A. the writer mas before stated. the twt
letters Of Kendall, published in Niles Regis
ter contain II complete key 10 the course o
policy pursued by tho present aud past ad
mInis,rations. II has bcen shown that char.
ges were brought against the bank Of using
It's money TO subsidzc tho prcss-wlile the
fact IL, there is not probably one single pres,
in the whole United States, employed b,
Government, whose conductors are not con-.
PEELED to surrender their own opinion 10 The
will of their employers, and are obliged t.
advocate all Their uc,s, rIgh, or wrong; and 81
with regard 10 nearly .very person employed
by GOvcrnment.evcn toihs day laborers about
the Custom Houses. Aud yet the corrupt
men who have brought this state OF things
Oh our once free aud Happy country. have
the lmpudence to accuse every person who
Is opposed to their misfule, of being bought
by The bank,or to charge 'hcm with acting from
motives OF pecunlary interest, They are so
corrupt themselves that they can have no
conception that any men are capable of act.
iug nom dISlnterested motives. The Bawd
whose life has been spent IN prostitution and
CRIME, and who revll.s with her filthy tongue
every woman mere yilnuus than herself, Is
an angel Of purity when compared with some
of these most pioiligate men.
II is sald that during the late charter rlrc.

two hundred foreigners were naiunliZed or

ions of Martin Van Buren,. The writer has
not been able TO ascertain the truth uf these
reports, but FOR the honor of the navy, he
trusts that So Tar as II is concerned Ut least
the charge may prove untrue. The officers
Of HE navy snd OF the army, with few most
dIsgrncc/m exceptions, have as yet sustained
a high lone Of charactcr-honorable alike 10
themselves and TO their county, notwIth-
standing the repeated attempts that have
been made by the Executive and his ninions
10 degrade them 10 II level with themselves
aud although the writer is well aware II
would be unbecoming their stations To mp.
pear as opponents of any cXIstiDg admins
tration, yet II is 10 he hoped they will stead
lastly resist any attempts that may be made
10 induce them 10 prostitute their honor by
becoming subservient or accessory 10 the IN
Nrlgues e such men as Martin Van Buren
or oi Messrs. * nIall b nton, and Bar.
In the last number the writer believes he
concluslvely showed that the dcposies were
removed from the United States Bank solely
through the influence possessed by Amos
Kendall over General Jackson. The writer
has heard i, stated that some time after the
battle of New Ollcans, General Jackson ap-
Piled to a branch of the u. 5. Bank for loan
OF 100, 900 dollars, most II not all Of which
was 10 he expended ~ the public SERVICE
II was said the directors ut The Bank were
disposed 10 do every thing they could with
prupriety To accommodate General Jackson,
aud offered to loan hun the money upon his
giving n mere nominal cndorser Tor security
this he refused positively to do-and The
directors OF the Bank did not feel themselves
authorized to make the loan with only one
name as security. 1t is said that al that time
General Jackson swore " eternal" enmIly To
the bank, although 1t is well known he had
previously pe'liIoned for branch 10 be es-
IN Tennessee, which was granted,
md that he also endeavorcd to get a branch
established IN Florida. The writer has also
,een informed by gentleman who was Il
llrcctor in the u. ). Bank, that General
ackson's name, either as principal or endor-
ter, had been sublcctcd TO protest by the
,ank. Whether the first OF the foregoing
Is true the wliter cannot say,
,ut either Of them would be sufficient to
make lasting enemy Of a man OF General
ickson'o charactcr-he being man of per-
laps the most violent and IinpIscablc temper

o have forgiven an injury, or even fancled
INSULT. La every station he has hlcd lie
ccms never to have con ,Idcred that the con-
81 Of Ia
o be applied to his conduct, much less the
uie of u Bank. Ii is certain that Andrew
Jackson was at one time tavorably disposed
o the United States Bank, from the cIrcnm-
tances before stateG-but ut the time ho
vas elected To the p, csdency his supporters
ny that he was OppoSed 10 The existence ofa
Jnllcd States Bank. No proof of THIS. how
,vor, has been brought, but ITO probable that
le was more easily induced 10 lend himself
q The iurthcrance of the schemes Of the con-
piratoIs for the destruction OF the Bank,
rom the circumstance OF hls having prevl.
us prejudice against that InsllluiIon-not-
winch, the writer has been in-
ormcd, by n gentleman who obtained his
niprmalon from Il source TO be relied upon,
hat Amos Kendall declared III presence of
u officer, formerly ~ one of the departments .
/ Washington, that II took several weeks Of
ctsuaslon before he (Kcndall) could induce
he old General TO remove the deposits
nd that Kendall also stated, that after lie
al 6ually brought the old man to declare
lcy should be removed, he had no fear but I
hat II would be done, let what might hap.
en-. II any readers should, however, doubt
he oscendancy Kendall possessed over the .
