We are led to these remarks, from the attack made by the Courier of the 30th ult., on Chancellor Kent. After acknowledging, for even the Courier was not shameless enough to refuse the acknowledgement, that none were more honored, beloved, and respected, it openly charges him with want of "consistency" and "honor," and of being before the public in the "quadruple attitude of opposing and support THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER AND ing a high tariff, and of supporting and opposing anti-masonry."
