Whtggery.
The New YORK Tribune says Of Judge
Wade, the newly elected US, Senator from
this State, as follows;-
Judge Wade is a Free Soil Wing, and II
determined opponent Of the FORi.iVe Slave
Law, but .has never perceived that his free
soil principles could be promoted BY nbsn-
doning nRd opposing The whig party, of
which he was recently a candidate, in op2nsi-
tion 70 The free soil party, which carries ell
before il in his section. lie was an early
and. decided supporter Of General Taylor for
President, and yet he is now elected by The
aid Of free soil votes. We venture TO say
that the national administration will fbh no
tiTmer, no heartier supporter Of al iis meas
ures based on uli fashioned whig principles,
than Judge Wade; while, for any aid il may
wnnt in the way of slave catching, II may
look with confidence to iIs political sdyersa-
fies to whom the business is more congsnisl.
We presume there will be no present lack Of
help 10 that line."-N Y. Tribune.
In relation 10 Mr. Wade, the Ohio State
Journal talks ,thus:-'
'li was the understanding and deterlnina-
.ion, without which Mr.. Wade could not have
been elected, that "the national ddministrd.
ton lroald find no frmer, teartitT support,r
Of all ats measures, based on old fashioned
Wig principles than Judge Wade"
Both of these papers are very ingenious
concerns, and can get up a deception for the
sake Of getting their party out Of difficulty
with as much facility as The next paper, no
matter how much tergisersaton may be me-
cessary,to put good face upon .he matter.
But we would like for seme one TO tell us who
are the old fashioned wings. Do they call
Messrs. Fillmore, We bster, Crittenden, Cor
win, Graham, Stuar;, Clay, or any Of the
Galphins old fashioned whlgs7 If they all
are, where are your new fashioned whgsi
We would like for some Of them to be trotled
ont. Greedy and Bascom both say there are
old fashioned wings, and If there are old
fashioned wings there must be new ones too.
Whiggery is subject to so many different
changes tha; il is hard to tell whether wing
of day is the same kind ola Shig he was
yesterday.
But Judge Wade is neither an old fashions
ed nor new fashioned whig, neither is he a
supporter of the present national admins,ra-
ton, For proof Of this, read the following
biography OF tie Judge, written by friend
Of his TO the N. Y. Tribune, who signs him
self Buckeye, under date Of Cleveland,
March II, 1851:
Our new Scpator, never having filled the
s'soundIng trump of fame" demands some
notice at our hands.
He was born at West Springfield, Mass.
Oct. 81, A. ID. 1900, aud removed to Ohio
in the Fall Of 1921, settling in the County OF
i Ashtabula.
In 1923 he gent 10 the State of New York
and there taught school until the spring oi
1925, when he returned TO this State.
After his return lie sill continued TO teach
and at the same lime pursued bis law studies
in the Office of Elisha Whittesey, until he
was admitted to The Bar.
+ In 1928 he formed co-partnershp with
Mr.. Giddmgs, which continued until 1887
T In the same Fall he was elected TO The
Senate of Ohio, and there signaz-d himself
by a Report and Speech against the Annex
alton of Texas.
! He was nominated by the Wings for the
!! Senate, but was defeated by tho "SiLvsl
Groys" OF that day, on the ground that he
was loo much of an Anti Slavery man.
In lS4l he triumphed over all opposition
and was again returned to the Senate, where
he made u most cogent speech against The
ubiquitous "BIack Laws" so long disgrs ce
TO our Statute Book.
A the expiration Of his term he refused
to serve again, aud was elected Judge some
Two years since, which office he fills with
ability and digaity. | am informed that he
is for Land Reform, in favor Of Homestead
Exemption, and will, | have no doubt, be
found fighting shoulder to shoulder with
those lew PhIanthropis,s in Tho Senate who
are urging forward the firsI.named great
measure.
Upon the question Of the odous Fugitive
Law. he is all we could desire. But here
prefer he should speak for hlmaeIf and give
you part Of speech made by him last fall
a, Ravenna, and which was published a. tho
Time in the Rdpenna Star:
"Judgs WADE fairly electrified tho nudi>
ence by the earneslness and energy with
which he denounced tho Fugitive Jaw and
all who had q part in inAicting il upon u.s.
lie said he had always been a Whig--wus
still Whig-but there were considerations
which rose far above party and party inhu-
ences, and he for enc was prepared 10 unite
with any men of any party in opposition 10
, the Law"
''lle condemned in the strongest terms
Wings and Democrats who aided in the pas
s5ge of the law by their votes, or by dodgng
rebuked with energy and spirit both FIJI
) more and CritfenGen, and visited Danie
Webster with the most wlhering dcnuncia'
lions. He said the law, brIstling like q por
cupine with pains and penalties, was the mos
infamous enactment known TO the Slatut,
. Bucks Of this country, and such as even III,
corrupt Governments Of the Old World couIt
. no, pass without diving their people to revo
I luton. For himself regardless Of fines AM
imprisonment, if called upon, he would gran
10 the Fugitive Save the writ Of habea
corpus"
: The cause Of Freedom has no Ermer fren
il in Ohio than b. F. WADE, and we send bin
!. to the Senate Rs most worthy compeer {
, your own Seward, whose friends 10 Ohio le
J, me say, are neither few nor far between.
