WOMEN or THE STATE.
The Committee appointed to draft form Of
Petition State Legislature 10 be used By the
Women OF the State, present the above as expressive
of Woman's peculiar needs and desires.
In presenting this petition to their sisters who are
aborng for the salvation of the race from nes
the Committee would earnestly urge upon all the ne
cessty of early and perseyering effort in order 70 %
cure as large number of signatures possible toh
petitions Although we have hitherto met with dis~
pointment and defeat we yet have TO feel lea,
coursged by the success which has crowned the eao
of our brethren in other States and by the improved
public sentiment which preva Is throughout our landia
regard to the vice Of Intemperance.
Womsn has not yet done her whole duty in this mat
ter Her influence and power have not been fully ex
erted nor exerted Alright She has great responabi
iiy resting upon hor-a great work DO She may not
cit idle while enemy is stalking through the land,
blghting and destroying everything in his path She
may fold her hands while her husband s in danger
OF being slain by this fearful foe. She may keep
silent when this monster threatens her hons
circle and dag from thence the children OF her love,
to corrupt and destroy them body and SOUL forever
She cannot hold her peace and be justified when they
who are chosen protect her rights prove unaithfu
to their duty, and instead Of guarding her home and
property, turn loose upon society set of knayes and
robbers to strip her of ALL and reduce her beggsry
and starvation. Had Woman fully understood her
rights and dutieshad she felt the weight of respons
bility resting her and faithfully discharged her obi
cations to society and to herself-the vice
Drunkenness, and ts kindred evils, would long '1et
have ceased TO the IL now becomes her to-
TO full of this great evil, and Of the
tent Of her responsibility and power aud 10y her
uniirDg and determined efforts in future accomplish
what she has failed to do in days that are past
We esrnestly call upon the Women Of our State to
rise in their strength and by united cry demand Of
Legislature the prohibiton Of the Liquor Traffic.
True petitions have been sighted hitherto; but
this instead Of Encouraging should nerve us to more
determined action; and this should be continued I'LL
our prayers are listened to- and granted Ii our Leg
isators will not grant protection Of our
necessities, they may at last be moved TO do 90 be-
cause Of our importantly
