From the Warrington Constitution.
Senator Wade's Opinion OF Help
cr'S Book.

1t has been currently rumored since General
Clark, Of Missouri, moved the resolution in the
House OF Representatives relative to the un
worthness of John Sherman, Of Ohio, to be
elesfed SpsalxvT on account OF his endorsement
of the reasonable book Of which a fugitive from
Justice named Heller is the reputed author, that
Mr. Sherman disclaimed all knowledge OF the
contents of that book, did not recollect having
signed the circular recommending it, and that,
though be would not declare openly that he
disapproved its doctrines, yet such was his pri-
yate opinion. This rumor has been industrious
ly circulated by the friends of Mr. Sherman
with a view to get rid ofa portion of the odium
which attaches, in the opinion ofhonest men, to
everybody who endorsed the Heller book. We
did not, and do not, credit the rumor. We
would not permit Mr.. Sherman. or Mr.. Sher-
mans friends to wrgge out Of the conscquen-
ces OF his act; and up to this moment neither
Mr.. Sherman, nor any one on his behalf has
attempted to repudiate or dsapprove the views
sentiments, and recommendations contained in
the "Impending Crisis" On the contrary, Mr.
Wade Of Ohio, United States Senator, took
occasion, in the course of his speech delivered
Yesterday on Mr.. Masons resolution, to defend
his friend, Mr.. Sherman againat the charge OF
unworthiness to fill the Speakers chair, and
especially endeavored to make it appear that
the signing of the circular recommending the
diffusion of the Heller book was an act to which
no lust exception could be taken. Mr.. Wade
did not attempt to deny that Mr.. Sherman did
sign the circular. He did not for moment
pretend that Mr.. Sherman knew nothing of the
character Of the contents of the book when he
signed it, He defended Sherman by defending
the book. He declared that he had tread the
book /" that he found nothing in it that is moi
'y,.st, riqht, and p,oper;" and that therefore, in
advising it's widespread circulation, Mr.. Sher
man had not done anything Of which he hat
any cause to be ashamed, or which could justly
disoualify him for the high position to which
the republicans are trying to elevate him
- We confess that we could hardly believe ou
ears when we heard q senator Of the U. States
ayowing that he had read the Heller book-hat
examined il thorough hly--and that he had no
found anything in it that is not fright, just, an
propsr." In the examination Of this work, Nh
Wah must have read the following appeal Q
the fugitive thief to the "ireemen OF the North:
Z" y Freemen Of th
North we earnestly entreat you to think c
