It is almost universally conceded that for some
reason the vast majority Of American women are
Wings. The reason may never have been gwen;
but it is worth seeking and is easily found. 1t
is in the very nature of woman. They act from
feeling, impulse, and sentiment, where men at
tempt to act from calculation, reason and argu
ment; and on all moral subjects-al questions OF
principle, their feelings and perceptions of what is
true and pure and noble and beautiful are more
Just and certain, as they are more prompt than

Nature has thus endowed them above us for the
hottest OF purposes. The mother waits not to rea
son of her duties. Her high instinct is divine
wisdom, most wisely given. Women too have
strong natural taste for the heroic III principle Tor
the noble, the bold and gallant, and an equally
strong dstaste for the mean, the crafty, the cold
and calculating. We owe much of that female
influence, no doubt, to the personal qualities CT
our leader His heightened feeling, his fervor,
frankness and courage are the traits they most
seek and admire in men. Still, it is to our prln-
cipIes and action also that their preferences are
rendered. So was it with the mothers and wives
and daughters of the Revolution. So must 1t be
with those of our time. We welcome them then
with all our hearts. We honor their high percep-
ton Of the moral sublime in ourcause. We give
them praise. Our enterprise would not be COM

their gentle winning influences here, and IN their
dominion OF the hore and the fresIdc; Just as
our proud choral anthems would lack perfect har-
Inony without the sottenlng melody their voices.
And thereiore,-wives and mothers and daugi-
tiers of enlightened freemen we reolce IN your
presence as an evidence Of your appreciation OF
whatsoever things are honest. pure and Of good
report" as touching manifestation of that NOR
al sense, dlviner than cold reason, by which you
look to the hopes and Joys of that coming age
which is committed to your care. That holy
maternal love which bears that object of It's Gre
alton in such a continual anxious watchiulness,
and will not leave it when lis infancy ceases, but
clings to it unchanging through life and TO death
and beyond death, follows it over the Earth
and up to Heaven, and bears it near to Goo,
that same love instnctively abhors the public
evils of the age, and instinctively promotes the
influences which will avert those evils from that
offspring. Although the father may forget this
duty, the mother will rot; and she may make the
father remember it.
Therefore, lovely and true and faithful! we
are glad in the light of your countenances; and
from full hearts we send you our shouts OF well
