A Modest Man.

Ben. Wade made speech in
Cincinnati, on Saturday, in
which he outdid himself. He
complained that some republican
papers had been carping at him
lately because he neglected to d.
late on the rights of labor, but he
wished to inform the world that
the proudest period of his life
was when he worked upon the
canal as a common laborer.
We would not be surprised if
he was more useful in that capaci-
ty than in his present one.
Gle said Johnson was making
the most terrible usurpations to
effect the generalization of the
republican party: that his recent
acts were in defiance of Congress.
but that there was a power in
front of the throne which may yet
prove stronger than the throne
itself. He admitted he voted for
johnson, but if God would forgive
him for that, his other offences
would little trouble him. He
(Wade) might yet be judge in
Israel and have occasion yet to
pass judgment on the offences
of that man Johnson, for whose
abuse Of Office. as President he
should certainly inaict the high
est penalty"
Here is the man who is to be
President if Mr.. Johnson is i'm
peached, and who, by virtue of
his office as Senator, is a member
Of the high court of impeachment,
openly Boosting of the penalty he
would infict, and convicting his
victim before trial. Comment is
unnecessary.

twenty FIVE or thirty years ago, having
by his first wife one son, George. He
left this wife and son and came to this
country, and married second, third
