this date in its leader says: "We have seen
that paper (the Portland PRESS persist in its
declaration that the town of EastpOrt was
solid for Cleaves, after its attention has twice
been called to the fact that the Eastport Sem
tinel, &C., has announced that the delegates
were uninstrueted and were a Cleayes-Bur-
leigh-Marble delegation"
One-of the delegates was shown the article
referred to in the Wing and Courier this
evening and in reply to the question, "who
will the delegation support" said they were
for Cleaves, and were chosen with that I'M
derstanding. The writer was also informed
at Calais that the Wing and Courier was
claiming delegates in that vicinity, adjacent
towns and plantations, for Bureigh that we're
for Clcayes, first, last and all the time
There is a general feeling in Washington
and Hancock counties that the State Treas
urer should not be elected Governor. Mr..
Wakefield's letter is generally accepted as
reasonable and worthy the attention OF every
voter. TRAVELLER.
