KEND \ L L T O MR VVICKLIFFE’S LETTER, TO TJIE EDITOR OF T H E ALEXANDRIA. GAZETTE. Having observed the tender ofyour co lumns as a medium of reply to the stric tures of Mr. Robert Wickljffe on my character and conduct when you gave in sertion to his production, I determined at once to avail myself of the offer. Inces sant official engagement? have until this time prevented the accomplishment of that purpose. Were the facts of the case, or the cha racter of Robert WicklifFe for reckless mendacity, as well known to the people of the United States as they are to the peo ple of Kentucky, I should deem it unne cessary to pay any attention to his malig. nant effusion. But as it suits the present objects of a party to circulate his libels where the author is unknown, and often with gratuitous attestations of their au thenticity, it is due to myself to place the tiuth within the reach of those who ho nestly seek it. If I could be flattered by falsehood, I might feel satisfied with the allegation, that I have been for' about twelve years de facto Governor of Kentucky, and, for about eight, Pre-ident ofthe United States ! But conscious of never having possessed or aspired to the influence which has been atti ibuted to me, lhe ascription of it can only impair m y s e lf esteem, apd teach me a lesson of humility. “ One who will draw a parallel, (says Mr. WicklifFe,) between the misfortunes of Kentucky from l 8 l 7 to 182-1, (the pe riod uhen Amos held the conscience of - ur Executives,) and the condition of the United States since he has been conscience keeper of Presidents, may rendil v account for the* alarming prospects which now threaten the loss of public credit and tho. bankruptcy of thousands of r>ur citizens.” The following facts will show how far I “ held the conscience” of the Governors of Kentucky from 1S17 to 1824 : I took up my residence in the capital of Kentucky in the fall of 1916. George Madison, who had been elected G ivernor in the preceding August, died a few days before, and (iubripl Slaughter, the Lieu tenant Governor, had just entered upon the duties of the office. A question be tween the absolute right of the Lieutenant Governor to hold the office forthe wholei term of four years, and the right of the people to elect a (Lwernor at the next ge neral election, immediately arose ; and I maintained the ri&hts of the people to a new election. Tjie consequence was, so great a degree of hostility between the Acting Governor and myself that we did not exchange words during more than three of the last years of his administration. No man knows the hostile relations which existed between Acting Governor Slaugh ter and tnyself better than Robert Wick lifFe! At the gubernatorial election in 1320, the candidates were Gen. John Adair, Wm. Logan, Esq., Gen. Joseph Desha, and Col. Anthony Butler. Butler was my first choice, Logan my second, and Adair my l a s t . M y p a p e r w a s the chief organ of opposition to Gen. Adair, and yet he was elected. The hostile feelings gene rated in }he contest were so strong that it was two or three years before the Gover nor and myself exchanged common civili ties, and never did lie consult rue upon anv public measure or political movement carry Amps’ refief laws into execution.— Here the people rebuked the minion, bis Governor, and I hi From these facts you will perceive, that tered Banning and o f his own son upon rnton, his instead of being the author o f the Kentucky head, he resqmes that course of false . ° w'hole party, by re- relief measures, as AIiv WicklifFe now a s - ! and ferocious denunciation, .which prd; pealing their reforming law and restoring , serts, I was their active opponent as long duced the murder of some of the best men the old court. The next and the dying ef- J as there was merit in opposition. Out oif *n Kentucky, and came near plunging that °r i'n was 10 persuade the what, you will ask, is the tale of Mr. ! State into the horrors o f a civil war, peop e of the State to repeal their consti ; WicklifFe manufactured ?

The following extract embraces the pith ofhis production on that point, viz. : “ When Arnos Kendall became Gover nor de facto of Kentucky, public credit was high, and the people were never more prosperous^ the State had su.s ained her I character ancl faith in contracts untarwish- j ed, her bank paper was equal to gold a. cl F I R E IN S U R A N C E .

State with paper sufficient to meet the de mands of himself and partisans. ^ This accomplished, in two short years, this de magogue ond his partisans reduced the la bor and credit of the State to utter prostra tion. The whole departments of labor WPre visited with a wide spread ruin ; the banks bankrupted, and the rfieans of Pay\ ing debts destroyed. Amos’s relief tor alf theso mischiefs brought upon the coun try, was an open violation of public -ut by a repeal ofthe charters ofall the banks in existence—those that y re* tacks on the Bank of Kentucky, not be cause “ her bank paper was equal to gold and silver, ’ as INT*. 1 Wicklifie now asserts, but because, having suspended specie pay ments during the war, and her notes be ing at a heavy discount, she was not, in my opinion, doing all in her power to re sume payment. When she resumed, my opposition to her ceased, and my partner in business, YViliiam Gerard, Esq., was for some years a director of that bank. It was the Bank of the United States , and not the Relief party, which destroyed the Bank of Kentucky, by forcing her to a second suspension of spicie payments.— The branches ofthe former bank in Ken tucky were instructed to collect the spe cie of the West, and remit it to the East, as a means of saving from ruin the princi pal bank, then reeling to its fall from the effects of gross mismanagement. The notes of the Bank of Kentucky were col lected by the branches and sent back upon her so rapidly, that, after manfully strug gling for a lew months, and even bringing from the East several hundred thousand dollars of specie at a great expense, she was compelled to succumb to her inexo rable foe, and close her doors. From this blow she never recovered. Yet Mr. W ick lifFe, tiffin knows all this, and who has himself always denounced the Bank of Ken tucky as an unconstitutional b;'nk, now lauds that institution, and charges its ruin upon me ! The first act of his party,” says Mr. WJckiiflo, “ was in 1817-1S to destroy the Bank of Kentucky, and to grant char ters to forty odd spurious banks,” &c. In stead of being supported, u these forty odd spurious banks” were aj strongly con demned by me as they ever were by Mr. WicklifFe. It was a project suddenly started in the Legislature, and carried through, not by corruption, but by assidu ous manajjement and the delusive prospect that these banks would enhance the value, of property, and ‘sustain industry,’ where- ever they should be located, [low far this project was intended to destroy tlie Bank of Kentucky, may be inferred from the fact, that the notes of lhat bank were made equivalent to specie, as a capital for these new banks, which vvere autho rized to commence operations as soon as a certain portion oftheir capital should bn paid in notes of the Bank oj Kentucky or specie ! The people of the State, how ever. who thought tbeir interests ouuht to have been more consulted in so important a matter, rose up tigrinst this monstrous abuse of legislative power, and returned to the legislature an overwhelming majority of members pledged to abolish the whole illegitimate brood of “ spurious banks.” Here Mr. WicklifFe and myself differed.— He believed that the people had no n me. dy ; that ihey h id nothing to do but to submit to a system which had been im posed upon them without their consent and contrary to their will, however fatal.might be its effects ; and he now denounces the abrogation of these “ spurious banks” as a “ breach of failh and the consiituliorl.” On the contrary, I believed that the reme dy remained in the hands of the people; that their legislature could not, whether their motives were founded in error or corruption, place the dearest, interests of the people, the value of th'dr property, their civil relations and their political rights, at the mercy of forty two petty cor porations, whose sole motive was the in terest of the stockholders, and whose sole object was speculation and gain. 1 there fore considered tho act of the legislature which swept them ali out of existence a constitutional display of popular power, as just as it was signal. “ His next proscription for relief against his own acts or evils brought upon the country,” suys Mr. Wicklifie, “ was pro perty and replevin laws.” The character of this assertion may be known by refer ence to the editorial columns ofthe Frank fort Argus during the period when the cry of relief was resounding through Ken tucky. They will be found filled with es says against both *• property and replevin laws wiih statistics to show that such laws w..u!d in the end ba more ruinous to They discovered that the Bank of the Commonwealth was a violation of that provision ofthe Constitution which forbids tho States to issue bills of credit : and thal the replevin laws, whi.b, for varying terms, were in Virginia older than th? way: to defend it. Determined not to assault) but always ready io repel, I have met in fhe street, after one ofhis fiendish tirades, the man who now assails me from afarj and seen his eye tremble, arid wander, and fall— the unerring evidence of a gniltv conscience or a coward heart. Through all those exciting scenes, and ever since 1 have endeavored so to perform m37 various duties in public and in private life, as tq leave this persecuting spirit without apology or pretext, relying upon the justice of my. country to shield me fiom harm. Thus far Constitution, violated that clause which j * *mve not Decn disappointed. You knowj the Passage of any j ®j.r’ that inst«ad of heing “ driven from law impairing the obiigatiou'of contract'. Judges were found to espouse the new doctrines, and a controversy finally ar«So between the Legislature and the Court of Appeals.- In these questions I maintained me constitutionality ot those acts whose policy I had condemned, and became, in the representations o f malevolence ;wid thi* view of ignorance, identified with the ad vocates of the relief system. Mr. Wick lifFe has not the plea of “ ig n o r a n c e ” to screen him in tbe gross imposition he has attempted upon the American people. The constitutionality of the relief laws is the only principle embraced in them of which 1 was ever the advocate. As to the constitutionality of t.ie Commonwealth’s Bank, 1 have lived to see my opinion con fir.ued by the Suprene Court of the U. S. ; and I have no doubt the constitu tionality of the replevin laws will be affirmed by the same tribunal, whenever the question “hall be fairly presented and fully consi dered. ^ 1 his course of personal denunciation, without regard to decency or truth, was in- 1 troduced into the politics of Kentucky, by Mr. WicklifFe and his friends, dm ing the controveisy between tho old and the new courts in 1825. The siience which Mr. vVicklifl’e has observed for some years, led me 10 suppose that the serious consequen ces which had flowed from it, and the aw ful retribution which had overtaken him, had taught him some regard for the sa’ credness ol truth and the decencies of ci vilized life. 1 shall content myself wi h a single illustration ofthis rernaik. Late in 1S24, a son of Governor Desha was charged with the murder of Baker, and arrested, lie applied to the Legisla- tuie at the next session for a change of venue, on the ground that he could not have a lair trial in the county where the offence was charged to have been commit, ted. Although the granting of such a re- quest was always a matter of course in Kentucky, Robert Wickliffe, when the bill was at its last reading, took occasion to pronounce a studied pbillipic against it, in which, without a shadow of reason or truth, he charged the unhappy father with con spiracy and corruption to screen his son from punishment. Nor did he cease pur suing the object of his hatred wiih those imputations, in public and in private, during the whole course ofhis administration. lh e situation of Governor Desha, than whom no State ever had a more honest Chief Magistrate, was such as to ex r i t e the sympathy of every feeling heart. The son was charged, and finally twice coil victed of murder ; the father held the par doning power, and believed him innocent. There were circumstances which justified a father in so believing. A f ter the son had been a second time convicted, arid a new trial a second time granted, the whole ol the second jury, as I understood, and a part ot the first, petitioned for his pardon. The first conversation I ever had with the Governor upon the subject, was introduced by him witn a statement of these facts. He proceeded to say that his son had sent for him to the prison—had prob'nted his innocence in the strongest terms—had declared his unalterable purpose not to live, unless he was acquitted by ajury— aod had told him that if he sent him a pardon, he would the next hour putari end to his ex istence. It was found impossible to pro cure a tnird unbiassed jury, and the wretched man remained in jail from term to term. Finally, on lhat day of horrors, when Beauchamp was executed for the murder of Col. (Sharp, afier the suicide of his wite, and his own unsuccessful at tempt, young Desha cut his throat with a razor, severing the windpipe quite in two. In that awful moment, when he believed himself entering into eternity, he beckoned for pe.i and ink, and w'rote a solemn pro the debtor than to the creditor, and were , testation of his innocence, while bis life in every way repugnant to the best inte rests of the peofile. W lule this man and his associ-ites were either swelling the cry of relief, or standing with their arms fold ed afraid to breast the approaching storm, resolutely and almost Gone, I cornbatted the popular delusion, and at the hazard of j but a monster would hunt him down for so blood w a s stream i n g upon the paper. I saw it afterw a r d s in tbe han d s of his fa ther, so besmeared with blood as to be scarcely legible. A father , und«r such circumstances, had a right to believe his son innocent. None Kentucky by public indignation,” as Mr, Wickliffe now asserts, I left the State in triumph. I left it as the nearer to Wash ington of tlie trophies of victory, the voles ° f Kentucky for General Jackson. A iter my departure the Legislature re^ stored to me the office of Public Printer (or the State, which Mr. Wickliffe and his associates had taken away, and I was pre vented from enj .ymg it only by tho offer ot a more acceptable employment in Washington. Mr. Wickliffe’s narrative of tny life in this city, though equally destitute of truth, needs no comment from me. If from ita manner it were calculated to produce ef fect, it would still be rendered harmless by the great number of honorable men of all parties scattered through the Union, wiio know and are ready to denounce its groundlessness- and injustice. Pei haps 1 ought not to complain of this and other ceaseless denunciations which are heaped upon me. To the contrast with the whole tenor of my life which they presen’, may doubtless be ascribed, more than to any unusual merit or talents of my own, the elevation I now hold and whatever of standing I possess in the es timation of the American people. To Providence and my countrymen, J trust I shall never cease to be grateful for thus far overruling to my own good, the male volence of my enemies. I have a right to expect that not only you, but all llie managers of the public press who have given circulation to Mr, Wickliffe’s address, will do me the justice to publish this explanation. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, AMOS K E N D A L L . Washington, June 8. 1837. T H E VILLAGE CLOCK — a n I l l u s t r a t i o n . 'l he town of Quakersville—a retired and busy village reposing among the hills far from the hustle of the city— was l.ong celebrated for having the Best town clock within a circuit of a hiindied miles. If kept most admirable time— never varying a hair from the true. Pi iced upon the old meeting house that stood high upon an eminence, it overlook ed the surrounding country, and iti» weatherbeaten face could be distinctly seen in ever}7 direction and at every point of the extended village— by the luwy artizans at work in the valley— the schoolmistress and shop-keeper upon tlie plain— by the farmer at the plough in the distant field, and the farmer’s wife within d >ois “ upon household cares intent”— in a word, every inhabitant of Quakersville, whether at the North, South, East or West, by merely giving a glance at the old clock, always knew the exact time to commence or to leave off bis work, to eat his meals, call upon his neighbors, or take his various articles to market for sale. With such an excellent clock* very few watches were necessary. A number of trie more wealthy inhabitants, having frequent occasion to be from home, had good old silver watches, which be ing regulated hy the old regulator upon the Meeting [louse, kept most excellent time, but not 2 dozen of them could be found in the whole village. ’Business ol every kind was done with wonderful uniformity and regularity, and “ Qun- kersvple time” became quite a popular phi ase abroad to denote business punctu ality. In this slate of things a little pedler, a sort of Tinker of watches, and Exper imenter upon clocks, made his appear ance among the people of Quakersville, and announped that the old town clock did not furnish the tiue time ! In proof of this he pulled out a little gold watch of his own, which was fifteen minutes faster. The time furnished by his own watch was, he said, uniform and correct, never varying, and as the old clock was always fifteen minutes too slow7, he was for ha ving the people buy a lot o f his watch es, and discard the clock ! This was not listened to for a moment. Finally the tinkering pedler went up to the clock to set it forward, as he said.

Its paternity has always been ascribed to a gentleman who has been for many years a political coadjutor of Mr. Wickliffe.
