Mr.. Logan-The Sentinel.


The Sentinel makes a characteristic attack
on Gen Logan, OF Rutherford, because that
gentlen ian exercised his right to deliver u
speech in the House Of Commons in favor of
the II, ,ward amendment. We give the fol-
lowing specimen OF the coarse and in
sulting manner in which Gen. Logan is as
sailed =
MI: Logan, of Rutherford, inflicted upon
the H ouse on yesterday long, dull speech
In fav, u of the adoption of the Constitution
al anne ndment proposed by Congress. He
certain lly had no expectation of its passage,
but dc sired to deliver himself of the burden,
which doubtless had been weighing upon
him i; II some time. We hope he feels better,
and t: lat when he has occasion to address
the H ouse again, he will be able to do so
with greater facility and vivacity."
Gel l. Logan spoke in loyal strain for
loyal men. Gen Logan loves the Union, and
is anX ious to see it restored. Gen. Logan is
attacJ he'd to the government, and respects the
flag o. the country symbol of nationali-
ty and Union. Hence the slurs cast upon
him b Y the Sentinel These slurs are badges
of hor ror. 1t is creditable to pnblic man
to be ,ssailed and malgned by traitors.

Committee on the Amendment.

T. ne following is the joint select committee
of tt lie North Carolina Legislature on the con-
stitl 1tional amendment:

Co, rington, Clark and Jones.
louise Bronch-Messrs. Perry of Carteret,
Da Wis, Morehead, Kenan, Wilson of Forsythe,
Ru IS, Waugh and Hodnett.
Among the thirteen gentlemen above
ma med, only one is known to favor the Con-
sti tutional Amendment, Mr.. Wilson of For
sy tn. 1t has been usual heretofore. in such
in lportant matters, to constitute committees,
so that both sides might have fair showing.
A nd however unpopular the Constitutional
mendment may be with the dominant party
in the Legislature, it is no good reason that
! OF 1t of thirteen members of a committee one
oil lily should be appointed known to be favor
al de to its adoption.

A Warning to Ofice seekers.

The publication is made, apparently by
a, lthority, in the National Republican of this
orning, that the President is necessarily
Ell 1gaged upon important public matters, pre-
P aratory to the early assembling of Congress,
al i'd will have no time, until after the meeting
OF that body, to give the slightest attention
to- applicants to office. All such matters are
RI ferred to the heads of the different Depart
II tents. Office-seekers and their friends can
sa We themselves much time, labor and ex-
p ense by acting upon the above hint, and
ill relieve the President from the unpleas-
mt necessity of declining to entertain and
Famine their applications. 1t is physical
il npossibility for him to prepare his message
in .ess appropriately belonging to his Cabinet
N minister's. Wash. Cor " 2. Times.
We are glad to find the President Is not
disposed to trouble himself about office-seek-
8. 1t is also stated that he has ceased to
re move Radicals from office. Every true
ma in the whole country would hail with joy
President Johnson's cordial cooperation
wit h the great and patriotic party that cleo
ted him.

~ The Wilmington Dispdtct has recently as
sailed Hon. John Pool, Hon. Thos. Settle,
and Hon. G.s W. Logan, in terms that re-
mind us3 of the worst days Of the French
Revolution. Mr.. Pools motives are i'm
peached and be is characterized as " that
fellow Pool, Mr. Settle is pronounced a
"self-acknowledged scoundrel," and "some-
what more of consummate rascal than
Gen. Logan, &c. Now, Mr.. Pool MIR. Settle,
and Gen. Logan are among the purest and
worthiest of our private citizens and public
men. They are esteemed wherever they are
known as high-minded, honorable gentlemen,
and the people have frequently confded i'm
portant trusts to their hands. But they are
Enthusiastically loyal Union men, and hence the
virulence and demoniac hatred with which
they are pursued. The Dispatch has the
heart of a demon and the style of a black
guard armed with bowie and bludgeon, and
therefore his allies and supporters do not ex-
actly talk as he docs. but none of them re-
buke him. and he is really in high favor with
them, as what they call fearless, outspoken,
trenchant writer. Ii the troops were all
withdrawn, and there were no fear of conse
quences and these people had full sway in
this State-as they would have, were there
no troops and no consequences to be appre-
hended-the Unionists of this State of both
races would be scourged from their homes
and driven out through fire and blood. The
fire of rebellion, which was lit originally
from the blacklist and most horrible cavern
of he'll itself, burns at this time with red
ness and fury which it did not display
even when Mr.. Davis sat upon his throne,
and when the conscri ption consigned so
many of our brave men to death and their
families to want and misery. But thank God,
there is Il Congress of the United States !
There is a government at Washington. There
is yet hope for the despised and outraged
Unionist s of the South. 1t can not be that
Andrew johnson will finally abandon the
men who suffered as he did during the re-
bcllion: it can not be that a loyal Congress
viii turn deaf ear to the appeals of South
ern Unionists which are now going up to
Washington If traitors-if men who hate the
government and the flag are to govern these
Southern States, let as knoD it. If Congress
intends that these men shall rule, it will be
cruel in that body not to say so at once. Let
as hncao our firte, SO that we may prepare for
it best we may. We do not want the
Howard amendment. 1t is not sufficiently
stringent on traitors. We want something
bette. We want to see this State governed
for years to come by Enthusiastically loyal men,
and the Howard amendment, so-called,
though it is well-devised and well-guarded
in some respects, does not go far enough to
effect his object

Election of Senator.

On yesterday, the General Assembly of
this State in joint Convention, elected Hon.
NJ. L. Manly, of Craven, to a seat in the
Senate of the United States for six years
fl ON and after the 4th of March next
The present incumbent is the Hon. John
Pool, who was elected last year for what was
called the short term. Mr.. Pool is the same
unf1inching Unionist now that he was when
elected hence his defeat. The organ of Gov.
Worth, in this City, appealed to its friends,
the true Confederates to defeat Mr.. Pool be-
cause he had authorized Mr. Doolittle to
state the fact in the Senate that he MIR POOH
had entered the Legislature of this State in
1864 cth tile cieCo Of embarrassing the Con-
tecteracy, and o5tuining pence on tie basis Of
tie Union. The appeal was responded to,
and he was defeated, on this ground. He was
defeated, and the fact is confessed, solely on
tie ground Of lis consistent and der0ted Union-
ism. We want the President to know this
fact We want the Congress and the North
| ern people to know it.
Judge Manly is a gentleman of fair
ability, but by no means the equal of
Mr.. Pool in this respect. He was a Judge
of our Supreme Court during the re-
bellion, and was regarded as a hard
Judge on the poor conscripts. Of course this
commended him to all . true Confederates."
If not an original, he was early secession
| list, and ne holds now that there is no saliva
| ton for the country outside the exploded
theory of States rights. He is the author of
letter published some months since, in
which doubt is thrown on the legality or
constitutionality of the existing State gov
eminent under which he has been chosen
Senator We can not lay our hands upon
this letter just now, but will publish it il,
| our next.
In fine disloyalty has been promoted and
honored by our Legislature, and loyalty has
been put under foot A stronger argument
for the immediate reorganization of this
State could mot be urged than the defeat of Mr..
Pool on account of his Unionism, and the
election of Judge Manly. We trust the Con-
gress will act promptly, and relieve our peo-
pie of their suspense.
