in material enterprises which il ought to

of our great country we need an ABLE AND

The Chicago Post (radical paper) abiding
TO the charge that Johnny Logan recruited
troops for the rebels, in the beginning of the
war, makes the following admission:
slogan was not fully in accord with the senti-
ment of the majority of the people Of the north
when the war commenced; he even differed widely
from the opinions entertained by Douglas"
No, he was not fully in accord with the
north, for he said that "no soldiers should go
south to subdue the rebellion unless they
passed over his dead body And he did
differ rather widely from Douglas, for he
refused to speak to Douglas, in Springfield,
at the beginning of the war, because Doug
las was in favor of prosecuting the war.
He said douglas has sold the democratic
party, but by Cd he can't deliver it"
This was Johnny Logan's kind of loyalty"
until he was threatened with arrest and
promised an Office if he would join the
Union side. The threat and the promise of
office brought him over
