is so much attached to the Wing party. Ac.
cording to Mr.. Foote, Mr.. Fillmore, while Vice
President, sent for him, and gave him a list Of
the Seward men whom General Taylor had
nominated for Office, with the advice that they
should be rejected by the Senate. OF course.
the Wings of New York will not forget this
treachery of Mr.. Fillmore, who, it seems, Went
over to the camp of the enemy, and gave de-
scriptive list of his comrades, whom he wished
picked of, because they happened not to be Of
his clique. We are sorry to add, that Mr.
Badger, of North Carolina, was also party to
this proceeding.
OHIo.-No one seems to doubt the result IN
Ohio. The only ground of speculation is a,
to the character of the victory-whether it viii
be as large as that of last year, or whether cir
cumstances may not cut it down few thoa
sands. We are gratifed to see letter from
Mr.. Campbell, emphatically contradicting a H.
NOR that he would not support Mr.. Chase He
opposed his nomination on the score of avaia
bility, but will support him as the candidate Of
the Republican party, with cheerfulness. He
will stump the State in support of the ticket.
We have omitted to publish or to notice
statement in vindication Of Mr.. Chase from
the imputation of procuring his election to the
Senate by bargain on the part of his friends,
to which he was alleged to be privy, for the
admission of certain men to contested seats.
We will publish it next week, as it exonerates
Mr.. Chase from all blame in the matter
work of supererogation with those who know
him.
SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.-It is said that in
two months the Submarine Telegraph will have
been laid from the continent to st. Johns, New
foundland, and that from that time we are to
receive news from Europe in six days! The
same Company are also preparing to lay down
wires across the Atlantic, which will enable U.
to read the news from all parts of Europe Of
yesterday, as we do that of New Orleans o,
Canada at present.
GENERAL WILSON'S SpEECH. Every Ant
Slavery Know Nothing and "Native" should
read the speech of General Wilson, on the he
cessity of fusion" We trust that the editors
in Pennsylvania friendly to Freedom will pub,
lish it, for the benefit of those infatuated Naty
lists who dream Of accomplishing anything for
Freedom by the aid of the broken and disor,
dered columns of the secret party. General
Wilson's speech is characterized by strons
sense and manly eloquence.
SENATOR SUMNER.-This gentleman, who has
Just returned from Lake Superior, has written
a characteristic letter to Passmore Williamson
expressing his Indignation at the outrage upon
freedom and humanity. We regret that Mr.. S.
was not on hand to act as his counsel. A
speech from him on that fruitful theme is JUS
the thing demanded by the times. The people
are not yet fully awake to the outrage which
Freedom has sustained in that tyrannical affair
We believe that the thing was deliberately
planned, in concert with the Government herr
at Washington, with view to override the Coz
stitution and laws. Wheeler's plan, backed }!
the Administration, was to pass through Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, and New York, with bis
slaves, and to sail for the free State of Nicars
qua with them, all under color of the underline
immunity of Foreign Minister. He is an e1
cessively weak man-as Mr.. Benton would say,
the "quintessence" of weakness, vanity, and
love Of notoriety, and having been elevated be-
yond his hopes, and still further beyond bis
deserts, he naturally exaggerated his powers
and privileges, and was ready to believe that
any marvel might be accomplished in the au-
gust name Of Foreign Minister.
Wheeler was here with his slaves, we know not
how long, and in the present state of feeling on
the subject of Slavery, he must be the most
unsuspicious of mortals who can doubt that the
whole thing was discussed by the President
and Cabinet, and that Wheeler was encouraged.
if not instigated, to take his slaves to Nicara-
qua.
All the powers ofthe Federal Government ar
bent upon Matchmaking Slavery. The su ppor
of the Missouri rufians, in trampling OH th
rights of Kansas, and the imprisonme Mt q
Passmore Williamson by the unscupnlou
minion, Kane, are but details of the syst EN- q
