More Hard Shells Ton the Republic to

Moro Hard Shells Tor the Republic to
Crack.
The Cleveland co., Damoera, INDUCES in the
following reflections, relative to its new Sena-
tor, which may disturb the sweet sleep of the
Republic.
ComE, Be FRAxK.--The Ohio Statesman of
the 10Th, devotes over column to Judge WADE.
And wherefore!
To prove his Frec-s0i sentiments, and to
show the Inconsistency of certain Wings in vo-
ting for him Nobody hereabouts disputes the
first point. Nobody any where who knows
Judge WADE, will do that.
As to Judge Wade, there can be no mistake
True, he might deceive the public.-True, he
might at Washington, prove traitor to his pub
lished sentiments, and recreant to his private
yet most deeply cherished feelings. But we do
not believe he will-We put unyieldng trust
in his integrity, fearessness, tirmness. So feel
ing, we say then, that he has gone further than
we have; has used stronger language than we
have used, both IA regards men and measures /;

"Resolped, That come life--or come imprison-

but, on the contrary, zoe Wul harb0r and secrete

God speed to liberty"
The Statesman is in error in supposing the
free-soilers teareF Judge Wade's "yieding,"
and that this caused DR.. Bradley to write to him.
No such cause operated. Every Free-soiler
knew what Judge Wade thought, and he is as
free in expressing that thought to-day, openly

Harping on the same string, the Louisville
Democrat thus presents pleasing parallel:

Of the United States, from Ohio. One is the
