John Quincy Adams, of Mas- sachusetts, was settled upon as the most avail- able man for the Vice Presidency. 1m answer to some inquiries respecting General Grant, it was stated that he had been ded, and it ‘Was ascertained that under no cireumstances would he be the Democratic c: lidate for the Presidemcy.
