Jrsr AS Ir suouL BE.-We hope the fol-
lowing resolution, offered in the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES on Monday las, by Mr.. Briggs,
NAV receive the approval of that body. 1t IS
time we were commencing work. Let the
millions laid out for these articles be kept at
home, and we will not have SO much complaint
for hard times. That we can manufacture
as rood silks as can be brought from across
the waters. is demonstrated. That we can
manufacture though, perhaps, IN
some respects not as good, yet, which, by time
and practice, can be made equal, )-is also
nroveu bv experience. Then why should our
own manufactures 90 unprotected IN their IN

would be a protection but, While young, they

We. therefore, hope this resolution may lead

The Vice President of the United States
r. M. Johnson in a letter to Lewis Tappan, OF
New York, declining to present to the Senate
OF the United States, a petition from females
praying for the abolition Of slavery inthe DIS
trict Of Columbia, makes the following very
judcous and sensible remarks:
"Another circumstance exists aside fro II
what have noticed above, which would make
NE reluctant to present this petition It comes
from ladies, ordained by Nature and by the
customs Of all civilized nations to occaPv q
higher place in society than that olpe,ltloncrS
to Legislative body.
eff courtesy could induce me on subject
that could not become matter OF injurious
notoriety to present petition from females
vet ] should regard it purely us matter
of courtesy, and not of constitutional right
The rights of women are secure through
the coarser sex-their fathers, their husbands
and their brothers. 1t is,the right OF woman
to maintain modest retirement in the hustle
of politics and of war. She does not appear at
the polls to vote, because she is privileged to
be represented there by man. She does not
serve on yuries, nor perform the duties OF bal
lift or executioner because it would be deg
radiation of her dignity. She does not take
up arms and meet her country's foes, because
she is privileged character, and mal is her
substitute; who represents her in all these
.drndgeries. Every man is bound BY the per-
feet law of custom and of honor to protect
and serve her. This is the light in which
the law OF God places the woman She IS
yelled and silent even in religious DISCUSSIONS
hot because she is unworthy, but because
she is exempt from the strife OF man: and II
is her right to observe that retired nlodcsty
which renders her the object OF admiration
and esteem. In this respect the Constitution
of orr country is established upon The prln-
ciplc of the Divine law. If tire rights OF man
are lnvioIalle, they arc Of course confirmed to
wo,.an and the most dignltied OF the Sex are
the least inclined to NEEDLE with public na1
tiers. presume females who SIGN petitions
would moi consent to the publication OF the
names should be very reluctant to be &C
cessory to an act which should. IN amy degree
cast Il Shade OF reproach upon an Ildlvldua
of that sex whose modest dignity is the slor,
of man. Thus, sir, have frankly stated III,
views III returning the petition, as now 90.
