Mr.. Clay 6naly informed hiu that he had a

Hi,,ireaciery found tho reward il coveted
rather asao that it deserved Gen. Jackson
was elected President, and Kendall transfer
rcd TO the theatre on which he had so long !,
sighed for an opportunity to display his tai |
ens. Ne was made an Auditor ia the Treas
ory. wiih salary of $4,000.
Hisiirst movement, at Washington was char
acteristio Of the man. He walked into the |
hudii6r,s Office, and found sixteen hewspa- |
p.rs there taken at the cost Of the Govern
sncat. Burning with vrtuous indignation, he |
ordered them all to be slipped, and parsded
The iaeis oil the case in most seeming vrtu- |
Gus let,eg in the newspapers. His superhu-
man ssiidSni'i wac tho tiicuIo Of swelling ad-

prartiec ~hirh he had so yche:nently land we |
think JUSTLY denounced in public he silently |
recommended. Member Of Congress, in |
looking over the accounts his Department
for 1887, found more newspapers taken by
hin and paid foi 10y the Government than in |
1899 when he came into office! lie had Ia
ken the credit of stopping dozen Wing pa
pers, and then ordered as many more OF ven
ON congenial TO his own. Such is Amos
Kendall
Amos was several years Auditor at $4,000,
and he h's for five or SIX been Postmaster
General at $4,000 per anum. He has quar-
tered sotss tenor twelve OF his near relatives
upon tie Trcas-iry as Clerks, Messengers, &c.
lie has seen largely interested in the land
sTeculailons OF the gigantic North American
Land Cumpahy,' and we believe in other sim
liar adventures. How excep,ionabe this is,
We need %; attempt 10 portray; II is plain as
the sun at moon. The Postmaster General
has u IN ssis power greatly 10 aid these spec
ula'ions bv establishing new Mail Routes or
cKpe lifting old ones lie may make trac, OF
land worth thousands moro by single dash
OF his pens And we are well assured that. for
his "Us'Es-hfs Influence" with Gen. jackson
IN favor of the operations of the North Ameri-
can Land Company, he received a slice OF its
net proceeds then valued al Ei1g Thousand
Dlsifdrs' And this man has now resigned the
office OF Rosunasier Genefal--we believe be-
cause Mr. .foTcyth had declared 10 the Presi-
dent that te would no longer continue in the
Cabinet uslss.s Kendall wen, on, Of it-and
now appeals 10 the People To take his Extra
Globe ON .coosui OF his poverty. Shame on
HIM - e.
Thus pdshel from his seat. Amos Kendall
takes the htld as Marshal of the Office Hol-
ders iying baiia1ans, and seeks 20 rally them
again 10 the conai,t. He resigns his office
ea eeeoaHi u has health, aud takes charge Of
the leafin2 Poliiical organ Of his party lie
only taxes his party twice rs much for paper
IA our own and other weekly advocates OF the
Peoples Cause are afforded for. Nery well
