winding up Of the affair was after the pattern
here given. 1t must have been vastly in
strucllve.
Mr.. OWEN in the chair. Not many more
than 100 persons present, including four very
well-dressed and really handsome looking
young ladies.
The male portion of the spectators, how
ever, were very much inferior in point 0 fper-
sonal appearance aud intellectual develop
ments 10 those that met last week TO delb-
crate on the best means to benefit the condi-
ton OF The human race, to redeem US from
errors OF tfe poor old worn out system in
which the world has been bewildered for the
the best part OF 5000 years, and to start So
clety like a mended shoe upon an entirely
new footing. The man with The pale, cada-
verous face. long hair and dirty shirt-slee YES,
was not present, although the fascinating
youth with ringIets exquisitely curled, reach,
ing down TO his elbows, was in the room
looking as verdent as ever, and a large num-
Der of notwithstanding little men, with
most blood-thirsty looking imperials, and
most murderous looking moustacIes.
There was a great deal of confusion for
some time, but at last a letter from some
one who signed himself 'Jupiter Hessen,''
or Jupiter Ammon, or Jupiter Cannon, we
could not distinctly hear which. He was of
opinion that all the plans proposed were wrong
and he went in for what he called thorough
"resurreclion'' of society, or an entire revo-
luton, bloody or otherwise, he did not seem
to be very clear or decided which. He also
proposed that a great Worlds Convention
should .be held annually in n. York in The
month of October until the World should be
thoroughly regenerated. And he modestly
expressed a hope that as soon as the present
Convention should come to order that they
would do something sensible Laughter.
Mr.. Jupiter Tonan's letter did not seem TO
be well understood by the Worlds Reform
ers, or else ii was not we'll relished, and SO
they gave it the go-by.
Mr.. Collins then became very strenuous
for the appointment of a standing commit
tee to revise all the plans, and to select the
best one for the world in It's worldly wisdom
TO adopt.
Mr.. Owen said it was too late TO do this.
The meeting had already adopted all the
plans that had been proposed for the relief
OF the poor old worn out world. Laughter
A Member.-Yes, and we are ready TO
adopt twice as many more. Increased laugh
ter.
MIR. Collins said that the convention was
very inoficientIy organized. [Cries of sob,
ON" ''Have have you jlst found that QUIT
Mr.. Robertson than took the stand amidst
a great deal of noise and confusion, and pro-
ceeded 10 illustrate his plan this is based entire
ly on the acknowledgment of a Supreme Be-
ing, revealed religion, and the moral, physi-
cal and intellectual supremacy of woman.
This the world reformers would not stand
any way it could be fixed, and so they kick
ed up an elegant row during the whole time
so that Mr.. r. could scarcely be heard.
Mr.. Owen could not see any utility in Mr..
RS plan.
Mr.. R.-Neither can l see any in yours.
[Shouts of Laughter.
A Member.-Let III reject it forthwith.
[Applause.]
Robertson.-Then you reject God and his
blessed word, and the blessed supremacy of
woman, which l am ready to maintain here or
elsewhere in any way. Great uproar, laugh
ter and applase.]
A Member.-No, we don't reject woman
laughter we'll make her equal, but not su-
perior. Applause.
Ahother.--That's all nonsense, woman is
what she is [laugLter ; you can't make her
what you please,
s'For if she will she will, you may depend ont,
And if she won't she won't, and the res the end
ont.n
TContinued laughter.
Mr.. Robertson Il say she is superior
and | can prove it. [Great Laughter and ap-
plause.
Member.-I sayshe isn't, and I should like
TO see you do it. Increased confusion and
excitement.1
Owen.-My friend had better withdraw
the plan.
Robertson. Mr.. Owen, lean stand a good
deal, but | can't stand every thing. Laugh
teri If I'm not allowed to speak why iii
sit down. Applause.
Owen.-Is it the pleasure of the meeting
that Mr.. Robertson shall go on? Increased
Laughter.
Loud cries of"no."
Robertson.-Very we'll, I'm satisfied lap
%plause]; and you say '''There is no God?'
Pm not satisfied about that, and enter my
protest. Applause, laughter and all sorts OF
noise.
Mr.. Robertson's plan was then rejected
without a great deal of ceremony, but with
much clamor, :,
Mr.. PEBBLES then jumped up in no small
state of excitement, and assalled MIR. Owen
and the Convention for blinking the question
about the Negro Slavery; they expressed a
great deal of sympathy for the poor oil Eng
land and for Americas white poor, but none
at all for the poor negro under the lash in
