Mr.. Adams and his Servants.

/ The Salem Register relates the following
anecdo,e, slrikingly illustrative Of the mulua
feelings of affection which existed between Mr.
Adams and those in his service:
"a few years ago as John Quincy Adams,
was riding 10 the Capitol, his horses became
unmanageable and overturned his coach, dash
ing the driver--ap Irishman who had been long
in Mr.. Adams's employT-wi,h grea. violence
agains, pos, on the. corner of the building.
He was taken up for Dead, and carried TO ain
apartment III The Capitol, under the room in
which Mr.. Adams brealhed his last, followed
by many persons, among Them Mr.. Adams him
self. After some time the injured man was re-
stored TO consciousness, and apparently regard
less of his own sufferings, turning his eyes
anxiousiy around, his first words were, Is
Mr.. Adams safe 7" Mr.. Adams replied that be
was unhuri. The poor fellow exclaimed,
Then I'm content" and relapsed into, an un-
conscious state. The venerable statesman was
deeply moved a, this evidence of affectionaie
regard for bis welfare, and tears flowed down
his cheeks. The wounded and suffering man
was taken TO The patriots house. bu, did not
survive until morning Mr.. Adams was en-
gagged TO speak in some important cause before
the Supreme Cour, of the U. States on that
day, 10 believed in The Amistad case blu,
his feelings were such that he went to the Court,
and stating The circumstances which had oc-
cured, solicited, as personal favor, The post
ponement of The case ill the next day, which
was accordingly granted. The tokens Of mourn.
ing were placed upon Mr.. Adams's doors, as if
one OF his own family had deceased; and the
funeral took place from his house, and under
his personal superintendence. Truely has it
been said Of The ilus,rious sage, ,ha. he con-
cenlrated affection a, home.'"

son of The Emerald Isle to put his finger in the
turtles mouth. but Paddy was TOO smart for that,

DEATH OF THE HON. MILTON CARPENTER

He died in this city on yesterday morn.

Mr.. Carpenter was for many years a
representative in the Legislature; and for
long period Stale Treasurer. In his

He was a man of unblemished morals. -

Seventh Judicial Convention,

Fl
The notice calling this convention was
short, and there was a mistake in regard
to the day Of meeting, in the call as 6rst
published consequently three counties
were not represented in the convention.
The convention assembled on Friday
last, at Naperville. Capt. Joseph Naper
was chosen chairman. Hugh T. Dickey,
of Chicago, was nominated as a candidate
for Circuit Judge, and A. Platt, of Nc
Henry Co., for States Attorney.
Mr.. Dickey, has. for some time, presi-
ded as Judge over the Cook Co. Court
1t is said that he is fully competent to dis.
charge the duties OF the office for which
he has been selected as candidate. We
have heard ii stated that he opposes the
democratic national nominees, Cass and
Butler, but We have been assured that
such is not the case. We are aware that
Mr.. DiCkey is no great politician, but are
confident that he will vote for the Balti-
more nominees; and, therefore, we place
his name at the mast head of our paper,
and yield him our support.
The nominee for States Attorney, Mr..
P!att. is an able lawyer, and sound and
sterling democrat. His ability and integ-
rity. warrant US in saying that he is just
such man as the people need for prose
cutting attorney. Let no man who desires
to see justice meted out to the aggressor,
and especially no democrat in this district,
fail to vote for Mr.. Plat.
