Joined their fortunes to the old Government:
know that they will never recede from it,
There are other States that without con-
sideratlon have thrown the doings of Con-
gress to the winds; are they calculating to
make any other terms :? You have not
called on us for other terms, bat throw
them aside as utterly worthless. And, in
my Judgment, sirs, while | will assure you
that every man in the North is anxious for
this Union rs any man can possibly be, we
regret as much as you can possibly regret,
the circumstances which for a time suspen-
ded our relations. We ardently hope it
may be resumed again upon the principles
of right, justice, liberty, and equality.
! We hope the time is not distant when
this thing will be done; there is 40 doubt
of it, The fat has gone out We shall be
united again, and upon the principles of
I Justice and security, such as will bring no
! further controversy.
I say these Things because many gentle
men have been to me to-day, yesterday,
and the day before to know privately what
my opinions i'll regard to the people of the
| North and this Congress are. Instead OF
answering each individually, as you have
called me ont, I have declared honestly my
! opinion Of the sentiments OF the people o.
! the North. [ rejoice to hear those good
old tunes that bespeak a return OF the sen
timents of those good old times [ hope we
shall see, and [ assure you that when they
do return we are perfectly sure Of that
great principle of constitutional liberty.
| Mr. Wade's remarks were listened tC
with profound attention, and produced a
marked impression upon his auditory.

years, therefore, he may be said to
have abandoned chess altogether.
