What Slavery has Caused.
Tim following is an extract from the
speech of Major General John A. Logan,
delivered recently to the people of Louis
ville, Ky. We hope all those who wish
to retain the institution of slavery will
read it with care, and then pause and
think:
Our land is swarming with thousands
of cripples; some have lost legs, ami oth
ers lost arms ; why do a si these men go
abroad among the people, and hold up
their shattered limbs, ami tell the slave
holder, “This is what your institution has
cost me. While you were basking in the
sunshine of safety at home, I was at the
front. IVhen slavery took the form of
armed rebellion, and soldiers were called
into the field to put it down, you found
irresistible-fascinations in the attractions was made

eternal parade before my aching eyes of
this most odious institution.”
fif, that I had the power to-night to
bring together all the slaveholders of this
h»udv and have them look on in solemn
nilewoe, while the crippled, the widows and
orphans that have begn made by This war,
could pass before tbem in grand review,
nud. tell th<*ir tales of misery and woe that
slavery bus brought wjmui them; were
their hearts not made of stone, they Would

at once rid of the curse tiia* has caused
sueh a dreadful scene.
But suppose we have no personal griev
ances over which to mourn, let us cast one
eye down along the hanks of the mighty
Father of Waters, ami then returning,
start again at^crryville. and glance along
thilt broad and deep channel over which
the red tide of battle rolled through the
gorges of the ('umbcrkind and down along
the plains of Georgia, on to the sea. Then
pnreue it around the Carolinas, to Raleigh,
and all over the crimsoned soil of Virgi
nia, aud as you count the almost countless
graves that lie all aloug the banks of that
river of blood, thick as ‘autumn leaves in
V allambrosa,” pause for one moment to
contemplate the Seas of tears, the pa
roxysms of unutterable agony, all those
must have cast when ‘‘somebody’s dar
ling” had to fall at every blow, and then
tell me if you can, when you know that
slavery caused it all, can you still cling to
it ? It has filled the lunatic asylums with
maniacs. 2k has tilled houses of refuge
with paupers. It has filled all the land
with mourning. It has deluged your land
with fraternal blood. It has snapped in
twain the tendorost ties of sosial society.
It has caused desolation to reign in prince

held its revels. It has smitten with want

Conversations with President Johnson.
A Washington correspondent of the fit.
Louis Democrat soys:
“It is but a short time since a distin

A delegation of conservatives lad just left
him. Turning to the Senator, he said:
“I woudur if those persons, who hut now

vation. There was not a man in the dele
gation that wouldn’t have united in offer

and now they talk to mo as if T owed ev
erything to them. I guess tbey’Q find I

Again. A wclLknown editor of « prom

dent: “The democracy say* you will yet
be found with them. That you have al
ways been a good Democrat, and will al
ways so remain.”
“Do they l” responded Mr. Johnson.
“Well, sir. you are at liberty to tell all
such gentlemen that while, as President,
I shall endeavor to drop any partisan char
acter; I certainly am not prepared to do
more than proy ftw those who despitcfnlly
use me. I think they stand in need Of
my prayers, and it’s all I can do for them.”
“Mr'. President, we are discouraged,”
said a oommittoe of freedweu to the Pres-
idout. “Richmond is as much in the
hands of secessionists now as it was before
Ijoe surrendered. Nominally free, we arc
yet the worst of slaves, and we see no
hope of redresa unless you aid us.”
“Gentlemen.” answered Mr. Johnson
