EDITOR of the FREEMAN: -
The Merchants from the interior have made |
their semi-annual purchases, much earlier than
usual; and it is claimed that even now the
fall trade is pretty we'll consumated. The con-
sequence of this is that almost every depart
ment of business is dull Many of the down
town mechanics have been partially unem-
ployed for the last two or three weeks-some
ofthem entirely so.

ton of the winter, and perhaps some new

know that the friends of the movement" will
answer me, by pointing with an air of triumph
to the many laws passed, Of late years, in Eu-
rope and in this country, for the betterment Of
the social condition of women, and that they
will claim that all these Improvements are the
legitimate fruits of just sush agitation as is
now going on, increaseingly,in America, Great
Britain, and France. This may be true, to a
certain extent, but it does not prove that the
best means have been, or are now being
adopted, to secure the desired ends. 1t would
be strange, indeed, if, after so much labor,
nothing were effected What substantially
contend for is that an improvement in the con-
dition of women must be looked for in the
same source as an improvement in the condi-
ton of men. We are all in false positions
> and so will both men and women ever be, un-
until education is based upon scientific prinei-
pies.
The ladies appear to have fallen into the
orror of supposing that the evils of which they
complain are peculiar to their sex. 1--WE can
not" say they, "develope our nature; we are
shut up to one career; there is no scope for
our talent; there are no great prizes for which
we may contend" Dear ladies, is not this
: the case with most of as, also? Are not men
bound about on every side, by all sorts of re-
strictious and limitations? Is not each of US
usually confined to one career; and are not
most of US excluded from participation in the
races far great prizes?
However, the dear creatures, God bless
t them! are in many instances shamefully used
:, there's no denying that. If, therefore, in
their efforts to secure their just rights, they
mistake in the feverish excitement of revolu.
ton, their perverted desires for their rights
: and insist upon being police officers, captains
L of steamboats,, &C., l am disposed, for one, tc
look kindly and pleasantly upon their exager-
ations. Men sometimes err little, themselves
not often or much, of course,-but still they
do sometimes err-that is a facL-They
r should, therefore, be charitable.
