about political matters in this city. .
Parties here stand as they did weeks ago in re-
lation to their comparative strength, so GaI as an
our republican friends here have been favored with
an address from G.. F., Adams, of Mass, son of
ia Adams. Mr.. A. is a very respectable look
ing man. medium size. hair turning to grey; With
some tendency to badness. His premises in the
address delivered here were quite anti-slavery-
but his conclusions were for Lincoln, indicating

he is a decidedly a1ti slavery man, but his political
associations forbid such a co~nsummation. After

speech as sufficiently conservative to suit this

MI. Sherman, of Ohio, also delivered an able
address. one evening last week, SO his friends say

state soon and talk to the people. 30 the proba
bility is, that the Keyston voters will have an i'm
mense amount of political light shed among then
