is doing all this I Why, the strapping wo-
men of the northern cities, TO be sure the
Amazons, the blue-stockings, the fierce Lucre-
tia Motifs and Harriet Hunts Of New York and
Boston, who are tired Of rocking the cradle of
innocent childhood, and washing the shirts of
heardhearted manhood. These patriotic
Bloomers were in session last week at Syra-
cuse, and fer aught we know, may be in ses-
sion now-and, faith, it is possible they may
remain in session all the time for il is no rare
hing to see in ouT northern exchanges, a CO.

"WOMAN'S RIGHTS CONVENTION"
Under this head we find recorded some of the
richest proceedings that il has ever been our
fortune to read. We propose to give few
specimens, in order that our readers may enjoy
the fun.
Among this army Of she.roes there is a Rev.
Mrs. Palmita, who is a perfect high-pressure
steamboat. She gave il to the male tyrants in
fine style. She said the other day that she
chad preached the risen Savior Is years. A
preacher had told her that woman was the
wickedest. She referred to it in her next dis
course. rib taken from man was formed in-
to woman and was accepted as bone of his
bone and flesh of his flesh. If one rib was so
wicked, what a mass of wickedness the whole
man must be-" This threw the whole assem-
bly, into convulsions-of laughter, of course.
Then there is Mrs. Lucy Stone, who goes i'll
strong for the rights of women. She spake as
follows:

liked this discussion. Women must carry on
this movement themselves. Be loyal to wo-

A Mrs. Nichols, in defining her political pc

Pierce and King, but she sent the platform TO

no doubt she meant it. She likewise said she

married or not. We presume not. Lucretia

names reported purporting to be those of men,
attached to this convention. The whole thing
is curious, and leads to one grand conclusion,
which is, that the women of the North must
be under the dominion Of tyran is, or else they
are far different race of beings from the
daughters Of the South. We never hear OF
any thing like this at the South. Here, the
women rest satisfied with their present rights

the hinges of society never get loose. Deliver
