viii fail TO peTuse the lengthy and graphic report of
the first days proceedings of the Women's Rights
Convention, at Syracuse, together with the tee-
graphic s5ncpsis of the curious transactions the
second day These ladies are evi lently making up
for lost time in the way Of public speaking, and
now going on at a rate which must convince every
body that, although they may have been deprived of
all other rights they have not been tongue tied
Many Of them are shrewd too, and make most capital
speeches-speeches which not few of the p-omi
nent political orators, of all parties, might take
pattern from, with profit to themselves, and benefit
TO the causes they advocate. But thea, these
who Justify fighting for what they claim their
rights, at variance with each other, neverthe-
less; issues have sprung up among them, and they
somewhat divided, like the barnburners and
hunkers among the democrats, or the unonists and
free sellers among the wings, and the Hale and
Goodell men among the abolitionists Mrs. Clarissa
Nichols yesterday defined her political position by
remarking that it had been stated she favored
Pierce and King, but she wished it understood that
she did not stand on pro slavery platform. How
ever, it is understood that these women variously
advocate the claims of the Presidential candidates
of al parties with the utmost zeal, and will vote
for them, too if they can get an opportunity. Mrs.
jones yesterday wished to have parliamentary
rules observed in the business of the convention bit
Lucy Stone speedily demolished this proposition and
annihilated the men in the breath, much to the
OBLIGATION of all present. From present appear
ances these women seem to have got theirrights ali
mixed up together in solid bunch, and each one
is pulling at her own particular share in her own
way regardless Of the exertions Of her neghbor in
an opposite direction They will get it all straight
after while. Enough said. Read the report

One or two items of information this morning are
of rather melancholy character. n. H Crist, who

published some weeks ago, from the young wife of
Crist, in which she stated that she believed him to
be innocent, but at the same time implored him, if
