The growth of these great cities is indeed
but the index TO the growth of the entire

bringing its extremes together in the easy in
terchange of trade and friendship; we have
built and are operating 10000 miles Of rail.
way-more than they have In Europe and all
the rest Of the world beside; we have in
creased our agricultural products until the
crops Of a single year are worth more than
$1,000, 900 in gold coin; we have multiplied
the number Of our handicrafts and our power
of machinery until we are one of the foremost
manufacturing nations Of the world; we have
pushed population away beyond what but
yesterday seemed the most distant frontier, or
indeed until there is no frontier left save that
which is washed by the waves Of either great
ocean.
With n population so widely extended, with
local interests so greatly diversified and often
in seeming conflict, 1t Is not TO be expected
that so great a Government as ours can at all
times be administered with perfect satisfaction
to every section and every citizen. But we
daily grow to know more Of each other, and /
am sure it will he found Of the East and OF
the West, OF the North and of the South, that,
the more intimately they become acquainted
and related, the better they will like each
other, and the less VIII appear the differences
that sometimes divide them. Tariff and cur
rency, internal improvement, and cheap
transportation are all susceptible OF fair set
tlement after full discussion; and, In the final
arbitrament Of a wise statemanship it will be
found, In regard to these questions and all
others Of like magnitude, that the interest of
one section is the interest of all, and that the
"more perfect Union" which our fathers
sought TO establish viii be fully and finally
realized when each section is unwilling TO en-
Joy an undue advantage over any other, and
when all sections are alike ready to be gov
erned, in what they ask and in what they
give, in what they demand and in what they
concede, by that spirit of patriotism which
always obeys the "authority of principle" and
always yields to the "despotism Of duty"

number TO the colored male adults all made citi-
zens by the war, and the census argument estab-
fishes larger excess of Republicans over Demo
cratic voters In this State than even the Repub
lican party claim.
This analysis is absolutely conclusive,
and furnishes the key to the late insur-
rection. Knowing these facts to exist as
Kellogg states, McEnery, Penn and Marr
knew also that fair election must incv-
itably result in Republican victory,
and a Republican victory in 1874 settles
the disputed question of 1872 in favor of
the justice of the claim of Kellogg to the
office of Governor which he now holds.
Hence the revolution became a political
necessity. Hence the charge that Kel-
logg had "heaped upon the people of
Louisiana innumerable insults, burdens
and wrongs"
IL is incumbent upon McEnery and
Penn, and upon the whole body of Dem
ocratic White Leaguers of Louisiana,
now to overthrow Kelloggs statement
or confess themselves falsifiers and Sian
derers. The odium of thieving, corrup
ton and robbery is shifted from the
shoulders of Kellogg, his administra-
ton and the Republican party and rests
upon the White League usurpers. If
they cannot relieve themselves of the
load of shame they must go to the WALL
Inter- Ocean.
