But he appears to'have born In hint living principles directly antagonistic to those actuating the Democracy, The persistant and barbarous efforts of that party to furce the Institution of slavery on the free soil of Kausas and other territories of the Nation, and tiie In- enrrftctlon and rebellion following its discomfort it re, caused Logan to enlist on tho side of tlie tTnlwii, and fight tfwtfally for Its preservation. He jMjt#NMfore won the applause and grati- of the nation, and, by his manly has endeared himself to every defender of our country's honor* There Is probably tie man who could command «o large a following from the veteran soldiers of the Union as Gen. Logan. Party lines wonid have little to do In withholding support from the. General with his old comrades in arms. Hot only did ho endear himself to all who knew him 1M the army, but since r ended he lias lost no oppor* in the HenatM of the nation to ;t« the rights and plead for the tsof our country's noble defend- By so doing, he has mitigated the and relieved the distress of iiwdl^ds of thousands of tlitf most do- serving in the land, and added untold blessings to the financial interests of Our country. No clnae observer can fail to discover that the head and heart of Gen. Logan are all right, for "by their fruit ye shall know them." There Is probably no truer soldier, no bitter patriot, no greater statesman, or any man in the nation who Is entitled to more credit and honor at the hands of our great and free people than General John A, I.ogan.ef Uliuols.
