feel that there is one slight objection 70 of the
resolutions which had the honor 20 efferan 0blec-
ton not Of the heart but OF the head. The obJec-
ton may be made that women are meddiing in
politics | believe that women IN the whole
world have always meddled in politics, but
You have told US, in some instances not to
much good purpose. But there is one woman IN
America who has meddled in your history with an
extent and power of learning and courage greater
thaS thai of any other, and what is better IN antic
patton of any body else, by more than two years
time. There is one woman IN America Mrs Mary
Putnsml who must make 1t vain for anybody else
TO say that women have not the intelligence and
power to NEEDLE most efficiently and potently IN
political questions, Sir, they do not propose TO
NEEDLE with votes, but they propose to NEEDLE with
their pens, and TO have their fingers In II in some
way. Laughter Verify, the Women OF America
would take up the Hungarian cause If the men could
possibly be induced 10 let 1t Co. and If the and

y our hope is not Ill founded and VIII make the
same observation which | made in private inter
view with you, that 1t may be Endorsed by this as
semby, namely, that the heart-stTings OF the women
are the purse strings of the men. tGreat applause
And very unfortunate II Is that II is So for We have
high authority for saying the women are wiser than
the men. Yes, Sir, wish to say that in serious
tone Of voice because mean what say, and it's
owing to this circumstance, that the women move
more under the direct inspiration ofthe Almighty The
men have their faculties turned outward to catch the
wistom Of the world, while the women move m do

of nature, with little children, Ike whom we are
taught that We must become II We would enter the
kingdom OF heaven. Thus her wisdom, though not
" ordly, is deeper and holier thing Sir there are
times and occasions when our passions teach our

Sir there is anotheT why the women OF Amer
lea viii take hold Of this cause America is the
mans country, and have high authority for saying
so-the authority OF great geographer, who said |
that Providence had some eye TO the rule that there
should be male and female when he made the two |
continents, 10 stand IN the relation OF man and
man and that your continent, so we'll represented
here, was the mans continent, but America is the
won ans contEent. Now, that bachelor, your con-
tinent, lived I'LL late IN hte before he was married
1t is only two hundred years or so that he took
II into his head to make proposals to the other
continent, and when Columbus, that pontifex
maximus, that great high priest, who pro-
came to the knowledge of America, and united
IN closer bonds the man Of the eastern CONT
nent with the woman of the western 1t is in truth

imentS to try in civilization but to try how far the
omen, admitted to the full rights of humanity, and
respected as the equal IN intellect in wisdom, and
IN judgment aid in solving the problem Of prov

hu man sympathy that when we come to walk not
by sight but by faith and the noble impulses OF hui
N anity, 1t Is no Of the Least consequence whether
We know where We are going or not lApplause.l
That is the great suth which needs to be expounded
"a truth which hope the women of America will
teach our countrymen. One OF the chief fenclhes
OF our cause IT, that when We commit ourselves 10
nobody but God can tell what II VIII
come to but for one, and believe the women OF
America ready to abide by their principles, and
trust to the instincts Of their own humane hearts.
One word and have done. 1t is money that we
want. Is there any thing mean, Is there any thing
unworthy in the request. II our Lord and Mas
ter could tell Peter 70 put his hook into the
sea to get a piece Of money out Of the mouth
of the fsh to pay tribute to tyrant, how
much more shall we be ready TO take piece OF
money out Of the human hand, 10 pay tribute to that
goddess, Liberty who is the lawful sovereign OF all
Kingdoms. Shall we not believe that we have
most undoubted right, therefore, without the least
departure from the utmost propnety OF female iife
to ask the women Of America TO support the reso-
lutions which have had the honor TO present.
