There never was popular demonstra.
tion whioa stood upon more impregea-
bio grounds Of right, justice and ste.
publican principles and duty than that
which has been achieved iin this city.
Nothing can be more false than to
claim it as the victory OF political
party, least Of all, ns race victory.
It was simply an uprising of the peo-
pie against intolerable oppression
and hagrant usurpation. The long
submission to the usurpntiou, so pro-
nonnced by Tue Congress Of the United
States, was yielded by the people
from respect and loyalty to the Go.

conditiuns, have been continued until
the Federal Government had iiuully

had even been led to trust to the
assurances of Kellogg that hu would
administer the Government so AS to
secure relief for many of the wrongs
complained Of; that he would effect
the repeal of the obnoxious laws which
were the sources of the vast demorul.-
zation and ruin of our State; thnt he
would pursue corruption aud aisho-
nesty in the public Offices aud arrest

been long going OF; that he would
rebuild the credit Of the State; would

1t is represented that Grant was in n
dcvouring rage when he heard Of the
Louisiana revolt. Ilo is represented
to have threatened to take the field
himself if necessary. The real reason
of his wrath probably was that the
disturbances kept him from getting
back TO Long Branch. All the allie
tions of the people in the South are
nothing to him, unless they interfere
with bis pleasures.
