rbulason that resulted in these signs Of desperation
and madness Yet did that hypocritc Kendall, at
temp, impose upon tho public the fsehooJ that M
resignation occasioned by his dclica,e health
Cor the benefit Of which he proposes to devote fe
hours, every day, TO editing the Extra Globe for he
season, have found by exrerience that the excemen,
of composition is rather conducive to health Than
oiherwse'-which is the very contrary Of all other
persons experience, and contrary to his own exper;
ence formerly, when he anxious 10 oui, the
tolls of an editor" for office Of ST. 50O,, But in
offering this excuse conceal the ARRANGEMENT tb,,
had been entered into, Kendall perpetrates double
deception, for il is well known that his health WINS
quite as delicate when he first assumed the duties Of
the Post Office Department and that he might on the
present occasion have taken leave Of absence for re-
Taxation, as he and others often have done before
leaving his duties in the interval 10 be performed by
the three Assistant postmasters General. But more
OF these tergsersations Of counterfeit truth hereafter
present object is to prove the panic that dsracs
the coniederates against the prosperity of their
try and the corrupt arrangement that has grown out
of IT, Accordingly, this delegated manager Of the
political drama of this Jdeobin confederacy, concludes
his first address by promising that
As the necessary drrdn Pemenfs made
PROPOSALS, with more EXTENDED ADDRESS will be
presented TO the friends Of the Administration"
And now / "invoke" the reader again to mark
another of those medicines, Only three days had
elapsed after the announcement of the resgnng Post
master General (hree days being the usual hiatus or
breathing time between these dem qciai
when the SECRET CIRCULAR" Of the two Senators
and three Loco-foco Representatives from Alabama
Messrs VIM, r. King, Clement c. Clay, Reuben
Chapman, David Hubbard, and Dixon H. Lewis
was on the wings of the mail cxhortng the adhercnts
of the Administration in every county in the Union
to the adoption of extended system Of or
ganization," and detailing by anticipation the very
TERMS of Kenda's prospectus, shortly afterwards
published After detailing the system of organiza-
ton under four distinct heads among other evidences
of and identity in these proceedings quote
the following passages addressed to their proposed
committees Of organization in oil sections of the Union
viz:
They should also collect funds from the members
of The party for the purpose Of disseminating political
information in newspapers, books, or pamphlets
port TO some republican newspapers their proceed
ings,' &c.
us shall be employed in bringing into circulation such
papers pamphlets, and speeches are calculated to
advance republican principles"
" We urge you to extend the circulation Of repuJ-
iican newspapers The republican press has adapted
itself to the pecuniary condition of the country and
to arrest the misrepresentation of our opponents
cheap publications may be had al the subscription price
Of one dollar, from this until the Presidential election
and oven al less price, for several subscribers who
may send on their money"
Upon comparing the above extracts with the follow
ing it will be perceived that they are pretty exact
delineation of OF operations suggested
in his more extended address his prospectus of the
Extra Globe and his Autographed circular letter pub
hshcd in six days after that is on the Goth May The
burthen Of the former is, money "money," "scnd
moncy'-that of the letter is literally the same;
and especially the conclusion of the above as set in
italics description Of the terms of the pros
pcctus for the Extra Globe.
In his extended address, May Goth, Kendall says:
Democrats, inroke your aid and cooperation"
Every democratic editor in the Union is respect
fully requested to publish this address, with the
nexed Prospectus"
Every friend to democracy and an honest admins
tration is inroked TO active efforts to ertend the sab
scrpton, forwarding the names and money TO me
In his prospectus he says
This paper (the Extra Globe) will be published
until the Presidential election in November, 1870"
"Tsrms--one copy, $l-sx copies, $5-twelve CO.
PIES Siu-twenty-hve copies, sS2O-and at the same
rates for greater number
In his photographic circular he says.
Every farmer, mechanic, and Rockingham should
have one and if they cannot well spare dollar each
TWO or more should unite together to take one"
shall endeavor to take that the true hearted
men trho may aid me in reaching the mind of an ho-
nest people shall hare no cause 10 repent their erer-
tons!!W
If any now say that this candidate for the
pSU JfeDfiJ hao Ii.
EXECUTIVE JAcoBIN to bride our citizens and
buy up votes by the indirect offer and sale of Offices
and public patronage, should pronounce him not only
novice in the political traffic that so generally cha
racterzes this dynasty but that he dull of appehen
sion to the strongest crcumsanta proof that could be
adduccd in any But circumstantia proof of the
Executive participation in this arrangement to secure
the electioneerng services of the Postmaster General
is not the only reliance of my argument. The per-
sonal boasngs Of individuals in the confidence Of the
Executive could establish the fact if the recognition of
This entire system Of operation by the President and
of his cabinet be not fully established by Kendas be-
ing permitted to continue the functions of Postmaster
General, and to keep up his " most friendly inter
course and conferences with the other members of the
cabinet, until his successor appointed and during
that interval also to lay the clerks and others Of the
Post Office Department under contribution for his
electioneering rocaton, ACTUALLY COMMENCED WHILE
HE wAsYET POSTMASTER GENERAL, AND IN THE couN-
