The Editor of the Springfield Republican amuses
himself and his readers with the subjoined playful
ridicule of the Woman's Convention, lately held
at Worcester-a more appropriate mode Of treating
such vagares than grave argument:
The WoMAs's CosvEsrIor.-We have waited in sus-
Pense for the breaking up Of the Womans Convention at
Worcester which and closed it's sessions last
week. Our fears for the result of this movement may have
made US suspicious Of appearances The ladies' the street
nave carried an arch and sauy look, which indicated the pos
session OF concealed weapons, the existence Of plot
BY which the wrongs Of womanhood be redressed
