usual, tho nominations Of tho dinarsnt parties
in Massachusetts arc Ill usle, and the three
wcekz' campaign il fairly begun. Aft.r al
the eimmeE1g in tho two old parties, AHAifs
settled down in very much the old way. Tho
Republicans nominated Governor C1afin for
reelection, and substantially the old State
ticket, and tho Democrats nominated Mr..
John Quincy Adaua again, after he hid posi-
lively declined to be candidate for smother
defeat, md after the party organ had lsid him

successor. So after all the only
