MISS WRIGHT,

w
We have paid but small attention to the ,,;nc;,s~
of this lady, and her various efforts to d,s.em;n.,.
them IN this country We supposed her DREAMING
phlonthropist incapable of doing much harm ~
good; of great talents certainly but little sense, aim.

human nature was unacceptable. but prompted bv
motives Of sincere benevolence How e., ,,a
right or how far wrong, in these conceptions, we do
not yet "o"; but 1t appears from the following art
Gle which we recommend to perusai that we under.
rated her powers Of influence. The Courier e.
Enquirer is violent enemy of Miss Wright, and
that party Of the Working Men which it says owes
Its origin to her, and its views of her principles ara
therefore, to be received with many grains of alloy
ance. The same hostility tho other hand, repdess
the best witness when it speaks faVorably OF the
results of her labors as far as mere proselvtism
concerned
