WASHINGTON, March Ia, 1853.
There is one Republican member of the Senate
who has always commanded the warmest regard of
his political friends and extored the fullest respect
of his opponents, by simply conforming his practice
to his principles, and defending them with down.
right and manly earnestness which gave those who
were inclined to gOrify their own prowess by assa-
ing others who do not recognize their code Of
chivary TO understand that if ever critical point
came there would be blows to give as well as blows
to take. refer to Judge Wade of Ohio, who is
here and elsewhere recognized as among the bravest
and best champions of the great cause which now
engages the interest of the whole country, and
especially of the Free States, whose rights are
again assaled by the aggression Of ultras who seek
to rule this Union by the power of an Olgarchy
grown insOlent from continued success He has
always spoke as he felt, asking no quarter and Civ
ing none, and by this means has established char
acter for directness and decision which the Sham
Democracy have found convenient TO avoid, or at
least not TO disturb by any unnecessary contention.
His speech, yesterday, was full of marrow and
grit, and enuncated with courage which did ones
heart good to hear. No mealy ymOuthed phrases and
excessive eOnyentionaisms, but strong and stirring
old English, that had the ring of the true metal He
literally carried the war into Arica telling the South
how they were the aggressOrs and proving il by
the annexation of foreign territory in Texas by an
OdOus fugitive slave law, by the repeal of the Mis-
sour Compromise, and lastly, by the undisguised
purpose Of forcing shave Constitution on Kansas,
which was scorned and repudated BY the great
mass of her people In the course of his remarks
he ran all amusing parallel between past and present
doughfacos, TO this effect when old Moses,
said he, 'enticed whole nation of slaves 10 run
'away no doubt he was denounced by Pharaoh
"and the chvalry of Egypt as furious Abolition
"ist, but there were dOughfaces then as now.
There we're some who preferred Slavery in
Egypt to freedom in Canaan, and those he sup
posed would be called National men-not
Northern men with Southern principles, but
49, lsraeltes with Egyptian principles. ."
