POE T R _
People Will Talk-
Wo may go through the world, but it will be slow,
If we listen to all that is said as we go;
We'll be worried and fretted, and kept in a stew,
For meddlesome tongues must have something to do.
For people will talk, you know, people will talk;
O, yes, they must talk, you know.
If quiet and modest, you'll have it presumed
That your humble position is only assumed;
You Tea wolf in sheep's clothing, or else you're a
fool;
But don't get excited—keep perfectly cool.
For people will talk, etc.
If generous and noble, they'll vent out their spleen; j
You'll hear some loud hints that you're selfish and
mean;
If upright and honest and fair as the day,
They'll call you a rogue in a sly, sneaking way.
For people will talk, etc.
And then if you show the least boldness of heart,
Or a slight inclination to take your own part,
They'll call you an upstart, conceited and vam;
But keep straight ahead and don't stop to explain.
For people will talk, etc.
If threadbare your coat, or old-fashioned your hat
Some one, of course, will take notice of that,
And hint rather strong that you can't pay your way;
But don't get excited whatever they say.
For people will talk, etc.
If you dress in the fashion, don't think to escape,
For they criticise then in a different shape;
You're ahead of your means, or your tailor's unpaid;
But mind your own business, there's nought to be
made.
For people will talk, etc.
They'll talk fine before you, but, then, at your back,
Of vc-nom and slander there's never a lack;
How kind and polite in all that they say,
But bitter as gal! when you're out of the way.
For people will talk, etc.
The best way to do is do as you please, ~
For your mind, if you have one, will then be at ease;
Of course you will meet all sorts of abuse,
But don't think to stop them, it isn't any use.
For people will talk, you know, people will talk; 1
O, yes, they must talk, you know.
A Democrat On the Situation.
SPEECH OF GEN'L JOHN A. LOGAN.
GEN. LOGAN TO HIS SOLDIERS.
General Sherman, General Logan
and Governor Oglesby addressed a
large meeting of their former comrades j
in arms at Salem, Illinois, on the 4th
inst. General Logan's address is too
length}'' to publish entire in our col
umns, but we extract some portions
relating to matters of current interest I
Our readers are aware that Genera!
Logan was always a Democrat, and an :
ardent supporter of Stephen A. Doug
las when that lamented statesman was
a candidate for President. During the j
speech from which we quote Gen. Lo j
gan said:
Would you have believed two years
ago, when a certain great man of thi.>
land said that treason must be made
odious and traitors must be punished,
and not only that, but that they must
be impoverished, and that their prop
erty must be distributed among the
loyal people, that he would declare thai
they were entitled to representation
in the United States? [No.] If he did,
he had a very strange way of express
ing himself. That is all i can say on
that subject. [Laughter.] No, sir, the
work of restoration in this country be j
longs to loyal men and not to traitors,
and while loyal men are engaged in
performing this work and restoring
this country they must say to these
traitors: " Gentlemen, wo intend to
confer these rights upon you whenever
we are minded to. It is not for you to
say the time when it shall bo done,
but it is for us to say. It is in our
hands, in our power; we have the
right, and you have no privileges in
this country." ["Good, good, that's
so."]
But it is said that inasmuch as those
States have been recognized, and cor
tain of them have acted on certain sub
jects, that they are fully restored. —
Why, my countrymen, that is a great
mistake. They are restored so far as
the act that they perform is recogniz
ed by our Government as lawful ;
whether it was lawful at the start and
at the inception or not, by the recog
nition we made it lawful. Hence, the
only acts that they can perform are
such acts as we recognize as being law
ful by our recognition. The acts that
we say to them they shall not perform,
they cannot perform until we say they
shall.
Let; us, then, examine the question
a little further. Oh, but some of the
opposite say, why it you do not allow
these people to bo represented there is
one-half of the Union unrepresented,
and the lawsthatyou pass in Congress
are unconstitutional because a portion
of the country is unrepresented. —
[Laughter.]
Well, I presume upon the same hy
pothesis all the laws that we passed
during the war aro unconstitutional
because Jeff Davis' part of tho country
was not represented. [Laughter.] So
it might bo in reference to this repre
sentation if the doctrine now enuncia
ted by the opposition to tho Union
pooplo in this land is correct; that is,
that these people, the Very moment
WEDNESDAY, JDLY 18, 1866.
they laid down their arras, although
they had forfeited their lives, although
they had forfeited their property, al
though they had forfeited their rights,
civil and political, all those rights came
back to thera, and that they were us
fully restored, as fully entitled to the
rights and privileges of American cit
izens in a representative as well as in
any other capacity, as any other peo
ple in this land.
Now, ray countrymen, that soeras to
mo to bo a very strange doctrine. Let
us see where it would carry us if the
Rebels, tho moment they laid down
their arms, had all their rights restor
ed to them. If the mere fact of laying
down their arras would restore them
all their rights, then I would ask you
what is there in treason? Suppose wo
to-day just conclude here, while we are
assembled to celebrate the Fourth of
July, that we will array ourselves
against the State Government of Illi
nois. Wo go to work and commit
treason against it. We peril our lives
and our fortunes by our acts. Well,
we look abroad and see we are about
to be whipped. We cannot stand it
any longerj so we throw down our
guns, and send word to tho Govern
ment "We stole these old muskets,
they did not cost us anything, you can
take them back; wo will be candidates,
and take part in politics and the affairs
of the State, just as we ever did."
What is the result? It-puts the
traitor in a hotter position than the
loyal man. If he goes and makes him
self a new constitution and a new gov
ernment, and then loses, he loses noth
ing on top of God's earth. Now that
is a strange game to play at. That's
heads I win, tails you lose. [Laugh
ter.] The traitor loses nothing, the
loyal man loses ail. His Government
loses all. It loses by the destruction
of property ; it loses by the destruction
of life; it loses the effect of the law of
the land; it loses the moral effect that
the enforcement of the law has upon
the people. All these the Government
loses, but the traitor loses nothing.
I wish our friends—(l will call them
friends because we call all our friends
unless wo know they are our enemies,
or you may call them what you please,
the people who opposed the war are
now opposing the Union organization
in this land) —wouldtell me this : Why
is it that they are so anxious to have
these people represented in Congress
now as soon as they lay down their
arms, when these people declined for
four years themselves to he represent
ed? What is their anxiety? What
causes it? I cannot see why this peo
ple on the Congress side of the United
States should bo in any hurry to re
quire them to be represented. They
declined to bo represented for four
years, but the very moment the}* laid
down their arms, they say, why, we
want members in Congress; we want
a part of the foreign missions; we want
the officers of the law to be distributed
among us; we want our rights. They
talk about rights ! [Laughter.] Well,
so might a horse thief at the very time
he is being tried get up before the
judge, after the proof had been given,
showing that he had stolen the horse,
and say, "Judge, I want my rights !"
The judge would say, " My dear friend,
you will get them in a few minutes. I
think that the jury will send you to
the Penitentiary for twenty years "
[Laughter.]
Oh, they want their rights, rights
that they forfeited, rights that they
are not entitled to; rights that they
denied to themselves by their own act
of treason. They tried to destroy the
Government, and denied its authority
by their acts, and thus lost all the
rights that they had in this land. And
now, instead of marching up with a
pardon in ono pocket and a certificate
of election in the other, demanding
what they call their rights, what ought
they to do? They ought to be on their
knees, imploring this great and glori
ous Government to be magnanimous,
and offer them that clemency which
our gallant, honest and faithful Presi
dent, Abraham Lincoln, offered to
them so often, and which they so often
refused.
I am willing that the people shall
have their property, or the little they
have got left, though I think they have
n good deal more than they ought to
have unless the}* behave better than
they seem to. But 1 care nothing
about that. If the people are willing,
I have no objection. Ido not want to
bo their executioner; but I do want to
do a few things as one of the American
people, as one of the loyal citizens of
this land, as a man who has as much
right as anybody else, and no more, to
claim the exercise of certain right and
privileges in this country that loyal
men are entitled to. 1 want to be
recognized in this land as a soldier of
the .Republic of the United States, and
not a disgraced man. I want to be
recognized, at the same time, as a man
who has done more for his country
than a traitor. [Applause.] 1 want it
to be so in this laud that General Sher-
man may stand here to-day before the
American peoplo in a prouder light,
higher socially, morally, politically,
and every way, than does Joe John
son, the man that fought against him
in the armies of treason. [Applause]
That is what I want to sec. I want
to see treason made odious and loyalty
made respectable.
* * * There is 110 Government
011 this earth but ought to make every
man a citizen. Ido not mean by that
they ought to give him the right to
enjoy the privilege of voting, or hold
ing otiice, but he ought to he a citizen,
so that ho might be protected by the
laws and by the flag, wherever he may
be. A woman is a citizen, a child is a
citizen, a red man is a citizen, or ought
to bo, if lie Hves in your land, and is a
civilized person, and so ougt a black
man. It gives them no rights except
the rights merely of a citizen. [Ap
plause.] What right - does it give them?
ft gives them the rights 1 have men
tioned none other. I want to know
what magnanimity there is in a great
government like this that w ill allow
one of our women, one of our children,
or a red man, or a black man, to be
captured on the high seas and made
a prisoner, and then when the Gov
ernment is asked by the captive's
friends to demand him, say ho is not a
citizen of the United States, he cannot
claim our protection Now the man
must pay taxes, he must bear the bur
dens of Government, but he has no
claims to the protection of the flag.—
You say, " No, sir, he is not an Amor
ican citizen." Sir, I want every man to
be a citizen—man, woman and child,
irrespective of color. "Oh," but say
some friends in this country, " if yon
do that you mako voters of the color
ed people." It does no such thing. If
the peoplo of Illinois want the people
of color to vote, they have the right to
make voters of them. If they don't
want to do it, they have the right to
prohibit. That right remains the same
with each State as it ever did. This
proposed provision of the Constitution
says to you and I, sir, that every man
is a human being ; that every man is
a citizen of the United States. You
have 110 right to go out and murder
him j you have no right to take his
property; you have no right to take
his work without paying him his wa
ges ; you have no right to abuse that
man or trifle with his rights and priv
ileges. lie is a man even as you are,
and has the same protection from the
laws that you have. Any Christian
people 011 top of God's earth that would
not give this protection of the law to
every human being, that had life
breathed into him by Our Father, com
mits a great sin and sinks into obliv
ion.
Sir, when you ask me how I became
such a groat advocate of universal cit
izenship, I can answer the question. I
have had my prejudices just as other
men in this land, but when 1 marched
with the columns of loyal men on
Southern soil, and saw the Hag of trea
son defiantly flaunted in our faces;
when I looked around me and asked
for friends, I appealed to the white
man in vain; he was the friend of the
traitor, the sympathizer wi4h rebel
lion ; but he owed allegiance, ho tho't,
to treason, and not to the Government
of the United States. But at the deep,
dark hour of night, the poor colored
man, bowed down by the chains of
slavery, would crawl thro' the marsh
es, and thro' the thickets, wade the
rivers, and come into your picket lines,
into your camps, and tell you where
the rebel forces lay, and how you
might attack treason and destroy it.
[Cheers.] That is the reason why I
cared not when I found a man that
was my friend —a friend to my coun
try —though his skin was black, I could
trust him sooner than I could the white
traitor [" That's so."]
Hence I want him to have the pro
tection of the law; lam in favor of his
having it. I ask you, my countrymen,
I ask you, mothers, who are sitting
around in this little group, that have
fond sons that lie away farofT beneath
the hot burning sands of Georgia,
whose faces you will see no more on
earth, whose graves you can never vis
it again, perhaps, and the old fathers,
too, and the little prattling babe, that
often asks his mother, "Mother, when
will my father again return to me?"
to have the laws of this land so modi
fied, that while traitors in the South
have their gatherings, day after day,
to strew garlands of flowers upon the
graves of Keboi soldiers, that they maj'
live in their memory as long as life
shall last, if some poor, old, decrepid
negro, who has gained his liberty by
the march and prowess of American
arms, shall come along with a basket
of flowers, to strew upon the grave of
some poor loyal soldier, that ho shall
have the right to do it, and that no
person shall have the right to interfere
and that he is to be protected. [Emo
tion.] *
* * * Now that Davis, the head
Ei2aWl£SlP©Ws?a SHEHHkIIKr JPiSSUo
of the rebellion, is in prison at Fort
ress Monroe for his offences against the
Government, they begin to speak of
his case. They grow so sympathetic
in reference to his punishment. They
must examine him every week to see
whether his health is improving or de
clining. They must have a continual
report, and. >' lie is a little declining,
they give In.a the right to go where
he pleases iu and arui mftho fortifica
tions.
If they keep him pretty close for a
da)* or two, a few gentlemen go there
to see whether or not tho country is
ripe for bailing him out. When they
put a finger on the pulse of the Nation,
the pulse begins to beat with fever
boat. If they attempt to bail him out
there will be such a bowl through the
land that these men will tremble in
their boots.
When they find that they cannot do
that, Mrs. Davis —I do not blame her
for that; she is a woman, and as a mat
ter of course, loves her husband, and it
is her duty 1o do all she can for him—
goes to Washington, and she begins to
speak of paroling Jeff. Davis, llis sa
cred parole ! llis bond of honor, 1 sup
pose. [Derisive laughter.] Liko the
man Stephens, who is now running at
largo with the other traitors in the
same old way. Some have pardons in
their pockets. Some have paroles in
their pockets. Every one of you who
has been in the army knows what par
doning a rebel means. Why, wo par
doned them one day and captured
them the next. That's about tho way
we did. The country wunts now to
see if Mr. Davis can be pardoned. The
physician then comes forward and
takes hold of the pulse of the Ameri
can people, and finds that it is not
quiet enough for them ; it has not cool
ed down enough yet. They have been
dosed a little too much with medicine
already, to be given quinine. So it goes
out that Mr. Davis cannot he paroled;
it cannot be done.
My fellow-countrymen, in my judg
ment 1 charge no man with it; there
are men in this land to-day who aro
high in position, who, if it were in
their power, would to-day parole J elf
Davis and turn him loose, and let him
escape tlie country. ['Johnson, John
son— the President.'] I do not be
lievo that such a thing enters into the
plans of the loyal people of this coun
try. Some of these sympathizers say,
'Do you want to keep a man in prison
and let him rotV Well, I don't know
that I want to keep a man in prison
until he rots, but they kept a good
many of our soldiers there until they
rotted. [Sensation ] They had no
sympathy for the poor soldier when
ho was dying at Andersonville. Many
a poor boy, perhaps some of you, lest
their feet there. I know one in Pey
ton county, a young man named Do
horty, both of whose feet dropped off
in Andersonville prison, and who now
walks on two wooden legs. Then
there are others who suffered in the
same horrible way. There was no
sympathy in the bosom of traitors for
those poor men then, while they were
groaning, suffering and dying. When
did you ever hear a soft voice coming
from the South, saying : 'Come hero,
friends of these poor soldiers, and give
them relief. We are not able to do it.
Take them away from us and adminis
ter to their wants. But it one of these
traitors is kept in prison a little while,
especially if it is the great Jeff Davis,
some of these people speak of the great
hardships —it is a terrible wrong that
must not be done.
Ladies and gentlemen, it may be that
I have none of the milk of human
kindness in my heart. It may be that
lam not tender in my disposition. It
may be that I am rash in my feelings.
I cannot tell. But I can go with you
to-day, with these mothers and brothers
and sisters, to the graves of your lost
ones, and I can weep there oceans of
tears, side by side, over tho fallen mar
tyrs of loyalty in this land; but God
forbid that I should weep over the
pains and penalties or the punishment
fastened upou traitors or treason in
this country.
An Editorial Brutus.
An editor out West indulges in the

scribers and patrons. The lamous
speech of Brutus, on the death of
Caesar, as rendered by Shakespeare, is
made to do new service in this amus

'Hear us for our debts, and get ready
that Jyou may pay; trust us; we are in

you have been long trusted; acknowl
edge your indebtedness, and dive into

as we contracted, '.vc have furnished

RECIPES.
Cure for Neuralgia. —A New Hamp
shire gentleman says: 'Take two largo
tablespoons of cologne and two tea
i spoonfuls of fine salt; mix them to
gether in a small bottle; every time
; you have any acute affection of the
j facial nerves, or neuralgia, simply
I breathe the fumes in your nose from
| the bottle, and you will be immcdiato
| ly relieved.'
Tomato Soup a la Oysters. —To one
quart of canned tomatoes, or others
which have been boiled about fifteen
minutes, add two quarts water, and
boil fifteen minutes more; then drop
iu carefully, a little at a time, enough
pulverized saleratus or soda to neutral
ize the acidity, which you may know
by its ceasing to foam—usually about
an oven tcaspoonful to a quart. Then
add one quart of rich milk, six or eight
crackers pounded finely; butter, salt,
and pepper as for oysters; lot it boil
up and serve immediately. It strong
ly reminds one of oysters, and is very
nice for sick persons as well as highly
palatable for well ones.

Red Ink. —Tako a half ounce vial,
put in a teaspoonful aqua ammonia,
