The above contains news, to US. We heard Ofno
such charges against Mr.. Shepard. Such excuses
for his overwhelming defeat, will not answer. Does
it follow, because a man goes "about in carriage
and horses with driver" that he is an arstocrat?
Does the Editor of the Star-or the person who
wrote the above-think so little as that comes to- of
he popular intelligence? Why, the poorest man,
almost, can muster up dollar or two; and for
hat dollar or two he ride in the grandes
'age ever but-the steam carriage-to Franklin
on, to Smithfield, or to Hillsborough.
Speaking of preventing people from voting who
;annot read and write, we may as we'll refer to Mr.
Shepard's brother Know Nothings of Connecticut
Who have taken the first steps to alter the Constitu
ion of that State with the very object in view re-
erred to. The K. Ms of Connecticut are deter
mined, if they effect it, to prevent any in
hat State from voting who cannot read and write
hough both in that State and in Massachusetts they
'ermit free negroes to vote.
Probably it was this action of the Connecticut
Know Nothings which gave rise to the charge against
1r. Shepard We are free to confess, however, that
re do not believe Mr.. Shepard entertains any such
Jews; nor do we believe he is in favor of taking
way the poor mans privilege" of drinking "whis-
ey or rum" We would respectfully suggest how
yer, to our extremely interesting contemporary Of
he Star that the whiskey and rum should always
e-when intended for K. N. palates-of natioo
manufacture.
