a relort of a woman's rights convention, at
which women ursexed themselves, and behaved
IN a most disgusting manner; tore the the breeches
off the men. and enca ed their own LIMBS with
them. These free and independent reformers, in
pet,coa;e, wish 10 grasp the prerogatives which
Nature herself has conferred on manhood, as the
infidels want 10 clutch, with their sacrilegeoas
hands, the thunderbots of Jove-the very omnipo-
telce of Heaven.
Is II net time, therefore, for the conservative
portion Of society TO arouse and avert the danger,
which, like an irresistible torrent, threatens to
sweep into the gulf Of destruction all that is good,
TO corrupt the youthful mind, pcrvert the nature OF
man, and oyerturn all the social, religious, and
political landmarks, which distinguish civilization
from harbarism, and christianity from pagansml
This new movement, springng as it does, from
the moral susceptbtes of the people, will be d.
recled imms diately TO the ant-slavery agitation,
which is boot of the system OF iniidel social
ism, 10 which We have referred, and mediatey 10
all others. Ii will be grand and sublime awaken
ing Of a portion Of the community who have too
long remained sspiae and passive in the midst Of
the storm which ragged around them, to sense
of the dHty they owe their country, its consti-
ntoD, themselves, and their God. 1t will, we
hope be eil,ctual i'll stopping the torrent of fana
cisn and des'ructveness, which, under the garb of
philanthropy, threatens the annihilation Of all that
good men hold dear, and that it will not be COR
fined to New York, but will extend its happy ipfu-
ence 10 the whole North.
What will be done at this meeting which is to
be held tomorrow eveniDg-pra ctically or theo-
retcally--in relation the present condition Of
things? The Ostensible purpose is to express, in
the strongest terms, the opposition Of the viytuous
ard patTotic portion of the community to any fur
tber agitation of the anti slavery question. The
gentlemen connected with it may not make any
separate ticket TO be supported by the people
at The next election, or put forward any special
men as candidates at this time. The principles
and sentiments that will, in all probability he svow-
ed, and the resolutions that will be adopted, will
be a sufficient chart to guide all who ure in favor
OF the object Of the movement. in the selection of
candidates in the present crisis. There can for
Instance, be no doubt that all who entertain such
sentiments as those of Seward and his co-dema-
gogues should be opposed to the death. and on the
ether hand, there be as little doub! that such
as approve of the just aud patriotic views of Mr..
Dickinson, Senator from this State, and of the
policy which he pursued, in company with Clay,
Webster and Cass, during The last session OF Con

Such men as dre named on either of the old party
tickets, whig or democratic, who have been or are
idt nitt d with The anti slavery agitation or who

marked and remembered by all who understand

State ticket, nominated, has been, under such
peculiar and importsnt circumstances, would be

perhaps they might never recover from, and that
the defeat Of the Sewtrdites would put a stop TO
