SPECIAL TELEGRAMS TO THE WERALD. Barwem’s Side Show—Npeech of General John A. Logan. Bruparronr, Feb. 27, 1587. A large radical fair, which will be moved about she ‘State, originated for charitable purposes, was opened ‘this evening, im Franklin Hall, where General John A. ‘Logan held forth on bebalf of Mr. Barnum, the show- man, and the whole radical republican qcket. The meeting was largely attended by showmen and others of like profession, hundreds of whom are now in this Reighborhood, and who will go on their usual summer campaign soon after the pelitical side shew now open in this district is closed. General Logan being am interesting living curiosity took very well. The interest of the exhibition was greatly entranced by a large number of State fossils, ‘who occupied seats on the platform. General Logan, in the course of bis speech, spoke as follows:—It affords me much pleasure indeed to meet so many of the citizens of Connecticut to-night, and to be able to speak regarding the political questions that are ‘ow before the country, It would seem that after the terrible struggle we have had for the maintenance of this Tepublic and the liberties of its people that now peacat Yeast should dawn upon us; that now at least the people sbould be permitted to be quiet; but such is not the case, We havea ay itis ban been pro a di (Gr ehh the war was aio 00 hat accom] that is to do right and to do kind—a it whether and said:—This republican party is pot so aged as the democratic party, and bonce not so sinful. (Applause. ) This republican party was born at a fortunate time for this country. It came forth aman in all ite parts; it is the child from the womb of Itberty, When the speaker tonched rather eeverely upon the democratic party some one behind him said “You were a democrat,” to which the General replied “We all do wrong some- times mm our lives.” He whenever treason has shown its head it had come out of the democratic party. ‘In speaking of the President, he used these words:—Mr. Johnson then became President—he is President. I recognize him as such. He said treason should be made odious, and traitors mast be punished. I wish he had stuck tothat sentiment. When be said that you all said “Amen!’’ Every honest, loyal man in this land endorsed him. He said he was going to make treason odioue’and punish traitors, The demo- crate were not Johnson men_ then—now they are. Some one has changed. Either the demo- crats changed or Andy bas. How has he made treason odious? He has not hung Jeff Davis, por Breckioridve nor Beauregard. In his own Johnson stands with the lie in bis throat He as kept Jeff Davis in prison, and CC Clay and all others who bave asked him and some who have pot asked him. He has returned confiscated property to the value of millions, and has attempted to force rebels. into Concress to make laws for loyal people. What is Johnson's — ? He says that under the constitttion thé rebels have aricht to be by sdgeraost in Congress and to organize a government for themselves without the consent of Congress. I assert that Andrew Johnson bas usurped power which he has no right to exercise. He is simply the Execotive, Where did be get the right to organize a State government? We say the rebel States have no rij it to exercise the functions of a gov- ernment Lecause they have been guilty of treason. By rebelling they overturned their State goveanments and acted under anether constitation. They were without rights when the war ceased, Johnson saye they were Staten. I deoy it.
