This is the title Of a sermon recent,
preached at Syracuse, n. Y, by Samuel
J. May, 10 whom we are indebted for u
copy of it. II is the sincere, straight. for.
ward word Of an earnest mar on sublec,
about which such words are wanted. We
thank him for it, from one soul. II is wor-
thy OF hin,-whch is praise enough.
The doctrine of Mr.. Mays Discourse
is. that Woman should be Mans equal
He sees neither truth nor Justice in the So
cial state and the !egisla ion which makes
her inferior and dependant. He claims
for her that she shall not be governed by
laws in making which she has no hand
He appeals in behalf Of her emancipation
fiom the shackles that custom and prejn-
dice fix upon her. He demands tina: a II
spheres of life be throw. open TO her, and
that she be allowed 10 make cool her right
to do and be whatever The endownents of
her nature give her power for. The ex-
elusive control Of pol tics, legislation, art,
science, is nothing bu, usurpation on the
part of man; let woman be admitted to Il
just share in them. So too, let us abolish
all laws which make woman only an ap.

the righ, 10 hold property in her own name
rbut has she Il name Of her own?) and thus
be made substantive entity in the pract
cal affairs OF life. Sound doctrine this
Heaven speed the day when it shall uniyer-
sally felt BE and acted on.
MIR. May makes his statement, without
expecting TO be appreciated by very nnany
persons at tie outset. He makes il with
conmendable camHess AID in Christian
spirit. He makes it as a sower scatters
seed, content to wait till harvest time for
It's product.
The condition Of woman always affords
the trues. index OF the state OF society. No.
less is i, an index of the blindness and
selfshness Of man,-ai least so il has been
and is now; hereafter it will be so. Among
sayages wornan is a mere drudge; her func
ton is to do the hardest AMI most despised
Offices. Barbarism releases her from that

tragic turB-they have been costly Iarces
heretofore--and the people would soon
become sick of them.
These remarks have been hastily
thrown together, but they may possibly
be as good as any speculaiions that can
be offered. He who thinks that a lasting
and beneficial peace can be made with
Mexico, or believes that the American
troops are soon TO be Withdrawn, IS some
one who has not been over the country.
He starts in his belief from false premis-
es, and Judges race Of people by the or
dinary rules which govern human nature,
while it is noioriously fact that they
have long since thrown all ordinary rules
of defiance. The Chinese. when they
painted hideous faces upon their walls to
frighten off the English insaders, were
not a whit behind these people when
they get up their tremendous proelama-
tons, and flatter themselves into the be-
lief that what they say in them is all true
that they really are great people, and
able to contend with those whom they
profess to despise.
