When the question came up on the tobacco resolu.
ton, Mrs. BLOoMER said this resolution was one in
which she took deep interest. Tobacco was the
fruitful cause OF disease and crime. 1t creates
Thirst which can only be assuaged by intemperance.
The truth cannot be denied thit there is vital
in order, alcohol next. Everywhere liquor ia kept
for SALE whether it be in the splendid hotels the
low groggeries, they are kept side by side. There
is great fear for the future of boys unless the ndu
the habits of your sons fathers, by your good cx-
ample teach your children to shun tobacco as they
would drunkenness. 1t is an alarming fact that pa
rents regard this evil with indifference Boys grow
up filthy tobacco chewers and smokers without
warning or rebuke, and indulge in practice which,
iffollowed is ruinous to health, if no terrible
results follow. The use of tobacco among boys is
evil which calls loudly upon parents for remedy.
Miss Donovan had suffered personally from the
Of tobacco. Not because she used it herself or
that her father brothers used it, for not one of
her family INDUCED in its use. But she suffered
while travelling in railroad cars and elsewhere.
Young ladies who delicate and sensitive

cheweys, keep company With them, and perhaps be-
come their partners for life. gentleman once re.
marked TO her that If the ladies would only do their
duty the vile weed would he abolished. Numbers
of young. men are annually destroyed by its use.
Why. no longer ago than last year 30 of the most
talented and respected young men in the city OF Ro
chester, young men who never used intoxicating IL
quors, died of delirium tremens brought on by the
use Of tobacco. This evil calls loudly for redress.
Put away the noxious weed. A gentleman in Sara.
toga county, who had spent the last fifteen years in
investigating this subject, declared that he never
knew drunkard who was no. tobacco chewer.
There are but two animals and one insect who use
tobacco. The insect Is the tobacco worm. One of
the animals is the goat who is so rank and noxious,
so offensive, that the other animals avoid him, and
fly when he approaches. The other animal is man.
Too many ladies NEEDLE with tobacco. They are
ever ready with their snuff boxes to hand around at
sewing circles. DO not use it. Young ladies, do
not associate or keep company with men who use
tobacco and if you do your duty the evil will disap-
pear.
At The afternoon session, as reported for the
Utica Telegraph, the resolutions reported by Mrs.
Bloomer from the Business Committee were taken
up, and discussed serictis,. The discussion, how
ever, was all on one side, no one having the hArdi-
Il
forth in the resolutions. The question of adoption
was taken occasionally between the speeches. as n
matter OF FORM or rather for the sake of variety.
We respectfully suggest to the lady members Of the
Spouse to the questions put by the Chair. The
still small voice. which responds in the affirmative
is too apathetic and does not reflect the enthusiasm
OF the Executive Committee who occupy the plat
form.
The discussion was opened by the Rev. Mr.. BART
LETT of Frankfort, a dark-looking gentleman with
black moustache and twenty-five cent cane, who
announced himself as person who once occupied
the same position as Governor Seymour, only be
wasn't Governor. He made a dignifed aluslon to
the patch Governor Marcys pantaloons which
was received with distinguished feminine applause.
Mr. Bartlett concluded by giving 1t as his opinion
that Gov Seymour, President Pierce, and Judge
5. A. Douglas couldn't stop the progress OF Cod"
whatever they might do in arresting the progress Of
other matters and things.

very fluent speaker, and has charming brogue,)

Seymour's love Of power and lucre was very strong
but his love of the critter was stronger; which in

secure the veto.
Rev. Mr.. TnuEsToS, of Utica, said that Gov. Sey.

of it, Mr. I. related an anecdote of a pous little

her closet to pray, and instead Of the usual Amen,
at the conclusion OF the prayer, she finished by say

Mr.: THuRsToN then said something about "going

tention by the Hon J. Benedict, our member, and
Alderman McQuade, of the Third Ward House, who
were seated together under the gallery.

Mr.. LOOMS, Of Lfchleld, made speech. At
first his remarks were received with courteous ex-
pressions OF dsa pprobation the part of Brother
Boiley, but after Mr.. l.. had expressed it as his
opinion "that if Governor Seymour could borrow
all Gods stars he would pay them down to be put

Mrs. FISH, Of Victor, thought that the word man,
as used in the Bible. meant both man and woman
kind The Bible commanded man to love his neigh
Dor as himself, and woman should also love her
neighbor. Woman b. paid too much attention to
domestic duties, reading novels, and the latest
fashions. Fashion had sent more women to the
grave than disease.
Mrs. PArLISA W DAVIS, of Rhode Island spoke of

Mrs. Davis is evidently a lady of talent, and
knows something about physiology.
Miss CLARK said that the agents of the society met
with more opposition from the women than from
the men.
Mrs. BLooNER thought that Miss Clark could not so
much blame the women, when the pulpit and press
