From the Peoria Democrat.
Mr.. O'Brien in Springfield.

Below we give the remarks of the Register
on Mr.. O. Brien's appearance on the political
rostrum in Springfield. From other sources
We hear that the praise given was richly de-
served There is no more popular speaker
IN the west than Hon. W. W. Brien:
It being announced that Mr. ". W. O'Brien had
arrived, he was received with voeys of cheers and
coming to the platform began speech, which, for
eloquenee and force have never beard surpassed.
His appeal to the fenians especially beautiful,
and was received and appreciated with Irish de-
light and his exortions for all parties to cast away
every evil passion and prejudice, were worthy the
great conservative party he so ably defends and rep
reSentS.
MT. 0Bricn deserved and received the repeated
and earnest applause of his audience, and his effort
complimented still more highly by the fact that
not a man left the crowd while he was speaking.
We regret that the late hour at which the meeting
concluded prevents Us from giving even a synopsis
Of Mr.. 0'Bren's effort, and all those who
were unfortunate : not be present, that they
missed of the greatest speeches ofthe campaign,
whether considered as eoquence patriotism or par
tisanship.

We had the pleasure of q calls day or two
since. from Thomas Lewis, Esq. the able edi-
tor of the Cairo Democrat. Mr.. Lewis said
to US that he was present ct the meeting at
Carbondale, at the discussion between Col.
Dickey aud John 4. Logan; that when Lo-
g,n declared that if any man said he had
furnished Eoney 10 any one to 20 into the
rebellion he was liar he saw ] ogan's sister,
Mira. Blanchard, rise~in the audience, and
heard her say, That's lie, John; you gave
my husbRnd money to go into the rebel
army" The certificate from Logan's broth
er-in-law, Cunningham, does not disprove
this fact Quincy Herald.

The radicals boast that Logan has beaten
DickeY at every point in their joint discus

son that Logan refused to enter into an ar
rangement to continue them at other places.
Col. Diokey proposed to do SO, but Gen. Lo-
gan refused to accede to the proposition. If
he has been so successful thus far, why not

address Of the Convention would be read, great
interest was manifested 10 hear these documents
read.
The stiffness that pervaded the vast assem-.
blage while the address was being read was per-
tectly wonderful. One might readily suppose
that he was i'm a church during the delivery OF
sermon, 20 deep was the silence. When how
ever, Mr.. Raymond, who read the address, had
taken HE seat after the arduous task assigned
him, the entire audience rose TO their feet, and
the cheering was long continued ana most
enthusiastic. At the conclusion of the reading
of the address, Senator Doolittle, the Chairman,
announced that Mr.. Raymond would read the
last clause over again. This clause alluded to
the wrongs desired to be inflicted by the radicals
on the South and great applause greeted the
sentiments expressed.
The resolutions. as read by the clerk, Mr..
Perrin, we're frequently interrupted with the
most vocferous cheers. That portion of the
resolutions which advocated o perfect and un-
impaired Union drought down the house."
When the resolution was read iDdorsinc the
laws of the United States as the supreme law OF
the land, the applause was great,
The same may be said OF that portion
of the resolutions regarding State rights,
and the qualification of the yoters in the
different States. The sentiment that 20 State
had right to withdraw from the Union met
with torrent OF enthusiasm, and one excited
delegate gave number OF cheers on his ogn
hook, after every body else was quiet.
The resolutions regarding the perpetual
Onion of the States, the provisions for amend
ments Tor the Constitution, that all the States
have right TO have voice regarding the
amendments, we're greatly applauded; also, that
the war debt is sacred, and that the national
Government shall remain unimpaired.
The resolution that all the rights OF the sailors
and soldiers who fought during she Rebellion
should be observed and defended, and that
proper provisions should be made for the main
tenance OF the widows and Orpbans caused by
the war, was received with great enthusiasm.
The resolution endorsing President Johnson
brought the entire Convention to their feet, and
several minutes elapsed before the applause
subsided.
The resolutions we're unanimously adopted
amid much excitement.
At the conclusion the reading of the resolu-
tions three cheers were given tor Senator Co van,
of Pennsy ylvania.
Senator Cowan acknowledged the compliment
in a few words.
