legislative Elections.

The legislative election machine having got started,

parties is altogether another affair OF course there
was no bargaining. The Wings never make political
bargains they they wouldn't do such things any
accounts and particularly would they not do such things
with the Freeso party! They are pure for that ;
and besides they denounced ercey the alleged bar
gain between the Democracy and Frecsoiers, by which
Mr.. CHASE elected Senator! They could not alter
that enter any bargain themselves with the Freesoi
ers If they did, what toOuld the world say Of them!
We must not charge them therefore with bargaining.
We might perhaps be permitted to say that they made
an arrangement simply Though plain, simple, sensible
minds not be able TO any difference between
bargain" and arrangement" yet the acute and IN
telgent mind of Whiggery demonstrate that there
is very pointed difference. To please them, therefore,

The correspondent OF the Cincinnati Commercial,
neutral, speaking Of the politics of the new Senator,
says:
"Beni. F. Wade the Senator elect, was noted while
in the Ohio Legislature, for occupying the time of the
body of which he member, in making the most
violent, rabd and rampant abolition speeches, and while
the bench of the Common Pleas from which he has
been elevated he has adjourned his Court to ncite the
mob from the stump against the Government he took
oath to supportand to declare that be would in his
pacty Judge utterly disregard the fugitive slave law.

We have repeatedly said that the abolitionists who
were making such hue and cry against the Fugitive
