corruption would be cured by the saving virtue
for which he breads the risk.
There NAV be real though very foolish tender
ness in the motive which refuses to open the
trades and professions that she could cultivate
and practice with equal profit and credit TO herself
The chivalry that worshiPs womanhood is not
mean though it at tile same time ensiaves the OBJ
ects of its over fond care.
And it is even possible that men may deprive
women OF their property and liberties, personal
and political, with the kindly purpose OF accom-
modating their supposed incapacltles Tor the ohces
and duties Of human life Harsh judgments and
harsh words, viii neither weaken the opposition
nor strengthen orr hands. Our address Is TO
the highest sentiment of the times, and the
tone and shirt due to it and becoming to
ourselves, is courtesy and respectfulness; All
the strength and truth OF complaint, and all the
eloouence Of denunciatlon are easy OF aVtaiii,
rnent. but the wisdom OF affirmative principles ana
positive science are the adjustment OF feioflaVoty
measures to the cxig enccs OF the times ana CIR
cumstances, are just as much more uSelai as ''iey
are more difficult A profound eXpediency, as
true TO principle az it is careful OF success, 49,
above all things, difficult and necessary c
have to claim liberty without It's usually asso-
ciated independence. We must insist on sePar-
ate property where the interests are identlcai
and division Of profits where the very peihs Oh
the mariners is blended. We must demand pro
be 70 shadow OF controversy; and the tree choice
of Industrial avocations and general educat'oii
without respect TO the distinctions OF sex and ma
tural differences OF faculty 80,
In principle these things are not dlihcuiV OF
donbttuI and they are therefore not impossible or
homeless in practice but they need great clear
ness in system and steadiness OF direction to get
them allowance and adoption III the actual lie OF
the world The opposition should be consulted
where it can be done without injurious conse-
ouences Truth must not be suppressed, nor
principles crippled, yet strong meats should not
be given to babes. Nor should the strong use
their liberties so as to become a stumbling block
to the weak Above all things, we owe 1t to the
earnest expectation of the age that stands tren-
Hing in mingled hope and fear of the great expe-
rjment to lay it's foundations broadly and securely
in phlosophic truth, and to form and fashion 1t IN
practical righteousness. 10 accomplish thls we
cannot be too careful or too brave, too gentle or
too firm. and vet with right dispositions and hon
est efforts we cannot fail OF doing share OF the
great work and thereby advancing the highest IN
terests of humanity
Mrs LUcRETIA MORT suggested whether 1t
would not be well to make some arrangement Tor
the publication of the address of the President
She did not propose to review the sentiments adj
yanced they would be responded to generally by
the friends of this reform. There We're two on
three expressions in the address and in the call tol
the Convention which she did not fully approve
| She thought they might be construed as proies
sion of too great gentleness in discussing this
subject She thought they should find it necessary
to take an antagonstic position, and TO meet the
preiudces and opposition OF the world with direct
! ness and an earnest expression OF the truth lhey
must attach blame to those who had persisted 50
long in deprlvIng woman OF her nights, IN passing
| laws which deny her the control OF her property
| and place her beyond the pale and protection o
| equal laws She said they must mourn over the
admitted infcriority OF woman; over her savisf
| subsection to the evil customs and preludices o.
society 1t was not strange, after so long period
differentiation, she should be encryated and con
tented with her inferior position. She desired
that we might speak with the earneStness and
severity of trull-with an eamestness and seve
lity that should make the ears OF man Jingle Tor
| the degraded position in which he has kept woman
during many ages, and especially under 'lie M
| Auences of the religion and teachings OF the Son OF
| God,
