These are the words Of a man who means
what he says. Mr.. WADE was a Republican
before HAYES was born. H. was one of
the founders OF the Republican party. He
fought the battle against the champions of
slavery before the party was organized aud
throughout its long and memorable career
h. has borne conspicuous part in all it,
great struggles. li.name appears In every
page Of it, history, aud bis bold, faithful
uncompromi-ins devotion to its prime pies
J. known ami appreciated of all men.
Mr. WADE has never more faithfully ut
tered the sentiment of those who are
Republicans in spirit and in truth,
than in the lotter quoted above. What ne
say of the so-callrl policy OF Mr.. HAYES
Is precisely what all earnest Republicans
think and feel
ind yet, as MI WADE says, HAYES pro
poses to destroy the Republican party and
set up a bastard Wing party in its place in
his own interest! Truly says the Good Book
although thou should-t bray fool in "a NOR
tar among wheat with pestlc yet will not
hl- lOoiishness depart from him. The oN-
ample OF TYLER and of JOHNSON might have
warned him, but he would not bc instructed.
His punishment cannot he avoided, or long
delayed; and it Will be adequate 10 his
offences
