we did, and we were rery happy.
At the ho"3' Of twelve, tie company
proceeded to the residence Of the Judge,
where al sat down 10 one Of the best
tables ever spread to satisfy the appe-
sites OF assembled guests. Kate told

said She wouldn't preside over 3 met;-

never sat down to a more finished sup

AMOS KENDALI--The Hon Amos Kendalls recent
Union letter has brought him out again. and revives
the stories of his influences during the jackson Pc
riod. Miss Martineau's SKETCH written in Washing
ton, when Mr.. Kendall was Magnus Apollo, is worth
reprinting in this connection. Mr.. Martneau says:
IL was fortunate enough once to catch glimpse
Of the invisible Amos Kendall, one of the most
markabc men in America. He is supposed to be
the moving spring of the Administration; the think
er, planner and doer; but it is all in the dark
Documents are issued of an excellence which pre-
vent their being attributed to the persons who take
the responsibility OF them correspondence is kept
up all over the country for which one seems to
be answerable; work is done of goblin extent and
with goblin speed, which makes men look about
them with supersttious wonder; and the invisible
Amos Kendall has the credit of it all. President
Jacksons letters to his Cabinet are said to be Ken
dalls; the report on Sunday mails is attributed to
Kendall; the letters sent from Washington to re-
mote country newspapers, whence they collected
and published in the Globe, demonstrations of
public opinion, are pronounced to he written by
Kendall. Every mysterious paragraph in opposition
newspapers relates to Kendall; and it is some relief
that his now having the Office of Postmaster Gener-
al, affords opportunity for open attack upon this
twilight parsonage who is proved by the faults in
the Post Office administration not to be able to do
quite everything so well. But he is undoubtedly
great genius He unites with his great talent for
silence splendid audacity.
