SENATOR LoGAN's ADDRESS.

a. uOBAut " 1ulnOD, addressed large
audience at Masonic Hall this evening
being introduced BY General Benjamin.
Spooner, United States District Marshal
Fhe Senator said In substance, that in q
country like ours, where the people gov
ern, II 10 the duty Of all citizens at each
recurring election 10 canvass every pend,
ling question, and iiS causes, The best.
Igo!ernment Is that which bears most
Tightly and equally upon all, and protects
all. Ours ts such one. II Is founded
upon Just and fair principles, and was
born IN revolution against oppression,
and will last while these principles are
maintained. Those who administer Il,
must sincerely believe In these principles
and free people are always divided into
two great parties, and these are based
upon contrary theories The Republican
party 10 organized on one principle Of
universal liberty and equality before the
law, and protection Of Rll. (Applause)
II liberty y good for one man

The Republican party il q vindIcation
OF equal political rights 10 all citizens.
It's members are not 90 selfish as to deny
70 others the rights they claim for them.
selves. Every objection 10 this is based
on prejudice. To-day the American flag
covers only Tree men, and this is the bene.
ticent work Of the Republican party. It's
theory leads TO good government and the
happtneea Of mankind. The theory Of the
Democratic party is that men are in part
Tree and part not tree, and 1t leads right
to the degradation Of men. It's power
was exerted Tor long period for the main.
tenance and extension Of slavery, and
since slavery was swept away the Demo

going as far % the Constitution win allow,
WOULD DENY TO. MILLIONS
Of citizens the right Of equal protection,

der. It's theory and spirit are the same
still, and can only be carried out by
| physical force, and lead TO revolution.
Republicanism liberates, and needs not
violence. The fact that the Democratic
theory has not been successful does not
change the fact that this Is It's nature. The
result has always been the same, and its
last result Is violence, murder, insurrec.
tion, and the overturning Of State gov.
ernments. They claim the right to limit
the rights oi others, but II one thousand
men may deny to five citizens the right
to vote, why not to fifty, and then why
not TO all others than themselves? The
Civil Rights bill allows all an equal right
to burial, to go to theatres, to churches,
to schools, and to hotels.
THAT BILL DOES NOT BAY
that they must all 60 to the same school,
but gives esch one an equal right TO
education; and who Is 80 base as TO wish
TO keep others in ignorance. Our govern
ment viii bedestroyed by ignorance, it;it
Is eyer destroyed. II the geople are edu.
Gated tho government will stand un-
shaken through every trial. Men who
would violate the rights oi man can only
be restrained by. the strong arm Of the law.
That bill was necessary because the
colored people were treated with every
indignity by the Southern Democrats,
kicked from, the cars and murdered like
dogs, when freedom had been conferred
upon them, and denied privileges which
has been allowed when they were slaves.
l hope that the bill will be passed. 1--we
do not intend to defend the rights OF the
colored man we should not have given
him any rights. We must do It. In
Texas out Of 600 murders ft
NOT ONE HAS BEEN a DEMOCRAT,
and no man is punished. They have been
accustomed, according to the Democratic
theory OF physical force governing, 10 re-
gard the slaves life as subject TO the will
OF the master. and they still regard the
colored man in the same way. When
sixteen were wantonly murdered in Ten.
nesssee the other day, and tte President
proceeded against tho murderers: the
Governor of Tennessee published pro.
test. In Louisiana they have defended
instructions.
Mr.. Logan recited the facts in regard TO
the Kellogg election, and the action OF
the Senate when he thought that there
was no election because OF fraud.
But il having been settled by the State
Court and by Congress and the President,
that this was the existing government OF
Louisiana, he considered an attack upon
1t as insurrection. They have heard from
the President, and the only fault TO be
found with his action there Is that Penn
was not arrested and tried for treason.
Shall not our sympathy be excited by the
sight Of hundreds Of our people murdered
