The Female Dress.

We understand that a New York house has recently
transmitted order to Paris for invoice of dress
goods ntendedor ladies street dresses. We give the
following description from a New York paper:
"The skirt comes little below the knee and buttons
IN fron-the waist is plain and also butoned in front
The border extends round the skirt and in front the
bottom of the wais-she latter being cut to have the
border form the letter v. The made loose
gathered into band at the ancle."
The Springfield Republican says that several of the
dresses for ladies', consisting of short dress and
trowsers appeared in the of that Saur
day.
This would doubtless be very handsome and conven
lent dress and adopted would be abandoned
for it has and for its advocacy and
is bound succeed The present unseemy and
brous dress had its origin in another age when the rights
of was recognized-perhaps by some jealous
husband prevent the rapid flight of his wife, Ladies
dresses are delicate things for gentlemen to touch but
the question is up for discussion add
tmony in favor of the proposed change. Some very
stve ladies to have their modesty shocked at the
very dea whilst they would admire the present dress,
that with the long flowing skirts sweep the ground,
whilst the bosom is barred the gaze of admiring
world In such cases would not little elevation each
end be decided Improvement The Turkish or the
Chinese custom may be perfect, but certain
that great improvements could be made in the present
fashion of female attire and the advocates of womans
rights in this particular would as richly deserve silver
pitcher as did our friend Robert Dale Owen for his effort
them their personal rights. An entire
change is scarcely to be looked for but much may be
accomplished which will add to the comfort and beauty
of woman's dress We know there a sensible lady
among readers but will agree that theory right.
Their timdity may prevent their carrying into prac
tice.

TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 8, 1851.

G- Schuyler Colax, Editor of thS South Bend Regis
ter has been nominated by the wings candidate for
Congress in the ninth District, in opposition to DIR.
Fitch, the late member. Mr.. Cofax is a wing Of the
Greedy and Seward school, is young ofrespectabe
talents, and good regulations but differ with the In
diana Journal in its assertion that he will be over
match for Dr. Fitch the stump. Fitch is one of the
best stump speakers in the State and we do hope that
Mr.. Collax may be willing meet him and canvass the
district with him. This will test the matter The man
who can ride seventy miles in a day, and make two
speeches. can't be beaten Colfax if he to IN
earnest, has long chase before him. Let him charge
Fitch the Journal does of violating his pledges, and
let there be fair and open discusson-no bush whackng
no still hunting.

70 The Editor of the Madison Courier in letter
from Indianapolis, says:

man, left, yesterday considerably Modified toward:
the B. free-soilers."
Insnuaton is the meanest of all modes Of attack; anC
the political Ishmaclte who disgraces the Democratic
Tripod Madison, by this nsnuaon intends to charge
Col. German with yielding to free-sosm, the charge
is false and malicious. Col. German is Democratic
candidate for Congress, made by the unanimous nom
nation of Democratic Convention, and this Gar
Der can have other object in attacking him, bu

continued assaults we are informed are without any
provocaton whatever. Col. German has said or don'
nothing to give offence.
