As our readers are aware, Meior Gen.
eral John A. Logan recently lett his com.
mand 10 Georgia for visit to his home
in Caaboadsle, 10 the Southern part oi
this State, which he reached last week
By the invitation Of bis old friends and
neighbors at Carboodale, he spoke pub
licly on Saturday, making a most able
aud telling argument against the dastard.
y and hypocritical c:urse of the Demo.
cratic party and its candidates, -~,t
| 1t will be remembered that Gse, Logan
was Senator Douelaa' especial friend
bis confidential advisor, snd used to be
called Douglas right hasd man" q TO-

fail to give due consideration to The views

Convection 10 this city, and exposing ito

will tell you THAT the platform is nothing,

come together again, and a. times ore
changing, VIC will change our principles
also, aud be 10 favor Of something else.
After they had adopted these rcso!u.
tions. they oil wert home singing Halle.
lujah. They all expected to be- elected
President. They nominated George B.
Mcclellan for Prssid. nt, and for what
purpose? Was it for the purpose of i'd
vocating the principles Of that platform?
2 tie, or any other man, who ever drew
asword iu his countsy's cause, who wo d
consent to take any position ,on a. plat:
form Of that kind, is unworthy to be call,
ed IN American soldier. Whenever I
become SO greedy for office, whenever l
have such sn itching desire to obtain a
little power for short time, as to stulti
IS myself in such manner, and to Sian.

in His infinite mercy, may take me home

Mcclellan had been civilian when nom.

tie in the Union cause, there is no ex-.
cusc on earth for him-none whatever on
the top Of Gods earth--exceps that be is
so craving and anxious for little power
that he is willing to accept it even from
traitors. sF.J fis Era :. G..rta a..

form; We are not 10 favor of the war, it
is true; We do not like the soldiers; We
hate the color Of blue cloth, and we de.
spisc brass buttons; but We have been out
OF power for some time; our rstions arc
getting little short, md it is necessary
that We do something or other to get
around the stump and gain little posi-
tion. Now what shall We do? I believe
the people who went to the Convention
from this psrt Of tho country could not
have been induced to vote for any man in
favor Of tho var until after the Conven
tion. But these men 1t Chicago, sltho'
they did not ike the soldiers, were rath.
or 10 favor Of getting their votes. So
they say, We will put Mcclellan % the
ticket and make the head Of it for war;
they would put him in and start him like
q railrosd train, running down the track
with steam up and everything right. But
they put the breakers on the cars before
Il had gone fer, BY putting at the tail Of
the ticket George II. Pendleton, whom
they knew to be an infamous trsitor.-
They concluded to run mixed ticket,
neither 6sh, flesh nor fowl. They put
Uaioa at one end and treason ~ the 9th.

Presidents dying, If the Union end Of
this ticket should die, the treason end of
it would take its place. II they should
elect Mcclellan, aud his election should
