Amos Kendall and the Post Office De-
partment Though the hostility of this
gentleman to the u. S. Bank and its mea-
sures drew down upon him the bittarest
animadversions yet We are sure that there
is hut one opinion at this time, as regards
his administration Of this department
When he took the situation which be now
holds, he foundthat large debt had been
created, heavy responsibilities incurred,
not strictly within the authority of any
Post Master General to assume. In many
parts of the country great irregularities
existed in various Offices, besides the most
fragrant neglect of duty on the part Of many
mail contractors. But under the admins
ltration of Mr.. Kendall, q new aspect has
been put upon the condition ofthfs Office
