The North-Carolina standard., 1843-10-18
From the Register Of IO,h October.


SIR-I observe in the Standard of this morning. the
following remarks Of anonymous Correspondent, but
endorsed by the Editor himself concerning the political
faith of one whose name has been lately frequently
before the public allude to James B. Shepard,
Esq. After alludng to MIR. Shcpards appointment as
Chairman Of a Central Committee, and the opposition
which some OF The Loco Foco party had urged against
him, in consequence OF his Multiplying principles o.
the writer remarks this slang about MIR. Shcpard's
being Nullifer is that which the Wings eternally
belChing out against him, of having been Whig.
They both uLse charges Mr.. Editor Mr.. Shepard
has been inudria6y opposed to both Whiggey and Null
fcaton; and DEFY any man to prove to the contra
ry
Now, sir it is by surprising that the Editor
of the Standard should make of expressions like hs
That he (hlr ShePard) is not now, and never has been
either Wing NullIher; for prepared to hear
any thing however; false and sanderous from the
egade who 'beched forth sofur usly in 1910, against
the very and measures he so meany truckles
10 advocate and defend. But, sir that any one else
who makes the smallest pretenson 10 truth candor
Il Will OF course except those Sin consImI casu')
should make such asSertion is 10 be accounted for
only b. the usual custom OF party which takes asser-
ton for facts, and boldly alsehoods for well
established truths. The truth is sir MI Shepard
has denied, and ddreS not openly deny that he acdS
Whig (f any confidence be placed in his OF repeat
ed assertonS) up the time that his brother, the Hon
Charles Shepard so basely BETRAYED the confidence re-
posed In him by devoted Wing friends, in 1887 Aye,
sir he cannot deny that he of those who ridi
cued and severely censured the worthy Charles for his
sudden and then unaccounabe somerset-and rendered
his mothers house INToLERABLE, by continual taunts
at his (Charles new acquired friendship for the then
Editor of the Standard repeat, sir that Mr.. Shepard
dares not deny these facis which his own conscience O
convnces him undeniable, because sir, he kHOLCS
that the writer of this communication speaks from per-
k0ovledge and bring forward proof the most
ncontcsble, 10 subsantate every word oft Because,
sir he knows, may know, that he has been intimately
known to me for many previous removal from
Newbern to his present residence, when every opportu
nifty desirable to learn his political sentiments,
hesatingy and frequently turnshed-when ''whggery"
had not. nor wished more Jealous advocate than she
possessed in the person of the celebrated young Senator
OF Wake, Poet Laureate, &c &c. &c.
But, sir,I desist, and really you apology for
having devoted so much of your liable paper such
''smal fry The fact is, when l see men who have
proved utterly reckless of their professions the
boVe mentioned gentlemen, either thruStng themselves
being thrust into public notice for spoIls and office
cannot remain perfectly passive and refrain from expo
sing The imposition and showing them in their proper
colors. ':Et nunc. de lis animalibus, liam sas!''
am, very respectfully, your ob't serv't
VERITAS.
