From the Dsltas correspondent n
New York, we learn. that:
1.-THE women who petitioned the
Convention that females might be
placed on the same footing, in the
new Constitution, with regard to polit-
ical affairs, as men were, have received
a very curt leave to withdraw. The
chairman Of the Committee 10 whom
their petition was referred, had brot
in. previously, an adverse report, ii
which he argued the question in 4
very ingenious manner, giving briefly
the reasons which led the committee
to their conclusions. This report
seemed to some OF the members ofthe
Convention to be giving too great i'm
portance to the subject, and conse-
quently it was moved by one Of the
liialcohtehts that the whole Of the re-
port, after the word resolved" should
be stricken out, and the words "that
the petitioners have leave to withdraw"
be inserted in their place.
Mr.. Amasa Walker, was the only
champion for the ladies iii the house !;
he boldly contended that tout Of
mere respect to the sex" they should
be treated differently--that a motion
to lay on the table was out Of order
that the petitioners were liberal and
enlightened citizens-the very moth
ers and daughters OF the Republic, and
as such they, and their petition should
be considered. The right Of pet
ition-the right that the venerable
John @. Adams contended for, was now
about to be invaded and trampled up
on, and it could not meet his counten-
anee, CHEERS from the gallery.) After
his speech the ladies' petition was
very appropriately referred back to
standing committee.
