WOMAN'S RIGHTS' CONVENTION. - The Wornan'•
Rights' Convention was opened at Albany on the 14th
ult. Though the drizzling rain, ice, water, and mud la
the streets kept the timid within doors, several hundred
men and women were in attendance. Susan B. Anthony,
of Rochester, called the meeting to order, and nominated
for !president Mrs, Elizabeth Cady Stanton,' of Seneca
Falls, which nomination the committee aocepted. The
Rev. Miss Brown, from the business committee, read •
series of resolutions, setting forth, among other things.
" That for men to govern women, without consent asked
or granted, is to perpetuate an aristocracy utterly hos•
tile to the principles and spirit of free institutions ; and
that it is time for the people of the United States, and
every State in the Union, to put. away for ever that
remnant of despotism and feudal oligarchy—the caste of
sex. That the fundamental error of the whole structure of
legislation and custom, whereby
is the
are practically
enslaved, even in this Republic, the preposterous 4c•
tion of law, that in the eye of the law husband and wife
are one person, that person being the husband ; and,
protection,
that the final result is that system of tutelage, miscalled
I)3r which the industry of women is kept on
half-pay, their affections trifled with, their energies alp'
pled, and even their noblest aspirations wasted away 0'
vain efforts, ennui, and regret." The resolutions pro'
reed at great length in this strain ; and the editor 0'
the New York Herald complains that the convention
have sent him the copy of an address to the Legislature
"four columns long." He is provoked into adding,
,g While these women are wasting time at Albany, nurse•
are wanted in every part of the country, at wages rang'
ing from $5 to $25 per month, according to capability.
These women complain that they are deprived of thou'
rights, have no opportunity of making money, and yet
refuse to fill situations when offered."
