is reduced in its canvass in that State. Mr.. WIRE
is the Democratic candidate in the Guernsey and
Belmont district, chosen to succeed Ex-Governor
SHANNON, who voted for the Nebraska bill and was
not nominated for reelection. The extract might
be read with advantage by the Editors of the
g Union " and of some Southern Democratic jour
nails, who evnce SO much anxiety to enighten their
readers as to the of willy and wiry politicians.
They will, no doubt, be particularly interested in
understanding the anticipated course of Mr.. WIRE
upon the fugitivesave law, if he should be elected
to Congress; and they will be equally edited with
the opinion of one Of their "natural allies" that,
xso far from the Nebraska bill giving any advan-
tage to the interests of Shareholders it in fact ex
tends the area of freedom and circumscribes that

what spirit the Democratic press Of the South will
chronicle the election of Mr.. WIRE, if such should
be the result Of the canvass.

them has in great part been obiteraed that the great
questions issue between the parties have been
tied in favor of the policy contended for by the Demo-

affirmed is political union and he demonstrated that if
