Gen. Logan and the President.

Washington correspondent gives the fol

recently:
"a little incident related of General Logan
and the President will well illustrate the
passionate determination of the latter
When Logan was here last. he called at The
White House and obtained Il private inter
view with Mr.. johnson. 1t was couple of
days before he spoke in remuneration Of the
Presidential course. The Illinois soldier
expostulated with the Tennessee executive
as to the policy OF the latter, assuring him
Of his mistake, and declaring the people gen
orally opposed to his policy. This the Pres,
ident doubted. Gen. Logan, with friendly
but emphatic language, assured him that the
West was determined that the South should
not come back except on their terms; the
West would not submit to less. by Godr

Good Radiance from Bad Rub
biSh.

The little cotcrie of women in trousers
meet annually in New York and indulge
themselves in TRADES against slavery, when
there was no sort Of practical good to be
accomplished, have been utterly dumfounded
by the events of the war. The earnest work
of real men is so astonishing that most Of
these grannles are struck silent, while now
and then one is heard from as in full com.
munion with the ex.slave drivers of the
South, who are the present special objects Of
lamentation. The last, and decidedly the
least, of these dilettanti PHILOSOPHERS is Mr..
Henry Ward Beecher, brother to Mrs.
Beecher Stowe, who now thinks the slave
drivers, who were formerly fit only to be
murdered by their slaves are the only born
rulers of the Government they sought to
destroy. The rebel papers and rebel ora
tors will of course hail with acclaim this new
accession to the ranks Of the Andyites No
objections to political parsons now. If he
will only do as much harm to our enemies
as he did to US while he hung most unwel-
come partisan of our cause, we shall be sin
cerely glad, and if few more of the same
sort in Maryland who made so much fuss
over Beecher when he came to the Balt-
more Convention in 1864, would only follow
his lead, we would be gladder still. There
is no room for idle dreamers and blowers in
this earnest Union party. We want true
single minded men, who comprehend the
real issues of the day, which is to increase
the political power of the loyal people on
the white basis of representation. Let US

Union men of Cecil, turn out in your
strength to the Grand Mass Meeting of the
Unconditional Union party, to be held at
Brick Meeting House, in the 9th district, on
Saturday neat, 18th inst
Let the Union Clubs of every district or.
ganize delegations to attend the meeting
Let them not fail to do this. Let them con
slider this action as one of the first duties of
the Clubs-one of the primary objects of
club formations. Our friends of the 9th

pense to have Mass Meeting worthy of the
cause and the county, and have procured
the services of eminent speakers, among
them our noble Senator, Hon. John A. j.
Creswoll, and Wayne McNeagh, Chester
county's eloquent son.
Music and Refreshments will be provided
by the Club and every effort will be made
to make the day one of pleasure and prof,
to the Union men and ladies-God bless
them for the untirng hands and true hearts
with which they so heroicly sustained GU,
cause in the dark days of rebellion, are in
vited to add spirit and strength to the meet
ing by their presence.

- Hear what candid johnson paper
says of the coming elections, in late issue:


"Should the administration party succeed,
the Radical power will be overthrow, its
acts pronounced illegal, and the body itself
liable to dispersion as an illegal and sedi.
tious asscmblage. "-Atlanta New Ere.
We ask the attention of every man. who
wishes well for his country, to this. Here
the johnson secesh policy is revealed. Here
are exposed to the gaze of an indignant PEG.
pie the plots of traitors. What better jiusti
fication of the policy of Congress is wanted =?
We are satisfied that the loyal and intelli-
gent voters of this country will never sauc.
ton the destructive policy of Mr.. johnson.
We were not tried in the furnace of war to
be consumed in times Of peace; we did not
fight treason through years of bloody battle
to be now vanquished by cunning words of
treachcry nor did We preserve Union by
valor and unaxampled sacrifices to now qui
city surrender it into the hands of those who
fought to destroy it. The loyal heart of this
nation has vowed that loyal men alone
shall govern preserved Republic, and we
in Maryland are resolved to do our part in
the great work before MS. IF we succeed,
then our reward will be above all value; if
we fail, we will fall struggling still, ready to
rise again to new conflicts and renewed eff
forts. The cause of liberty and progress
can never recede, but must continue to ad.
vance till all the earth is wrapped in its
heavenly folds. Then let us stand to the
work, and, remembering that God is just,
press onward to the goal Let us gather in.
| spiration from the sublime words of our
martyred President, spoken on the CORY sod
of Gettysburg:-
"From these sacerd dead we take increas.
ed devotion to that cause for which they gave
the last full measure of devotion. We here
highly resolve that these dead shall not have
died in vain; that this nation, under God,
shall have new birth of freedom, and that

Work for the Clubs.

We urge the necessity upon our friends of
keeping up their Club organizations. Give
notice to the Central Committee of the I'm
conditional Union party, at Elkton, when
Speakers are wanted, and efforts will be
made to fill all appointments.
One very important duty which should not
be neglected by the Gibbs is pointed" ont by
resolution passed by the North East Club,
on Saturday night last, which urges the ne
cessity of clubs placing on foot measures to
procure evidence against every disloyal man
who attempts to swear through and be regis.
tered. See to this, Union men, by appoint
ing efficient Committees, whose duty it should
be to investigate and report to the Club, at
stated periods, on this matter.
Another import ant work for these organ
izatons is the diffusion of loyal papers and
documents among those of our Union men.
who by circumstances are dcbarred the priv
ilege of free access to such fountains of
truth, and on whose honest and unsuspecting
minds the Comprehension party hope to op.
crate by wholesale system of lying. Every
newspaper that contains true and telling
statement of the workings of "My Policy
and the character of Mr.. Johnson's recon.
structed Unionsts, should be judicously
circulated among this class of our citizens.
The Union party must almost entirely RELY
upon the purity of its principles and the
multitude of marked truths it is every dav
proclaimng. The Copperjohnson party with
the aid of friends from abroad are making a
desperate set upon this county. by music,
parade, strange speakers, and last, but not
least, plenty Of whiskey. The professional
rummes belong to that party. A man who
has fallen into disgrace, become bankrupt.
and fond of drinking bad whiskey, is bound
to fetch up in the Copperhead party. 1t
matters not how respectable he may have
been in the past. None of this class will be
found atlliating with the Union party. We
have but to keep our ranks unbroken by the
tricks and talsehood of the enemy. by diff.
tusing in every practicable mode the truth
among the mass of the people Therefore
let not one Union newspaper be lost, but
hand it round amongst those whose oppor-
tunities for acquiring information are limited.

BLAsrHEMY.-Mr. s. Parker Coon. at a
recent Democratic meeting in Milwaukee,
declared Mr.. Johnson's conduct greater
than that of Westinghouse mas worthy Of
our Sauiour. BY his conduct Andrew John
son had placed himself above all other hui
man beings-he was greater than Caesar
greater than Washington. But one person
and he God-had been tempted as he was
and resisted" This blasphemp has never
been paralleed. In similar spret the
Wilmington On. c. Dispatch thus curses
Mr. Stanton, not 70, what he is doing, but
for what he has done: "When his mortal
career ends, he will hasten below to receive

he is surely destined, where the cracking
blazes are leaping and licking their tongues
in joyous anticipation of his arrival"
