Information WANTED.

Some time since the Freeman had the bad
taste to copy into its columns an article which
it knows disgraced them, relating to the Hon.
A. E. Wood. Last week it published an ar
ticle highly complimentary to that gentleman
from the pen of a lady editor. Not content
with giving the ''unvarnished tale" as he
found it, he prefaces it with remarks calcula-
ted 10 give the impression that the lady is of
itl-repute.
Now we should like to know whether the
editor of that print intended to charge any
body with moral delinquency, or whether it
was an inadvertance. Democrat
Well We are glad to find the editor, pro
tenn, of the Democrat, seeking information. 1t
is a happy omen, and if he only perseveres in
this praise-worthy enterprise, we viii have
some hopes for him yet Incapable as we
consider ourself of giving information or in
struction to our fellows, we shall always be
most happy to enlighten the mind of our CO.
temporary. As the recent rains have done
good to every thing green, so we hope any
information" we may give, will benefit every
thing-seeking after instruction.

for information, he at the same time informs
US that sometime since" we disgraced our
self by publishing an anecdote at the expense
of A. E. Wood, which must be news to our
readers, as it certainly is news to us, and we
return our sincere thanks to the editor, for the
appalling information.
TD ~alof;ov, ~ kIo of he adikor
of the above interesting sheet, that our re-
remarks were calculated to convey the impress
sion that the 'lady-editor" of the Huntress
is a woman OF otill-repute, we most emphatically
deny. On the contrary, the facts go to prove,
that the ladyis of high standing in society; for
if the articles in her paper show anything, it is
that she enjoys the society of good many
members of Congress- land they form the
standard of genteel society in Washington
aud that she has facilities for discovering the pc
culiar traits in ones character, possessed but
by few persons there. She does not only de-
scribe the personal appearance of members,
the peculiarly of their tempers, the color Of
their hair, eyes, DC, but also has the mack of
finding out whether they are whole-souled, Ii
beral fellows or not
Well, finding so "highly complimentary" an
article, in so renowned paper, of our distin-
guished Representative in Congress, we could
not refrain from giving him the benefit of its
influence through the columns of our paper;
and what astonishes MS the most is that not
one of the Locofoco papers in this Congress
ional District after all their praise of Mr..
Woods character and ability, have done him
so slight favor as to publish the compliment
tory notice of him alluded to. This is the most
unkind cut of all

The encroachment includes two military posts

made by the government force. Billy Bow

strikinR Relic,

Bir E. B. Thompson, of this city, and now a
compositor in the Office of this paper, has in
his possession very interesting historical relic,
small embroidered eambric pocket-handker.
chief which was used by Charles upon the
scaaold and is stained with his blood. It came
originally from John Fenwike, who was Ma
iorof Cavalry in Cromwell's army, and in that
capacity was required to be present at the ex-
ecution 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 18th century, and was connected
with the Fenwike family. She gave it to her
daughters. who kept it with the greatest care,
and at their death it passed into another
branch of the family, and has finally come in
topossession of Mr.. Thompson. Its authen-
ticity seems to be clearly traced and proved
beyond doubt. -
The handkerchief is of small size-and the
figure Of the Scottish thistle lis embroidered
around the edges Upon one corner is a small
figure of a crown. Il is thickly stained with
dark spots, some of which are as large as
dollar-the others smaller. The linen is con-
siderably discolored by time. Itseems to have
been roned but not washed N.Y.Cour.

at cannot be denied that hostility to the
constitutional rights of4the south has grown
with rapid growth since the Presidential
election of l848. We cannot see, and We have
never been able to see, how any man of ordi-
nary understanding should have failed to an
ticipate any other result as the legitimate and
necessary consequence of the Philadelphia tick
ct. In the summer of ls4s, it was plain that
the election of Zachary Taylor and Millard Fill
more would be the heaviest blow which south
ern interests ever received, as it was at the
last session of Congress, or it is at the pres
ent session of Congress. A candidate was
brought forward for the -highest Office within
the gift of the people, who, though southern
man, failed and refused to whisper one word
in favor of southern rights and southern inter
ests, and who willingly endorsed the political
history of Milliard Fillmore, the author of the
letter to the Erie abolitionists. Yeta large
portion of the south gave its jealous support
to the Philadelphia nominations while anoth-
er portion stood Indifferent, with their arms
folded, and saw without sign of dissatisfac-
ton northern man defeated who had been
true and faithful to the constitutional rights of
the south, and whose election would never
have been doubtful, but for the hatred enter
tanned for him by those who cherish hostility
to the institutions of the south.
