GENERAL JOHN a. LoGAN.-When


ever there is a possible chance for the
Copperhead Democracy to use the
soldiers, they make loud professions of
love for them, and laud them to the
skies. But, in all cases where those
who formerly belonged to the Demo
cratic party, will not be whipped back
into the traces, and will not espouse
the semi reasonable doctrines of that
party, the Copperhead press is most
villainous in Remuneration of all such.
We copy the following, which we find
floating around, credited to the Pc
oria GILL Democrats ~ - q.5
EgWhile we were in Washington, the GEN
eral (meaning General ]. A. Logan was to
be seen lounging around the Capitol, ho-
tells, and other places so popular with him,
trying if possible to learn where he could
find a sure political spot to squat on. No
| one knowing or caring which political
party he-sided with, as his political treach-
cry has longsince placed his name beneath
| that of Arnold, and now it makes but little
difference where he goes; the party that
attempts to take him up, will find AIDE
funct skunk-nothing more, nothing less
Not word of praise for all of Gen.
Logan'ss gallant services is bestowed
on him by the Copperhead press any
where. For four years he nobly
defended his country and his country S
honor, but for him no words of praise
none. The Oopperhead party cannot
buy him up, hence they villify and
abuse him.. He will not return to a
party that retains nothing Of its for
mer greatness but its name For all
his gallant services; for his hundreds
of valiant actions on the field, where
the cowardly skunks who are now
slandering him dared not go, he re-
ceives no praise from Copperhead
sources IF he could be induced to
allow the use of his name in connec-
ton with a now corrupt party, to aid
in the recovery of its departed honor
and glory, the Democratic press of
Illinois would be loud in his praise ;
then if JEFF. Davis should be hung
Illinois Democracy would raise loud
voice for General Logan for President
of the United States. But the General
heeds not the clamors and abuse of
these cowardly serpents. He cannot
be bought over by them@
There is not a single soldierin all the
land who has not at some time while
in the service of his country, been
either directly or indirectly insulted-
called Lincoln hirelings, &C., - by
those hypocrites who now seek to ride
! into power by professions Of love for
the men they slahdefed,y nor is there
one man in all this country for
which these , Copperheads have
the slightest affection, except in
cases where they can use them
to cover up the heniousness of their
I own Vile and damning deeds.
There are many Of our boys in this
county who were called upon on more
7 than one occasion to- witness the gal
lantry Of Maj. Gen. Logan, on the
field, and each one will consider it an
insult to his own honor, when he
learns that the brave Logan is placed
alongside, aye, even beneath that of
the traitor Arnold, by an unscrupu-
lous Copperhead press. for no other
reason than that of not returning to a
now corrupt organization, a great por-
ton of which prayed for the success
of thes rebel arms and the defeat
of the Federal soldiers. Out upon
such hypocrites. Let the soldiers
fully understand all the praise now
bestowed by the Copperhead press
upon any of their number, is for the
1 purpose of making the soldiers avail
able in retrieving a corrupt party from
| disgrace, and not for the love they
have for the soldiers.
