The WESTERN ANTI-SLAvERY FAIR.-The time
mas come when the friends of the slave who make
the the Western Anti-Slavery Fair a medium for
the contribution of their substance and their labor,
must be active in preparation. We desire to di-
rect the attention of the friends of the Fair to the
call in another column. We know that the friends
of the slave in common with others, feel them
selves Strengthened by failure of the crops this
season. They have not the abundance of othar
years from which to contribute. Nevertheless we
hope they will not on that account forsake the
cause of the poor. They have yet resources, and
should share them with their bretheren who are in
such utter destitution.
We especially refer those who purpose making
contributions to the fair to one suggestion in the
call, which we think a good one, that when put
ting away their winter stores they set apart a por-
ton for this purpose.

MISS ANToINETTE L BRowN-woMAN's
RIGHTS.

Newspaperdom was quite excited last week by
a little item of bogus news it chronicled-the mar
riage OF Miss Antoinette l.. Brown. But though
the report was false, and Miss Brown is Miss
Brown still, it afforded an opportunity not to be
neglected by the old fogies, to reveal themselves on
the woman question. A vast amount of stale wit
and many inappreciable jokes were let off about
paternal cradle rocking, petticoat domination, &C.,
all of which have served to exhibit either the ig-
norance, stupidity, jealousy or spleen of the writ
ers. 1t is a fixed fact with hunkers, that a woman
who has independence, selErcspect and conscience
enough to ATTEMPT to vindicate and elevate her sex,
and especially to assert her own responsibility by
choosing a position for herself, must be, of neces-
sity a tcrmagent and a domestic despot. Hence,
the bunker press was most lacrymose over the
prospective sorrows and humiiiations of the myth
ical bridegroom. Even the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
not often found in such company, has an article on
this occasion worthy of the most venerable patri
archs of immutable and immovablo conservatism
Rev. John Chambers, for example.
Since we have named the Dispatch, perhaps We
ought to give its article, that our readers can judge
for themselves. We don't know what it is the
Dispatch complains of at the late Philadelphia NEE
ing. 1t may be right there; nor do we understand
how "Wm. Lloyd Garrison's speaking of DR.. New
in," clears nightly against the character of thos,
women" Among all Mr.. Garrison's sins, w,
never before heard him charged with being a wo
man. Besides being old fogyish, the Dispatch wa:
a little 70 ggy when it sent forth this article. An
other error the Dispatch falls into. 1t was Mr.
Nevin, not VIM. Lloyd Garrison, who played the
blackguarl at the Cleveland meeting. Mr.. CARR
sons offence consisted in christening Mr.. Nevin's
course by its proper name.
If there exists any occasion for the criticism Of
the Dispatch upon the intolerance of the leading
women of this reform, we trust it will not be
lost upon them. Whenever It has been our priv
ilcge to attend any of the woman's rights conven
tons we have failed to see the evil here complained

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

AHTorNETTE L.. Brown, the fair pastor, the
smooth-cheeked preacher, the petticoat follower of
St. Paul, has obeyed the gospel injunction and
taken unto herself a husband. The fortunate
masculine is a DIR. James Ii. Merritt, and the
ceremony transpired at Carmel, n. Y, on the l7th
inst.
The Doctor has certainly got q very handsome
and talented wife, but it strikes us that breakers
are ahead, if Antoinette lives up to the doctrines
she breaches. The cause of Woman's Rights is
founded upon immutable prin iples Of Right;
sound logic iortities every position assumed by the
conventions of the day; but somehow it seems to
us that the prominent advocates of the cause 60 to
extremes that are not justified by the platforms
upon which they profess to stand. They advocate
Il complete equality Of the sexes and yet, when
the occasion offers, these very Lucy Stones, and
Antoi cite Browns, and E~rnestine Roses avail
themselves of those exclusive privileges of their
sex to which man is not entitled. A convention
assemblies; q warm debate arises: Miss Stone
asks free discussion from all sides and yet, il
some opponent of the movement arises to express
his views, he is hooted down in their meetings,
aad silenced under circumstances where, # his p
ponents were men, he would die sooner than give
up his right to be heard. We fl I'D no fault with
the principles of the movement, but we do with
the bigotry and intolerance Of those women who
have set themselves up as its model advocates.
Look at the recent convention in Philadelphia,
where Il gentleman, discussing the claims of wo,
man in the negative, was frequently interrupted
and maligned. The same was the case last year al
Cleveland, when a gentleman (Rev. Nevin) at
tempted to give his views. He was insulted and
blackguarded by that pink of perfection" VIM
Lloyd Garrison, and finally compelled to take his
seat without having finished his remarks. These
things do not argue against the cause, bat they dc
bear nightly upon the character for tolerance and
fair-dealing assumed by those women who claim to
be the Martin Luthers Of this reform.
Antoinette is married. Much happiness do we
wish the young novitiates in matrimony, but we
will wager a baby's cap the D. d. will wear the
breechos and the NJ. d. rock the cradle.

General Espartero, the head of the new
Spanish government, has had several inter

that the Spanish cabinet will do its best to
settle all matters of difference having a
pecuniary character and as TO questions of

than in the fact that the impeached govern

been hitherto.

Emigration to the United States this yeaI.
it is thought, will reach four hundred thou
sand BY the census of 1880, the popula
ton of the United States was over twenty
three millions, of which eighteen million,
were native whites, over two millions Were
foreign born, thirty-nine thousand Were, OF
unknown nalivlties, and three millions two
hundred thousand were slaves. From l840
to 1880, l,569,S5 foreigners came TO our
shores. From 1920 to 1880, the average
number was only 10000 year. From
1880 to 1916, about 10000 year. The Irish
famine and the continental rgolutions in
l847 increased the emigration TO 24O, 900 in
1917, and to 100000 in 1850 The total
number of emigrants to the United Safes
since 1890, and living in 1850, together with
descendants, amounted (when the census
was taken) to i 4,304,4l6. The great number
of deaths among foreigners in the United
States is appalling, and average, it is thought.

The BEGINNING OF MoRMoNIsM. .--Twen
ty-eight years ago, Joe Smith, the founder Of
this sect, and Harris, his convert, applied
to the senior editor of the Journal, then re
siding at Rochester, to print his " Book oi
Mormon" then just transcribed from the
|" Golden Bible which Joe had found IN the
cleft Of rock, to which he had been guided
by vision.
We attempted to read the first chapter.
but it seemed such unintelligible jafgon that
it was thrown aside. Joe was a tavern idler
in the village of Palmyra Harris, who
offered to pay for the printing, was sub
stantial farmer. Disguised with what we
considered weak invention of an impos-
tor, and not caring to strip Harris Of hls
hard earnings, the proposition was declined.
The manuscript was then taken to another
printing office, across the street, from
whence, in due time, the original Mormon
Bible" made its advent.
Tall oaks from little acorns grow"
But who would have anticipated from
such a bold, shallow, Senseless imposition,
such worldwide consequences? To remem
Der, and contrast Joe Smith with his loaicr-
look, pretending to read from miracul
Slate-stona placed in his hat, with the Nor
monsm of the present day, awake thoughts
alike painful and mortitying. There is no
limit, even in the most enlightened of all
the ages Of knowledge, to the influence o.
imposture and credulity. If knaves, or even
fools, invent creeds, nothing is too monstrous
for belief Nor does the fact-a fact not 80
be disguised-that all the Mormon leaders
are rascals as we'll as impos.ors, either open
the eyes of their dupcs or arrest the progress
of the delusion.- Albany Jour.

Mass Meeting, held at Mrs. Munn's on
Wednesday last, will be found in this paper.
We hear that the attendance was quite re-
spectacle as to numbers, that the business
and nominations were perfected with entire
unanimity, and that the best of feeling pre-
vailed among those in attendance. 1t is
believed by some that the ticket put in
nomination by the meeting can be elected
entire. We think it possible, but believe it
will require some little effort on the part of
the democratic portion of the Anti-NebraSka
men with their friends to accomplish this
result. The ticket is first rate one, and
commends itself to the good favor of the
people of Wood county who spurn alike
party shackles and the propagation of slave
nv.

1s- In another place will be found the
article of Mr. Porterfeld, which we copy
from the Hancock Courier. His charges
against the Steedman influence are bitter and
sweeping, but doubtless in the main just
The editor of the Hancock Courier reviews
Mr.. Porterfeld's letter, and, although he
abdes the decision of the convention and
supports its nominee, he does not controyert
the truth of Mr.. Porterfield's statements,
but argues that Mr.. Commager should not
b. held accountable for the sins and short
comings of the Steedman clique. This po-
sition is correct had Mr.. Commager obtained
the nomination by fair expression of the
democratic voters of the district; but, un-
supported by the &c ''canal influence he could
not have been nominated, and hence he is
the representative of that clique instead of
the democracy of the district; and it is
therefore legitimate and right to treat him as
their tool and defeat him if possible that the
blow may fall upon them. This, in fact,
IS the only way to reach them. The ques-
ton resolves itself into this will the peo-
pie of the 5th congressional district longer
submit to the rule and mastery of James B.
Steedman or not.
