MESSF(S. EDW ARDS AMI SdEIARD


The last Independent thus notices the Eomina-
ton of Mr.. Shepard and the withdrawal of Mr.
Edwards from public life. Dissenting as we do
entirely from Mr.. Loring's political notions, we
yet give the extracts for the eye OF the curious


"The Hon. WELDON N. EDWARDS has declined
the nomination for Governor, well as Senator
from the county of Warren. He may be consld-
cred to have closed his political career-and few
men ever retired from public life with more person
al friends among his political opponents, or with
more general esteem and respect from all parties.
He is man of fine talents and solid requirements
and far superior these and other respects to
many who have figured more largely in the public
eye. He is a democratic republican of the old
school; and his honesty in political matters has
often kept him IN the back ground, when the less
scrupuous have run far ahead of him." H..


"We see, by the last Standard, that JAMES B.
SHEPARD, Esq has been nominated by the Demo-
cratic State Committee, as the Democratic Candi-
date Tor Governor, and that he has accepted the,
nomination. For MIR. Shepard, personally, we
have the highest regard, and do not hesitate TO ex-
press the favorable opinion of his talents and
Of his high integrity and honor as gentleman.
But in the matter Of Governor Of the State he
must excuse US. Whenever he quits the jacobins,
we shall be glad to see him in high public station.
Till then we hope and believe he will remain in
private life, which he much adorns." 81.
