A Circular Distributed in
Chicago.
WADE's friends are much ~exaspera-
ted at circular being distributed in
Chicago canVassing his claims. 1t first
appeared at the headquarters of the
Indiana delegation.-While admitting
that WADE has many qualities that
entitle him to the consideration of the
Republican party, his advanced age is
put forward in this document, as a
serious objection to his nomination.

"Wade's three.score years and ten
will soon have been completed, and he
should neither be blamed nor blame

natural and usual infrmities. Kind
ness to him, therefore, would lead his
friends not to pass him for the Vice
Presidency. IL would be better for
him to retire from active life, full OF
yeard and of honor, leaving the burden
of Office to yIurger men, than, like
Buchanan, to mar his precious: we'll
earned fame by attempting duties for
which mis- old age un6's him, or like
Harrison and Taylor, to sicken and die
under the WEAKNESS of official labors."
