The New York Women and the Temperance
Cause.

should ask for their rights by piece meal.
First secure the right TO vote on the temper
nncc question, when the lords had become n
little used to that, why like Oliver" task
for more" Some ofthe grave Doctors Of Di-
vinity in New York, have spoiled this pretty
plan; and given evidence that no such chafI
will catch the old bids. That they would
have the influence of women, utterly crush.
cd, except in its exhibition, il should recog-
Mise the masculine supremacy and control.
The occurrence was on this wise, we learn
from the Carson League.
The women oil New York, wearicd with
he tardincss and halEheartedness, with
which the temperance cause was prosecuted
under the exclusive gencralship of the men,
md especially men-mnisters and politicians,
undertook in the fllness of their hearts, to
10 something themselves. They, very mod
silly did just what might have been deemed
all things, leust objectionable. They call.
d a Convention of their own sex, and orga-
lied society to be under their own con-
'ol. They collected funds and appointed lee
.ring agents. Agents that were evidently
"a earnest aud disposed to do something.
This was too much for the pious dignity
f the New York Diyincs, and they took oc-
aston ut the Annual meeting of the Sta'o
Iemperapco Society in Syracuse, to nlisrep-
sent &insult to their faces, these true friends
humanity. And then they had just enough
m0gnnnimity,-the towards to refuse to
aOr from the women they bad abused, one
ord in their own defence. Miss Susan b.
Nuthony Of Rochester, rose TO reply, when
icy silenced her, by their inobocratic clam
RS. They afterwards by vote, cut off all fcl-
.pwsbip with these temperance women, by
ifusing 10 count the votes of the female
nembers of the society.
We don't know any hing of these minis
,3rs personally, and yet we risk nothing n
aging, that though their "virtue" and their
" Ideas" would not permit them to co-ope-
ate, no not for an hour with these women,
gho are among the truest and the best Of the
temperance host; yet, true to their natures,
they would fight with equal zeal, for the
privilege of fellowshiping as brethren at
the communion table, men who ilog women
upon the bare back and sell their own
daughters for prostitution.
There had crept into the annual Report of
the Society, an implied commentator Of
the Women's Society. This was made the
occasion of the outbreak.
Rev. Dr. Mandevlle of Albany said
"woman in her sphere is the most beautiful
work of God. She is greatly to be admired
in the domestic circle, and in the deveIope-
ment of her peculiar virtues. lie would
yield to no man in his admiration of the le-
male character. But when woman goes out
of her sphere, when she goes miles attended
or unattended, TO make speeches in BIoomcr
Costume or not, ! say she unsexes herself
she is hibrd. wish to nip thi. in the bud.
1t is the first step. They have delegates on
this floor-l therefore move to erase that
part Of the report. If you allow anything of
that kind to mix up with your labors, you
will seriously injure your cause. ! for one
cut myself loose from IT, 1t is against my
convictions of duty, of virtue, and humanity.
raise my voice against this measure. This
is an outrage upon our ideas"
DR.. NJ. was warmly seconded; snys the
League "by score of other cergymen."-
w. II. Burlcigh, author of the report, made,
(what as reported, in the Lengue) was n
sneaking defence. He said they had nothing
to do with women's rights, true enough, why
then did they not let them exercise their
rights that his abstract views might not diff
fer from Mr.. Mandeville's.
As the women could not be heard in their
own defence, Samuel j, May and others ex-
posed their nssailant, vindicnted their action,
g. highly eulogized their devotion to lhe.tem-
perance cause, especially did they commend
tho labors of Miss Anthony, the lady whom
they had mobed down in their assembly
In the evening large audience assembled in
the Wesleyan church, and were addressed by
S. J. May. Miss Anthony and others. Mrs.
Stanton MS President of tie Womens State
Society has since issued an appeal to the
women of New York. II is worth printing
in Ohio and we give il below.
DIR. Vaudeville and his associates are in
good hands. And we venture to say, will
come off second best in this conflict of their
own seeking. Their theology may be dam
aged 10y il, bur neither temperance, women's
rights or any other interest of humanity will
be the ooser
