SENATOR LOGAN ON SUMNER.
Mr. LOGAN, (rep.l OF ILL., am not surprised at
the exhibition OF virtue made by democratic Sena
tors at their anxiety 10 adjourn now after the
Senate has listened to deliberate malignant and
cruel attack put forth in their interest and the

say they desire to cease the public business and re-
and put forth for their beneit-better prepared
better delivered and put before the country inl
my S1 Judgment is capable one of doing It.
Your - side Of the case has been made,
gentlemen, and made by Senators claiming to be!
on this side OF the Chamber. l came here this
morning determined to defend in my feeble way an
! old soldier with whom was in camp for years,
3if | attempted to do so, l would be accused
Of interfering with it and making al
called session necessary and therefore reiraned

suit IL cannot be laid at the door of the true repub-
! licans in this chamber; II cannot be laid ut the
4 door of the men who are DESTROYS OF performing
their duties here without wasting time IN political
discussions But 1t can be ald az the door OF the
two senators who, night after night, have been
Astudiously preparing
ATTACKS UPON THE ADMINISTRATION
and upon one of the organized committees OF this
body. IL is no HARM however, II the result be that
called Session shall be brought about by their
3 action. | presume they are responsible at this
time to nobody, ana hence no one IS affected by it.
They can take the responsibilities and am willing
that they shall take It, But II the Session should be
&eXtended, will, at the proper time, In my feeble
s way, attempt defence against one OF the most
N malignant assaults ever made against an honest
y man. The assault made here yesterday against the

Il so malignant should never have been made except

try, whose liberties have been saved by his own
strong arm, which, in the van of the oyalsts OF the
land, severed the chains OF slavery and preserved
81 the Union-a thing that al the svery words uttered
by the tongue Of the Senator from Massachusetts
n (Mr. Sumner) never effected and never could
II effect. This attack has been made upon man to
n other. He has shortcomings perhaps, like other
men, but he Is entitled to the gratitude of the peo-
pe he Is entitled to be defended at their hands he
Is entitled to be justified in all things that are right
~ he is entitled to be secure from aspersion, from

RESPONSE TO THAT MALIGNANT SPEECH
in every crutch that aids a wounded soldier to

arm; in the grieyed heart OF every widowed mother

Mr.. LOGAN am sorry that your desire was not
