The LcQisIaturc vs. the Women.


10th March, and with NOT unmerited panegyric,
he remonstrsncs Of Mr. Arnold against the bill for
the punishment OF seduction, as now before the
Legislature" The genteman's arguments are
appear to the writer OF The present, to have taken
altogether q profound view Of the case. He con-
ceives the male TO be exposed to the seductons oi
the female in The same d. gree that the female is
to those ct the male and no doubt he speaks in
this from experience. But, admitting that ne should
have suffered IN his own person as much
or more than any or all Of the male
ton, still he should bear in mind that he has
but encountered the consequences of the syste-
matte injustice OF his sex. He is requested to OBJ
serve that society is under male government, and
that in consequence, male Iapacity has shut the
door against every female right, even against that
Of the female to earn her substance by any Of the
thousand modes which the male finds COED and
convenient for himself. IT, in consequence. the
female does her best to hire out her person by the
hour or for lie, has the male any real title to
COMMUNICATION when he may find that he has the
worst OF the bargain Let Mr.. Arnold lock to the
report rendered by the Working women Of New
York;" assembled the other day TO the number Of
seven hundred, and he will that the temptations
of his sex may under no possibility be weighed in
tSe balance with those Of the other. OF course, all
rules are subject to exceptions, and his case may
have been worse than Joseph's still it would be-
seem men, under existing circumstances, to bear
individually with meekness, what they have col
lectively provoked. The bill in question may be
ill-advised but what would Mr.. Arnold say to
propose in its place bill FOR the raising OF male
poll tax, and male property and income tax, TO
60 towards the support OF destitute woman, the
same to hold good until women are admitted to
some Of the rights Of human beings
Mr.. Arnold pleads 30 well for the balance oil
justice in case where he concelves his own sex
unduly threatened, that it Is hoped he will admit
the propriety Of the present suggestion on behalf
OF the other. He is urged to consider that our
cities heavily taxed fer the support Of foreign
paupers, Of which very goodly proportion Of
males, and among whom no native females are
ever found to present themselves. Our locotocos,
home and foreign. wranxle for office with our
male wings, and neither party of scramblere ever
proposed, it is believed, solitary custom house
clerkship or country post office for destitute
daughter Of the land. Our male natives are for
member not the daughters Of those women who
titled the soil with bleeding feet and fingers in the
years of the country's revolutionary agony. Our
male foreign agrarans ask for the lands of the
for dollar or two per acre, and a sufhciency Of
years to pay it in There is indeed an equal pro.
mise to actual settlers, male and female, of one
hundred acres per head in Oregon. But how single
lop trees, and secure possession in their own right
amid swarms of male scramblers, aided by male
functionaIies and male lawyers, is not explained.
who, under law, take possession of the property OF
their wives, and not unfrequ leave them and
their children naked Our democratic President
seems thus to interpret the law in his inaugural,
since he therein encourages " the people with
their wives" to 60 to Oregon and take possession;
thus setting forth distinctly that the people" are
the males, and that wives are the peoples goods
and chetteis Again. Mr.. Arnold will observe that
our male abolisionists are for armipg male negroes
with the malel popular sovereignty, and thus for
assisting the male African to lord it the women
OF the land, along with the male British, the male
From all which, and much more not necessary to
suggest, in this world of male supremacy, and in
this country where liberty Is very decidedly Of the
male sex, from all this Mr.. Arnold will see thai
nor sufferance for the poor female, unless as the
hanger-on of the male. How then, can he com
plain if woman's wit be employed to hook herself
on to the male, In some form or another?
to me that you are male editor /; still feel con
Rdent, that the conductor of what lays claim to
the high character OF free press, you will MOI
refuse place In your columns to this retort cour
teous to an unfair parallel. And the rather will
you admit this female remonstrance with the male
remonstrancer, that it is made on behalf of those
who are at this time menaced with being crushed
down into the condition. Of servants Of seruamts;
against the conclusions OF Mr.. Arnold, respecting
the defencelessnees Of the male before the blan.
dishments of the female, l venture to raise this
