Womnn for Temperance.

A call has been issued for WOmen's State
Temperance Convention at Rochester on the
10Th inst eve give 1t below.) AS suggestions
from friends Of the cause are invited, we make
the following:
II is wise, il is well, to hold Womens Tenn
perance meetings until such time as Men and
Women shall, more freely and equally than hith-
erto, cooperate in the promotion of Temperance.
Yet the first Woman's State Temperance Con-
vention at Albany was very thinly attended F; we
can only hope that this will be otherwise. To
render il efficient, we would propose:
l. Let none but Women be admitted at tn
preliminary and business meetings. We would
urge this in the outset of the movement in order
that Women may act without embarrassment,
and gradually become farniliarized to independ
ent action in the premises.
2. Have no report Of speeches, and no speech
exceeding fifteen minutes, except by unanimous
request OF the meeting.
3 Let the subject for discussion be proposed
at the outset and strictly adhered to q BY what
means can the influence of Woman be rendered
most efficient in REFRESHING Intemperance and
the LiquvI YrsGe p
A. After due discussion let the feasibility and
utility Of the several propositions be adJudged
by direct vote OF all the members.
s. Let two or three Women be chosen report
ers 10 the Convention, charged with the duty OF
preparing synopsis of all the propositions and
the arguments thereupon for publication.
G. Let public meetings be held on the evening
of each day Of the Convention, and addressed
by eminent advocates OF tho cause, whether
Men or Women.
7. Lei the vast Importance of thorough, per-
yading Organization and of monthly Tract Dis
tribution be ever insisted on.
Here is the call for the Convention;

sponsiole for the continuance of this vice oy enoo
