ring her season Of connubaliiy with Mr..
Butler, we do mol wonder that he sued lur
a divorce.
Now, just such capers as this u Mr.
Buffers coming over the country
could not possibly be eu0ctcd IN our south
etn country. We lack good many thing.
which they have 10 tho North, II - true
hut there nre some things We possess ana
which they appear to lack. For instance
our ladies' have the modesiy and the uetst
to preserve society from such oulrages up
Oh deceHcy as the +" divine Mrs. Butler

unseemly exhibitions are never dreamed Of

this country.
Since writing the above We have me
with some remarks nf Mrs. S,rinhtIn,, cdi
ttcss Of the Ptfsburgs. Visrer, in whicI
both the uiiiuy and taste re pau'alnons OF
her sex are discussed. She thinks tina
the vide skirts Of women are lmpedlmen,i
IN rural exercises, as she has ollen fell, Il
walking through wet grass, getting uyet
fences, and clamberng round rucks. Sni
does not, however, approve Of her SC,
wearing the panlaoons, aud says, very EN-
/ pharicalIy, 1t would be too humillatlo.
To be met and mistaken for a man ",
should great deal rather be arrested ms
sleep thief. We shall use all our ufli
ence to preserve mans right TO his panta
looms iuvlolsie They .ought 10 be his

The Editor of the Patriot 10 the above article
seems to DO perfectly indignant at tho idea Q

Now We sympathiz, entirely with the Pa,ro
in The above, for as the habi, OF wearing panta
looms IS concerned; bu, we drptceate tho attemp
10 party " wo the common people " Of tho South
altogether in relation to this matter. And "a W
believe tie Patriot 10 be quite rich source of in
formation on tie subject Of nearing Lre,eh,s; W.
, politely ask, whether lie believes there arc nan,
exceptions TO Mrs. Buffers fashion in the South
We hope. Furthermore. at tho Patriot viii unit
