Worcester daily spy., 1851-04-01
The Ohio Senator.


Tbe spy, wishing toprevaricate but not daring open
vto Glsif in relation the newly elected Wing Sen
ator from Ohio, does itby saying
e.Tbe New York Tribune of Monday, says that Judge
Wade who was elected on Saturday, by the OHIO Leg
isature to the United States Senate, IS a Free SOIL
Whig and a determined opponent to the Fugitive Slave
Law
But it suppresses the whole truth by not publishing
what else the Tribune said; to wt:-that Wade was
whole hearted supporter of Gen. Tayors election, and
was recently candidate in opposition to the Free Soil
party in Ashtabula county, they running another candi
date against him."
The above is fromthe Egis of last week, and affords
another illustration of the proneness ofthe Colones ps
tel to fash in the pan go off on the half cock. We
published so much of the Tribune's statement we
kncc to be true. We did not publish the whole of its
article because we knew that it did not state Judge
Wades position with fairness 1t does not matter to
us whether Judge Wade supported Gen. Taylors elec
ton or not that is noe all pertinent the present
condition of aars it is his position no0 with which
have do, and defy the Agis to disprove that
the Administration of Fillmore and Taylor has more
hearty opponent in either branch Of the next Congress-
than Hon. B. F. Wade; and that opposition too is in
perfect harmony with his whole public career.
His first entrance into political life, Vas marked by
distinguished opposition to the political Vaccinations of
the slave power. member of the Ohio State Senate
in 1887 he made strong Speech and still stronger
report against Texas annexation, and regarded
of the bodest anti.slavery men of that day. He
re-nominated by the Wings for the term, but
defeated by the cry of Abolition which the Hunkers
raised against him.
In 1S41, he was however, again nominated for the
Senate, and took active part in the debate against
the odious black laws of the State; and his speech,
which published at the time, created very strong
sensation throughout the STATE. After the session
closed, he devoted himself again to the practice of the
law, until about three years since, he elected
Judge Of the Circuit Court.
In addition to the above, we copy the following from
