WORD OF PALLIATIoN-SIX OF ONE AND

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 25.-The Picayune of to-
day contains the following: Even Kellogg is en-
titled to a fair hearing, and the defense against
the unjust imputations of one of these proceed
ing from his party allies is so patent and ia-
grant that we feel bound TO say word in his
behalf. This is the charge of cowardice in the
particular act Of his abandonment of the State
mouse before an advancing army of 10000 armed
citizens. In Washington City, and all over the
North, the extreme radicals complain that he
did not remain at the state house and meet the
enemy at the Threshold, sword in hand,
and perish like a man in defense of
his rights and government. Those pugnacious
and mendaclous personages, Messrs. We {, Dur
rel, Lowell, Benham. ct al are especially en-
phatic in condemnation of the pusillanimity
of kellogg. 1t is quite neat answer OF kellogg
to all this cheap display of Spartan heroism,
when, In his telegram to West, he regrets the
absence of his sanguinary friends in the moment
of his great peril. They would doubtless have
constituted powerful body guard TO support
him in the reproduction at the 81. Louis Hotel
of that dismal and heroic tragedy in which The
odore OF Abyssynia ended his career in way
worthy of an emperor.
