Mr.. Bennett, late editor Of the Pennsylvania
continues his revelations concerning the Hitch
en- Cabinet. We gave an account, YESTERDAY
of his No. 9. The Pennsylvania Inquirer con.
tains No. 8. In it is a letter from Kendall 10
him. relative to some of his editorial articles
In this letter Kendall says:
"Do not misunderstood me. do not blame
ann What mysterious channel of commune
ton exists between the Treasury and the Bank
know not; but sure it is, that the Directors OF
the United States Bank knoW 1rhat IS pQSSing
in that Department better than the PreSideac
Does DO not think suspect the .Secretdry-
Though very wrong in some Of his opinions,
and fear too timid for the times, believe hin.
to be an honest and honorable man." &c.
Mr.. Duane, be it remembered, was then Sec
retary Of the Treasury. Mr. Bennett well think
of the character Shakespeare has drawn:
Lago. For Michael Cassie
dare be sworn, think that he is homes,
OheUo ! think so too.
Iago Men should be what they seem.
Or those that be not, would they might seem
Oheuo. Certain, men should be whottbey
seem.
Eago. Why then think Cassio's an honest
man.
The parallel IS obvious.
Mr.. Bennett also gives an account Of various
meetings Of the leaders whilst Kendall was IN
Philadelphia
"Mr Whitney managed in these converse
tons the department Of the Finances and cur
rency-and Mr.. Kendall the question Of power
as regarded the President, Secretary, and the
approaching Congress- Mr.. Kendall showed
the propriety Of the removal taking place be-
fore the meeting of Congress, for the purpose 0.
interposing the Presidents veto to prevent Their
restoration. If, said he, the measure should Dr.
left to Congress, it might be impossible 70
achieve it; but by removing the money now,
we have the veto power in our possession
Whitney joined in these opinions, and stated
that the members of Congress would not dare
to oppose the old hero after he had taken The
first step. Another of the conspirators told me-
speaking Of the President in relation to the de-
posites, all hell would not stop him. Whit
ney also showed how easy it would be for tie
government, when the depostes should be re.
moved, to break branch, either south or weSl
and thus make good case for Congress to ac
upon"
What will honorable men of all parties think
Of such band Of conspirators?
In the conclusion of his third number, ar
Bennett says:

when he departed to New York. In the cabin
of the boat, reclining on seat, he gave me
