ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. a..
The radical State Executive Committee have
issued an address to the Union men of Missou-
II, and all the friends of law and order, strong
lly urging them to unite for the maintenance Of
law and suppression OF attempts from whatev-
er source to subvert the government and in
augurate second civil war, which is appre-
hended in consequence of recent incendiary
publications in opposition papers, calling upon
their friends to organize and prepare them
selves for war. The address says the pretext
for these appeal are founded upon facts.
Governor Fletcher has recently ordered hall

The EMANCIPATION OF SPEECH Under this
head the New York Citizen says:


"There is one description of slavery at the
South, which was long enforced by Southern
ers and connived at by men of Northern birth
and residence, emancipation from which must
be decreed and established before peace and
prosperity can prevail in our reconstructed
Union We allude to slavery of speech. Since
the war it has been fully established at the
North, as is recognized by the fact of the rec
ommendation at the Philadelphia Convention,
that body of Southern orators should stump
the Northern States giving correct accounts Of
the state of feeling and opinion at the South
and exhibiting the spirit that is to control pol
itics hereafter.
This is movement which it is impossible to
find fault with. BUTT would do no harm to
either section were it made mutual move
ment 1t is true that since the war there has
been much misunderstanding of Southern mo-
tives, much misconception Of Southern opin-
ions, much mis-statement of Southern facts
prevalent at the North. But this condition,
temporary with US, has lasted at the South for
more than generation. The term Yankee,
indiscriminately applied to every American
born north of Maryland, has always been one Of
opprobrium and Yankee opinions, in print and
in speech, have ever been deemed ft objects
for suppression by the strong hand. Now, ii
should be distinctly understood, that in the
Union of the future, which may be called the
Union as it should be, speech, which includes
the written word as well as the word of mouth,
must be free everywhere.

people of said States shall, by fundamental en-
actments and otherwise, manifest loyal spirit
ofs1bmission to the authority and Constitution
OF the United States, and give such guarantees
as Congrese MAY deem sufficient to render it
safe and prudent to permit them to again re-
sumo the functions and privileges which they
voluntarily surrendered by their rebellion and
war; and an these matters the determanofson
rests aoith Congress.

GEN. LOGAN AND THE PRESIDENTIAL Wash


ington letter-writer gives the following account
of an incident which happened in that city:
A little incident related of Gen. Logan
and the President will well illustrate the pas
sionate determination Of the latter. When
Logan was here last, he called at the White
House and obtained private interview with
Mr.. johnson. 1t was a couple of days before
he spoke in denunciation Of the Presidential
course. The Illinois soldier expostuiated with
the Tennessee executive as to the policy of the
latter, assuring him of his mistake, and de-
claring the people generally opposed to his pol
icy. This the President doubted Gen. LIZ
gan, with friendly but emphatic language, as.
sured him that the West was determined thas
the South should not come back except upon
their terms. The West would not submit to
less. "By Godp was Mr.. Johnsons lnsolent
reply, 81 will make them. They shall submit.
'eMr. President, they wont do lt, said General
Logan, "not ii in resisting the attempt they
have to hang you and JEFF. Davis on the same
tree % of course, the interview was abruptly
tatm;nated Andrew johnson continues his
attempt at the consummation of "my policy"
and John A. Logan is at work on the prairies
rousing the people to that sense Of danger
which the accidental President has contrived
to arouse in the breast of every earnest man
with whom he has come in contact.

VERMONT ELECTION.
Republican Gain About 5000.
Senate Unanimously Republican.

MONTPELIER, VT, Sept. 4.
The annual election for Governor, Lieuten-
ant Governor, Treasurer and members of the
Legislature in this State took place TODAY
The kepublicans voted for Hon. Paul Diling-
nam, OF waterbury, for Governor, and tile
Democrats for Charles n Davenport, ESQ. Of
Nottingham. We have received this evening
returns from about thirty towns, embracing
about one-tenth OF the vote of the State. The
ballot stands thus far as follows: Dillingham;,
5,149; Davenport, 1886. The same towns last
year gave Dillingham; 465s, and Davenport l.
S59. This vote indicates gain to the Repub-
lcan majority in the State over that of last
year OF about 5000. OF the fifty towns heard
from on the Governor vote, all report Republic
can members of the Legislature but two. The
Senate will, as usual, be unanimously Repub-
Gcan.
In the third Congressional district where a
hard light has been going on between rival Re-
publican candidates for Congress, there is no
choice. As far as heard from the two candi-
dates, Hon. Portus Baxter and Hon. Romeo H.
Hoyt, are about even. In the other two dis
triets the Republican nominees are elected by
handsome majorities.
