MIR. RIDDLES MAN BENNETT.

The notable Bennett famous rs the subsidized editor
of the Bank who bought his way into the
and was expelled from the discovery of his t:eache
nv, is now engaged in working little paper IN ~ YORK
for the benefit Of Bddle and his brother brokers' From
his last Herald among the tabIcatons Tor the STOCK mar
ket we find the following:
/" Mr.. Biddle has been at Washington. He has made
great and beneficial arrangement with the GoVernnen
respecting the stock of the old bank, &c, DC. The Go
yernent contrary to Its curslng and swearing mas palo
the whole claim for damages the famous bill OF ex
change that the French Government returned protested
On the strength Of these arrangements, the u s Bank
has made half yearly dividend OF per cent former
" the old bank seldom went beyond l-2 This, with
the bonus that was paid, is considered prodgious.'
Not one syllable of the above is true, except the state
ment that "A1r Biddle has been at Washington
So far from any arrangement having been entered IN
to respecting the stock of the old bank understand
that there has not been propasa verbal or writ
ten from the Bank of the United States, in which the
Government owns Millions of stock, TO pay any
part Of that stuck, in any way or at any tInc.
Whatever NAV have been the object OF Mr. Biddle S
visit here or whatever his communications, it must be-
obvious that the Government has nothing more TO do
with him as he has ceased since the Sd OF March last 10
have anv cunnexion with the bank in wRlch the United
States are concerned
AS for the statement that the Government 'has paid
the whole claim for damages the famous bill OF ex
change that the French Government returned protested
il is not only utterly false but is not likely ever to be-
come true. 1t is true that Bidde seized on the sum which
he claimed for damages and has converted 10 his own
purposes or that ohs bank he has done the notes
Of the old bank but neither of these frauds have met the
sanction of the Government, and never will
One Of the first demands made OF Mr. Biddlc, we doubt
not will be for the restoration of the puroned damages
and the maxim good TO the United States Treasury the
whole amount Of the population committed its funds
in virtue of the illegal order of the board, placing the
money Of the nation nj the disposal OF Bdd!e Tor cleo
tioneerng purposes. 9or this trust, Bdde and his
confederates will be held TO account before court
tice.-D

eight or ten Of CunninGh am pamphlets. lie says: 6

Our correspondent will not be surprised 10 learn, that
the Honorable John Bell, Of his conf-deraes,
took the hint we gave in the Globe, when publishing
Cunning prospectus The author has been bought
off, or his publication bought up They have done JUS

HARRISBURG CHRoSCLE.-ThlS print bought
from its editor, "a friend Of the Administration msnc.
datey after Burden, Penrose asd the other Democratic
Senators who sold themselves to Bddle had succeeded
in carrying the bank charter. The new editey bound
himself by bond to support the and measures pre-
vously advocated il the print; and in compliance with
the contract he keeps Van Buren, and Johnson in CAPT
tails, at the head Of his columns Under this mask he
pours out the bitteres depuncations against Mr. Van
Burens friends, whom he calls 'ke Ee,o ToF jac!ion;
against the Democratic party, which he sgmatEes as
"ke nneiean herd srhch toio,c in the train Of c Nt'o
York ea6ai against the deposite banks, which a'c;Is
e monster league Of Janks' against the Albany Argus
Richmond Enquirer and Globe, which caSsed to-
gethes ihc Kennel press" This is the way the honest
organ, purchased by Bidde, supports Mr. Van Buren,;
and the Richmond Wing, tie Telegraph, and other fede
raj prints quote all its abuse Of the Administration and
ats friends as the honest expression of opinion Of true
supporter of the Presdent-of Van Buren, and Johnson,
whose colors it bears
What an aspect do these simple facts give to the par
y opposed TO oar cause The bankcorruptng Senators
pretending 10 oetray their constituentshe Senator'S
with the bank 8 money, buying paper, and covenant
.Dg that II should support which it was the OBJ
ject of the purchase to be,ray the other organs of
the enemy quoting the articles of the purchased PRINT
bearing false colors, rs the admissions of an :bones
Van Buren, and Johnson advocate !" The Federal nartv
have always considered The great body of the people
fools and knares, and in acting on this idea have shown
themselves to be the knaves and fools.-Jj
We can readers residing in other States
that apprehension need be entertained BY them con
corning the result of the approaching elections in North
Carolina This State is snund aud will certainly
give triumphant aorilies TO Speght and Van Buren,:
the assertions of the Federal Wing papers the
ry notwithstanding. We are not accustomed TO hold on,
elusive hopes to political friends who look to this
paper for correct iniornatoD; and therefore make
the above assertions with the utmost confidence ia their
truth-.fcacLera Sentinel.
