VINES AND FREEsoILERs.-The Boston post

and Freesoilers in opposition to the Constitu-
ton appears to be complete. The Whig papers
have taken Charles F. Adams, Samuel Hoar Mr.
Palfrey, &c, &c, and placed them at the head
of their columns These gentlemen leading
the Freeso party back to their paternal hearthS
in the Wing mansion where-the word is--they
are to be reunited with the wings, and all formed
into one great Seward Wing party, to enable the
Freesoers to accomplish their purposes through

Freesoiler made to a Salem friend some time ago,
viz that if the Wings behaved well the Freesoil-

From tile Charleston Meas
Memorial TO Mrs. Stowe.

We have lately had the pleasure of seeing the
oraught ola memorial to be erected to the glory
of Mrs. Stowe, on Boston Common: The expen-
ses are to be betrayed by collection of single cod
fish or onions, to be sent, postage paid, to the Of
fees of the Tribune and National Era.
The design is well worthy of the object. The
pedestal is composed ofthe empty boxes, on which
appear 'Irsh linens" almost entirely erased,
and over them written private baggage" On the
covers, in scrolls, supporting the pnth, copies
of the various prominent Abolition newspapers
The pinth is huge journal of the proceedings of
the Hartford, Buffalo and Syracuse Conventions,
on which are cut in low relief, ''no communion
with shareholders, separation Of the churches, -
course the Constitution and 'down with the BIZ
ble.''
The shaft is model of the Washington monu-
ment, disjointed and tumblng down. The capital
is a planters dwelling in flames, and supports a
pitchfork, on which is the writhng figure of white
infant At the base of the column are four emblem
attic figures; lst, lion tearing an eagle Cd, a
New England ship chased ashore by British
sloop of war, Sd, the figure of planter lying ex-
hausted on the body of negro, whom be has
throttled to death and on the 4th the planters
wife, daughters and infants perishing of disease
and hunger in a swamp.
On one pannel of the pedestal, on a BLACK
ground, lnred letters, the description of
Uncle Toms Cabin.
On the other:
Harriet Beecher Stowe,
The strong minded woman and self-sarifcng phi
lanthropist,
who conferred upon her country
the greatest honor and taught its merchants a new
method of direct
importation, in 'Stowe-ing away

We had the pleasure on Tuesday last of seeing
the Hon. w. S. BARRY, member elect to Con-
gress from the glorious Second District. Col. B.
was on his way to his residence in Sunfiower Co.
to arrange his departure to his post ofduty at Wash
ington, to which place the voters of his District
have accredited him as their agent for two years
to come.
We predict for our late gallant standard bearer
a brilliant career in the new field to which his
tellow-citizens have transferred him. His com
manding talents, his high order of eloquence and
his many social qualities eminently fit him to shine
as star of the first magnitude in any armament.

LOBBYING Ex MEMBERS OF CoNGREss.-We are
destined to have stationed in Washington during
the approaching session of Congress from thirty TO
sixty ex-members, who come to sell their personal
influence for hard cash on the nail and contngen-
ces their influence aforesaid for such consldera-
ton to be used to get through Congress any le9ls
lation whatever desired to put money in the pock-
cts of the payees. Some of these gentlemen have
followed this business for years past, until they
are well known around the halls of Congress as
''obby members" Their former position IN the
public service gives them at all times an entrce IN
to both chambers, which affords advantages for
electioneerng for schemes the treasury for
which Spectators pay literally. Their knowledge
of the rules governing the transaction of business
in Congress also makes them somewhat desirable
agents. These advantages backed by the fact
that they VIGOROUSLY less scrupulous in their
means of carrying their points than most others,
have up to this time rendered them successful
as professional legislative drummers that they have
among them shared much of the public money
which never should have left the treasury of the
United States Little good it does them, however,
as in spite of our laws and the efforts of our poll
ties, faro banks still flourish in Washington. We
have reason to believe that heavy force of this
description is already engaged to work through
Congress the New York Pacific Railroad scheme,
through which it is designed to get the Government
to build the road, and then to virtually make it
present toa dozen spectators in nearly eve
ry State in the Union. There ex-members are to
be paid for their services here in stock, provided
they carry the project through. We shall have tC
keep our attention fixed upon EN- atectiOnately.
| AS they show their hands we shall inform the pub
lie, and more especially honest members of Con
gress, what schemes the treasury each may
have in hand, that they may be of the plots
of these gentlemen. The rules of the House and
Senate should promptly be so amended as that ex
members, claim agents or drummers, shall be ex
cluded from the halls, other claim agents are
excluded Washington Star.
