>OHlo.--Benjamin f. Wade ins been cleo
ted U. 8. Senator from Ohio for six years
from tho 4th of March last. OF his politics
the New York Tribune says:
"Judge Wade is Freesoil Wing and a
determined opponent Of the Fugitive Slave
Law, but has never perceived that his Free
Soil principles could be promoted by abon-
dcning and opposing tho Wing party. Of
which he was recently candidate in oppo-
sition to the Freesoil Party, which carries
all before It in his section. lie was an ear
!y and decided supporter OF Gen. Taylor for
President, yet he is now elected by The aid
of Freesol votes, We venture to say that
the National Administration will find no
firmer. no hear,icr supporter of all its
measures, based on old fashioned Whip
principles, than Judge Wade; while for
any aid it may want in tho way of slave
catching, It may look with confidence to the
ranks OF its political ndversaries, to whom
the business is more congcninl. We pre-
sumo there will be no present lack Of help
in that limo.

doubted, and can plausible reason be given
TO mako the doubt worthy OF being enter

been, that We arc robbed Of tho fruits of

taxation, which falls heaviest upon us of tho

tho South have supported the cxtravagant

tribute, now paid to this bloatcd tyrant,
would be needed by South Carolina to sup.
port separate government. The idea that

penny argument. To rcfutc it, let any
one cast his eyes over the map Of Europe,
and see what large proportion Of govern

NloRE OF THE MOBILE MuEpEn.-.The
Mobile Herald Of llth inst, gives currency
to some rumors which add a mysterious
interest TO the murder OF the Cuban.
Hernandez, who was assassnated in that
city. under circumstances Of SO much
atrocity, on Sundy morning last. Since the
residence OF Hernandez in Mobile, there
have been many rumors afoat as to the
cause of his leaving Havana. The following
account is given on the authority Of a
gentleman OF Mobile cogn zant Of II D rtion
OF tho circumstances.
A short time previous to the Cuban
expedition from this country, stupendous
fraud was discovered by tic authorities of
Havana TO have boon committed agains, the
Government, in which number OF the
most wealthy and influential citizens were
implicated. Prosecutions wcre instituted
against them. Tie Government found il
out and seized and confined him i'm prison

bribery, power and influence OF tho dcfen.
dants. They attained means, however,
TO communicate with him, and tor n large
sum OF money he agreed, when introduced
as witness for the Government, To narrate
rs fact, statement on the trial which
would eHculpate them. The day OF trial
was drawing near, and the defendants be-
gan to look upon Hernandez with deep sus.
picion, as they were completely in his power.
They feared q betrayal Of their trust, and
concluded it were best to got him out Of
the way cntilcly They planned his escape
from prison, furnished him with several
thousand dollars, and ho was soon in This
county.
During the exciting events incident TO
the descent upon Cardenns. this prosecution
was lost sight of. Since the appointment
OF the new Governor Of Cuba it has been
started airesh, and il is the intention of the
authorities to probe the matter TO ills found.
alton. The new Governor, learning Of the
escape and flight OF Hernandez. after con.
siderable investigation and inquiry, located
nim in Mobile. The necessary steps were
being taken by the Government Ia obtain
his appearance in Havana This the dc.
PENDANTS found out, and knowing that il
would lead to an exposure of the whole
transaction, they procured the commission
OF thus deed. Some of the circumstances
here detailed have strong resemblance to
the celebrated Roy case.
One OF the parties suspected Of this
murder left Mobile suddenly on Monday, il
was supposed for Havana. on brig them

were dispatched after him. but have returned
without being able to hear anything of

1HE WAY DIVISIONS ARE CREATED IN THE
SoUTH.-The following article of tho
M'sslss'pp;an NJ contains pregnant truth. In
confirmation Of the last part OF 1t, we should
remark that Mr.. Owens of Georgia has re.
celved the consulsliip 10 Havana, and thus
tho price OF tho noblo and patriotic stand'
OF his State has been paid with credilable
prOmptitudc.
we have often argued that il ia useless
tor the friends of tho South to postpone the
adoption Of measures of resistance TO tho
oppression ofthe Federal Government, with
Tho view OF securing unanimiiy. 1t is idle
to expect such result, when so many causes
exist to prevent it. Prominent nmopg
these, is tho power which tho Federal
government possess Of buying up with
offlco, leading men in our own section. The
doEceur is held out TO corrupt aspiring poll.
tIc'ans, and they are suro by partizan ap-
pcnls to take with them to the support of
the powers that DO n sufficient number to
create the divisions which wc SO much
lament
Thus tho National Treasury which is
supplied TO a great extent by taxes upon
Southern labor, is used for the purpose of
producing discord in tho South and render
ng her powcrless in the hands of her
oPP,Sssos.
Will delay remove this obstruction in the
path Of resistance! Will it destroy tho
glitter Of Federal gold or break tho charm
Of Federal office! Surely it will not. The
nature OF man will remain tho same, and
the means of enticing the deprayed will but
increase with each revolving year.
Who knows the extent Of the bribcs that
were held out to the corrupt demagogues OF
both parties in Georgia, who deceived and
mlsled the people Of that State! The
Washington correspondent Of the Louis
villc Courier (Whgl openly announces
that the President promised TO one of them,
the most lucrative Office in his gifl. The
writer says:
"rhc consul.ship at Havana. the most
lucrative consulate in the gift Of the exec
utlve, has been placed by him at tho dispo.
sal OF the delegation from the State Of
Georgia, provided they present proper
person for it. This of course they will do,
rs there is, no doubt, rs good material for it
in that State us in any other of the Union.
The claims OF Mr.. Langdon, the whig Mayor
OF Mobile, were strongly urged by his
friends for this consulate; and, but for the
promise made by the President to the
Georgia delegation, there is no doubt but
what he would have received it. From the
noble and patriotic stand, however, that
Georgia took during the recent slavery
excitement. in which she resisted South
Carolina notification, and Mississippi
disunon, and successfully checked the
| hcadlong course Of secession, she was
entitled not only 10 this. but, much more at
the hands OF the General Government"

Then the world will seem but ineany,
Like a shadow far away,
