how utterly detestsble Is the who from mo-
tives Of ohagIin or private hate will make war upon the
reputation OF female and at the time abuse the
press by misleading it to such q cause.
Very little comment is required from us on the
above exposition of the origin and cause of the
libel published IN Ned BMntine's O,om, or on any of
the persons connected with the affair. Judson and
his principal associates furnish sufficient explana-
nation and repentance for the course they have
pursued. The ingenious malice of the fellow
Norton, and the way In which he imposed his
shocking falsehoods on Judson and the press, are,
however, only part OF the same game which has
been carried on towards Mr.. Bennett, the propre-
tor Of the Herald, and his family connections, by
certain portion of the newspaper press in this CITY,
for nine years last past.
Let us explain. For the last eight or nme years,
certain portion of the conductors of the press of
this city, out of mere jealousy at the success of
MIR. Benefits enterprise, and unable to find any
thing his private life to assai have uttered their
malicious ard atrocious libels on Mrs. Bennett
and her family connections, IN every variety of
way. The origin Of this system of satanic literary
enterprise IN the columns of the newspaper press,

known as M. M. Noah, who formerly broke down
in several newspapers, and who now enjoys a
slnecure Office in the Custom House, secretly
given to him by Mr.. Maxwell, the present Collec-
tor, without the knowledge or the consent of
the President of the United States, whose high
moral tone would revolt at such an act
The same system to reach Mr.. Bennett, by at
tacks on his wife and family, was adopted by
Moses Y. Beach, VINO is well known for his
financial rascalltes, for the last few years. In this
community. He was indicted, convicted, and too
lenently punished for the offence; but he, and
of his associates, entirely escaped for their
lmpositions of their Plainiield Bank paper on the
community
Mr.. Bennett, together with Mrs. Bennett, his
wife, and family, have despised all those modes
of assaulung their private character and reputa-
ton; and have never, for one instant, turned from
their high and honorable purposes, on account Of
| the aggregated meanness and malevolence which
have been used against them for the last few years
They are independent, fearless, resoute, in their
own honorable principles and purposes, and they
despse their slanderers and their attacks.
Lattery, this game of meanness and malsvo-
lence has been somewhat modified, as appears by
the exposition of the course of Norton, as made in
| the columns of the journals from which we have
just quoted. Norton, the lawyer, 1t seems, is the
principal scoundrel in this latter phase of malevo-
lence, and the unfortunate and unhappy Judson
the melancholy dupe But justice will yet be done !;
and with this exposition, and these few remarks,
we leave the whole affair to an honorable court,
| heightened community, and just public opinion.
Mr. Bennett, proprietor of this paper, Mrs. Bennett
| his wife, and all connected with his family UNDER
standing their position, and proud of their honorable
principles, desplse all such attacks, come from
what quarter they may, and will live them down,
and their authors crushed to the Just level of
their malevolence. Norton, the lawyer, is, we
believe, the of the chief nancier, or President
of the Morris State Bank, and the N. J. Protection
Insurance Company, which have both just exploded,
cheating the community to very large amount
| A hopeful son Of hope ful sire.
