the tenor of some nniupications published
recently in your paper, over the signature
of Narragansctt," that the writer Of them
hps long considered Amos Kendall MS the
M osl prominent and efficient man connected
with the present administration. 1t is true
he docs not possess that species OF talent
that commands respect, as well Ms attention,
but he is gifted with that peculiar genius or
instinct which enables him to appreciate and
rightly to understand the leading character
stcs md prejudices Of mankind-undto to sp'
ply such measures in the promotion Of his
designs as will secure success, although the
means he uses are generally false oDd dccep-
tive in their character. The Vaccinations
Of himself and CO. workers have entirely dc.
s,royed the business Of the country, and moth
ing more is required to utterly annihlato its
liberties and subvert its principles Of govern
ment, but the reelection Of Martin Van
Buren,. The consplratOrs are about in the
same situation tha, gang Of pretty much
the same description Of men were formerly,
who had arranged great number of barrels
of gunpowder under the House occupied
by Parliament, in England, and who were
detected OH the eve TINT they were about to
apply the match-Guy Fawkes, their ins,ru-
mont, being detected with dark lantern in
his hand, in the act of arranging the train to
fire the powder. II Martin Van Burcn is
re. elected, the power the Executive will nc
qurc by means Of o Government Bank, and
If necessary standing army of foreigners,
will eiIoctually prevent all farther resistance
on the part Of the friends of liberty. This
The conspirators arc fully aware of-and the
most desperate and ierocious efforts will be
made by them to retain their power. The
writer thinks it probable, from their late
moveme nts, that they intend bringing into
the field II number Of candidates for the Vice
Presidency selecting men in different States,
of great locul influence, and thus divide the
Wing party on the choice of Vice Pres-
dent, SO as to defeat the election by the Peo-
pie, and make it depend on the Senate, in
which case it will undoubtedly be conferred
on one of their own creatures chosen from
the two highest candidates, and thus in case
of the death Of Wing President, the same
men will again assume power. When the
life of one man only shall stand in the way

characters connected with the present nd
ministraton, tho writer believes it would be
worth much more than IN ordinary premium
to insure il.
The writer has before referred to the effect
that has been produced on tho public mind
in many neighborhoods, by the cuuningly
devised falsehoods and sophisms circulated
in the Globe newspaper-and probably most.
ly written by Messrs. Kendall, Benton and
Blair. by letter published in ,hat paper,
dated May II, 1910, it appears that Amos
Kendall has resigned his office Of Post Mas
ter General on account as he says Of his
health. II is not the intention OF the writer
to dwell on tho character Of This lottor, every
hood-iarhcr than to call the attention of
your roaddrs to the assertions mado by Ken
dali therein, that he has left Office SO poor
that lie is compelled to resort, for a mainte.
nahce, to the editing of political paper, cal
led tho Extra Globe, printed by his associate
Blair, who has chari,ably bestowed the profits
arising from its sale OH the poor Ex.Postmus-
ter General. Kendall olso announces to the
public that he now holds no public station,
but is in the same situation as any other pri.
vate citizen.
We will Mr. Editor admit this oil to &c true,
if you please, viz that Amos Kendall is
both reduced TO the situation OF a private cti.
zen, that he is a poor man as he says.
On the Goth day of May, nine days after
The humble letter before alluded to, this pri-
yaie citizen and poor man, Amos Kendall,
again appears before the public in the fol-
lowing letter:
