All this is excellent Whig doctrine, such as we

party and tho they permitted them TO lie in

they have never ceased TO feel their Justice and
their truth.
We have so good an opinion of the Chivalry
as TO believe that they do not merely concur with
the Wings in rcprobating the Jacksonian doctrine,
that violent partizanshp constitutes the best
qualification for office but they also concur with
the Wings in abhorring the dwelling and destruc-
tive tendencies of Locofocoism. To this effect, we
have often heard many of the prominent men of
that party declare themselves. There cannot pos
sibly be less sympathy between any set Of men in
this country, than must exist between the gentle
men of the Calhoun party in the South, and the
Butt Enders and Empire Clubs Of the Northern
cities. In principles, in feelings, in the ends to
be attained, and the means by which they are to
be attained, they are as wide the pole.
