'sEen Reasons why B. r. Wade shouid not
be re-electgd.''
Lei not our readers be startled By this
hesding. We sre not going to turn
around snd oppose Mr.. Wsde on sOOOuut of
our personal piques; s0s are not leading 3
pack Of hounds upon him, each one yelping
end snarling because he has too much in
dspsadsnes to be gulled BY their former
asRvile awning; zoe are not Outraging al
truth and decenoy by pretending that he is
not the choice Of the people Of Ohio. But
this heading was upon 9 document which
vas freely circulated ct Columbus, just
before the Senatorial caucuses, and which
vas put into The box ofeVery member Of the
Legislature, hoping to influence their votes
thereby.
Now let us see what these ''tsn reasons"
ere
1sE Il would give both D. S. Senator'S
70 Eortkern Ohio, contrary to agreement. e
I'd. Twelve years is long enough for
good man, and much too long for fansti-
N4tlf HAEAb 4N1 rpAAH AHQAAb4VAAobs
3D.. he has frequently and publicly re-
commended resistance to the Laws Of Con-
gress to blood, after solemnly swearing to
support them.
4th. When first elected By bargain with
the Abolition balance Of POSOT party, it was
aaeosssGry evil and not by the desire Of the
party.
9Th. BE is intemperste.
9Th He uses PrOfane and vulgar Lam
guags.
7tk. He has more brass than brains.
Sth. he is and has been leading dis.
unionist, and has been sowing the wind
from which We are now reaping the Whirl-
wind
eth. He was one Of the principal inEti-
gators Of q on 70 Richmond pressure, and
Bulls Bun disaster.
10Th. BE has disgraoed Ohio and the
Union toe long already.
Now is there 9 man in Ohio, possessed Of
9 particle Of manly Independence
or ordinary decency, who does not
feel ashamed that such contemp-
fibls documents as that are used to
influence the Ohio Legislature. Their utter
fAlsity is only equaled by their coarse Vul-
Farity and malice There has been no
aagrssnenP as 10 the location Of the Sen
atorship, but II there had been, it must
have been accorded to Northern Ohio,
for in the Morning LEADm Of Feb
Fuary 18th, it was shown by names
and dates complete, that Of the
sixty years which have passed since Ohio
vas admitted s. Satisfying one hun
drsd and twenty years Of Senatorial ser
vice-Northern Ohio has hsd the Senator
ship twenty-five years and six months,
while Southern Ohio has had it for ninsty-
fee gears and siz months.
Again, at the present time, let il beun-
dsrstood that the opposition to Mr.. Wade
comes from Northern Ohio and not from
Southern Ohio, for reasons which are
sstforth in an extract We publish elsewhere.
OF al the river country, from NellsViIle to
Indiana, the member from Portsmouth is
the only one who opposes Mr. Wade, ex-
ospting one half Of the old Democratic c0un-
ty of Hamilton. The chief traducers and
maHgners Of Mr.. Wads'gO from Cleveland
and It Wss reported and fully believed in
Columbus, that this document was printed
ct the Plaindealer Office and circulated BY
the Herald clique.
The foundation Of the rest Of the "rea-
sons" are equally unsOund and untrue. The
people sf Ohio have watched B. F.Wade and
know what he is, and the people Of Ohio
call for his restoration to bis present POSI-
ton. Disappointed and ambitious office
seekers may ViAdiotisely pursue and attack
him, but the people knew that be Is ''the
right man in the right plaoe. = -e
