Senator Wade-agaln.

At the time our neighbor Of the Democrat,
and kindred papers, asserted that Senator
Wade was "an Abolitionist of the Gidding's
stamp" we pronounced it, not 10 use harsh
er expression, misrepresentation of thatgen-
tlemnn's position. The editor of the Demo-
crat afterwards signi6ed his willingness, could
he be shown that he was in error, to make all
proper apologies. WE'LL a week or twosince,
we published letter. written by Mr. Wade
! himself defining his position, in which he as
serted that he was in favor of upholding and
carrying into effect the fugitive slave law,
while it was law, but that he should urge
its repeal or modification, on all proper occas-
IONS That is the position of the. mass of the
great Wing party, Again, Mr.. Wade assert
ed that he was opposed to interfering with
slavery where il now exists according TO law.
This is another import doctrine with which the
Wing party entirely concur in.
In opposition to these two principles, Mr.
Giddings advises that opposition be made
byJorce to the execution of the fugitive slave
law, and that the General Government abolish
slavery where il now exists, as soon as a ma
ljority can be found to favor the measure, with
out regard to the rights of the slave owner
Mr.. Democrat, as you have failed to make
the proper reparation. we trust you will at
tend to it at the earliest moment Come out
like man, and let's have no craWfshing in
the matter. In order to aid you in your good
intentions, we publish the following article,
which nails to the counter another very dirty
little .fB which has gone the rounds of
Locofoco press:
That Yarn Headed.
For some time past, the papers opposed to
Mr.. Wade, and his election TO the Senate by
the Wings of The late Legislature. have anus
themselves, and endeavored to disturb the E.
quanimity of the Wings, by quoting what they
said Mr.. Wade said abont the fugitive slave
law, at Akron, last fall These very a.niable
gentlemen report Mr. Wade as saying that
The present administration, by attempting TO
sustain it. had, in his opinion, degraded itself
as much below Tyler's administration, as the
beast was below man in the scale of creation
Now, if Wings could be made TO believe that
these are the opinions of Mr. Wade. and that
he entertains them at this time, they might
feel little Bit But We have the pleasure of
assuring the Statesman, and the loving broth
erhood Of volunteer comforters. that Mr. Wade
said no such thing at Akron Mr.. Teesdale,
the editor of the Summit Beacon, and who is
very strongly inclined 10 sympaIhize with the
grumbling at the administration. was present
at the time Mr.. Wade made the said speech
and says that all this stuff that has been put
into Wade's mouth is false, as he said no such
thing. The Beacon says:
tHaving been present when the Judge made
his anti-fugitive-law speech here, we have no
hesitation whatever in saving that no such
declaration was made by Judge Wade No
illusion was made to the administration dur
ing the delivery of the speech. The name of
Mr.. Fillmore was rot even mentioned; nor
was there any thing approximating in temper
or import 10 the declaration quoted above
We have no idea the Statesman and other
kindred prints, will set their readers right on
this subject We simply ask the Wings 20 let
our opponents have all the fun they can out
of it, but to keep their shirts on, and not be
badly scared before they are hurt.
