WORCESTER "Wednesday, Oct. q.
The Convention reasscmbled this evening at
O'Clock, in Brinley Hall. The room was crowded
to excess. every seat, and aisle, and the space
around the platform being filled, men and women
standing on their feet during the whole evening
A heartfelt interest evidently pervaded the audi
ence The first speaker was
REV. WIZ. II. CHASNISG.-He advocated the
| and duty
Institutions of learning medical schools, our
COLLEGES and high schools to both sexes indlscrlm-
! inotelv. Women should be admitted to all these
privileges as her right. He alluded to the remark
ousted from a gentleman who mad objected TO
women having equal rights, because 1t would
make them manish. He said it was foolish ex-
nression There was no possibility that such a
thing could happen. Gods law OF spiritual order
could never be set aside. lie spoke OF W oman IN
the industrial pursuits. She should have the op.
portunity to use all her powers, IN every torn OF
industry she may choose. There should be no
obstacle in the way of her raising herself TO per-
sonal independence She should be trained for
! the coGuual of man in every respect. She should
be REPRESENTED in the legislation OF the country,
and the administration OF the laws. She should
have the right to sit on jury to be tired oy her
He did not know whether this would ever be
! obtained by suffrage or not but woman's judg-
mcnt and womans heart shall yet be lelt Ia the
very center of Legislation. The purity OF wisdom
and of heart which belongs to woman IS not OK
pressed in the church, nor in the state. 1t Is shut
out from the pulpit and the halls OF legislation
But there is method he would sugges1, by which
it could be made to bear on the public heart and
mind Let there be an annual Congress OF Wo-
men, to whom there shall be standard Of moral
appeal, and their influence shall be felt far and
wide, He alluded to the appeal OF Miss Catherine
Beecher in behalf of her friend. He honored her
G. 81 el-;l nd nohlh in which chp had
executed her work, and especially that it cvinced
her true womanhood. Suppose such an annual
meeting of a Congress OF w omen could be held,
in which women of years and full Of honor should
be found, and young women and then let an asso-
! citation OF orthodox cergymen uphold young
man in a course of conduct SO dishonerabe and
unmanly and the moral sentiment OF such a body
of women, in their congregated might, would fall
upon them like an avalanche. In such Congress
they might make their higher sentiments bear on
the evils OF war; of slavery and on the interests of
power and freedom. He advocated the wisdom
and proprety OF establishing orders of women-
Our Catholic friends established orders of this
kind and he did not know why Protestants might
not do the same thing. Why should there not be
an order of women composed of those who do not
choose to cucumber themselves with the ties of
marriage? and why might they not plant them
selves on domain invest their property, and en-
gage in such industrial operations as might suit
their capacities and tastes and here would be q
place, where woman, driven from the family circle
by the tyranny of a husband, brother, son, might
find home, and place for the employment of
her powers. Said he Sisters, you know I am
speaking the solemn fact when l say that there
are thousands of women, who wet their pillow
with their tears every, night in consequence of
the tyranny to which they are subjected by their
position, and who do not know where to stand
Such an order OF women would give them hope
and reliance in attempting their own emancipa
ton.
Mrs. LvcRETiA Morn said: The language Of
those who favor our cause implies degree of
kindness when they speak of giring US our rights,
permitting US to receive them; but she was not
disposed to receive them in that way she was in
favor of demanding them, in the name of our COM
mon hunauit1. She .-osol-.:... c-.....l
