woMAN's RIGHTS, CONVENTION

hSiu ~ N7dictu, Oulo, VII ule lOt0 dNO <Ot0
of April, for the purpose of bringing the
subject of woman's rights before the consti.
tutionnl convention now IN session. Men
took no part with the women, though they
attended in great numbers as spectators. II
seems that some of the first women in the
State were there, and letters were read from
many of the leading women of other States.
The Convention was organized and con-
Quoted throughout in good order Among
the ladies present, we notice the wife of the
Free Soil nominee for Governor, Mrs. Mar
tha J. Tilden, of Akron. So it seems that
Mr.. Tilden is somewhat of radical-that
Is. supposinp his wife has exercised her in
fluence in training bis thoughts and feelings.
She is a radical without doubt, for we never
heard of n woman insisting on her equal
rights with man, that was not thorough re-
former all round the bush.
After the organization of the Convention,
letters were read from distinguished women
who had been invited but could not attend.
The first was from Lucreta Mott, of Phila-
delphia, a woman that is woman in every
sense of the term. Coming down the river
the other day, we fell In company with
young merchant of Philadelphia, and sound
ed him as to the radicals of his CITY. Among
others he spoke particularly of Mrs. Mott,
aud snid if we should come TO Philadelphia
and desire TO see her, we would find her
most speedily by calling upon the poor and
distressed of the city who know more of her
than any one else, and among whom she
spends much of her time There must be
something in wonan's fights" when they
are advocated bv such woman.
The object of this reform IL to secure
equal rights TO woman. They contend that
all women ne well ms all men are "crented
equal" and belong to common hnmanitv-
that we cannot trace any substantial differ
ences between the mind of woman and that
of man--consequently she is entitled to the
same degree of education, the same legal
privileges and the same consideration that
man enioys-that she should he permitted
to vote, sit on iuries, hold Office, and possess
property the same ms the other sex. 1t is
warfare of independence in which they nre
engaged feeling quite certain that the robbie
ry of her rights is the cause of her degrade
ton and of all her inierioriiy to man.
~ Four or five hundred "sily women
held n meeting lately nt Salem. Ohio, in con-
sequence of the approaching Convention to
form new State Constitution. The usual
stereoivped resolutions about "wonen's
rights," were passed, letters from distinguish

were made. Ohio bad better keep the men

We think the perpcirator of the above
ought to be dressed in female attire, and
housed up. Certainly. if he would not dis
grace the sex, we really don't know where
to find another Ike him.
"Slly women" forsooth. We wish the
writer of the above might read the follow
ing Letter from Mrs. Jane G. Swisshelm to
Horace Greeley, ESQ.,, and he will only have
10 stand before mirror to discover full
length portrait of all that appcrfnins to silly
In the Tribune of last week may be found
full report of the proceedings of the above
named Convention. The speeches and let
ters made and read at that Convention are
highly creditable TO the speakers and wri-
ters of the same. They would do honor to
the head and heart of the Representatives of
a free if not n slavery compromising peo-
pie. We regret very much TINT the size of
our sheet forbids our publishing n full report
of that Convention.-ImpertiaI Citizen.
WoMAN's RIeHTs CoNvENTIoN-The con-
vention of women met at Salem, Ohio, on
the 18th ult. Miss Betsy M. Cowles, of Can
ton, was chosen President. The officers
speakers, sc. appear TO have been all Ohio
ladies. A series of resolutions, twenty-three
in number, was adopted Mrs. Pierson, of
the Lancaster Gazette, sent long letter, adj
vising young ladies, among other things, not
TO get married so young. This is capital ad-
vice. We hope those ladies who are so
strenuous for woman's rights, will have the
good sense and firmness to set the women
of the country good examples in this matter.

Mrs. Persons advice, we shall have some
little confidence that they can be safely trust

REsIGNArroN.-A certain old lady who
had been famed for sour looks and not very
sweet words touching the various accidents
of lile was observed TO have suddenly be-
come very amiable. "What happy change
has come over you? said neighbour
"Why," said the transformed, "to tell you
the truth, have been all my life striving for
a contented mind, and have finally made

son L. took Walk from the village of

the way he fell in with Capt. s., who
was driving a load of wood to market with a
team that looked as if it had seen hard work
and poor keeping. After the usual saluta-
tom Captain said the pastor, looking at
the cattle that had hardly flesh enough OH
them to keep their bones together Captain,
what is the matter with your oxen?' 'Well,'
says Captain s., Il rather guess they are
in the same situation of your society down
there-they want II new pdsttr'-BGy State.

street preachers have been arrested ut New
Orleans, while in the act of preaching what
one of the papers ofthat city calls inflamma-
tory and abolition sermons, to large crowd
of slaves and free negroes. They had a
