The Lincoln orsans have made great
ado over the fact that Senator Wade has
BEEN induced 20 fsfsto stultify himself as
20 dive apparent support to Mr.. Lincoln'
sfter issuing the famous manifesto to which
his signature sppeared attached together
With H. n. Davis, eft Maryland. But he has
not sunk 10 deep in the mire Of self contra,
[diction as 10 be willing to recall the charges
which that manifesto contained. On the
contrary, We observe from the report OF .
speech delivered by him on the 18th ult,
At Meadville, Pas and published in the
Cleveland, O., Leader, rep. that he reaf.
firmed all the charges brought against Mr..
Lincoln in the manifesto. Mr.. Wade, at
the meeting referred to, used the following
aif I opposed the President I did SO be-
cause thought him wrong, and Tor
rather Mr.. Davis and IAwere frank enough
to set il forth. 1 have little to say for my.
self. but I cannot suffer Mr. Davis to be at.
tackled. If free principles are dear to you,
Mr.. DAVIS has more merits than any man
know OF. He has done more to rid Mary
land of slavery than all the rest of the men
in Infinitely more than oil these pltliul
croakers who assail him. He has stood like
Q rock for the truth, and has won noble
victory, aud his enemies shall not traduce
90 glorious champion of Union and liberty
without q protest from me. will not
boast for myself--though one infinitely
greater than / "boasted little but
doesn't it show that Mr.. Davis could ele,
vate himself above the miserable trammels
of party when he announced what he deem
ed a truth, and ,ohat is and soon piH be a
truth? Politicians object that we hurt the
party. But our cause doesn't constrain us
to cover up the truth. (Applause.) l
THINK MY POSITION WAS RIGHT, AND THAT OF
THE President WRONG, and, so betieving, 1
sOitt declare 1T though the heaue,,s fall, and no
earthly dignity nor station shall stand 6etaceen
me and the truth '~-'
Wethink Mr.. Lincoln will have occasion
to cry out and ask to be saved from such
friendship and support" as are given him
BY Ben Wade. Mr.. W. still stands by the
utterances of his manifesto They were
true when made and are true now, he says.
And what are they? They charge Abra-
ham Lincoln with:
"Encroachments On the authority of Con-
gress."
"Grave executive usurpation." & -
"Executive perversion of the Constitu-
ton"
"Holding the electoral votes of the rebel
States at the dictation of his personal am
bition."
"Inauguratlng civil war for the Presi
dency." = 80 So.
"Holding for naugbt the Judgment and
discarding the authority of the Supreme
Court, and striding headlong towards the
anarchy his proclamation of the 9th of De.
csmber inaugurated."
Exercising dictatorial usurpation."
Striking "a blow at the rights of human
| ity and at the principles Of Republican Gov
ernment."
These are few of the many charges en-
braced in the Wade.Davis manifesto. And,
said Messrs. Wade and Davis, if the course
of the President be not changed, then
the supporters of the government be-
come responsible Tor the usurpation they
fail to rebuke and are justly liable to the in
dignatien of the people whose rights and
security committed to their keeping they
have sacrificed. Let them consider the
remedy for these usurpations, and having
found it, fearlessly execute it
| B. F. WADE,
| .. sr .-....l 49,. H. WINTER DAVIS.
The course of the President is not chang
ed one hairs breadth from what it was
when Messrs. Wade and Davis wrote. The
| thermometers of tho 0ovarnmantu ara dater>
mined that it shall be rebuked They have
considered the remedy and found it to be
only in the election of Gen. Mcclellan and
change of administration, and they pro
pose to "fearlessly execute it," By such
support" as Mr.. Wade is giving to Lincoln
he is DUNG his full share towards the &C
complishment of the desired end.
