The following extract from the cores

couclusiveiy that Senator Wade, of Ohio,
| is giving aid aud comfort to the Ken.
}tucky secessionists: @ as
l notice that Hon B. F. Wade, IN his
speech Published iu the Gazette of the
l5th inst. used the following language:

| 20 man. traitors. There are no exeep-

place and Tell me what Buchanan B,eck-
inridge Democrat south of Mason and
Dixon's line is not an open aud avowed
traitor, committing overt acts, and, nnder
the CONSTITUTIONS Of the United States,
Icondemned to death"
Mo Wade's zeal is far in advance Of
mis- knowledge. There are q great many
men in this State who supported Brrek-
in. idge tina are now strong Union mer.

and Hon. John A. Prall of Bourbon, of

three strong and active Union men, It
is to be regretted that NJ. Wade can see
no virtue in any patty that is not for the
abolition of Slavery All his profes-
sions Of devotion to the Union are SO
.inctured with regrophobia that they
plainly evince that the preservation of the
Union is of minor Importance with him,
when compared with the abolition OF
Slavery. If he and his CO workers do
not succeed in utterly destroying the
Union party in Kentucky. it will not be
through lack of persistent efforts to

sush the difference between conGsca

The Democratic Sentiment Beautifully
Expressed.

In his patriotic, glorious and immortal
stanzas to the American Union, the poet
MoRRIs beautifully expresses the Demo
cratic IDEA of Union. He says:
ga Union of Rivers, Uuion of Lakes,
A Union of States none can sever,
A UNION OF HEARTS, A UNION OF HANDS,
American Union foreverl'
For that "Union of hearts and Union
of hands," the Democracy will ever labor.
Their motto is, The Uuion as it was and
the Constitution as it is" uninterrupted
oy the false constructions of its enemies
No other party stands the least chance
or has any idea of restoring the ''Unior
of hearts and Union of hands' between
The North and South but the Democracy.
