TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL

" I will be crue

TANDARD,

Having
press"

loticed the various ravings of some of the
gainst those conservative_candidates whom

they ar

are thereby in-

vulnerable to their miserable mode of attack—it is true that
" ridicule" is a game two can play at, yet I was somewhat
amused at the last notice upon " Mr. Sheppard" in the
" small beer Chronicle," alias " the largest Saturday's
paper," signed " Paddy from Cork." Of course it is not
easy to guess who this tinsel " Paddy" is, or whether his
mother was a washerwoman, and sold buttermilk near the

old custom-house. A cert- &kale, methinks, would beal
curiosity. And although Mr. Sheppard is not a " profes-
sional quack,!' like some of the Park candidates, he has cer-
tainly proved himself a tartar to the well-known " Eady and
Solomons" who compose the small fry of Toxteth radicals,
and doubtless on the " 2nd Nov.' will be one of those re-
turned to the Council that will prove an additional thorn in
in the sides of old " Vinegar-hill Fanny," the market
Goliath, and " little Billy," the parish " quack."—Waiting
your attention, I am, sir, your constant reader,

WHIG-RADICAL FALSEHOOD

TO THE ELECTORS OF CASTLE

TREET WARD

GENTLEM EN,—I have heard this day that one of the can-
vassers of my opponent has asserted publicly in the course
of his canvas, that on some occasion I have pledged myself
to him that I would abstain from offering any opposition to
Mr. James Aiken, in the event of his coming forward as a
candidate for your suffrages.

I trust that' those amongst you, who are acquainted with
those principles of truth which have guided my past conduct
through life, will believe that, had I made any such pledge,
that pledge I would religiously adhere to. So far, however,
have I been from giving such a pledge, that although de-
sirous of continuing in my present private capacity, and not
havinc, sought the honour which you propose conferring upon
me, Ibhave never contemplated withdrawing myself from the
hands of my friends, so long as I could flatter myself that
my humble services would benefit my fellow-townsmen, and
advance the success of those principles which arc so dear to
us all. I remain, gentlemen,
Your obliged and faithful servant,
PETER HOPE.
[We may add, that we are acquainted with the name of
the gentleman (?) with whom this infamous slander has ori-
ginated, and would warn him to be a little circumspect in
his assertions. The cause must indeed be weak which re-

quires the aid of falshood to bolster it up ; and we are cre-
dibly informed that such conduct as the above isnot confined
to the radicals of Castle-street Ward.—En. L. S.

A. WORD IN SEASON TO THE CONSERVATIVE

TO ME EDIT

ELECTORS

OF THE LIVERPOOL

TANDARD,

SIR,—A rather dangerous feeling seems greatly prevalent
among many good conservatives relative to the result of the
approaching municipal election. Though the idea is not
very general, (that we are certain of a triumph,) it is held by
a numerous portion of our friends to a dangerous extent ;
who, considering the battle won before 'tis fought, may, in
over security, not consider their presence in the field neces-
sary, and by bad generalship may be defeated by an inferior

Let me intreat our conservative friends to remember,
that every man should do his duty—and doing this, we must
triumph. Our enemy is wily and cunning, and will take any
mean advantage in his power; he is not to be trifled with,
and we must crush him, as well by the superior justice of our
cause, as by our superior unanimity of heart, and by the
general feeling in every conservative's bosom, that on him-
self depends a portion of success.
Let us not be caught sleeping at our posts. Much de-
pends upon our personal activity and influence, and, if exer-
cised in the way that conservatives can, if they will, a glo-
rious victory will be the result. We have the power. Let
us not by consciousness of its possession neglect to use it.
Much depends upon our success; and it is of great moment,
at present, that we should show a bold and determined front
against the further advance of radical-social levelling princi-
ples in this town. Let us " forward" and do our duty, and
that which we owe to ourselves and our country shall be
well repaid.—Dear Mr. Editor, I shall remain.
