A,tssx Kendall.

A story was recently started by the New York
Tribune ard repubIlshed in the whig papers gene
rally, charging that Mr., Kendall was greatly in.
dcbied to the recently exploded Northampton, Pa,
Bank, and insinualing that he had drawn the mo-
Dcy out Of that institution without intending
to repay it. This story was at cnco pronounced
by Mr.. Kendall ga Ger fabrication Tor the pur-
pose OF injuring his private and political charac
ter" But notwithstanding this denial, the false
hood was reiterated by the Tribune and insisted
upon as being lruc; whcreupon the editors Of the
Lehigh Democrat, residing in the same place
where the Bank was located and intimately ac-
quaintcd with all the facts, put down the Tribune
and is cofasiiers by the following plain state

county in which large sums OF money were from
time TO time required, and which, the report o
the investigating committee shows, were supplied
from the vaults of the bank, which lie then con-
trolled. The draft alluded to is one drawn BY him
on the post master general for the amount of one
quarters salary in anticipation thereof, and which
was, In all probability, discounted at the bank
without acceptance; with the understanding that
i, would be paid with the moneys received from
the department at the end Of the quarter. This
was never done, and the draft remained in the
bank but there is nothing anywhere to connect
the draft with Mr.. Kendall in such a manner as to
show tina, he knew aught of the transaction. 1t
was drawn on him, but entirely without his know
ledge. The daft was never 0ccepted by him. nc
