| of the most gallant soldiers that ever lived in
| any nation on earth. cloud applause in the
| galleries which was with difficulty suppressed
| This is all | shall say row on this subject be-
cause did not intend to occupy much OF the
time of the Senate on this occasion; but let me
say further to the Senator from Massachusetts
that when he prepares a speech and delivers
1T here only twenty hours before the explra-
ton of the Senate, if he is not afraid to have 1t
answered, he ought to let it appear in the Globe
the next morning. looked in the Globe this
morning for the Senator's speech in order that
l might to-day reply to it paragraph by para
graph, but it was not there.
Mr. Sumner-The Senators knows l am not
resposible for that; it was my desire to have 1t
appear.
Mr.. Logan am sorry that your desire was
not accommodated; am only stating the facts:
The same is true of the Senator from Missouri
last evening attacking the Arms Committee. IL
is not published this morning. 50 that the com
mittee have no record of it upon which tney
can reply, and now we are told the needs OF tle
country are such as to demand adjournment az
the earles moment. Be it So 1t the cause OF
these Senators is so weak to-day before the peo-
pie that when theyvomit forth their venom upon
the head of man as good as either OF them,
they cannot afford to give an opportunity for
reply, be it so. The country will understand IL.
The honest hearted men and women and Gull
dren of this land will read the purpose OF these
gentlemen as plainly as you and can. Inc
people of this country have become too lntelu-
possibility. They understand the whole pro
gramme. They know that the raod out OF the
Philadelphia Convention is the road right into
the arms of the Democratic party; and they
understand that their speech making is an at
tack upon man who is certain to be nominal
ed at Philadelphia, is speech made In the IN
terest of the Democratic party. Everybody un-
derstands that The course of these gentlemen
reminds me of war time There were plenty OF
men who were very loyal but they were 0ppos-
cd tn XgaratDhaV in faVor of the Union
but were opposed to prosecuting the war to pre-
serve it. So it is in this instance. All the life,
time of the Senator from Massachusetts, all
his learning, all his craftsmanship, all his
knowledge of international law, all his knowl-
edge of national affairs, all his opposition to
slavery and all his past work he is now attempt
ing to undo. From the high estate to which
his past efforts had raised him, the Senator yes
terday indirectly if not directly attacked every
fact of his life; indirectly if not directly he as
sailed the party which he says he made; indl-
rectly if not directly he stabbed his own child.
/ know the Senator will not receive advice from
me and L know am not capable of giving it,
but in conclusion will say this: He spoke yes
terday of the life-boat of the nation, and tell
him to-day that the trne life boat of the nation
is the Republican party which, freighted with
hopes of mankind, has passed in safety and
triumph through one of the most terrible wars
ever known since nations began That is the
true ife-boat, and when you attack the pilot
and sow dissension among the crew, that mo-
ment you do what the Democratic party has
never been able to do-you sink the old Repub
lican ship. -'
