The Rights of Woman.

A great Convention of uneasy women has
been held lately at Akron, Ohio, at which Mrs.
Emily Robinson, Mrs. Swisshclm, Mrs. Coe,
and others figured largely. We never hear of
anything of this sort, without being reminded
of that famous line of Nirgil's: Tdrium ct
mutabilc, scmpcr .tdmind,' and Timothy Pea
cocks still more famous translation thereof, to
wit " Simperlng females will mutiny without
variety" Whatever our classical readers may
think of the lteralness of Tirnothy's rendering,
its truth to nature will be acknowledged by
all. Women rrW mutiny. Notwithstanding
the excellent discipline they have been under
from time immemoral, notwithstanding much
That il submissive IN tme. character, experience
is constantly teaching Us that the meekest of
them will occasionally become restless, and
manifest uncquvocal signs of characterization.
They have always aspired to the supreme com
mand of the domcsticshp. Not content with
being considered the real directors, they seek
to don the cpaulets and pace the quarter deck.
Not content to remain at home, "whcle they be-
long" and cheer their husbands on through the
woes of life, with the gentle voice of comfort
and encouragement, they yearn to take part in
the contest and enter the brecch, broomstick in
hand. But we are wandering from the Con
vention and its dongs. Mrs. Emily Robinson
presided, and on taking the Chair, made good
speech. Emily thought the men had no bust
ness to hold the rcins of government they
didn't know any more than the women, and in
many things not half us much. Emily was about
right there Mrs. Swlsshe I'm was more modest
in her demands. Doubtless, being IA widow,
she thought twouldn't do to be too exacting,
lest her chances for reelection might be ell

A Mr.. Barker also told his experience. lie

miserable. She wouldn't "spin ii thread But
the moment he surrendered the reins of govern

course, any fool would know that Mrs. Coe

bands at home, was only to be obeyed when a
woman had one, and decent one at that. She
related many anecdotes tending to show that
women can fgh notwithstanding the unmanly

The Bogus Convention.


II is generally admitted on all sides, we be-
ieve, that the Wing portion of the petty lar-
ceny party" and the old liberty men, did not re-
ceive at the Convention, the other day, that
"pure milk Of the word" which ia SO especially
"reireshin' 10 the veterans of the political
Cross. Many Of the shrewder ones probably
suspected, from the language of the call, that
an attempt would be made to induce the free
Democracy ~ fail from their high estate, and
return To the "weak and beggarly elements Of
the world" but they were hardly prepared to
witness such an open and unbushing acknowl.
edgment of tie bnsin ness of the Coalition Of last
year; such a willingness, on the part of their
leaders, to ignore their distinctive party name
and such manifest desire TO make all smooth
for speedy reunion with the National Democ-
racy. 1t was particularly fortunate Tor the
Convention, that the Fugitive Slave Act was in
existence, and that speakers from abroad were
present to occupy tieir attention in its DENIM
citation, otherwise there would have been a
"row." Men who are Free Sellers from prin-
ciple, have no idea OF going back" at the base
instigation Of those who are not, for by such a
course they loose every thing, and gain Moth
ing. 1t is not the honest portion of party that
receive the benefit resulting from surrender
/ OF principles, change of name, and party or
ganzaion their principles are their all. and
they love their name AS expressive of those
principles, and when they give up these, they
have nothing left. But dcnagogues possessed
of no principles, caring for nothing save snc
cess, are always ready to sell themselves ant
their party too, at the faintest prospect of vic
tory or the most distant snuff Of the fumes o
"pot:age.'
The course Of the Free Soil party in Thu
State, in 30 far as its leaders were allowed tC
dictate, abundantly veriiies the truth of thcs'
remarks. We never had any respect for tn,
motives, or confidence in the intentions OF til,
leaders of that interesting "mlsceany.' AM
we are uncharitable enough to suspect tina
many Of them are, at this moment, actually ga
that the Fugitive Slave Bill passed. Had tina
