The Free Soil Convention at Buffalo has nomi.
mated CHARLES F. ADAMS, son of the late JOHN @.
ADAMS, for the Vice Presidency upon the Van BIZ.
rem ticket.
We occasionally see very strange developments
in politics. Here is CHARLES +. 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 persecu-
tor for years, and the principal cause of his defeat
in 1928. Volney tells of man who.dreamed that
foul fend was beating him with the bones of his
dead father. We should suppose that similar
dream would render Charles F. Adams's slumbers
hideous every night.-LosisviHe Journal.
