DuGAIN, III, July 81.
Gen. Logan addressed about six thousand
persons here to-day. He was enthusiastically
received and applauded throughout. He talk
ed like a man in earnest, who cares nothing
for party, but who is intensely interested in
the welfare OF the country. The drift of his
speech was similar to that delivered at Car
bondale yesterday. He argued that it is the
duty Of every one to stand by the government.
He most numerically condemns all sympa-
thizers with the rebellion, and those who find
so much fault with the President, the army,
the war, and everything else except jeff Da-
Wis & Co. He argued the constitutionality of
the war and its measures, and showed the hy-
pocrisy of those who see so much that is I'M
constitutional in the acts of the administra-
ton, but say nothing against the unconstitu-
tionality OF secession and the acts of the re-
bellion.
