contempt" upon the policy Of those who advo-
cate such enormities This has produced the
hurricane and the American vessel Of State can
not be steered stern foremost any longer.
WOMEN Our OF PIAcE.-We notice that at re-
cent very large gathering Of people-men, wo-
men and children--at Shelby Grove Indiana,
Young lady Of Illinois, of the name of Filkens,
mounted the stand and made a political speech.
IL was directed against the ~ old line" parties,
and is represented to have been most eloquent
production. Now, we do not wonder that the
outrages in Kansas, sanctioned by the approba-
tion OF the President and Mr.. Buchanan, affect
the minds Of all rejecting women as well as men.
Border raffanism has not stopped at shooting
men--it has driven defenceless females from their
dwellings and the Territory; young men have
been killed under the very eyes of their mothers,
husbands slaughtered in the presence Of their
wives and merely sor having liberal opinions,
Or for being suspected Of having them. The ia
mily affairs of Kansas have been ruthlessly vio-
lated, and where peace and affection once offered
mp their grateful thanks to Heaven for the bless
ings Of home and the bright prospects Of its fu-
ture bloody sacrifice to despotism has been
substituted. No wonder the female heart shud-
ders at such enormities. But for all this, it is
not their place nor their duty, nor is there
a necessity, for them to interfere in our
public affairs. They do always more harm than
good by their Intervention. If the women
Of France had let its revolutionary move
ments alone, there would have been
less disaster. When the women become furies,
the men act like devils We have from first to
last opposed the introduction of petticoats into
our political affairs. The 'strong minded wo-
men''--the Abby Fosters, the Stoves, the Browns
bad always better be- mendng stockings than
steak would do them more credit than all their
tears for Topsey and all their eulogies of Tom
Paine. A nicely fitting shirt would, after ALL
please their husbands better than the togas they
patch together, letting in all the wind.
During the present canvass public decency has
been greatly outraged by the vulgarity Of those
party hacks who, in their eagerness to do da.
mage to their opponents, OF desire to benefit
their own friends, have nsulted the memories of
departed mothers, mcanly dragged forth the Sc
crets Of betrothal and marriage, or else praised,
even to fustian, the constancy of the attachments
Of dilapidated lover. We have had quite
enough Of this, to the disgrace Of the press and
the country. Let us have no more of it. True
il is that even the most placid lake, when agtat-
ed by an avalanche, throws up from its depths
its mud and mre; the animals which have been
corrupting on its bottom are thrown to its sur
face, and every living thing that swims in it.
But It is sorry sight-a noisome smell follows
the upheaving Of the waters They become i'm
pure, and are no longer healthful. The same evil
consequences are apparent when our political
fountains are violently disturbed. Let not the
women Of this country dip their hands in any
such streams Their place is in the bosom of
their families, and their duty is with their own
households When the men are unable to pro-
tect themselves-when they cannot redress their
pressing political wrongs-then let the women
exchange garments with them, but not till then.
