MoDKRa DEMOCRACY.
As far a. am concerned. some years ago
took Strong ground akafuet Democrat,
who had been elected to high Office bY that
party. re'er to Janes Buchanan- They
then called nc an Abolitfonist; but did not
care. 1opposed him becanse 1 thought him
wrong on the questions then before cue peo-
pie. When came to examine Into the histo-
y Of this rebellion, / fibd s1andiag stdo By
side with him In his Cabinet, at Its com
Increment, Howell Cobb, now opo of the
Generals In the rebel army. ina JEFF DA-
Wis and Benjamin, who were Utited States
81 bators, st the eead of the rebel Govern
ment. I find Slidell, then 3 United States
Mason, 2Lother Ssu4tor, acting as Minister to
Eneland. I find Lamar, Barks ole, Bran:h,
Ruff1u, Polk and Clark. al members OF Com
gress. And find Wood, Yallsndigham aud

infamous tn tlaltore up9a ~ dectrtaes they

traitors they were then. [Applsuse
Now In order to set~Whrther I am correct
or nC It. LIT uB examine history, and call Yunr
atten tion to THAT has been done in vour
own Stats. 4 Convention netf Springfield
the sane class Of men. That Convention
p,eeed the following resolution:
Res9fesl, Thht We are oppoeed to tho farther Of.
itnsiEt prosecution Of the war. ~ tending to ~ =
velt the consltution and Tho Government, anA
entail upon this na'ioA all the disastrous conso-
QEcuC&6 OF Il 1ktple AID ANARCHY.
These men declared th4t II We prosecuted
the war any further, ne would q subvart the
Constitution and Government"
Just about that time Vicksbarg was taken,
a1a the lebei army defeated at GettJsoury.
1et theee men said You, must not Wis any

ground against them, and they SAID was an

But did sgree to another resolution pass
ed by Convention OF men who arc called
traitors. It Was adopted by what Ia known
aa The Urfon Party at abe ut the same time,
In The same State, and reads as follows:
Resp1csd, That we arc in favor Of the further Of

bscause re Do lot believe that lts further offensive
tpetey overthrow o! Tho rebellion, aud rhe perms-
neIt ItIe-estnb]stmeDt Of the Government. and On
an honorable bse1l.
Itske there two resolutions side By side
fbd one set Of Den willing to crush out
this rrbelllon st all hazards, and find the
other opposed to the further prosecution Of
tbe war. Then, ask you. which one Of
theee- resolutions John 4. Logan, being q
SOLDIER, would be bound to take? + flud
more democracy in one line Of this resolution
than in the whole of the other. The frat
smells Of treason. [Applauss.]
