Full Text

The Kentucky Reporter continues to beard Amos Kendall with having committed Perjury before the Senate of Kentucky, and dares him to meet the charge in a Court of Justice, but Amos sneaks off by saying he will not trust a Fayette Coun'ty Jury.

It is due to ourselves to state, says the Reporter, that we renewed the charge against Mr. Kendall, which had been often made without any serious attempt on his part to meet it, in no spirit of wanton malice. By his repetition of his outrageous libels upon Mr. Clay, and utter want of regard for the feelings and characters of others which he has recently as heretofore displayed, he has divested himself of all claims to courtesy or forbearance.
