SOUND AND SENSIBLE sThe following is
reported passage in Logans late speech
at Cairo:
met an influential gentleman the other
day on the cars. He was peace man,
and Judge of the Court. asked him: "
Judge, you are for stopping the war, l
should suppose from your talk
eyes" Co.
"Now, why would you stop it, a2
because the Government can never be
resored by the force Of war;" r..r.t
''Then how would you do it?''
"rm not President" A't@4
/. "Well, supposing you were President,
how would youTesore the Union without
fghtingf" g,,. ....s.
"I'd issue proclamation that if JEFF. Da-
Wis didn't submit, I'd send Commissioners
to negotiate peace" Fng aaE
Suppose that he should tell your peace
Commissioners to get home about their
business, what then?' t' ~ i'@
, "Pd justacknowledgeh neutrality-suspicious."
[Great applause.] sgr.3 aal
The audience did well to honor the senti-
ment OF the mythical Judge with ''great
applause" 1t was one which dirty John
Logan, drawing his 5000 year could
hardly be expected to appreciate, but
which tax ridden and phlebotomized
people can understand and approve. 1t is
one of which Logan himself six months
ago, was heartily in favor. He was pres
ent at Springfield at the time of the concoc-
ton of the famous peace resolutions, and
gave them a cordial assent. He was in ia
vor of the doctrine announced by "the in
fluential gentleman down to the last mo-
ment previous to the birth Of aspirations
for a place in the regular army. Whatev-
or he gets for his duplicity and treachery
will be hereafter known as dirty John
Logan's price,"
We cut the above from the last issue of
the Dubuque Herald. We wish our read
ers to mark the fact that the Herald dis
tinctly approves of the stoppage of the War
for the Union and the acknowledgement
Of the independence of the Confederacy.-
And we wish also to remind them that the
Herald has the name Of General futile at
the head of its columns for Governor.
A CoPPERHEAD REASON FOR SUPPORTING
was small specimen of a
Butternut Pow-wow at Dubuvue on last
Saturday evening. 1t was addressed by
several of that patriotic persuasion. Among
them was one John O'Neill. This fellow
said he was in favor of peace on any
terms-that it was a disgrace to be an Am

that they must all support futile. To this

satisfactory:

believing that Tuttle is a good Democrat,

! do not believe Tuttle is shoddy or green

the General can do more good to our cause
in the army than out of j"
The speaker implored the Copperheads-
he gloried in the name-not to commit
themselves against Tuttle for few days,
and they would get assurances from the
General which, he believed, would satisfy
them all.
