re the rrlends Of women,s Yaixhts.

Our movement has been received with
unexpectedfayor. The necessity Of some
change in the condition Of Women de.
pendent for their support on their own ex-
ertions, has been universally acknowl-
edged. Even the more radical claim 10
civil rights and 10 a change of the law Of
marriage, which SHALL give the wife equal
control with husband over the joint prop.
erty, has met with far more encourage,
ment than any one could have expected.
The press throughout the country has
been, with hardly an exception. respectful
and cordisl, and from some quarters we
have received earnest support.
1t becomes US, in these circumstances
10 avail ourselves of every opportunity,
and use faithfully all means to deepen
this impression on the public mind, and
10 raise this general good feeling into a
decided and earnest wish and resolve to
aid our enterprise. While the periodical
press, the circulation Of documents, and
lectures ii different locations are doubt
less the most reliable and permanent in
strumentaities, we cannot overlook the
great benefits likely to result from large
Conventions, held in central and populous
cities, and gathering to their sessions the
most active and deeply.interested Of our
friends. Where can we better hold these
than in New York, the commercial capital
OF the country, whose press is listened to
by the nationl And what time better for
assembling such Convention than when
the streets Of that City are crowded with
a concourse from every State in the Un'
ionl--more especially when the peculiar
circumstances under which "The W hole
Worlds Temperance Convention" as
sembles will be likely to call together
many Of the most prominent friends o
our movement
We, therefore. invite allwell wishers tc

GARRISON made a speech, and in the

comes from very distinguished Repub,

following is its conclusion. Speaking of
the Abolitionists, il says:
Let them think that the cause for which
we struggle and bleed are one sil gle
cause, not only in principle, but in the
means of success. Let them, whenever
circumstances will allow, lilt their voices
in defence Of the oppressed nations Of
Europe, and help them. Our problem
must have universal solution, or it will
