IBB MAINE LlQCoR Law ALILANCE-REBEI-
LION IN THE RANKS There is rebellion-rauk
open mouthed, re Selon-in the camp OF the tenn
psrarce army ofthis country. The proceedings
at the various highly interesting aud exceed
in ely funny conventions in this city, during the
past two weeks, have resulted in discord, IN
open-mouthed mutiny. in q succession of squab-
bles. which, taken all together, have raised
precious row among the brethren and the sis
terhood, and it win be sometime before we hear
the last of it.
The Worlds Temperance Convention"
which closed its labors yesterday, has, in the
exercise of it's unparalleled despotism driven
out Of the orthodox temperance organization
the following important detachments Of its late
allies, to witt
/. The Boomers and all the Woman's Rights
associations, in the ungallant expulsion Of the
Rev. Miss Brown.
2. The abolitonists, infdels, socialists, ANAL
gsmationists and vegetarians in the turning
out of W endell Phillips.
g., The free colored American sons and
daughters of temper ance and vegetables, in the
Sojourner Truth.
The Rev. Miss Brown, after contending for
her woman's rights with the spirit Of Spar
tan. was ignominiously put out by the police.
And when we consider that a special convcn-
ton by the sisterhood was simultaneously sit
ting at the Tabernacle. we are amazed at the
bodness Of Neal Dow and his temperance men
ia treating Miss Brown as they did. They will
suffer for it yet. Let them remember that
Wendell Phillips, the abolition shadow Of poor
old Garrison, following him through thick aud
thin, was turned out unquestionably from the
simple reason that they didn't want such com
pany He and his adherents will not forget it.
Fred. Douglass will 60 back to Rochester under
the suspicion that he was elected because he
was black man; and MCune Smith has
already denied that this a. a Worlds Conven-
ton, because in his rejection the entire CONT
nent of Africa was left unrepresented Liberia
and all.
Thus stands the case, then. This Worlds
Temperance or Maine Law Convention, headed
by Neal Dow, the founder Of the aforesaid
statute, has turned adrift the Woman's Rights
party, male and female black and white,
the socialists, the amalgamationists, the inf
dels, the yegetarians, and the free cOlOred
Americans. Downing C. K.) judiciously kept
aloof He had other shell-fsh to fry. We
rather think that Downing entertains strong
sentiment Of disgust at the idea Of mixing wo-
mans rights and the rights Of free colored
Americans together. If Fred. Douglass and
MCune Smith had been as wise they would
not have burnt their fingers in the rash at
tempt to mix in on the same platform with Vir-
ginians and South Carolinians. But what is to
follow from these proceedings, excluding Miss
Brown. Phillips, Douglass, and Smith, from the
holy cause Of temperance? Agitation? Of
course. What else ? Very likely separate
Maine law coalition movement, comprising the
abolitioniste, the strong-minded women and
free colored Americans all over the North in
opposition to Neal Dow and the orthodox
Maine law party. Thus the house will be d.
vided--is, indeed, already divided-against
ITSELF What then ? The Scriptures say that
such house can't stand It can't. And thus
the Maine law, which, from and after this
Worlds Convention, was to have swept the
whole country, is crippled in q miserable
sqnabble with fugitive slaves, Boomers, and
abolitionists. How strange! Great country
this, any how.
