The Worlds Temperance Convention To-
Day, md the woman's Rights Convention.
Lucy Stone and her temperance allies
Greeley and his bran-bread disciples, strong
minded women and weak-headed men-Garri-
son and his rampant abolitionists, Greeley, Miss
Lucy and company, and the whole vegetarian
and womans rights tribe inclusive, in their va
rious meetings last week, gave us very con-
siderable insight into the mysteries of vegeta-
BILE and cold water socialism. But the results
of all their labors may be summed up in three
words--gas twaddle, nonsense. They nomi-
mated neither cold water, nor woman 8
rights, nor yet vegetable ticket for the No
vember election. They spoke much-they re-
commended many things; but they did no
thing.
But this week d more formidable, because q
more respectable. more extensive, more talent
ed, and more regularly organized onslaught is
to be made upon John Barleycorn and his allies,
in the Worlds Temperance Convention, which
meets at Metropolitan Hall to-day, at
10 o'clock. and the sessions of which
are to continue for four days. Last spring,
by resolution, the strong minded wo-
men were ruled out of this convention and
hence the Independent demonstrations of Miss
Lucy Stone AID company of last week. winding
up with the squash festival of Saturday night,
and the supplemental abolition orgies OF Sun
day evening. This Worlds Temperance Con-
vention, therefore, enters the arena free from
the socialist, woman's rights, vegetable and
abolition annoyances which ruled the roast at
Miss Lucy's assemblages. Such men as Dr..
Lyman Beecher, Neal Dow, Gen S. F. Cary.
Hon. J. b. O'Neal of South Carolina, John Cas-
sell. of England Rev. John P. Hunt, and other
gentlemen are named as among the speakers
expected at this convention.
Before the expiration Of the week we may
anticipate some important proceedings from
this imposing cow vocation of temperance men.
We count upon some general schedule OF ope-
rations in the political elections Of the whole
country. on the Maine law platform, by the
temperance party-aDd we are particularly
impressed with the idea that principal object
Of this convention will be to organize Maine
law movement in our State elections of
November. This may be done upon indie
pendent tempe ance candidates. or by con-
centration Of the temperance vote upon
such Maine Law candidates as may be picked
up from among the nominees Of both the ole
political parties OF by a mixed plan compre-
bending Independent Maine law candidates emily
where suitable men cannot he found among tie
uhip ar deu,ncrasic noyoira tions In tr;s M
litical view, therefore, this Worlds Temperance
Convention may be Justly regarded as an affair
Of 10 small importance WHILE apart from poll
tics and political action upon the Name Law
platform, its proceedings will excite bat little
interest and occasion but little alarm But we
suspect that from and after this convention. the
Maine law will be formally introduced as an
active element into our New York elections
If go, it is highly probable that it will b. the ba-
lance Of power IN the November contest aud,
between the two disnaDtled old parties Of the
past carry both houses of the Legislature.
Such ale some Of The probabilities connected
with this Worlds Temperance Conv ention Its
results will soon determine whether we have
over estimated or undervalued it's importance
But have the womans rights women dis
banded and cleared out? By no means Read
the following call-read it, and tremble, ye dis
believers n the socialist millennium -
The Vomens Rights Convention will assemble In
the Broadway Tabernacle IT, 10 o'clock this rues-
day morning, September Gth, and continue 10 -es
zion through 30 Gays, holJing moruing, afternoon

From this il will appear thas the mscela-
leous doings at the Metropolitan FELL iast
week we're but the prclude 70 the grand chorus,
q the mere preliminary skirmishng to tn
battle Of the Amazons which is to begin this
day at the Tabernacle. Among the speakers
