Recently he has greatly extended his seal

Recently he has greatly extended hls scale
OF operations, and by extra eXertions at heavy
eXpense--tunnng expresses and employing
shoals of reporters-he has impaired greater in
terest to the Herald in early news, copous for
cign extracts, congressional reports, and most
important of all, by the employment of person
of capacity to make up articles on the money
market, and here is thesecret of new and most
profitable part of the "sand and dclirer'' system
Bennett, it is known, Is opposed to Bank of
the United States, not from psinciple, because
that is an article he does not deal in-but from
being paid by various institutions and specific
interests opposed to the creation of a National
Bank, and his money article is shaped uniformly
and adapted to carry out his sordd views.
1t is supposed that Bennett is receiving an
nual contributions, TO heavy amount, from
banks and associations in this state and various
states throughout the Union, in order that their
| credit may not be impaired nor their interests
jeoparded, by being gazetted in the Herald as
concerns to be watched or guarded against by
the public. We have thus the secret of his
wealth. lie uses the Herald, as we have al
ready said as the Brgand uses his rihe-ceans
it carefully, loads it cautiously, poises it over
rock to select his victim, and brings down the
unwary passenger with certainty. He lives by
depreda'ing upon the community, and growing
| arrogant on his ill-Gotten wealth, he abuses and
vllliies every thing that stands in his way. Our
trade, our national credit and national name, as
well as domestic concerns and things held sacred
| from the public eye, are daily, openly, shame
| fully the subjects of Infamous remark in the
columns.of the Herald.
The only redeeming circumstance and con-
ISOLATION in all this succession of wrongs is in the
fact that neither Bennett nor Attree are AME-
EIcANs-our country has not the disgrace of
| having given them birth.
| The immediate cause of Benefits indictment
by the grand jury was for publishing false re-
ports OF the proceedings of the Court of Sessions,
and unmcasured abuse of Judges Lynch and
Noah, besides endeavoring TO hold up the court
and jury to public contempt, and to bring the adj
ministration of justice into disrepute. Judge
Lynch, a gentleman of education and character,
of mild and conciliatory manners, devoted to the
discharge OF his public duties, and sustaining his
position with ability and dignity, was every way
undeservng OF these attacks. Judge Noah was
not quite So sensitive to such outbreaks--he
knew Bennett well, and kicked him out of court
without any ceremony. Noah is the very last
parsonage in this community that Bennett car
commit an outrage upon with impunty
Justice in some shape, light as it may be, vii
now overtake the lbeler, and, if followed uI
firmly whenever proper occasion may present
lseIt, Bennett and Attree will be taught tC
know that they live in a country of laws. Had
they practlsed the same tricks on the courts o
their own countries, Bennett would have beer
clappcd in the Tolbooth and Attree in the Or
Bailey, forthwith.
Bennett treats the matter lightly--pubishe:
the indictments, the record Of his own shame
and promises himself much sport in the result
lie may find himself mistaken. 1t is fearful
odds for single man 10 make war on the bench
the bar, the laws, and the administration O
Justice; to stand up, without warrant or cause
against indictments, trials, prisons, bolts an,
bars. Goblet, the most powerful writer of thu
age in which he lived, made similar attacks OF
Judge Mckeen of Pennsylvania. lie rdcule,
him in every way; charged him with not bcin!
able to hold court in consequence of his VII,
. giving him black eye with tin sauce pam all,
made other shameful assaults upon him. The
Judge, considering these as repeated outrage
on the majesty OF the people, whose minister he
was, took Goblet in hand in civil and crimina
suits, and finally drove him out of the country
such may he Benefits fate, sooner or later
