dress n nublicm meeting called to asSem-
HE in AionOngaIia on the 10th instant,
for the purpose of endorsing the course
of President johnson IN yetolng the

Allow me to say that can nave no
hesitation in endorsing the veto pc

speech against the 9th section OF the
bill before it was originally passed, on
the ground thatitwtIS unconstltuIlonai.

that when, the bill came up for consid-
Grafton after the veto, did not change

peasing the strife and healing the

logan, the Disunionist.

Tho radical state convention of Illinois has
performed the last act IN the formal adhesion
of that party TO the policy of iisunion. The
selection of John A. Logan as the represent
alive of all the radicalism in Illinois was q
deed fitting to be done.
Logan is q politician. He was born pol
itlcian was bred g politician; has possessed
from his birth no nobler aspiration than that
of holding office. Destitute alike of princi-
pie and of honesty, 1t was entirely natural
that he should seek association with the
stronger party, merely because it was the
stronger. Thus be professed to be q demo-
crat, because in the section where he lived it
was through the democratic party alone that
he could hope to get Office. His hopes were
realized. He became an office-holder almost
as soon as he became u voter, and has been
an Office holder ever since, excepting when
he has been an ofice-seeker. What ne lack
ed IN ability was made up by familiarity
with the vocabulary of Billingsgate, and the
Liberal usa he made of that vocabulary in his
political harangues. For the servility of his
defence 1T the most ultra men and most ex
treme measures of the south. he attained
some unenviable notoriety in congress, and
earned from the Chicago Tribune the we'll
deserved title of DIRTY work Logan"
Logan entered the war precisely as he en-
tered politics. ard for the same resson-to
get Office. His sympathies were with the
south His love was for the ultra fanatics of
secession, whose tool he had so long been
whose ''dirty-work" he had so willingly per-
formed. He hoped they would succeed, and
upon his return from Washington in the
spring of 1861 he went to work to give them
what aid he could. 1t was not until he found
that the patriotic democracy of southern Illi-
nois would not follow him into the ranks of
the rebel army that he discovered he was on
the weaker side. Thereupon, true to his Of
fce'seeking instinct, he turned complete
somersauit and entered the union army.
The spring of 1861 is not so distant that
the people OF Illinois have forgotten the STIR
ring events. OF its history. ILLINOIS wss cleo
tritied throughout its length and breadth by
the news of the fall of Sumter. From Chi.

An operation was lately performed upon u
returned New Hampshire soldier named Al
ken, for the purpose of extracting ballet sup
posed TO be sm bedded in his shoulder. The
wound was received as the soldier was in the
act of aiming his gun, but the ball could not
be found at the time, and the wound eventu
ally healed; but lately the shoulder began
to be painful and swollen, and medical ad
vice was sought. An operation was resolved
upon. and the arm was LAID open from the
wound to the elbow joint, where, deep under
the covering OF cords and tendons, was found
the iron sight of Aiken's own gun. which had
been rusting and corrodiug in his arm for 3
