LvcRETIA MoTT.-This distinguished
and highly gifted minister oflhe society o
Friends, has been attending meetings il
various parts of Bucks county for a weel
or two past. Ga the 10Th instant she wa
in this place. and spoke for an hour and
half to a very large and attentive au
dlence. She commenced with a brief bu
most beautiful alluson to the rights o
woman, and to the fact that nearly all tn,
religious denominations exclude female
from the Ministry. She then passed on t,
various topics which we have not time tt
enumerate but spoke at considerable
length on the absorbing questions ofslave
ny and intemperance, Her ollusiol

ground. and carries her principles out Il
their fullest exten, in her everyday occu
pations, She opposes Slavery because
is moral evil-and takes the position
that from the fact that it is little short Q
robbery to compel the aborer to worI
without wages, il is morally wrong TO US
any of the produce of slave labor, An,
she not only lays it down as theory, bu
reduces it to practice.
