Anothcr war-worn Democrat,

Anuther Wnr-worn Democrat,
Gen. John A. Logan was elected
to Congress from Egypt or South
crn Illinois, by $1,000 majority! lie
was an ultra, Slavery, Negro
Hating Democrat, and no man made
more fiery, vindictive speeches against
his opponents, than Gen. Logan. -
When war had wagcd some time, he
went TO Richmond, TO confer abort
peace. The Rebels told him that il
the Il. S. Government would give
them blank sheet ofpapcr to prepare
their own terms, they would agree TO
nothing hut complete and eternal
sepparatiOn. Logan made up his
mind that the war could only he end
ed hy the sword-abandoncd his non
coercivc polcy--wcnt homc-rallied
his ncighhors around the Old Flag
and for two years has been doing
good service in the bloody fields from
Kentucky to Nicksburg Last week,
he came home through Cairo, when
thousands gathered around him for
q speech. We extract a few speci-
mems:
at makes no difference whether
YOU call me Democrat, Republican. or
Abolitionist--as some have of late
named me. / am for my country
every time-for my country first, last
and always; and I am fighting for the
right Of that country to he numbered
among the honored nations OF the
earth. Until that is brought about,
and this rebellion crushed out, | am
but an American citizen. When that
right shall have been asserted, then.
should we find there is something
wrong in the fabric that our fathers
reared, something we desire to change
it will he time enough tn como "i. "''''
ucmand the change. Now we have
this accursed rebellion to root out
1t must be rooted out. / am for using
every means and all means for put
ting it toan end. lfthe people at the
North would use the same force JEFF.
Davis and his minions use, this war
would be successfully terminated in
less than three months.
Nallandigham says he travelled over
the Confcdcracy-and has not met
man, woman or child who does not
sustain the war. and who mot detcrn.
ined to fight il out to the death or tho
litter end. Nalimdigham here sim
ply lies. He tells what is not true
and he knows it. The people who arc
fighting against This Goverumcut-th,
poor whites comprising the rank and
file of the rcbelion-nine tcntls oi
them, do not know what they are
fighting for; do not know what they
are fighting against. a majority o
them dv not know anything ant
hundreds never saw the American flag
in their lives until they saw it marcl
into Vickshurg in triumph. They d'
not know the Forth of July, or any
thing else that is good. But, poo
and ignorant as they are, let then
express their own free minds. and the,
will, almost to man. demand spec
dv termination of this war-woulC
submit to almost anything rather THAI
fight one day longer rs they have beci
fighting. 1t is only by the force o
hayonets that their army is kept to

their dcscrtcrs from ilocking int,
