Tar PHocRRpINGs OF THE WoMAss RIGHTS CosvsH.
TON held at Worcester, Massachusetts October, 1850
Republshed by Prentiss Sawyer, Boston, Massachu-
setts Pp. -
This was the third Convention of the kind held
in the country, aud the most important. 1t num-
bered over three hundred members from the
States of the Union among these were several
persons Of distinction in the reform movements
of the day
The opening address by the President elect,
PAULINE w. Davis is one of great literary merit !;
the style is bold and terse, uniting purity and
strength of dicton. Her propositions, which are
general, are based upon the laws of our nature,
and the argument displays much logical acumen
She claims for woman an equality with man-not
in the matter Of bone and muscle--as conflict for
physical superiority is fast passing away with the
ruder forms Of animal existence and the relics Of
b,rbarism, but in the higher intellectual and
moral nature; and the claim is not inferred from
the supposed equality of the sexes in these prop
critics, but from the condition and destiny of both
Upon the broad ground that the Creator made the
human soul progressive, each faculty for its high
est improvement and use, she would have the sex
placed in position to best develop and perfect
her nature. To accomplish this, woman must
have more freedom, as liberty and progress are
ever insepsrable
There are articles Of much merit from the pens

DANIEL WEBSTER,
Scraary Of STATE.
A Proclamation of this sort should be reserved
for great occasions. Sovereignty with its extra
ordinary symbols Of power should not march
into the arena, when its ordinary instrumental
ties will answer the purpose. IL the President,
every time a row is kicked up" about runaway
negro, gets out Proclamation, and makes bare
his military arm, he and his Proclamations will
soon be as little regarded the slave-hunter and
his handbills What is the sum and substance
of the awful transac ion which has occasioncd this
rare exhibition of high resolve on the part Of the
Chief Executive A deputy marshal with half
dozen aids, has been frightened, but not hurt,
while an alleged fugitive from service, embold-
ened by the presence of collection Of people of
his own color, walked ont of his custody. No
body was killed, nobody wounded, nobody hit.
Deputy Marshal Riley WAS scared, and Shadrach

Fillmore and his Secretary, Daniel Webster,

Boston were in state of revolution.
The Rpubhc quotes the account given by
Elizur Wright Of the affair, and from il we cx-
tract so much as relates to the escape Of the al
legged fugitive
"We reached the courtroom about halfplst

in the room except the Deputy Marshal, Riley,
four or FIVE assistants, the prisoner and FIVE Of
his friends besides ourself.
awe staid and conversed with the prisoner an
intelligent, smart-looking man, who planted him
self on the Declaration Of Independence and the
Bible We assured him that we thought he WAS
right in 80 doing The few friends, after few
minutes consultation, withdrew, leaving only
one free coored brother and oursclf with the
marshal, his posse, and victim. We were on the

Just at this moment circumstance occurred
which was over in less time than it will take us TO

Thursday night last, had on board thirty souls,
including one female, passengers and crew
Whilst the vessel was laying side up in the
trough of the sea, all dashed themselves to the
rigging. Shortly after the deck parted, when
the hull turned bottom side up, carrying down
all except ten, who succeeded in disengaging
themselves from the wreck. They subsequent
ly got hold of the pilot house deck, but before
morning all but three had been washed off,
David Keefe, with the first mate and wheel
man, then succeeded in getting hold of pole,
and a piece of carpet. The pole was then
placed in the stove pipe hole and the carpet
made use of for SAIL with which they made
some progress until s o'clock, when the brig
John Martin bore down and threw a rope,
which Keefe succeeded in grasping. He was
dragged through the water about quarter of
mile. holding on to the rope. Meantime, by
his hands. he finally succeeded in getting on
board the brig. but saw nothing of his two
companions on the raft after he left it. The
propeller was commanded by Capt Callard,
who was formerly an officer from the Texan
navy and was also the inventor of signal Ian
tern for distinguishing vessels al sea.
