To NJ F. H. r. Schae.dcr. publisher of the Demo-
cratic Press Sir-The Anzeiser DIES Wetens, of Oc-
tober 18Th, in article headed "Amazonian,' de-
MES that its editor, Mr. Henry Boernstein. was
cowhi1ed LAY before yesterday by women. His two
body guards made similar declaration in the Dem
ocratic Press Of day before yesterday. In view Of
these lying representations, feel called to de-
care that the account Of the whole affair, as given
in yesterdays Union and Republican, is essentially
correct AMI complete. The aforesaid Mr. Henry Boz
ernstein, had been slandering worthy husbands
in the vest in his Infamous paper for some
time back; had called them rowdics,' - rioters
burglars. and published that they had been cx-
PEELED from the Association of Freemen, on account
of grossly immoral conduct" At the same time
he had tied their hands from taking revenge and Civ
ing merited chastiScment, inasmuch he and his
followers had caused them to be bound over to keep
the peace each in the of $4,000. Therefore we
women resolved to revenge our husbands, and pub
licy to chasti>e that fellow to whom gave, by
mistake, the form of Il man, in a way that should
and would imprint forever his insolent forehead
an ndelible brand of shame. We, therefore, early
the day before yesterday, provided ourselves with
tough new cowhides and watched him the whole
forenoon until at last about II o'clock. luckily
caught him, attended by his body guard. julius Neu

stein, . Are you Mr. Boernsten g. On his
ing Automatically asked him, = Can speak word
with you @ On his conserving thereto, addressed
him the further question, VIII you take back tho
ISLANDERS you have published in the Anzeiger about
our husbands e. MIR. BGernsten gave an cyaSivc
answer: But, my dear Madam. let that alone
this is not the place for it. Hereon | applied my
cowhile, with all my might Mr.. Boerns;ein's back
MIR. bernstein endcayored to keep off, and said
:" Madam, keep off from me, or ! will knock you
down" Knock away answered |. and struck him
with the big end of my cowhide on his head that
he staggered. Mean while, the body guard. Neu-
drof and Prcyssncz had ha-enel to the aid of their
general hut the former was bclabored by Mrs Pei
fzzaro, with her cowhde. in such manner that he
took to bis heels, and it is only surprising that
he did not leave his whiskcrs and mou>taches in the
lurch Mr. Prey<sncz behaved himself, compnrat.re-
~, the most maniully and endeayorcd. in a manner
that does all honor to his fencing skill, to ward the
blows of from Mr.. Boernsteir and Mrs. Pelzzalo

with his stick doubtless unintentionaly that it is

MIR BoernStein well he could, and we after
him, letting cowiles dance ioyfuly on bis back
streets, where we left him to his feelings and re-
turned home This is the true state Of the case as
many spectators who did not in the least disturb
in our work OF revenge, can confirm.
Mir. Bo -rnsIcin's skin must be thicker than the
hide Of a rhnoccros if he does not still and for
many days to come, exhibit all the colors Of the
rainbow and, even though Mr. Boernstein himself
may long since have forgotten how to blush, the
same cannot be said of his back Should, however
MIR. Boernstcin be Of such horse like nature that
the strong dose haze given him cannot cure him

many A mcricans and Germans who have already
offered their services neat suit OF tar and feathers:
and long war-horse, without legs, and not very
soft to sit upon. and which he can ride about
