Mr. Wade at work

Senator WADE is proving that ne mer-
tied the confidence rePosed in him by the
Wings of the last Legislature. He was
and always will be, an active, honest,
Wing
He has taken the stump in Ashtabula
for Wing measures, aud Whig men, and
is working manfuIly against the efforts of
faction which are guided only by selfish
men. 4a'
/, The Conneaut Exporter says Of his re-
cent speech at Kingsville: "His sremarks
were mainly confined to National topics,
which he discussed ina calm, dispassion-
ate manner, affording instruction and en-,
couragement, and inspiring all with zeal
and purpose to renew their efforts in
promoting the success Of the Wing party.
Wing principles never fitted him SO loose
ely as to cause him to forget their bene.
fcence, or induce him to cease in his la
bors to impress them upon the minds Of
the people, again and again; and when
he referred to the past, when the Wings
of Ashtabula went to the polls, shoulder
to shoulder, battling for success confident
that the measures which they advocated
were best conducive to the public good,
he was truly eloquent and held his audi
ence with an enchantment we have never
before witnessed. He appealed to them
as men, as Wings, as lovers of liberty, as
friends Of the constitution and the Union,

and deleterious doctrines of the Locofoco
party--which were no less obnoxious to
the true interests OF the people now than
when "Old Ashtabula" stood in all her
glory the embodiment Of Wing principles

ter counties on to action and TO victory.
No one regretted the division and the g.
rection Of local party more than he, and

minds the utter impracticability of q To-
cal organization, he had left the quiet Of
his home in answer to the calls of his fel.
} low citizens, TO counsel with them on the
