The Davenport News calls the . . .

. . . Sigourney News a scoundrel for intimating that Clay Dean sympathizes with treason.  The less the Davenport News stirs up the ‘sweet-scented Evangelist,’ the better it will be for that gentleman. – Des Moines Register.

We think so too.  A paragraph that went the rounds of the press a year ago stating, that Henry Clay Dean had said that “since the crucifixion of Christ there has not been so benevolent an institution known among men as African Slavery,” stands uncontradicted.

– Published in The Davenport Daily Gazette, Davenport, Iowa, Friday Morning, April 11, 1862, p. 2
