-.-- Logan's Speech. .

|, we pnblishth the hlloNing portior
of mastery speech of Gen. Logar
which he delivered at Hamilton, OF
the llth, inst:s 5fua o3 sooSx4
Well, now, my fellow citizens, lie
us see what the Republican part!
thas done on this issue, and what th'
Democratic party is trying to dc
We Organized these Statest accord
ing to our own plan, laid them OF
Into military districts and gave com
manders' authority te '9do certain
things, to shayes voters registered
excluded the disloyal men and inclu
ding the loyal men. We said te
them, .'Sirs, you men that attemp
ted TO distroy this Government have
NO .riaht 70 control the Government
any more: wantto know if!yot
neonle here to day would give con
troll of your stores to me man ina
is!jn the habit Of breaking rQpei
houses and stealing from. then
would you give the control OF the
Government to the men that are il
the habit oftrying to- destroy thf
Government? Certainly not. VIZ
went on the theory thatxthe men
who saved the Government are the
men who should controlit, and moi
the men who attempted to destroy
it. Hence we undertook to recon
struct these Statesby loyal men both
white and black. I say more, and
tell the Democrats now, 50 that they
may have chance to say more a.
bout me than they usually do-God
knows they say plenty, but it is the
best advertising column 1 ever had
in my life laughter II will give
them more to to advertise me ~ tel
them to-day, so help me God, that
I IIhope the first member Of Cong
ress that represents the chisalry OF
South Carolina may be as black as
the ace of spades. Applause.
Now, my felfow-citizens, letus see
how this policy,is going to work
We saythatthese men shall not have
representation in Con -ress, because
they have for cited their right to
representation. If, as States they
rebelied against the G Government, ny
their treason they thave5 forfeited
theirseiviI rights in this Government
to-day except such rights as the
Congress Of the United States, by
legislative action, shall give to them.
Then, how are they to get their
rights just az man who mlsbe-
haves in a neighborhood reinstatess
him selfin the confidence ofthe peo-
pie. . If, he acts, badly, and comes
back to the neighborhood, you don't
trust him at first: but it is by his
own conduct, by his own demeano
and by showing his faith by ms
works, that you receive him into
your society. SCI is with these
people. l am for not giving them
nv hand before the blood is OFT OF
theirs. Inever will do it. But let
them show their faith by their good
.works-and it viii take them a good
while to show it to me. When they
have done that, i. you have a mind
to trust them YOU can do it; but !
say that after this rebellion against
the government. the assassination
of Abraham Lincoln, and the appeal
made to us to-day by 3O0,0 600 men
mouldering, in the dust OF the South
and the weeds OF the widows and the
orphans of this country, | am moi
willing to take them by the hano
and say you shall come in. Voices
Never" The Democratic party
are determined, if they get power
to let theserebel States have power
the same as they had before-elec
whom they have mind to Congress
and send them there. .s5a e5s
You may see your BeauregardE
perhaps your Jeff: Davises, be
cause johnson would pardon him az
soon as the people allow him to dt
it, all back in Congress again.
tell you. people of Ohio to-day, be
cause I an, not a candidate for an,
Office that you have to vote for, an'
hence am not afraid to say jus
what I mean-if it is LETT to me :
never win vote to allow any MAI
whose escutcheon. smells Of treasCl

Of the United States. EAppfausel
| Well, but these Democrats say
This amt right! YOU are treatin!
our brothers down there @rathe
harshly." Well, they treated u
harshly. They say that won't do
that they are States, and that the.
are in the Union. Well, 1iow,1 as
said at Toledo yesterday, if@thes
States were not out of the Uniol
for four years, the Union was out

But there is another question.

ry much, Cries, 60 on, on, 60 on.
! The question is this: The Demo
i. Gratis Of the State Of Ohio thin
that they have. the Republican part
in their grasp. because the Republ
cans have, in. justice and IN IN righ
adopted the. proposition to allo,
the poor negro the right Of suffrag
