Senators, Messrs. Walker and Nicholas, and repudiates the opinion, so long cherished by the party, of the infallibility of General Jackson, and has even conceded that "the pocketing of the Treasury circular bill, after its passage by such an overwhelming majority through both Houses of Congress. ,cas e gross act of usurpation." Jackson pre- scriptions are no longer palatable to "Old Rip," and Dr. Montgomery finds that he must adopt some other practice more rational and healthy. He must either abandon the de- structive policy of the party, or else the idea of representing any portion of the citizens of l the old North State.-Bah. Patriot.
