AhO hoNiNS AuFNh'
The first number Of the Ladies' Paper has
appeared. 1t consists Of sixteen large, well
printed pagcs-each page having an orna-
mental border. Besides an original story, by
| Alice Cary, It contains great variety Of mat
/ ter more or less interesting, the greater part
of which was written expressly Tor the paper
/ The typcis set by female compostors. The
editor advocates the principle that womens
wages should be raised to the standard of
mems in all cases in which the labor done is
equal in quality and quantity to that Of men.
At the same time, he is utterly opposed to the
ridiculous pratiug females of the Womens
Rights Conventions. The terms Of the Lu.
dies Paper are two dollars year. Address

York.-Ho Jouradk
1t gives us pleasure TO notice that some Of
our sex arc taking ground against those ru-
inous and inddelic principles advocated by
Women's Rights Conventions.
The attempt made by many Of their num-
Der, to put down and destroy churches, de-
serves most decided rcbuke and cannot fail
to meet the contempt of the good everyVhere
! Religion is the very toundatiOn of the pres.
cnt high social position OF women and no wo.
man surely, except u fanatic, could wish 20 de-
stroy that foundation. Some of the younger
members of these conventions are quite wise
above what is written, advocating, among other
ridiculous and absurd doctrines, that divorces
| should be granted for drunkenness dc. II
/ these ladies should have leisure to read the
sermon delivered BY tho great Lawgiver on
the mount, long time ago, they could not
fail 30 see how expressly he has Jorjidlea di-
vorces except for one cause only. How wild
and fanatica is the idea Of ertendiRg the in
fluence OF their sex by giving them the elect
i've franchise. Every true hearted and intel

are the responsibilities of wives, mothers. and
! daughters Of America? As to the elective
franchise who will say she cannot control the
ballot box, without deposting therein n
single vote? Are not our rulers and Leuis-
lators men whose characters and hearts have
been moulded by woman as she would
And are they not bound to US still by the
strongest ties that can exist on earth-those
which cement the home circle?
With regard 10 the evils which exist in the
world, woman is surely as much to blame
as much -complained-o of men. The moral
tone ofpublicscntiment is ever elevated as

ism, in public haranging about the hearIless-
ness of the church, and the hypocracy of hen
ministers-6ut in womanly modesty and dig
nifty, in virtue and knowledg that fit her fol
queen, not Of nation, but Of The socia! and
home circle.
That the avenues to female industry, might
with propriety, be much increased, is very
true. But this can be done without the aid
OF Woman's Rights Conventions, or nsexeo
women and men. Let any lady who is quail
fled and disposed to labor in any honest in
dustrous avocaton, do SO; but let her do il
decently and q ly, and without silly pa

men reared by just such mothers rs thes,
Woman's Rights women, themselves would
make. More on this subject again.
