extracts from the debates of the Convention. |
We have room only for the following;
Mrs. SARAH TYNDALE gave her expert
euce in business for the encouragement of
her sisters. She was left widow, and her
| husbands estate in debt. She had risen
| from these embarrossmepts, and met with
abundant success. Mrs. Mott arose at this
point, and stated that Mrs. Tyndae was the
proprietor of one of the largest and most
beautiful China establishments in this coun-
try or the world Mrs. Tyndale cantinued
She said her children, if they could see her
standing up before such an audience, would
say, Why, mother, how can you expose your
self 80? She said she did il for the encour-
agemeut of her sisters, and from sense of
duty. She went on TO say that her children
had grown up to succeed her in business,
and now she was employing her faculties for
the good of others. She fluids that her ener-
gies had been rendered greater and more ac-
tive by attention TO business, and she could
not remain idle and at ease. She desired
8 still to be usefully employed. Her friend,
Mrs. Mott, here arose and said, she must
state what the modesty of her friend would
not allow her TO state. She had, with anoth-
er friend, visited all the houses of bad reputc
in Philadelphia; they had established place

three hundred young women to return TO n
path of virtue, and found homes aud places
of useful employment for them. This fact
was received with great applause and many
mostened eyes in that audience. Mrs. Iyn-
dale urged her sisters onward in the path OF
! improvement, usefulness and bappiness.-
Her remarks were delivered with great sim
plicity, natural eloquence and pathos.
| Mr.. CLAIMING rose 10 thank the sister for
! her noble conduct. II he were her son he
should be proud of mother who could
| stand up here and give such words of en-
couragement, and who had done such deeds. !
| There were not many dry eyes in the house
during the scene.
Lucy STONE spoke with great simplicity |
end eloquonce on the character of the meet !
ing, the misgivings with which she came TO
il, the triumphant success which had attend !
ed it, and said she could not go away with |
out unburdening her heart. She said wo-
men must take their rights as far as she |
cun get them; but those she cannot take she
must ask iOr-demand in the name of common
humanity. She recommended the circulation 4
of petitions TO the Legislatures Of the seve-
raj States, asking for the Right of Suffrage,
and The Right Of Married Uomen 10 hold Prop
erty, and as much more as one felt il proper
, inferior and slnvish position of Women, aud
urged the objects OF the movement as wor-
. thy the labors of all true-hearlod men and
women in every land. We want, she said, to
Y he something more than the nppendages of
: society; we want that woman should be the
co-equal and help meet of man in all the in
, teresis, and perls and enjoyments of human
life. We want that she should attain TO the
Z development of her nature and wonanhood I;
4 we want that when she dies it may not he
written on her grave-stone that she was the
!. "relict of somebody. Great applause. l.
/ She closed with an earnest appeal for wo-
3 men.
r LUcRETM MoTT then made the closing
address TO the Convention. She alluded to
], the Bible argument, and said that many OF
: those injunctiops of Paul were applicable
Y only to the circumstances of the Christians
{ in that age; and suggested whether Paul and
: the other Apostles might not have imbibed
some of the spirit and ignorance of their age
i OH the subject; whether they were not in
c Auenced somewhat by the prevailing view
S that obtained nt that time respecting women;
and whether Paul, never having lived in the
il marriage relation, was fully competent as an
Q authority on this subject. There could be
If no doubt that the general tenor, the spirit
IT and teachings of Christianity were all on the
i side Of Women's Rights
Z, She then delivered most afiectionate val
= edctory, dwelling for moment on the sim
y pie aud truthful words of Soiourner Truth
y the poor woman who had grown up under
the curse of Slavery, "that goodness was
C from everlasting and would never die, while
J. evil had n beginning and must come to ail
r end" She portrayed the mountains of dii.
j. fcuty that stood in the way TO this reform,

o Then she uttered words of announcement
h and hope She pictured Jesus Christ, the
n Messiah, encountering the same difficulties
: but the common people heard him gladly
+ and many there are who shall rise up in be-
0 half of our cause, and call il blessed. Mark,
I said she, the words of Jesus: "Lift up your
: eyes and behold the harvest, white for the
reaper. Pray yc that luborers may be sent
into the harvest" We must be living agents
of this work. If ever there was an uge,
since the Messiah, when the people should
do those "greaer works" which he said they
should do who obey his word, this is that
age. She alluded 10 the Temperance and
Ant-Slavery reforms. Look at all these
movements, and be not discouraged-perse
we're unto the end. Quoting from the saint
a ed Charming, she said, "Mighty powers are
/; at work, and who shall stay them?" She
SAID tie sdnted Channing, because of the
n good works he had DONE II seemed TO her,
;, after his death, as she sat alone in her room,
thinking of him, his presence was with her,
s. and the halo of his divinity round about her.
r IN regard to this movement she snid-he or
;, she who is least in the kingdom, is greater
" than these. She alluded to the writings Of
n Jane Eyre, Harriet Martineau, Mary Howitt
). in terms of appreciation, and sign of prom
c. Use; to Catharine Beechers appeal twenty
D., years ago on behalf of women. Then shl
!. passed TO her closing remarks. Are we no
now separating from each other with CRATE
NJ iul hearts? The day spring from OH higl
w hath visited us. We have met around thi
k altar of humanity, and though no vocal pray
Vs. ers have been offered, she trusted an oblatiol
a had arisen from our hearts. "And now
