THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.
WOmah's Rights Convention.

We are indebted to friend for the following
note from Ravenna, relative to the proceedings
Of the Convention on the first day.
"The meeting has been so far highly inter-
esting. 1t is numerously attended. and all ap-
pear to DO interested.
"The Business Committee, this morning, re-
ported a series Of Resolutions, declaring equal
ity Of Rights for the human race. The discus
sions have been upon the resolutions. Mis
Antoinette Brown addressed the convention in q
speech Of great clearness and power, and was
followed by Joseph Barker, who spoke ably,
forcibly, and TO the point. His remarks, how
ever, stirred up several clerical gentlemen, con-
sidernbly, some Of whom seem to fear that his
manner of advocating tho cause, will "put
back the movement" AS these men seem never
to have been enlisted in the reform, they are
perhaps not the best men to give such warning,
or express such fears.
:" They charged Mr.. Barker with dragging
the Bible, and the principles and character of
John Wesley, before the meeting. And one Of
them charged him with slandering the latter
They however came off second best, and con-
vinced a majority of the audience, that II was
not the Bible ard the Church, but Mr.. Barker's
views on these subjects that they were unwil-
ling to have brought before the meeting. Some
of the timid, however, cried out before they
were hurt, for it was the clerical views of ex-
traneous matter, if anyhody's that were brought
before the meeting. Mr.. Darkers remarks were
quite relevant, ana not at all liable to any rea-
sonablc objection on the ground complained Of.
"At the evening session, Mrs. i. Il. Coo,
gave an eloquent and powerful address, which
was listened to with brcathless attention"
