Ills currently reported and generally believed,
that New York is be honored as the future rest
dencc of Mr. Kendall, late Post Master General.
In thus selecting the commercial emporium oil Tue
Union as his home, no has given evidence OF his
un. ssuming modcsiy. | tako it for granted that
he is to publish mercantile paper, because no
man in America has done much 20 InJure the
me rcantile interest of this people Mr.. Kendall.
To the influence which he acquired aud excrcis-
ed over an imbece old man, may be ascflbed
much of the ruin that has been spread over the
face OF our country, bat especially in our sea-
ports. He is visionary theorist, surcharged
with speculative and gambling projects. With
head filed with with experiments, in an III
fated moment he became the adviser and con
science keeper of General Jackson. The consc-

Whether Mr. Kendall IS Is no; TO be nssoca
ted with Mr.. Mumford, am not informed MIR
Murniord has double the Information aud more
talent. l do no, believe. however, THAI they
would be well matched. There would be IL
test for supremacy. b.; this Is affair of their
own. OF all the catch pennincs that has ever
been published in the U. States, in the form OF a
newspaper otherwise, the Extra Globe the
greatest. Exactly IN the ratio Ihat their number
was increased, the Wing votes increased.
Kendall Is III this city; but he has lost
character with his party, as a man of judgment
capacity; and with the loss OF office he has lost
all influence Indeed | understand, and have
no doubt. correctly, he Is rather avoided than
sought by his party. No gentleman among
the Wings associate with him. Many of the Lo-
cofocos, who formerly his friends and sup
portors. now openly declare their belief that he
contributed greatly to the defcart Of Mr. Van Ba-
rem. In the discharge Of his official duties he
was naughty and oyerbeariag. The ..insoicncc

pie, and Kendall was provcrbia for II. 70 the

Mr. Stanley Of North Carolina, las. week.
moved that the books and papers appertaining to
the General Post O.iice, which was not required
fer immediate use, should be forth " it'll deposited
in somo fire proof building, remarking at the
time, that he understood Amos Kendall
was lurking about the city of Washington.
Mr.. Clay never gave stronger evidence of his
discernment and sagacty than when he estirsIl-
ted Nif kcndeli's talents at cierkshp not ex-
ceeding one thousand dollars per annum. For this
he became the enemy OF Mr. Clay. For this
cnnliiy he was clcvalcd 10 office which he has
ielt IN a confused and embarrassed state. Ii the
papers (tor books they keep none) are no, burnt,
they will exhlbi, ''hcggary account OF empty
boxes,'' It nothing worse.
In n former letter Il was recommended that the
Wing Legislatures, with as little delay as practi-
cable instruct their Loco Foco Senators to vote
for repeal Of the Sub-rrcasury Bill. Ii this is
promptly done, it is believed tina, the worl. OF re-

These aPprehensIons arc produced by his CONVEX
