we Were surprised, on last Sunday morning b.

storm had ceased. The latter part of the day was i
and windy, and the night very cold.
KILLING FRosT. Monday morning arose. on
scene far serious in its effects: 4 heavy Whit
frost, equal to those of December morning, covered
the ground ;and almost every thing that could fpep
was completely stifened. The Fruit of every de-
scription has perished apples, peaches, cherries
plumbs. grapes &C., all killed; and in the gardens
the beans, squashes, potatoes, early corn cucumbeR
&C., cut down and the leaves of many of the forest
trees are now rattlng in the breeze like so many blu

MEssRs. SHEPARD AND BADGER.


A late number of the Register contains the reply
of the Hon. William B. Shepard to a communication
of Mr.. Stanly of previous date; and we must say,
without Intending to take part in very interesting
family difficulty, that Mr.. Shepard has exposed Mr..
Badger in his true colors to the people Of North
Caroina. He shows that it was impossible for that
Senator to be satisfied with any mode Of settling the
Slavery question; that he was equally opposed to
Mr.. Clayton's Compromise bill and to Mr.. Walkers
amendment at the recent session and that though he
himself had intimated in debate that he could point
out very just and equitable mode which would save
the honor of all the parties to this agatng question:,
yet he had never done so. He further shows that
Mr. Badger is a Southern man with Northern Prin-
cpes and that upon this question of Slavery in the
Territories he has grossly and Palpaby misrePresen-
ted the opinions Of the people of the State.
In publishing this Communication from Mr.. She
par the Register is very careful to "rePudate and
disavow any coincidence Of spirit sentiment" with
that gentleman. Of course. Mr. Badger must be
sustained, right or wrong, /" though the Heavens
should fall"
We shall publish Mr.. Shepard's letter in our next
and in the mean time we would suggest to our read
efs the importance Of laying it aside for future refer
ence. 1t contains the testimony of a distinguished
Wing, and that too Of the most pointed and conclu-
sive nature, as to the radical unsoundness Of Mr..
Badger on this question; and Of course those who
sustained him for the Office of Senator, " as deep
in the mud as he is in the mire. "

The Rutherfordton Banner, Whig paper, is pub
fishing series of articles by Pinebur Moccasin,
dated IS MoccasonviIle, N. c." on the subject of
Equal Suffrage. We have been struck with their
good hard sense, - and copy the following as
specimen. Speaking of Whig "opposishun " to
Equal Suffrage {. Pinebur" says:
IS Perhaps, Mr.. Printer, sum of these opposishun
ex-members may be inclined to dispute that majority
Well, Ili tell you what Judge by, and leave them
to tell you what they draw their conclushuns from
f they can.
First, the result Of the last Gov'ner's election
proves it. North Carliner gives at least 5000 Wing
uaiority in general. The Democratic candidate ad-
yocated the 'nendment and the Whig candidate op-
posed it and what was the resuitl Why the Whig
candidate barely squeezed in by the little, ptia

This shows that when party begins to oppose con-
stitnshunal reform it goes down hill. But this
wasn't party opposshun stricly speakin'. The Whig
party 20 for the reform strong the Dimlcratlc

Wing party and the State for years, opposed IT. and
made the candidate they selected oppose it, and they
cum nifty nigh gittin' thar deserts by IT. Any men
that would oppose sich measure deserve to lose in
uence, and any party that will be ruled by them de-
serves defeat"
"Pinebur" says the g Whigparty go for this reform

Of that Did not the Register and most of the Whig
organs denounce it as humbug and as Agrarianisml
