The Hon. b. F. Wade, United States Senator ron me
State Of Ohio, has written letter TO 2enlema III M 81

"very respectfully yours, ,,.,n.,
WM. H. CREAMERY, ESQ.
All this is very WELL and clearly acquts General Scott OF
making the specific declaration imputed 10 him But, two
questions presen, themselves First did Senator Wade
hold conversation with General Scott the subject Of
slavery and if 80, wha, was The Of il, Second
Senator Wade, who is Scott Free Soil Whig did write
letter his rend D. r. Iden, ESQ., in which he referred
the question Of slavery Now what contents OF
! that letter. And why is ii not forth coming?
DESTROYS Of doing Gen. Scott no injustice, and anxious TO
arrive at the truth of this matter, ire presumed, month
since, to address Mr. Wade letter of inquiry in relation
it. With the courtesy which characterzes that dsn
guished Senator, he made US the following reply
"WAsHISGToS, JuLr 2S, 1882
"DEAR Sal have the honor to receive yours Of The
18th usan nquiring in relation 10 tho contents of letter
which D. r. Tiden, Esq and which it is said he
read at Scott meeting have already answered your in
Mckinney of your place in which stated 10 him. and again
you that the pretended quotation from my letter Is
entirely inaccurate. did not preserve copy OF the letter
but contained nothing which would be deemed offensive
either the North South have written for the letter
copy of it, which, when Obtained, vii give you yer
rs. T. SAWYER, Esq"
Now, let it be borne in mind that this letter written
shortly alter this an,i.slavery declaration imputed 10
bcation but says that the quotation Is entlrey inacc-
rae If the statement be fabrication who is the autho:
of III Surely the Senator from onio would not have the
public infer thai his friend and correspondent Mr. Pldsn
O
meeting in his State and he read TO them something from
letter which he had received rom MIR Wade. Now what is
il he did read Where is the letter. We promised
verbatim cop" Of it, Nearly month has expired and it
is not yet forthcoming We call for The letter and then We
and read for ourse what Mr.. Wade did say that
General Scott said.
