induce them to avoid a rupture, if possible

TlEnEN'-Nc the undersigned wives, and moth
ors, have seen u announced that You contemplate
holding baby show and we hereby raise our
feeble voices and humbly protest against any such
exhibition. We are, gcntlomen, advocates of wo-
mans rights not It is true, Of that class who
would enter tho political arena, or ostlo the busy
crowd in the walks Of active life in their desire to
share with the st'rner sex the privileges which
have from time immemOra been considered man +
birth right--but advocates Of woman's rights who
look upon home as woman's peculiar sphero-that
there she has the right 10 rulo supreme, and believe
any steps which has Il tendency to destroy her in
huonce at the freside 10 hold up her better feel
ings to ridicule is a ruthless aggression an inya-
sion Of therghts Of the gontler sex which should be
resisted We know not what course men or ANA
cons would pursue to induce you to desst. We
therefore appeal to you as women. In the name
then Of those mothers who pressed you to their bo-
SONS and imprinted the first kiss Of love upon Your
brows; in the nomc of those sisters who played
with youi chidhood-and who considered your
commands their law-wc ask you to regard them
with more respect than those females who have
countenanced such exhibitions, and thereby shown
their disregard for the propretes of lfe and scan
da'ized our sex. If an exhibition must be held.
let it have some good object in view Agriculture
has not made such rapid strides in our county that
perfection has been reached improvements can
yet bo made in the garden, the orchard and the
dairy.
Almost secluded from the'world-eneagedi in our
domestic aIairs-endeavori to make our homes
sanctuarles OF love, we have ever looked upon man
as the noblest work of God-the defender of our
sex. We therefore hesitate believing on mere rr-
NOR thai those whom we have heretofore looked
upon as high minded, honorable men, would de-
sire to render woman the subject of ridicule and
contempt II we have erred in our estimate of YOU,
ana you Will not accede to our wishes. you will
learn how wrong you were in supposing there is
in our midst one mother devoid Of that principle
implanted in woman's breast by an all wise Crea-
tor-loye Of oaspring-one parent who with pa
rents pride would not excuse her erring child and
still love the orring one.
Gentlemen if we are wrong condemn-but If our
feelings lean to virtues side spare us the pain of
publicity"

PUBLIC WORKS.!

On Tuesday the l4lh instant, the Canal
Commissioners met at Harrisburg to make
the annual appointments. We learn that
but few changes were made, perhaps ia
view Of q sale being shortly made. We
presume the Wig party as soon as they
get into power, will carry out their deter.
mination TO either sellor gre array the en-
tire public works. Ills however amusing
since the election tosee with what tact they
are managing to avoid the responsibility.
A leading Wing paper at the seat Of Gov.
ernment is now in favor Of lcgisIaling the
Canal Board out Of Office, and authorizing
the Governor Chat is Governor Pollock
to appoint "Superintendant Of the Public
Works" This done, and he being a good
Whig or Know.Nothing, would give them
the Offices. Oh how Patriolicl Ifthey
can accomplish this you will hear nothing
more about a sale of the Canals and Rail
Roads,.

Important from The Sandwich Islands

The English Consul at Honolulu has received a
despatch from his government directing him to in
form the King that in case Of disturbance in the
islands he could receive no aid from the English
government their entire resources were required
for the prosecution of the war with Russia. This
has caused marked change in tho views of the
English, German, and other residents, as also in
the Prince who objected to the annexation to this
country, they now strenuously favor rs they for
merly opposed annexation.
A treaty has been informally agreed upon be-
tween the government of the Islands on the one
hand and Mr.. Gregg the American agent on the
other, and on the transfer being perfected an an
nuity is to be paid to the Royal Family and prin-
cipal mobiles. The only point of difference between
our agent and the Hawaiian government appears
to be as to the time and manner Of admission.
The government desire to have practical annex
alton deferred year or eighteen months, so that
in tho mean time republican form of government
can be adopted. Whilst Mr.. Gregg desires immo-
diate annexation as a Territory. Annexation is
considered a fixed fact, and our readers may
therefore soon expect to hail the accession of this
Island State to the American Republic.
