/ REMARKS.
. From tho foregoing documents, it ap,
pears that Dutee j. Pcarce has becn
making an effort 10 ingratiate himself
with Amos Kendall, by acting the par,
Of u sycophant and false informer; and
that Amos Kendall has not thought i.
safe or cXpedient 10 admit him into his
confidence, having without the least re-
serve exposed his treacherous letter, 70
gentleman whom he knew to have u
very il! opinion Of him. The last letter
Of this man speaks Tor itself. Finding
that the iawning professions Of great
friendship for Mr. Cranston, which he
made through Mr. Ruggies, would not be
accepted as q substitute for his unequi-
vocal denial Of the charges against him,
he attempts to put u bold face upon his
guilt, and shuffles himself of from those
charges by abusing the friends, and ev-
ell the brother Of Mr. Cranston. His
(Pearce's) boast that Mr. Cranston has
been kept in office for years past through
his influence, is in character. We al!
know that during the eight years we
believe more,) shat Judge Mclean was
at the head Of tho ost-Oflicc Depart
ment, It was his determination and prac-
tice never to remove an officer under him
who conducted with fidelity in his Office
And since tho present administration
came into power,it is equally well known,
that no member on the floor Of Congress
has abused them (and especially tho
President himself,) in more virulent and
vulgar language, than Duiec j. Pemcc.
If it has been hiS influence with this ad-
minis,ra,ion which has kept MIR Cranston
IN Office, we are curious TO know rhm
kind Of influence it has been, and on ,chom
be has exercised it. We have no doubt
that there was u tiino when Dutec j Z.
Pearce acted u conspicuous par: as pro-
curer Of offices, but we should suppose,
that he would feel a particular dread of
having tha! h!amcn oil his employment
looked into. This development has al
so afforded US little more light upon his
political integrity. He has been for 4
long time laboring to persuade National
Republicans, all over the State, that he
was still firm National Rcpublican;--,
that he had not left them, and should, if
they elected him, continue to pursue the
same course he had done. In Congress
lie voted for the re-chartcring the United
States Bank land for the resolution which
passed last session by great ma jority,
declaring the Deposits in that Bank aud
its Branches, to be perfectly safe, and
disc scountenancing their removal; while in
his letter 10 Amos Kendall, he calls the
National Republican party, "Lial party
Who are IN favor of impcaching the Pres
ldent,' and says 81 hare come oui in sup
port of the President and of his reasons
Tor removing the Deposits. lie protests
loudly that he is not political anima-
son, and some Of the chiefs Of that party
iro equally loud in procaiming that ho
S not political antimason. Yet they
rave nominated him and are furiously as
we'll as insidiously. supporting him, as
he antimasonic party candidate against
Ill other candidates, although in their
,ublic addresses they have uniformly /.
declared, that il would be wholly incon-
istcnt with their principles TO support any
nan not Of their own party. lie has
oasted too, that he was nominated by
he administration Convention. Ii this
e SO We should be glad to be informed !
'heihcr that Convention nominated him
ccausc he was true National Repub- {
can, or, because he was the exclusive 5
candidate; or, because ho
ave them satisfactory assurances that, Z
tier all, he was nothing bu, genuine .
