POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE CAMPAIGN IN MAINE.

General Logan at Bath-He Analyses the
Convention and DenOunces Them as Rebels
Andrew johnson Never Told q Truth.
BATH, August I, 1858.
Last night an immense crowd assembled to listen
to General John A. Logan ON the situation. The
building was crowded to overlooking, and thousands
turned away disappointed The proceedings were
opened by local celebrity, General F. B. Sewell,
who did credit to the Presidential question, as he
views it from q radical standpoint. Then came
Logan. who greeted by an applause that seemed
to shake the hall to its foundation. He opened in
very tame style, but in q few minutes he showed
himself to be the very embodiment OF fiery enthusi-
asm. He Of course assailed the democratic party,
and gave as an example Of its loyalty Horatio
Seymour. He declared that he did not care for
platform :" If the democratic party should
adopt the republican platform he should not care;
but after reading it he asked who was the endorser
OF the democratic platform but Seymour. He had
as it differed materially from that Of 1864. Every
time they could add q few votes they would change
1t little. The republican party taxed the people
because they could not help It, and 1t was to pay the
national debt incurred by the copperheads at the
North and their friends at the South, and 'Should
they trust them aganS" he asked II they did the
rebels at the South would shake hands with those at
the North and forgive them for not assisting to fight
against the nag, and those at the North would for
give those at the South for making war against
them.
He did not want that every democrat should think
that he was styling them all rebels. Heaven forbid
But he had never seen rebel who was not demo-
crat.
AS to the New York Convention he would ask who
was there9 In the gallery on one side there were
cOpperheads, on the other democrats, while in the
body OF Tammany Hall there were the pure and unde-
filed democrats the rebels There one man there
named William that he did not know what to call
not q rebel for rebel he not; not O democrat,
for democrat he was not. What then should he call
him; for his name was William and william was a
colOred gentleman and the only spark OF loyalty in
the house. Thus they had to steal one Of ours to
represent loyalty. The democracy had great time
to choose candidate, but at last found to suit
them.
There was whom they ought to have chosen,
but did nOt-One who was never known to tell the
TRUTH He did not mean that he ever falsned inten-
tonay; but with regard to the affairs OF the nation
was Andrew Johnson (Hisses.) The democrats
mana man Of no inteligence-and he had perused
Q paper in which he was called o fool. 1t was all
very well to talk thus; but II he fool 1t was
pity they did not have two fools, 80 that II one
died the other might live and the coun-
try be at peace. II this man Grant was
what they styled him-and he had fought
more than hundred battles without losing one
then God must be on his side; and II God was with
him the democrats had not better try TO match
him.
The General said much more Of the same Sort and
was cheered vociferously throughout. He leaves
to-day for Augusta, where he will address the radi-
Gals under the auspices Of the Grand Army. Con-
siderable spirit has been thrown into the campaign
in Maine, and the republicans are confident Of a
brilliant victory for their cause.
