Wade's Senate Speech Defends Union and Denounces Slavery Stance
In a lengthy address Wade argues against the anti Republican resolutions, attacks the Southern claim to power, and defends the Union. He defends Ohio laws on fugitive slaves, condemns slaveholding, and asserts constitutional rights of states, urging adherence to the Constitution and free labor. He contrasts Northern courage with Southern threats, condemns Dred Scott and calls slavery a false moral basis.
