| The Globe announces that subscriptions "on
account Of Mr.. Kenddip' will be received at

The Philadelphia Spirit Of the Times an
nounces that Col. Page, the Post Master Of that
city, will receive subscriptions on the same ac-
| count.
We understand that purse was made up at
the Rockville post Office immediately on receipt
Of the petition for "rint." If the $4,000 post
offices in the United States do the same, Mr..
Kendall will have made, as no doubt he intend
ed, profitable exchange Of Office for emolu-
ment.
a single copy had left the city, he offers a guild
pro quo to those who send ham their money.
He will stake care" that they do not repent
their exertions. If the people will give him
power, he will pay them back in Offices He
supposes the people to be all Office hunters, and
that the most successful appeals are those which
are made to their mercenary hopes and interests.
So thought the British Packenham when he was
meditating the capture of New Orleans. He
told his soldiers that if they should fight braveIy
and successfully, New Orleans should be open to
their ravishment and plumber. Beauty and
and booty" were his watchwords. So "rint
and reward" power and plumber, are inscribed
in bold letters upon the federal flag Of Amos
Kendall. Under that he expects to conquer the
daring efforts now making by the people. He
will fail, and fall like Packenham in disgrace,

MR.. AMOS KENDALL AND HIS PO-
VERIFY
We copy the following article from the NJ Y
Times:
Consummate Hypocrisy.
The reasons given by Amos KENDALL, for his re-
sgnaton about sincere those he assigned for
dismssing all newspapers and political publications
from his office when he became fourth auditor. He
then declared that he Ind abandoned politics. yet al
the very time was engaged in writing for the Albany
Argus and the Globe, besides debating to other par
tisan editors, in different parts Of the Union fully
appeared by his letters published by Simpson, the
editor of the Pennsylvania. The rhnc about poverty
in his cemosynary letter, is of the hst contemp
tbe pieces Of hypocrisy that has yet disgraccd the
reer of this bold, bad man. He declares that he ID
under the necessity of rcsorng to private employ
ment in order to meet the current expenses" Of his
family. Now authorized to state, and our au-
thority is of the most UNREASONABLE character that
Mr.. Kendall owns, either the whole or a considers
Bile part Of farm Of 960 Of improved land in
Sangamo county, Illinois, worth about $4,000, deed
cd to him by DR. Barrit of that State That he also
owns large estate, which belonged to Col Muir
dick, with toll bridge on one Of the principal roads
in Illinois, and in the county at the Irish Grove
one other fine farm, with other landed property
That he also the proprietor Of farms in the counties
Of Edgar and Vermillion, Iinois-and that it ha,
been published that he has others in Indiana. Nc
one in this city who knows any thing of the circum
stances doubts that he was in the grand
scheme, consummated under Major T. p. MooRr, o.
Kentucky, to purchase for ratudbie consideration
the Indian reserves in mississippi. By this opera,
hon 1t Is said, nc has melted FIFTY THoULAND DOL
LARS.
II will be seen that part Of our statement is pub
lished fact and part rumor The former portion
can be established II Mr. Kendall will deny its accu
racy through the columns of-the Extra Globe, OF
through any other public medium and in order that
the allegations may be to meet his eye the Ma
dsonan will perhaps be kind enough TO rcpubsh this
article We ask our readers to look AZ these facts
which VIC boldly state cannot in any substantial point
dslls letter Of resignation. We could write nothing
by way Of comment on such comparison which thci
own disgust will not suggest
We may add that we have no doubt Of the
fact that Mr.. Kendall received something, re-
garded at the time, as eguiraientto $50, 900, fol
his services in relation to the Chickasaw re
serves. We have understood the nature Of thu
transaction to be this: BY the treaty with thu
Chickasaws, certain of their best lands were re
served for the Chiefs and became objects Of tn,
cupidity Of spectators. These reserved tracts
could not be purchased of the chiefs without tn,
consent Of the President Of the United States
The Boston Land Company being anxious t
monopolize some of the best Of these lands
found their project would be uncertain Of sue
cess, unless they could make interest" enough
