THE BUFFALO CONVENTION.

A correspondent Of the Rochester Daily De.
mocra' (Whig) gives the following illustration
rom primitive times, Of the composition Of the
Buffalo Convention;
DEAR Sir: For the proceedings Of the Bufa.
10 Convention, read the first and second verses
of the wenty-secoud chapter orthe first book Of
Samuel. and in the place of David" read John
Van Buren,. and in the place of "Ihe cave Adu-
lam" read Buffalo. or.
Soamended, the passage reads as fellows:
"John Van Buren, therefore departed thence
and escaped to Buffalo; and when his brethren
and when all his fathers heard of it they went
thiher to him.
"And every one that was in distress. and eve
ry one that was in debt, and every one ,ha, was
.discontented gathered themselves unto him: and
he became 4 captain over them: and there were
with him about four hundred men,"

ORIGINAL DEsPATCHEs.-Itw was ungratefu in
"OId Zack" not to notice Col. Weller in his
patches-rery ungrateful. The Col. fought
welI-we know he did, for he told us so him
seD!-told US he was right by the side of Gen..
Taylor at Monterey, "where the balls flew thick
as hail" And there is proof that Gen. Taylor
is a brave man, or he never would have ventlr-
ed where the heroic Weller did! The people
of the Reserve will not treat him so shabbily as
that. They are making up their dispatches
and will forward them about the second Tues
day of October. They will read very similar
to those issued from this quarter in the memor.
able campaign of 1910, and will discharge the
heroic Colonel from the public service, with
about as much honor as "Od Zack" bestowed
upon him at Monterey. The "moral heroes"
will do him justice.--Medina Wing.

SAD THOUGHTS.

"Lay her in the earth;
And from hes unpoluted flesh
May violets SPRING. amlet.
How sad on the heart,
Strikes the sound Of the bell,
As the how'd and beautiful
Pass from the sight.
The tone and the smile
We have cherished so well,
Fade away from the earth,
Like dream Of the night.
How lone is the home
To which we are turning
With a sorrowing heart,
And tear-streaming eye
While deep in the soul
As wild thoughts are burning,
We pine for the dear one,
And ask but-tO die.
Let her lie in her grave
Mid the flowers Of the earth
(She mourned at their fading
And ioy'd in the bloom
They shall spring from her mould
And the place of their birth
Shall enhance their soft beauties,
Enrich their perfume!
And thus, with the night-dews
Distilling above her
TO freshen the flower buds
That nod DER her rest,
Shall he fragrantly rise
To the angels who love her,
And who call her with smiles
To the bowers of the blest.

The Free Soil Convention at Buffalo has no.
minated Charles F. Adams. son oFlhe late John
Q. Adams, for the Vice Presidency upon the
Van Buren, ticket.
We occasionally see very strange develope.
ments in politics. Here is Charles F. Adams
running upon ticket with Martin Van Buren,,
united in the bonds Of political brotherhood
with that "Old Magician of Undertook" who
was his venerable fathers chief political foe
and relentless prosecutor for years, and the prin-
cipal cause of his defeat in 1898. Volney tells
Of man who dreamed that fou! fend was
beating him with the bones of his dead father.
We should suppose that similar dream would
render Charles F. Adams slumbers hideous
every night--LOuiSuile Journal.

The Dead.

Below We give an incident. related BY an Eag.
tern Traveller, which touchngy illustrates a
great truth in religion. None but those who
have been called to pau from frioads. know the
preciousnnss Of the ruth, tha, those friends are
not dead. but only removed from our sight for q
season. Though their bodies have gone down
10 the grave. yet their spirits live. Where their
dwelling place may be we cannot tell. but there
can be 20 harm in the notion that they remain
in our midst. and become our spiritual compan-
ions. The heaven of bIiss-the abode Of the
good. may be all around Us as well as in some
far of region. Where God and good men dwell.
there must be happiness. The innocent child
believes il a spiritual world-that it lives among
spiritual beings, and in this belief it finds com.
fort in the hour Of trial. Let no one smile.
then, at the simple answers Of the lille girl,
spoken Of below. They were the answers of an
earnest nature-the language of the soul.

From the Washington Union.

Gen. Taylor evades any answer on the Will
mot Proviso. Gen. Cass has bravely and frank
ly defined his position in his Nicholson letter;
He will Veto the Wilmot Proviso-WE ARE
