Mr.. OLASTEAD EXPLAINs.-Mr. FREDERICK
Law Oi.AsTEAD, who was nominated by the
boiling frcc-traders for the Vice-Prc>idcncy,
writes to the Euen'ng Post as follows:
Nv name was used without my knowledge
in the resolutions Of the gentlemen who met
on Friday Mt the Fif1h-Avenuc Hotel. Their
action does not call for any expression OF
opinion Oh my part on the questions of the
present political canvass; but, while thank
ing them sincerely for their good opinion, l
must express my regret that they should
have thought it eXpcdient to take up as Il
representative of their requirements one who
Is so completely separated from the political
field, and so much absorbed in professional
and official duties as am.
Your obedient servant,
FREDERICK LAW OLMsTEAD.
Neec York, June %, 1872.
Was ever before n nomination for tile vice
presidency received in this humor? The
matter Is Of such little consequence Mr.,
OLMsTEAD does not consider that it calls for
"any expression Of opinion" from him on
the .prescnt political canvass" Pretty
sharp! The ticket, indeed, will have abso-
lutey nothing to do with the canvass; hut
us il this were not enough 10 show its alb
surdity, Mr.. OLMsrEAD frankly declares that
he is completely separated from the political
field, and knows nothing about politics. The
little knot of frce-traders only added to the
ahsurdity of their proceedings at every step.
