A STRIKING REL1c.-Mr E. B. Thomp-

A ASrR1K1NG REL1c.-Mr E. B. Thomp-
son, of this city, says the N. York Cour-
Ter of the 1lth inst, and now a compost
tor in the Office Of this paper, has in his
possession very interesting historical
relic-a small embroidered cambric pock.
ct handkerchief, which was used by
Charles I. upon the scaffold, and is stain
ed with his blood. 1t came originally
from John Fenwicke, who was Major Of
Cavalry in Cromwell's army, and in that
capacity was required to be present at
the execution Of the unhappy monarch
The relic passed from his family to that of
Jacob Lyell, whose wife emigrated to
New Jersey near the close of the l7h
century and was connected with the Fem
wicke family. She gave it to her daueh-
ters who kept it with the greatest care,
and at their death it passed into anoth-
er branch of the family, and has finally
come into possession of Mr. Thompson
Its authenticity seems to be clearly traced
and proved beyond doubt.
The handkerchief is of small size and
the figure Of the Scottish thistle is en-
broidered around the edges. Upon one
corner is very small figure of crown.
1t is thick!y stained with dark spots,
some of which are as large as a dollar
the others smaller. The linen is consid-
erably discolored by time-it seems to
have been ironed but not washed.

Patriotic.


The following we'll and patriotic senti-
ments were uttered by Henry Clay, the
great "Compromiser," in speech in the
U. S. Senate, in lS4l. They are worthy
Of emulation:
l cannot lay myself down in the way of
the welfare and happiness Of my country.
That cannot, l have not the courage to
do. l cannot interpose the power with
which | may be invested, power conferred
not for my personal benefit, nor my ag-
grandizement, but for my country's good,
to check her onward march to greatness
and glory. l have not courage enough-I
am too cowardly for that. l lwould not, l
dare not in the exercise of such trust, lie
down and place my body across the path
that leads my country to prosperity and
happiness.
call upon Senators to bury, deep and
forever, the character O.! the partizan, 10
rise up patriots and statesmen, to break
the vile chains Of party, TO throw the frag-
ments to the winds, End to feel the proud
satisfaction that we have made but small
sacrifice TO the paramount obligations
which we owe to our country.
Holding the principle that citizen, so
long as single pulsation rem ains,is under
an obligation 10 exert his utmost energies
in the service Of his country, whether in a
private or public station, my friends may

exer,ions in the cause Of union and liber-

App,IcAT1oS FOR COMPUTATION OF SEN
TENCE OF DEATH.
The Governor and Council met on Tues
day morning, pursuant TO adjournment,
and after dispo,ing Of some other papers,
Gov Briggs announced the reception of
the following
PETITION OF DIR WEBSTER:
To his Ercelicacy the Governor and to the Honorable
Erecutire Council ofthe Commonwealth Of Massd-
chuetts.
John White Webster, convict under
sentence of death, in Boston Jail, in behalf
of himself and orhis wife and his children,
respectfully petitions, that the sentence
awarded against him by the law may be
committed to such other less horrible and
ignominious punishment as your honora-
Die body may mercifully decree.
Your petitioner fully admits that he was
tried before fair and impartial tribunal,
and that under the law as it exists his jury,
composed as it was Of honorable and high
minded men, could have returned no 9TH
er verde, than they did. But he respect
fully reminds your honorable body, that
the two great moral ingredients Of the
crime OF murder, malice and premedita'ion,
have never been found against him by
iury, but have been necessarily inferred
by The arbitrary rules Of the law, from
certain general facts which your petition
er will not deny, but the eXtenratiny de-
tails of which no man in your petitioners
situation can ever possess legal evidence
to prove. These details your petitioner
has confded to the friend who presents
his petition, with authority to state them
to your honorable body, in the hope that
YOU will find therein reason to extend TO
YOUR petitioner and his family that mercy
of which the law has made you the dis
pensers.
And your petitioner will ever pray.
J. w. WEBSTER.
Boston, June, 1850.
This petition was forthwith referred TO
the committee on pardons, OF which Lieut.
Gov Reed is chairman, and II o'clock was
assigned. at his request, for hearing the
Rev DR. Putnam in explanation of and in
support Of the petition. At the hour
named the committee met in the ante-cham-
ber. and the Rev Mr. Putnam appeared,
and having read the petition, proceeded
! TO make the following
PRELIMINARY REMARKS.
The grounds which | am authorised to
take in aid of the petition Of J. W. Web
ster, and which l take not as an advocate
pledged TO a side but in good faith, as ex-
pressing my own personal belief are as
| follows:
That the human remains found in the
medical college in November last were
those of the late Geo Parkman, and that
| he came to his death by the hands of DIR
Webster. in moment Of passion under
great provocation; that there was no pre-
meditation, or ,nurderous intent; that there
was homicide, but not a murder-or il
if could be called a murder under the rigid
Interpretation of the rules of common law
prevaIing in this commonwealth, yet that
It was not murder according TO the moral
| judgments of our people or Of mankind--
not the crime to which the public sense OF
Justice awards the punishment OF DEATH or
| for which that punishment is inflicted un'
