The Words of Soldier TPue and
Reen us his Sword.
The ringing speech of Major General Logan, de-
lvered at Duquon, Illinois ON the 3lst ult should
be flung broadcast over the land 1t is full of sol
dierly vim and dashng patriotism and timely
truth. 1t is the testimony of competent witness
and the General talks as he fights to the purpose
We give couple of brief extracts to~day, anC
first about the worth of the Union:
II hear it said that enough blood has been spill
already that we ought TO stop it that this wa
ought to cease, I hear of men making speeche
around through the country, and appealing to thu
women and children to know if this war has no
gone on long enough, and if it ought not to b;
stopped before any more blood is shed. They APP
! peal to the gray-headed men, and they say, 'Yor
have lost your brothers, and sons, and grandsons
The soil is wet with their blood. 1t is a bloodJ
war, unnatural war, hence let us stop it. Eel
low citizens, it is true that many a brave man hat
| been lost We have lost many brave soldier
Perry county has buried many of her cherished
sons On the soil of the South we have buried
many more, who there sleep the sleep that knows
no waking. But we have buried them with hon.
or They have died like true patriots and soldiers
shouting Let me die Ike a soldier of the Union
would rather die like soldier than live like q
traitor. Applause. They want to stop the wal
to prevent the further effusion of blood. Fellow
citizens, this Government is Government that
we all love, once loved. We love the people
the country, the rivers, the rocks the trees, every
hing in it. They are ours. 1t is our people ouI
rivers our lakes, our shores, our rocks our noun.
tains, our rills hollows. 1t is our people, our
Government--the best and brightest that ever ex-
listed on earth I; and before l would see this wal
stop until the Government is restored in all its
former power and supremacy, would rather see
the graves of ours 2lves our sous and our brother
mountains high. l would rather see carcasses
sufficient to make bridges across the widest streams
before this war should stop, until the true soldier
of the Union could wave his sabre in his strong
right hand and cleave the head from every traitor
in the land. Loud applause.1 This Government
is worth fighting for. 1t is worth generations and
centuries of war. 1t is worth the lives of the best
and noblest men in the land, and may they all be
sacrificed before the war shall stop and leave on
armed traitor in the land. [Applause.l We will
fight for this Government for the sake of ourselves
and our children. Our little ones shall read in
history of the men who stood by the Government
in its dark and gloomy hours, and it shall be the
proud boast of many that their fathers died in this
glorious struggle for American liberty
And here are bis concluding words and fit to be
engraved on all mems minds:
In conclusion, let me give you this advice
Quit your quarreling Be for your Government
in spite of what anybody may say. Swear that
you are for your country anyhow in spite of what
anybody may say, and prove your faith by your
works. Do the work. Assist the soldier--help
him; don't support and sustain deserters Be
glad to meet soldier because he is a soldier If
you cannot fight, you can work and you can show
by your action that you for your country
When these gentlemen get to talking and saying
i am for the Union as it was. and the Constitution
as it is I am for the Union, but then must have
it consitutonally : that is TO say, they are for sit
ing down quietly and telling the Government to
go to thunder. They will do nothing to save it
You just tell them this; Say, Square, I am for
the Union right or wrong See if they will say
much. He will say, I'm for the Union, but I
must have the Constitution Then put another
question TO him Tell him you are for the success
of the United States army and navy. no matter
who is Presdent-no matter what men are in the
Cabinet, or who are in the majority in Congress
Ask him this question. Tell him you are for the
Union-you are not for any man who is not for

Union, and foe to those who are not for it. You
VIII make good Union nal out of him if you
can make him consent to these propositions, and
if he will act accordingly. If he won't, then his
Unonsm is not worth the snap of your finger
LApplause.I l have said to you all that desire
to say have made no speeches since this war
commenced, and l hope you will excuse me TO
the desultory manner in which l have spoken to
you. What / have said l have said bluntly.-
What have said feel. Consider whether the
advice have given is good or bad. If it is good
act on it Be tor your country ali The time"
