ADDRESS OF GEN. SWEENEY.
He Cautions his Fenian Brethren to Bew ar,
of Entanging Political Alliances.

He Cautions his Fenfan Brethren to Bew are
of Entangling Political Alliances.
New York, Aug 20.-The following is
the address of Gen. Sweeney to the Fenian
Brotherhood, concerning political complica-
tions:
To the Fenian Brotherhood:
The old and tried members of the Fenian
Brotherhood regret to find that sorle political
papers are endeavorlug to make 1t appear
that our organization ls about to be used for
party purposes in the approaching political
campaign, and | cannot allow such an i'm
preston to go abroad wi bout protest on
nv part. The Fenian Brotherhood was es-
tablished for the liberation of Ireland from G
s,1e of foreign misrule and subjugatiop
which for the continuation and intensity of
it's per- eout IN has no pars lei in history
While solely devoted to the grand object :
Ii cir mission, the members of the Fenian
Brosherh, I'd sympathize with every strug.
cling nationality, and are ardent lovers of
freedom for all men in every land. Two of
the fundamental rules of the organization
are, that the religious md political ques-
items should be emit ;rely excluded from their
councile, and it is wing to these wise pro-
viz 'ons that the Fenian Brotherhood, without
the aid of a single dollar from any political
party in this country, and in the face of the
most fierce opposition, had spread it's branches
into avery land, and has become the great
power in America which it is to-day.
While every citizen in his individual ospa.
city has right to vote as his judgment die
tates, ] apprehend that disruption, disaster
and the utter blighting of all our hopes
would DO the result of turning the Fsnian

Logan at Bloomington.
THE LYING ASSOCIATED PRESS DIS
PATCH CONCERNING his SPEECH.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill, Aug. 81.
To the Editor of the Chicago Times;
Your reference to the lying telegram sent from
this place yesterday has induced me to send you
a short account of Logans great effort, and
greater failure. l would have done so yesterday,
but did not think it worthy of notice IN your
paper Let me premise by saying that the oper-
ator here is hot headed young radical and a
crazy fanatic. He says there were 5000 people
here. Pretty good counting when even most re-
publcans here do not contend for more than
500. fit were not that granny Burnham,
who edits the Pntagraph newspaper here, has
published the same mendacious falsehood, one
would think the additional cipher had crept in
by mistake. The Chicago and Alton railroad
company sent special train of seven coaches
from Chenos, stopping at Lexington, Towands,
aud Normal, which brought down q people by
actual CONT.
1.-THE speech was one OF Logan's best efforts,
NAV be delivered from hearing his worst. 1t
was cold, constrained, and labored in it's de
livery for John A. Logan feels, and shows that
he feels that he has embraced failing cause
He spoke for an hour before we heard even one
faint cheer, which was followed at intervals by
Others growing fainter and yet fainter still.
The truth ia, they wish here that John a. Lo
gan had never been invited for he has only serv
ed to show those who did attend the waning pow
| er of their party, and proved the utter absence
| of all enthusiasm.

ed in the struggle for the preservation OF the
Union. to be held at Cleveland, Ohio, on the
18th Of September next. II will be seen that
the call is addressed to those who approve
the presidents policy ofrsstoration, and who
coincide with the views promulgated by tho
Philadelphia convention; and it will be seen
also, that the call is signed by many distin-
guished officers who haye heretofore acted
with the late republican party, as well as BY
others who have been known as democrats
We have no doubt that the proposed conven-
ton will be grand affair, and that ii will
exercise a rost healing and healthy influence
upon the public mind.
The rapidity with which the radical party
is falling TO- pieces and going into decay is
without parallel or example in the history Of
parties in this country.

to be masnanilnous, but only consistent and l
inst. This we cannot refuse to be, without |
violating the constitution Of our country, and |
risk its utter overthrow.
We seek and will have no association in |
political action with men, north or south, who
are not avowedly, in our opinion, sincerely
faithful to tho constitutional principles for
which we fought; but if men who have taught
or practiced treason now openly renounce
their errors and maintain, with us, the true
principles of our government, we shall not
reject their cooperation. When the restora-
ton of the I'm IN and the preser Vation of eur
form of government are in issue, however
much we regret to sever cherished political
associations, aud to cooperate with former
enemies, we must prefer 50 act with those
who have been wrong and are now right
rather than with those who were right and
now are wrong.
Believing that our government is again in
peril, we appeal to you who have fought to
| save il, and who hold it desrer and more sa-
cred than all party ties. to come to the rescue.
Let the soldiers and sailors agreeing with us
