Anta.MOnOpJ Journals whenever tney
have anything to say about the Demo
cratic White League rebellion in Lou
isiana, some of them sustain it, but
others who do not, have only to cay in
q single sentence that revolution is
wrong aud then branch off into q false
arraignmcnt OF the Kellogg govern
ment. Since the rebellion, Penn, the
leader of it, has himself said that he
has nothing against Kellogg, and that
he is an honest man that he does NOT
charge him with fraud or anything Of
that kind. Let us see what Kellogg
has to say for himself, for II his ene-
mics call him an honest man we can
certainly rely somewhat, at least, upon
his (Kellogg's) statement. Governor
Kellogg says:
Il was elected governor by major

The Davenport Democrat IL as prom
inent an antiinonop journal as there
is in the State, and here is what It had
TO say in its issue OF the 18th inst.
about the action Of President Grant
in suppressing the rebellion in Louis
lana: II 49,
"Grant intends to keep his friends in
power, SO he puts the United States
troops in New Orleans, under COM
mand of the chairman of the Repub-
lican Central Executive Committee OF
Louisiana"
Who can say that this old anti-mo-
mop, democratic paper would not, in
the event of another general rebellion,
take sides with rebels Just az it did be-
fore. The Democrat makes no COM
plant against McEnery and Penn for
their treason not one svord, but blames
the President for doing his sworn
duty and supptessing the rebellion. Il
is no wonder that the old mocratic
President, James Buchanan, found NO
way under the Constitution to saye
the Union and suppress treason in
1861. In this year of our Lord, 1874,
follower Of James buchanan in his
day, leading anti-monop.democratic
paper of Iowa, says when the Presi-
dent by the use Of the Federal power
nips treason in the bud, that he, 10
simply aiding his friends to hold on to
power. Don't tell US that the same
old treason does not Turk in the breast
OF these anti-monop-democrats. These
are the fellows who are to reform the
administration of the affairs of the
nation. 1t is, indeed, most singular
that one honest man can be wheedled
into the folly Of being deceived by
such men.
