LETTING GO TO TAKE A BETTER HOLD

LETTING GO TO TAKE A BETTER HOLD
The address of Mr.. Amos Kendall, or
rather the resignation TO which it refers, af-
fords, in our view, fine specimen of the
operation OF letting go to take better hold.
Mr. Kendall, as we'll as the higher pow
ers, has deemed that his continuance in Of
fee is not likely to prove a benefit to the
administration, Whatever it may be TO him
self; and hence, that weight has been cut
loose, by consent of parties, from sinking
concern, in the hope that it NAV possibly
regain some degree of buoyancy, in public
opinion, and also that the well known quail
ties of Mr.. Kendall, as the conductor of an
INSCRIPTIONS, violent partizaD journal, may
farther aid the cause, in its extremity. If,
by these means, and by all others that can
be brought to bear, Mr.. Van Buren, can be
reelected, Mr.. Amos Kendall will at once
return TO we'll replenished crib, where he
will doubtless take care, by his great saga
city, to make up for lost time. At present
he retIres virtually, as we understand it, on
leave of absence. He remarks that, if he
supposed his resignation could endanger
the success of the Government, (meanng
the reelection of The chiefly he would cling
to Office as he would to life. 10 this II
might probably be added, with at least equal
truth, that, if Mr.. Postmaster General, Ken
dali, had been certain of the reelection OF
MIR. Van Buren,, without this temporary cut
ting loose, and if the free choice were left
him, he would have "cIung to office as he
would to life"
The small matter of profits from the Elk
ira Globe, which Messrs. Blair 81 Rives
have, in their extra generosity, offered to
MIR. Kendall, is good one, any way you
can fix it. One cannot but admire the hu.
mility and philosophical resignation thus
Swallowed forth. A cabinet officer, with

POSTSCRIPT.

rYesterday evening, as the steamer
Vicksburgh, Capt. Grice, was leaving our
LANDING, her yawl struck against log, up
set, and precipitated two of the sailors into
the river One of them succeeded in gain
ing the boat-the other swan to the nearest
point on shore. Instead of sending the
small boat to the wet and half drowned sal
lor, who stood on shore waiting for assist
ance to reach the steamer, Capt g. in the
most unfeeling, not to say brutal manner,
called to him, ordering him to swim to the
boat, then at some distance in the current,
otherwise he could remain where he was
and be id!
/ If such conduct as this does not merit anc
and meet public Indignation, we confess
our ignorance of southern character.

friends, money, or any other clothing thar

THE VICE PREsIDENCY

The Convention friendly to the present
Administration, which met at Baltimore on
the 9th of May, to recommend candidates at
the next election for President and Vice
President, having adjourned after declining
TO nominate for the Vice Presidency, con-
slider myself authorized to interfere in that
question so far as | have been made person
ally interested in it.
The Union party in Georgia which did
me the honor, very Unexpectedly, to make
an unconditional nomination of me for that
office last year, had the kindness, in con-
formty to my wishes, to change that nomi-
nation into an expression of preference, and
to refer the subject to the decision of those
who we're expected, fairly representing their
political friends, 10 decide upon it.
No decision having been made, union and
concert ofaction are not now to be anticipa-
ted. According TO the present state of things,
no friend of the Administration can hope for
an election by the People. The more for
tunate can be thrown only high enough on
| the electoral poll to secure being chosen by
the Senate. Whoever succeeds then, will
occupy his place with perfect knowledge
that he owes his elevation to the partiality
of fragment of his own party, and holds il
against the decision of a majority of his fel,
low citizens.
Withhold the sustaining power Of public
appreciation, and the honor and emoIuments
of public office in all free countries, and par.
ticularly in this, are but poor recompenses
for the labor performed, the responsibilities
incurred, and the gross misrepresentation
inevitably encountered in fulfilling its duties
During large and not unsuccessful public
career, have never yet been placed in a
situation to doubt that the position occuPi
ed was agreeable to the wishes of the great
majority of those to whom belonged the righ
to control it. desire public station on nc
other terms. Without denying to the Union
party in Georgia, or to any other portion o
my fellow citizens, the right to use my name
if, in their opinion, it will be beneficial to the
Public, it will not be further mixed up in thu
contest if my wishes are respected. While
the contest continues, il would be sourc,
of vexation to me, and, what would be con
sidered successful result, if attainable
would afford me no personal qualification.
