Amos Kendall had sprung up TO illustrate and iliu-
mine it by his presenccll
do not object 10 this union Of Blyfll and Black
George and their association with birds of feather
but when the opinions Of most iIustrious and
purest patriots are, after their deaths garblcd, mis-
quoted, and msappied by such worthless as Kendall,
Duncan, Buchanan, Van Buren, and c. J. Ingerso
is surely time for the American People to lift this
stolen garb Of Democracy" and to examine who
laugh at them from underit Who fatten their ere
duiiy, and the spos Of office, while they bring into
contempt an honored appellaton which belongs alone
TO those who would diminish the power Of the Gene
eral Government curta its expenses and reduce its
action to the pure axoms Of the patriotic trainers of
the Constuton--then as Wings and the true
Democrats
These "Prospectus, and mountains of Appeals
to the People show the wrctchedness of their pre-
tensions and that their limbs refuse To support the
armour of Democracy" which they have stolen
Like that Of Achilles, Democracy shields all but
HE heel The Z" Samese twins" are oil heel, and
footsteps IF aihsfrious predecessors.
Reflect how often these political mendicants have
begged in the Of Democracy" for aid how
like the whining appeals of the street imposter who
stops you every where with, aid in the name oil
Charity"
Disgusting sir are these evidences Of corrupt men
destroying by their connection the time honored APP
pellation of Demoerdf
Can il be- that the People viii longer support them
and their msbehaviours nj the expense Of national
bankruptcy general distress, and the utter degrade
ton Of democratic principles which we all delight to
honor.
Remark, in the concluding paragraph Of this APP
peal the identity of language there used with Amos
present Circular" No hesitate to believe
as has been before charged that the Globe and Ex-
ira Globe have, all along, been part and parcel of
Amos ''nnproduciipe property
I'VE solicit, &c "The friends Of democracy can
afford 10 pay dollar" IN miH be our care 70 M
IL riM such authentic information 1riH enable them
10 dissipate ne talsehoods through which the Oppos
ton hope to infect the public mind and bring Fede
raj majority into the next House Of Represents
tives,n &c.
Our care" did not quite affect this object-but
''our care brought over the "Nuliers,' &c, dis
franchsed sovereign State, that "the party OBJ
tanned thus Federal majority which 'our care
failed to obtain from the People, and thus they
enabled to abuse their and to fasten the yoke
on their stubborn necks spite of lamentations here

You will observe also that the terms of the Ex-
ira Globe develope the gradual corruption of the Post
Office to mere political machine in the hands of UNI
scrupulous agents Thus, in 1898, Amos says 81
payments may be transmitted by mail post paid, at
our risk 7.
Not word about Postmascrs having the power
to circulate ''Prospectuses, and to frank funds on
He framed this regulation afterwards it was sub
sequent thought, preparatory to more WHOLESALE cor
rup,ion-for well he knew 'hs hrelings" dare not
touch other "prospectuses" than his own, and that
few or none of the Opposition would conide their
money to 'our care"
had wished to ask you what Amos means by
" fraud 81" Countenanced adopted system
(See last nights Globe) Is he writing out his own
dictment, Levi Woodbury., and the party's?"
Does he mean that any one would steal his repu-
tation or that there can be any Treasury rats
except the oiice-hoiers will he permit to hope
that there may be further for frauds" in the
empty Sub Treasury vaults.
