BRACE OF wORTHIEs.
| LOGAN Of Illinois and DRAKE of Mis-
souri, are two Of the most voeiferons Ma
llignants in Congress, and as devoid Of
shame, as they are of generosity. We
do not censure LOGAN, because, after
inducing young men to join the Confed-
crate armies, he was converted to Union
ism, but because he, after approving
secession, mathematics it as crime,
and is eager for confseation and hang
ing. The conversion of DRAKE, whose
demeanour in the Senate resembles the
absurd antics Of drake of the species
Nuseovy, was equally extraordinary.
He had right to change his opinions
but none to become the prosecutor Of
those who have only been more consist
ent than himself.
The following articles viii show what
manner Of men these persons are, who
now seek to drive from the South its'
white sons, native-born, and devote it
hereafter to the breeding and educating
Of negroes:

! 1t is sometimes necessary to eXhume
/ the records of the past in order 70 illu-
inmate the present and show men the
danger surrounding the path in which
they are treading. Such a necessity eX-
lists at present. The radicals are deter
mined TO ruin the country. They are
carrying out well planned scheme Of
attack upon the constitutional rights OF
the states and people. This fact IS ap-
parent to all who have studied carefully
the history Of the faction now 10 power:
Evidences Of the design can be furnished
from men and papers now aiding the
radicals in their crusade upon the union
and the perpetuity Of this form of gov
ernment In 1861, John A. Logan, the
man who is now concerning with Ste
| vens and Butler, and the most ultra
revflers Of the union aFd the constitution
wrote the following letter to a friend IN
Illinois:

REMARKS.
We have been informed by friend
| that at the period Of the date Of the ab0ve,s
! letter Mr.. Logan made a speech ins con-
| gress to the effect that Egypt, in Illinois,
/ would side with the rebels. Some time
/ since we published an article from the
| st. Louis ReDUJliedH giving facts as to
/ IOganls dislOyal speeches aud acts in Ill
/ in0i@ which caused him 10 be pot under
| duress by the military commander at
! Springfield. Yet this man was conspic-
/ uOus day or two since in brutal assault
upon the suffering south, pending the
| bill making an appropriation 10 supply
! the starving In like spirit Gen. Butler
! co O-Operated with him. \ noble pair OF
brothers! The first the right hand man
/ of Douglas. The latter his political muir
| derer, the betrayer Of the north, aHd the
! great advocate Of the claim Of Jefferson
I Davis for the presidency National m
| tctligeaccr.
DRAKE OF MISSOURI.
Nothing is calculated to make radical
/ ism so supremely ridiculous as the fact
/ that the tiercest fanatics, the most ra5id
rauters, the men who try TO out-radical
Z Wade and Stevens-such fellows as For
I new, and such soldiers as Buuer-are
really quite recent converts, who Joined
/ the party because it looked like the lu
crative party, and whose political record
will greatly belle them Il they are not
ready to sell out at any moment to any
/ other party promising better pay. One
Of the latest and most ardent additions
/ to the radical flock is the new senator
from Missouri, Drake by name, but in
senatorial experience the greeDest OF
| green goslings. Though late in the
! senatorial field, he is one of the foremost
4 in the schemes for southern recOnstruC-
| ton, and he is ready 70 supplement with
! amendments all the supplementary bills
I that Sumner or Wilson or any other SEN
| ator may offer. What might suit sum
I ne- is by no means strong enough for
/ Drake, jGst IS in the house 2 southern
I subiugatiOn scheme tEct would be sun
I and strong for Stevens wOuld seem isllld

! From the amendments offered by Drake
1 last week, proposing yet more stringent
! .han The latest plan or the most
| recent supplemenU, the opinion obtains
/ widely that he is the original proprietor
of - brakes bitters,n and that he mas
1 gone into partnership with that eminent
! practitioner, Or. Butler, and that tne
| two in company propose &c tnGrousliy
/ drench and purge the south with the nlt-
tprast medicines that can be admin'
/ istered.
But Drake is not a doctor-he IS sim
| ply an old disunionist of the secession
/ times, who is playing the same r0te IN
! the radical attempt TO disrupt and &C.
I strOy the union now. In 1851. Drake
! was enough of u uniOnist TO say i'm
speech at Palmyra, July sd, that he
/ saw no safety to the country from the
| fanaticism Of the black republican party
| except through the great national dem
ocratie party;n but on the night OF Mr..
| Iipcoln's election, according to the tes-
/ timouy OF q respectable citizen OF 81.
/ Tgujs. Mr.. Wiley Rudolph Drake said
that U the southern people should now
I prapare 10 resist the aggressiOns Of the
I black reBublicansr On the 4th Of Jam
J nary, 1851, the Rev. Or, :. j. p. Anderson,
of St. Louis, preached serEon on the
subject of secession, in which he said that
| Hdisruption may become at once patri-
otic and q christian duty ana Z. y.
/ Drake heads the lists Of signers 70 let
| Ter calling for a copy OF this discourse, to
which Drake and the rest had listened
with pleasure. - and believed it would
( be gratifying TO many to possess q copy
/ of it.n II is also upon record Jhat IN
| Nav, 1861, Drake made violent ais
loyal baIangue denouncing the capture
Of Camp Jackson, Lyon and Blar.
/ And when Drake was s member OF the
! Missouri legislature he was VIGOROUSLY
the most violent prO-slavery man m thst
body. As lately as January II, lS6O,
bill in that legislature entitled An act
in relation to free negroes and muiattoes"
was amended so that every free negro or
mulatto who had immigrated to and
settled in that state since May Il, lo47i
and should be resident there after Sep
tember, 1861, he snd his descendants
/" shall be reduced 10 slavery ;" and the
house journal for the season Of lS59-6O,
page 2S2, records brakes name as voting
for this measure.
! It is quite fitting that Drake, with such
record, should be prominent among
the radicals of to-day. 1t is only paral-
leled by Buffers prominence in the same
party and Butler owes his position,
probably, to the persistency with whick
he voted for jefferson Davis IS his IA
vorite candidate for the presidency Of
the United States, a little before the time
when Drake was doing his best 10 reduce
| TO slavery the free negroes Of Missouri.
