| A Noble Speech OF General John A.
Logan.
General John A. Logan. before the war
member of Congress, and ore of The most
influential leaders of the Democratic party
in Illinois, now Brigadier General in the
Federal army. was on a visit to his home
in Southern Illinois last week, and, IN a
recent speech ut Carbondale, uttered the
following noble sentiments-in glorious
contrast to the partisan harangucs of the
Richardson's and Aliens in the Vallaudig.
ham State Convention last week.
The C4rbondAle 7Tmes gives the follow
ing report of his speech, which it says was
the best of bis.liie, and drew forth rounds
of applause from his bearers: rlf- -
The circumstances under which we meet
are strangely different from those of any
other period of our history AT other times
we met to descant upon the advantages al nd
blessings of this great and good Govern
ment, and the best political measures 10
perpetuate free institutions; now the great
question is, how shall we save It from the
vortex of rebellion, from the whirlpool of
| treason which is threatening to overwhelm
and utterly destroy republican liberty In
regard to the best method of crushing tue
rebellion and ending the war, almost every
| oue has his own views, and not few are
ready to lose confidence in the ability of
the Government, because this or that policy
was not adopted, because this or that de.
feat occurred, or in consequence of some
imaginary or real mistake that has been
made. This is all wrong. The men who
are guiding the ship of State have done the
best they could, and are entitled to our
confidence and sympathy. They are but
men, and we Should strengthen the hands
| of the President ana our Generals in this
trying hour, by overlooking mistakes and
using our influence in trying TO impart to
others confidence in those ON whose shoul
ders rest so much responsibility. How lit
tie do we know of the tolls, the cares and
the anxiety of those brave hearts who have
labored with all their might 10 crush out
the monster Secession.
These are times that demand the most
heroic energy aud undaunted bravery
Every patriot in the land is called upon to
come to the rescue of this country, to do
his part in this struggle, and the man who
fails to lend his influence and energies in
this crisis, who fingers while liberty hleeds,
is worthy of traitors doom. This is a
fearful War, the influence of which will be
felt for ages. II isze struggle between
might, between rcpublicanism and anarchy.

a cunning and powerful foe with which 10
contend-he is 10 fearful earnest, aud has
