1t is fair to presume that John A. Logan's
he is liar In his speech at Carbonate, some
days since, he took occasion to deny that he had
| ever given money to any one to enter the rebel
service, whereupon his sister. Mrs Blanchard,
who was in the audience, replied, ''That's lie
J ohm you gave money to my husband to so in
I to the rebel army" During the same speech,
his mother, indignant at his brazen-faced impu-
| dence and mendacity, called him liar, when he
said he had never been in favor OF the rebels
If this were not insensible to every sense OF
shame and utterly reckless of every obligation 81
| truth and decency, he would hide his head after
| such rebukes, from such n source. What conf
dencc brave and respectable people Lave
| in such "a character? Is such man fl to repre-
| sent the people of Illinois in congress This
| creature, convicted liar right in public, by
his mother and sister, had the unparalleled
audscity TO say al his speech, in this city, that
| democrats copperheads he called them and
rebels had rights except the right to be hang
| ed He talk about getting up another civil
war Why, ander the law of God, pronlul gat-
| ed amid the thunders Of Sinai, he would be ston-
| ed to death.
