We Perceive hy the last Detroit PeninsniaT
Fireman. that the Free Soil Central Committee
have called State Convention, to meet at Mar
sb, on the 2sth inst Of all who are opposed to the
extension Of Slavery beyond lis present limits, to
deliberate upon the best means to concentrate the
nubic sentiment Of this State in such a manner,
hat its influence may be felt in settling the ques
tiors concernin. Slavery which now asitate the
Union. en-
In this call at this time, We offer the following
reasons
/ We suppose that the mass Of the people Of
Michigan feel 10 abatement Of their interests IN
these important qat stons that they desire still to
exert all the influence that they can. lawfully, to
abolish Savery wherever they have the political
lower to reach it, and TO prevent It's further eXten-
sion.
. We believe that the resolutions recently
adopted by the Legislature Of this State, known
rs B.. the Resembling Resolutions, are cisapproved
by large majority Of the people, and that they
were passed IN violation OF pledges OF The most
sacred character. And that the attitude which the
State now holds in the National Councils, brought
about b, the uniaithlulness OF some OF their public
servants at home is one OF humiating subseryiency
to Southern domination, from which the people OF
this State can be, and ought to be indicated.
g. The remarkable coincidence OF opinion which
has recently trenspired between distinguished SEN
ators who have spent their lives in waglng politl-
cal conflict with each other, now for the first time
in combination and for the unholy purpose Of sitting
the voice of freedom indicates degree of danger
10 the cherished sentiments Of the North, which
calls upon all men ot MI parties to unite in the main
tenance OF principles OF the utmo importance TO
the character aud prosperity oi orr country.
4 The DANCER is imminent. Under pressure
OF Influences and motives difficult for the people to
understand their public sery ants are betraying
their trust The most surprising abandonments OF
confiding constituencies are becoming shameiully
common
PEOPLE OF MIcHIGANl You have 5een betray
ed by those you trusted. Are You willing 10 sub
nit IN silence Is it not best to make one more
effort rescue elves from the false position IN
which we have recently been placed; and 10 show
to the county that though political asprants u.ay
for time succeed in lettering and defeating the
popular will the day Of retribution will neyerthe
less speedily and surely come
This call is issued by the Central Committee Of
the Free Soil organization Ia TINS State; bat it is
addressed, earnestly and cordially TO all who par
ticipate in the desires and principles herein ex

The Righi. Of WON nm.

We give. place in this paper to a lucid
and interesting Report Of the proceedings
Of n Convention of Women recently held in
Ohio to assert and commend the Right OF
Woman to equal participation with Men IN
Political Franchises, and to urge upon the
constitutional Convention about assembling
in Ohio the duty and policy of concedmg
and securing those Franchises to the
gcntler half of the Human Race. The de-
alterations and discussions of the Conyen-
ton appear to have been conducted through
out with dignity, propriety and ability,
affordng a model which Congress, our Le-
gisatures and other masculine assemblageS
might creditably initiate. We heartily com
mend it to their study and emulation.
1t is easy to be smart, to be droll, to be
facctious, in opposition to the demands OF
these Female Reiormers and, in decrying
assumptions so novel and opposed to estab-
hshed habits and usages. a little Wit will 60
great way. But when a sincere Repubh-
can is asked 70 say in sober earnest what
adequate reason he can give for refusing the
demand of Women to an equal participation
with Men in Political Rights, he must an
swer, None at all. True, he may say ,nat
he believes it unwisc in then. 70 make the
demand-he may say the great majority de-
sire no such thing; that they prefer to de-
vote their time to the discharge of Home du-
lies and the enjoyment of Home delights,
leaving the functions Of Legislators, Sheriffs,
.Jurvmen, Militia, to their fathers, husbands,
brothers; yet if after all the question recurs
- But suppose the Women should generally
prefer complete Political Equality with
Men-what would you say to that de-
'mand g-the answer must be, i accede to
III. However unwise or mistaken the de-
'mand, it is but the assertion of natural
right, and as such must be conceded
Besides, the assumption that Women are
duly cared for in matters of Legislation and
Government by Men, is not borne out by the
facts. If it were, woman who raises her
husband from poverty to wealth by marriage
would not be herself consigned to COM
parative poverty on that husbands death by
the legal reversion Of what was lately her
property to others, leaving her but a hie-in-
terest in third of it. If it were, woman
afflicted with drunken husband and COM
pelled to earn the scanty bread of her chill
dren while he reve's and blasphemes at the
grog-shop. would not be legally subject to be
stripped of her hard earnings whenever her
brute chooses to lay hands on them. If it
were, the husband enriched 10y his wife's
inheritance or earnings would be required
at least 10 ask her consent before squander-
ing or hazarding her estate in extravaganza
or reckless speculation. If fitwere, capable,
resolute, INDUSTRIOUS women would be enabled
to earn at least two-thirds as much as men,
while in fact their average recompense at
present is hardly more than one-,hird that

II men Of equal capacity and resolution
80. Power is never fully just to Weakness,
and never will be. Charity may mitigate
the suferings Of Want, but can never proiier
full equivalent for subverted Rights. The
proper remedy Of injustice is found not in
compensation but in restitution.
And yet, as a question Of practical utility
there i much to be said against the demand
of Political Franchises for Women. Con
ceding that none Of them need be cho-
sen to Offices like that Of Sheriff or Mar
shal which they would be poorly qualified
to fill, we foresee many obstacles in the way
Of bcnefcent enjoyment Of Political Rights
by Women. One is the almost inevitable
apathy and indifference Of the better portion
Of the sex in regard TO the exercise Of these
Rights after they shall have been acquired.
Presuming that they are subject to like in
frmites with men, we will warn them Of
an evil which, when enfranchised, they will
be fairly required to obviate. Many Of the
lovely, the delicate, the gentle, the domestic,
will be reluctant to dicharge their Political
duties, and will with difficulty be brought
10 the polls while the reckless, the shame
less. the unwomanly, will be sure to attend,
and TO vote at least once. Their voices will
be heard, perhaps in execrations ; perhaps
it will be the cue Of their male cronies to
have them behave so as to drive the refined
and modest Of their sex from the vicinity Of
the ballot-boxes. These are drawbacks on
the value of the Right Of Suffrage which will
render its exercise far less pleasure than
duty.
We bring it into view at this stage, be-
cause We wish it distinctly understood that
demand Of Political Franchises by Women
implies pledge that they shall be faithfully
and conscientiously used, no matter at what
personal inconvenience or sacrifice. When
ever the Women Of our country shall gener-
ally demand the Right of Suffrage, on the
understanding and implied pledge that they
will not shrink from its responsibilities and
the sacrifices it requires, then we shall be
heartily in favor of concedingit it. Whenever
a majority Of the Women of our own State
shall in any manner signify their desire to be
made voters then we shall urge the call OF a
Convention with a view to compliance with
their demand. We only ask that the better
portion Of them will remember, what too
many good men forget, that Rights imply
Duties, that Power involves Responsibility,
and that the elector who votes only when
personally interested or warmly excited is a
sorry patriot and bad citizen. Commend
us to the voter who makes point of always
Iepositing his ballot, not because he Is in
terested in the result, but because he Sh0uld
be.
