WAautSarox. JAN E
Considerable excitement having been ere
ated to-day, by M attempt to assassinate Sen
ator Wade, OF Ohio, have been at Aome pains
to ascertain the following particulars, which
are reliable:
4 short time after LIT. Wade delivered his
speech in the Senate on the question Of seces-
sion, he received an abusive letter from mnn
named Phelps, from Mississippi, concluding
with the remark that lie would shortly come
to Washington a0d shoot him.
On New Years morning man called ut the
lodgings Of Edward Wade, member Of the
House and brother Of the General, and In.
quircd If he was named Wade, and had made
speech lately in the Senator MI. Wade rc-
marked that be was brother Of the Senator,
mud told the man where to find tho Ar, Wade
he was in putsuit Of
Mr. Edward Wade, upon rejecting upon the
matter, appearance and manner Of the man,
had his suspicious excited, and be- wrote to
some friends Of his brother boarding at the
same house, putting them on their guard.
About 3H o'clock on yesterday afternoon, 4
man called at Nina. Hsatt's, where tho Senator
boards, and asked to sec him. The servant
! reported that lie Has at dinner, when the man
/ remarked that he would call in an hour. The
| seryant announced the message to the Senator
| at tho table, and after dinner Mr. Edgerton, Of
Ohio, who boards nt the same house, called the
servant privately aside. aud told hin, If the man
| called, not to show him the Senator'S room, but
| to take him to tile par}or. The suspicious IN
dividual made his appearance punctual]y at
| ~ O'Clock, and was shown TO the par1or. He
| objected going there ot first, and insisted upon
being shown directly to the Senator's room,
but yielded finally when Mr. Edgcrton stepped
into the ball and Invited him ID. He wanted
to know whether he was Senator Wade. Mr.
| E answered in the negative, and then asked
the man his name. This he declined to give,
and persisted 10 his desire to see Mr.. Wadc
Immediately. Mr. Edgcrton said he could not
see him unless he gaSa his name. The man
| asked Why; and said he had heard, but did
not believe people was so badly scared In
| Washington. He then asked him where he
lived. The man replied in Msssachusetta, He
then remarked that he would not give his
| name, but attend to his business with The Sen
| ator at some other time Taken In connection
| with therepcated threats made a9ninst Senat or

Tic 1e1egrnphic synopsis Of the speech
Of Mr.. Douglas delivered in the Senate on
Thursday last, does not perhaps furnish
sufficient data Oh which to judge correctly
- to what is his real position in the pres
eot crisis. Some regard it as letting
down from the opinions which he hns
heretofore expressed relative to the man
ucr in which attempted secession should be
met while others fail to discover that such
Is the fact. For ourselves. we desire to
treat Mr. Douglas with the utmost fairneas.

This is no time to condemn men whose
cooperation is decmed necessary for tic
preservation OF all that we hold dear in our
civil institutions, without at least full
hearing. Weawait therefore, full report Of
the late speech Of 31r. Douglas,
before deciding whether ho has met the
crisis as ststesn1an and patriot and spo-
ken such words as his admirers had right
to expect Of him in the present emergency.
In his Norfolk speech, in August last, Mr..
Douglas fully committed himself to the
maintenance Of the Union intact That
speech gave unbounded satisfaction, bot11
to his political friends and opponents in
the free States. We believe the Dougl:'s
Democrats throughout the Northwest still
adhere to the doctrines Of that speech, and
intend to nb!de By them to the last We
desire to believe, aud shall so believe until
compelled to adopt the contrary opinion,
that they are the sentiments Of Mr. Douglas
