The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1853-07-02

round her heart at the thought that her
peculiar sentiments-whian she would
honestly utter il called upOn-might be
in opposition to those chivaIrous and Gas
Florence considered antiluafed opin-
ions Of her lover. Notwithstanding
that stole Indifference which the "wom-
ems rights party strive to incuIcate to
establish opinions and uSages, the spirit
of woman will naturally shrink before,
and look up to, as it were, the man on
whom she places all her hopes Tor tutare
happiness, while resident OF this mum
dane sphere. She knows too we'll if he
fail in the great voyage Of life that her
brightest anticipations must be lnevita-
bly, wrecked with him. Hence it was
that Florence felt painful forehoIing
OF future evil when Julia brought for
ward the subject of Woma@'S Righh.
They talk OF sphere" said Fred
erick in reply toJuIia's remarks, "whose
duties they cannot define, and cIanor
for rights, which, fgranted, womanilom
her very nature could bu. partially en-
joy.'
Il fear cousin Florence will differ in
opinion with you, Mr.. Collin" Julia
replied with a smile, casting her eyes
aSkance at her cousin"
"Ah! and is the whole s0ulnd Flor
enCe convert to the new doctrine ~
Frederick said, laughing as though h"
considered the whole matter a good joke.
~ hat she is sincere in her professions
none can doubt who know tler, and We
may hope to have a full exposition of
the creed of this new sect, which--to
own my duiIneSs--l have been ever
unable to fully comprehend."
"No doubt cousin Florence can grat-
ify your Wishes" Julia said ''to: ab"
adopts no principle without thoroughly
understanding its nature"
Il acknowledge the compliment Of
cousin Juiia,' returned Florence effect
ing raIlying Manner but being much
more apt in analysis than |, she is doubt
less able to explain the Enotty points Of
doctrine to Mr.. Collins more Satla.Acto-
rly."
,By no means, nv dear coz. for [
know but that little concerning the new
creed you taught me-"
The candid Florence was thus either
forced into vindicaion OF her progress
Stre principles, or compelled to back
out. The frank and gen rous nature Of
the maiden, together with her pnDAu.i-
astic devotion to the cause Of her sex,
induced her TO make bold stand in the
former positign.
"Yhe resolutions referred to are very
simple, and need only to be read, in or
der to be understood. The purport OF
taem is. that the members of said con-
yention have resolved to prosecute the
enquiry into woman's present position,
and also her natural sphere Of action;
not merely as an ordinary domestic or
necessary adjunct in society; but as a
rational being, endowed with reasoning
powers, and possessing certain 0na.sen-
able rights not distinct from those Of
man: among which are numbered, (Je,
