THE HON. ISAAC HILL.

The National Intellgencer relieves the Hon.
Isaac Hill from the imputation Of being the cores
pendent of his own paper, the New Hampshire
Patriot, who recently propagated tho atrocious
SANDER upon Chief Justice Marshall and other
conspicuous persons of the Cove rnment, touching
the Georgia decision.
SO poorly off are the Republican Party in the
Senate for talent-for Tozewcll, Tyler, Haync,
Pondcxtcr, Moore and others, do not belong to the
Republican Porty-that the Hon. Isaac Hill seems
to be regarded as the Achilles of Jackson Van Blu.

Would any other have had the modesty to suppose,
that he had taken Webster 'to peces?" We do not
pretend to assert that the fact is So for we can
have no positive knowledge. We affirm however,
that the circumstances Of the case render it extreme

Isaac Hill, of New Hampshire? 1t is said here that
