our REPRESENTATIVE IN THE
SENATORIAL CAUCUS.

which relates moro particularly to the nc
ION of our Representative in the Lcgisla-
Asher Cook--at the first meet
ng Of the caucus
The following extracts arc from the Gin
,innati Commercials account Of the pro-
,ccdings:
There was presented memorial from a
number of Union Democrats in caucus, re-
lucstig tho Republicans no longer to press
Wade as candidate, and promising to
Weld personal preferences, aud conccde to
their right to- present any man or mcn' lhis
being conceded they would not present
any candidate of Democratic antccedents
Mr.. Cook dhG- Wade Republican, moved
that the request of the Union Democrats bc
acccdcd to. He thought the interests OF
one man should not override the interests
of the Union party, and perhaps not only
the welfare, but tie rcyy existence Qf the
RcpgbHc'
Mr.. Corey Union Democrat entered the
Union party with the understanding that
the anteCedcnts of all men were to be laid
aside, but tho whole argument hero was
based on the proposition that certain gen
tloman years ago was obnoxious. They
mako il condition TO their remaining in
the Union party that Wade be Withdrawn.

Wdde! ! No man can specify an act OF his
within the past two years that is even radi-
cal NOhig cdn he W'ged against him
that cannot also b. WYcd against LiHc0i,,
oud his Cu6inef. No man who desires the
success of our armies and the preservation
of our liberties III preference to tho success
of any man is going to retire from Me
Union party if Wade is nominated. Ohio
is now looked upon rs the Keystone of the
Arch. and if she stands firm the armies OF
the Republic will talio courage. 1t was
said in tho Charleston Convention that il
Douglas were withdrawn, any other nai
might be presented, But it was not Dong
las they objected tot was the prtHGtph
hc represented, SO it il horo Wade is
an exponent Of principles in the State and
nation. II is decdase he is u Representatives
IF opinions that we desire Ills homtHGti0H
AND THAT OTHERS OPPOSE rr! The majority
could not sacrifice principle.
Mr.. Myers had been politician for fifty
years, and Herer heUH u proposition to &c
cl,3e any man fyom deiag a candidate
lIo proposed to go into ballot, aud if the
majority favored nominating any other man
than Wade, his friends shall sacrifice then
preference if the majority favor Wade
others shall mako sacrifice.
Mr.. E.glostun moved that tho caucus
proceed to ballot, and that II majority OF al
the votes cast he necessary to choice.
Mr.. West declared it would ho an outrag,
to force MIR. Wade ont of the caucus. The
proposition should ho withdrawn. ltwoul,
bo voted down. he cOHh not cote IL ejec

Mr. Egglestun's resolution was adopted
by u large majority.
NJ. Cooi' declared that lie coUid not b,
fi0thcr bOl0d 6g the action Of he caucus
mid took his lat m'd lett!
At the timo of his ole, ton, Mr.. Cook rc
ccivcd the votes of mon who were cnthusi
astic in their support Of Hon, j, +, Wade
and we are assured by persons well ac
quaintcd throughout this Reprcscntativ,
District, that without such votes Mr.. Cool
could not now have occupied seat in the
Ohio Legislature. True, had he been elect
cd solely by the votes Of Waldo mon, il
docs not necessarily follow that ho would
support Mr. Wado, but very ordinary re
spcct for the sentiments of Il large class Oi
his constituents, should at least have in.
ducod him not to make SO unsracetul NJ,
exit from the caucus, simply because Mr.
Wadc's name was not summarily olcctod
Tho report givcn herewith classes Mr.
Cook as "anti-Wado Republican we &C
knowledge our inability to highly apprc
cato that repuJhcmliSm which wOul,
exclude the name of an honest, faithful
man from being presented by his friends II,

recommend as reliable that vision whicl
soes danger TO the rery existence Of III,

We call attention TO tho following, iron
the Cincinnati gazette Of Monday last;
If there were at any time doubt Ms t.
the man whom the Union mon of Obi
should elect United States Senator, the ha
rod of every scVcssionst for Wade ough
