GEN. LOGAN ON PENDLEToN.

There have been great many truthful and
sharp things said respecting this familiar
friehd" of the Great Apostle of Peace, but
nothing more pungent and forcible than has
fallen from his former colleague in the House
that gallant soldier and distinguished Demo-
crat, the devoted friend of Judge Douglas,
Major General John A. Logan. In a power
full and characteristic speech Of his at Carbon
dale III marked by the bluntness Of the SOL
dier and the familiar knowledge of current
oycnts of the skillful politician, Gen. Logan
says: - ..-..I.. .t.sr'rL
They ask me to vote for George b. Nc
Clellsn on such platform as this =? l say, l
won't do it. [Applausc.l They ask me to
vote for George II. Penbleton, and say I
would not vote for him on that or any other
platform, for Vice President or any other Office
if the dev;l were |. candidate against him.
Why do say 50? served with him in Con-
gress, and have been forced and compelled
10 dcnounce him as a traitor; and l have
good right to do so to-day. I have heard from
his lips in the halls Of Congress- before he was
even thought Of as candidate, words OF
treason and disloyalty.
| He has den )unccd this war fromth time it
| commenced. lie has ncgcr rotcd a so,itary
dollar, nor q cent IN favor Of prosecuting Mis
'car, no matter Ao,o the money ~as to be etpen-
Aea-whethcr for grub for the soldiers, or
anything else-not one dollar has he voted
that could be spent in any way against the
rebellion and in favor of the Government l
Iefy his friends to day to point me to one line
or one syllable ever written or uttered by him
N favor of restoring this Government by
putting down the rebclion-not word. But
! if you will read his speeches you will find that
| he had justified secession.
You will fiud that he has advocated State
rights, and said that he believed the people of
the South had right to secede, and the
Government had no right to coercc them back
into the Union. That is the Doctrine he has
advocated, and upon that record people ask
me to vote for him. Again. l defy any man
to show me his letter accepting the nomina-
ton on the Chicago platform, Where is it
why is 1t that no man can Hnu IL Ie ms
never accepted that nomination except by
simple acquiesccnce, and by his being put on
the ticket.
Why is this, I say Because the Chicago
Convention knew, when they adopted that
platform, that Mcclellan would write soft
let ter, sort of for war. saying that he knew
the Convention was for the war, but they for
got to say so, and all that kind of thing.
Laughter. They have prevented Geotgc II.
Pcndlcton from writing : letter, and YEN
ture to say that he will never write one Be-
cause, if they wanted letter from him. IN
less they wrote it themselves he has boen SO
much in the habit of speaking treason that he
could not write anything else. 1t would damn
him before the country, and they knew it.

LABOR NOW.
lFrom the philadelphia North .imcric.

[From the Philadelphia North Americana
Now for THE electiOn--the great poll which
contaius and c6hstrues, which translates and
gives broad efficacy to every othcr--which
when it is clear, decided and right, dictates
the policy and direction of the nation in favor
Of every NATIONAL interest, while, when it is
wrong this policy is not only permitted, but
almost compelled, to he as selfish, short-sighted
ard suicidal as was that which allowed our
disputes to grow into rebellion, and encouraged
our differences to burst into civil war
The State election was important rather as
an indication than of its own weight We
do not disparage its meaning. 1T locked Up
great issues But it was local, and touched
the greatest Issues only partially and indirect
ly. The election in November affects the
State much more potchtly th'h the one just
concluded, while it reaches out over broader
expansc, for a longer period, AID imposes its
results with equal significance and authority
over all the State, individually and collectively
1t is not dead thing which may by possi-
bility have influence The influence is instant
and will be instantly perceptible. 1t is not a
pretty theory, as apt to injure as to benefit.
The advantages which will flow to every State
are the most practical which can be conceived
and are not shrouded from comprehension by
any wells. 1t directly afhrms the continuation
Of the Union; the maintenance of our nation
ulity; the development of our wealth i'm
checked by growing evils, and it the true
spirit of the Constitution. 1t carries aid to
those gallant armies which 80 steadily advance
upon trcsson, and buttresses their every
. achievement against possible loss 1t incar-
mates every valuable, worthy chd useful thing
which has been dreamed or Designed since
Penn placed one philanthropy on foot here
And the Pilgrims another OH other soil.
We arc greatly checred to this great work
by that already accomplished. Pennsylvania
has grown in her appreciation of its impor-
tancc Other States have done the same.
Maine and Vermont led OFF bravcly in the
right direction. Maryland has done nobly {;
and the evidence from all quarters wears the
brightest and most horefal aspect. Buta few
weeks clapsc before our faith will be read in
our performance. That performance has its
roots in what is now done, doing and to be
done. How all essential it is, therefore, that
instead of rcposing upon what has been ac-
complishcd that accomplishment should be-
come the stimulus to fresh effort and more
untring labor
The work of Union men, for the Union, so
far from having rest, has now just begun.
Little more than three weeks elapsc before the
polls will be re-or"rcd to this greater struggle.
And it is no slight satisfaction to say that they
will open encouraged by the recent results,
with those presages Of success which render
victory almost certainty. The whole num-
ber of electoral votes is now two hundred and
thirty. One hundred and sixteen are consc-
quently requisite for choice. They are dis

HooD's PoLIrIcAL FAMURg.-It seems that
the present, or rather the late offensive cam
pagn of Hood was actually undertaken as a
means of afiording aid and comfort to the
peace party of the North. JEFF. Davis, him
SELF confessed so in his speech delivered at
Augusta on the Sd inst just prior to Hoods
advance. He said "Wc must beat Shcr-
man we must march into Tennessee /; there
We will draw from go, 900 to 10000 to our
standard, and SO strengthened, we must push
the enemy back to the Ohio. and thus give
the peace party of the North an accrction no
puny editorial can give" The peace party
must greatly grieyc over the i'll fortune which
has bcfallen the army of Hood in its desperate
effort to aid them. Their newspapers and
speakers give abundant evidence of their dis
appointment.-N Y. Times.

PRESIDENT LINOoLN's SPEECH.

President Lincoln, in answer to a serenade
from loyal Maryanders on the night of the
18th, spoke as follows:
Il am notified that this is compliment
paid me by the loyal Marylandcrs resident in
in this district. infer that the adoption Of
the new Constitution for the State furnishes
the occasion, and that, in your view, the ex-
tirpation Of slavery constitutes the chief merit
of the new Constitution.
"Most heartily do | congratulate you and
Maryland, and the nation and the world upon
the event. l regret that it did not occur two
years sooner, which l am sure would have
saved to the nation more money than would
have met all private loss incident to the meas
urc. But it has come at last, and | sincerely
hope its friends may fully realize all their
anticipations of good from it, and that its OPP
popents may, by its effects, be agrecably and
proftaJly disappointed
"A word upon another subject. Some
thing said by the Secretary of State, in his
recent speech at Auburn, has been construed
by some into a threat that, if shall be beaten
at the election, | will, between then and the
end of my constitutional tern, do what l may
be able TO ruin the Government. Others re-
gard the fact that the Chicago Convention
adjourned, not sine die, but to meet again il
called to do so by particular individual as
the m,imaton Of a purpose that, if their nom
ineG shall be elected, he will at once seiGc the
control of the Government. | hope the good
people will permit themselves to suffer no uu-
casincss on this point
am struggling to maintain the Govern
mcnt not to overthrow it. | am struggling
especially to prevent others from ovcrthrowing
it. therefore say that, If shall live, shall
remain President until the 4th of next March
and that whoever shall be constitutionaly
elected therefor, in November, shall be duly
Installed as President on the 4th of March
and that u the interval shall do my utmost
That whoever is to hold the helm for the mex
voyage shall start with the best possible chance
to save the ship.
"This is due to the people, both on princ
ple and under the Constitution. Their will
constitutionally expressed, is the ultimate law
for all. If they should deliberately resolve
to have immediate peace, even at the loss o.
their country and their liberties, | know no
the power or the right to resist them. 1t ii
their own business, and they must do as they
please with their own believe, however
they are still resolved to preserve their coun
try and their liberty, and in this Office or Gu
/ am resolved to stand by them.
II may add that in this purpose to saw
the country and its liberties, no classes 0
people seem so nearly unanimous as the sol
diers in the field and the seamen aaoat. d.
they rut have the hardest of it Who shoult
quail while they do not? God bless the sol
diers aud scamcn, with all their brave com
manders,"

A VERDICT.

Mcclellan was appointed, At the commence
mcnt of this war, by the Republican Governor
of Ohio, a Major General, to organize the
militia of that State for the purpose of defence.
Subsequently, he WIS appointed by a Republi-
can President Major General in the Regular
Army, from the State of Ohio. His status,
in this war, therefore, is that of man owing
his position to the State of Ohio Well, he
has been nominated as candidate for tho
Presidency, and at the very first chance Ohio
gets, she turns her back upon him in the most
emphatic and unmstakablc manner. Her
recent election is an expression of sublime
contempt for him and his aspirations To
make tho rebukc tho morestriking, she last
year defeated his friend and adviser, Tallandig-
ham, in the most overwhelming style; and
this year, his associate on the ticket, Fendlc-
ton, long Il m6mber of Congress from Ohio,
and still a resident of Cincinnati, receives the
same reward.
Thus Ohio clears her skirts cr al completely
with this coppcrhcad ticket. Cincinnati never
gave SO signal a majority as she has just done
against Pcndctoh. She is determined, as
Ohiois, that no responsibility shall attach to
her for this abominablc Chicago contrisancc
to humble tic standard Of The republic Iii Tie
dust And while this is the case with regard
to Ohio, Mcclellan suffers equally iu his
birthplace; Philadelphia Last year she
closed her ears against his letter appealing oil
behal of his friend Judge Woodward, and gave
a memorable majority against him and his as
sociatcs. This year she increases her ma
ljority. Her rccreant son is no source of prido
to the old cradle of liberty In the year 1776
noblcr child than Mcclellan was borne here.
1t was christened the United States Of America
Liberty stood godmother to it, and Washing
ten godfather Philadelphia has too much
love for that priceless offspring to feel any re-
gard for such an infinitely reduced specimen
of human greatness as Mcclellan. and she has
reptdiatcd him forever. Thus rejected by
his birth place and by the State to which ho
owes his position, he appropriately seeks
refuge in Gotham. .--Phita North American.

1t is possible that the votes Of the partially

The REASON WHY NAPOLEON WANTS
TExAs.-Who that understands the history
of Texas, from the day that the FIRST cotton
seeds were planted there, but knows that the
Third Napoleon, BY his invasion Of Mexico,
means anything but the conquest and control
of Mexico-he cares nothing for Mexico,
only as the means of controlling Texas ana
keeping his fingers on Texas cotton. The
writer saw the first bale of Texas cotton
packed, and for years watched the French
agents and French houses, always on hand
70 buy the best portion Of that silky fiber
and so absolutely necessary has il become to
France and her silk manufacturers, that Louis
Napoleon hopes to offer terms to Texas that
will enable her (taking advantage Of this re-
bellion) TO declare her independence and give
him an ample supply of the silky-staple Of
that region. He ne more wants Mexico than
a coach wants its fifth wheel, only as it will
give him power there to support Texas and
keep up his supply Of Texas cotton. So I'M
portant has this cotton become to France that
he must have it or the silk manufacturers Of
France viii langaish. Any person con-
versant with the manufactures OF that
country knows that from one-third to
two-thirds of the stock Of French silk
fabricks is composed Of Texas cotton.
There is no doubt that since the battle Of San
Jacinto, France has pocSeted at least one
hundred millions OF dollars for Texas cotton
which she has sold for silk. Under this
statement Of facts can any one doubt that it
is Texas cotton that Louis Napoleon is afters
A dealer in French silks here tells me that
he has had ostensible French silks that were
two thirds cotton, while the poorest that you
can now find here is one-third cotton. Does
il not behooye our Government to look to
this and see that Louis NAPOLEON through.
