ZEN. WADE AGAIN HEARD FROM.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The Nation
al Republican recently announced 10y
reliable authority that Ben. Wade has
become reconciled to the Presidents 's
policy. This has called forth letter
from the ex Senator to the ReD LtticGll
in which he says: "While | am now
as ever, as a Republican, anxious for
the success of that party, believing
that it has done more to sustain the
rights of man aud promote the princi-
Piles of just government than any po-
litical organization of which We have
any account, | cannot permit my SEN
timents to be misrepresented. Now, l
should like to know who. or what is
your reliable authority for the above
statement c. rtainly | have author
lied no one to make such a statement
or any other. Since my letter to Mr..
Painter, which WAS surreptitiously
published. | have written to no one
upon the Presidents policy, and have
subject, and then always in defense of
the sentiments of that letter which
few hereabouts oppose. L regret to
say that all thaE has since trauspired
in the South aud in the North has but
confirmed lie in the correctness of the
statements expressed in that letter.
will add, that greatly lear this policy
under tie color OF what is called
Local Self-governmeEt,' is but an ig
nominious surrender of the principles
of nationality for which our armies
fought, and for which thousands upon
thousands of brave men died, and
without which the war was a failure
and our boasted Government myth. p"
