Senator Wade OF Ohio.

kEEOul Fu8 NsW 4OrA fo5L.
The Portage County Democrat thus
speaks of the election of q United States
senator in Ohio:
HAs the time approaches for the reas-
sembling Of the Ohio Legislature, great in
terest begins to be manifested in regard to
the election of United States senator in
place Of Mr.. Wade, and the sensation
seems to be quite universal in other states
as well as-in Ohio, that there is none so
fit, in this oonjuncture, to be his successor,
as himself Mr.. Wade is a man of eour-
age, energy and decision Of ability and ex-
perienee Of true patriotism and devotion
10 the Union, and ought to command the
confidence and suRrages Of all the 10y
al"
We but echo the universal opinion Of the
Republicans and Union men OF this state
when we say that we heartily approve tn
remarks Of the Democrat. At the same
time we are pleased to learn from good
sources that some twelve or fifteen mem
bers Of the Ohio legislature, who last sea-
son did not vote for Mr.. Wade, have re-
solved TO give him their cordial support,
and make him his own successor in the
place be now so nobly hlls.
We are also glad to learn that the dis
tinguished and sble Secretary Of the Treas
ury most emphatically denies that letter,
mentioned in the Ohio papers, will bear
any construction that he is opposed, or
that or will under any circumstances, op-
pose the return Of Mr.. Wade to the Senate.
The country needs Mr.. Chase, with his
0raat ability and intaOritv in The raaDor
sible place he now occupies, as it needs
the bold and fearless and honest Wade in
the Senate Of the United States.

proclamation and plan Of compensated

The declaration was published in the
Cambridge Dorset Intelligeneer, and the
Ex-Governor has stood up to it like man.
I do not profess to give the precise words,
but they convey the substance of the dec.
laration.
This declaration Of his position will en-
sure his election to Congress from the FIRST
district, for there is no Eithstanding his
popularity when on the right side. I be-
lieYe have already written you that near
ly all the principal citizens of Dorset are
in favor Of emancipation, and the good
work is rapidly spreading. The friends
Of emancipation now consider two districts
as certain TO return emancipationists-
Holiday Hicks and Winter Davis-and we
do not despair of carrying the other three
districts in the same cause.

Whereabouts Of Banks.
