Of none OF these woman's Rights Conventions in
the South Why is thisi Obviously because the
women here are not oppressed! They are not
made the hewsrs of wood and drawers Of water
They are treated like civilized and Christian ladies'
and consequently we have no female Instructions
in This latitude. What q shocking commentary
upon the humanity asd benevoIence Of the aooh
too phiisnthrepists of the free States that then
wives aud daughters are obliged TO hold mass
meetings, and make public and peTiodicai proeia'
nations Of their wrongs aud grievances
Whenever We read the proceedings OF these
Wouars Rights Conventions, we are filled with
regret tina, so much energy and talent should be
wasted in private life. Scarcely 3 woman spoke at
the late New York Convention but would have
made 3 respectable slangr hanger even in Con
grass Two or three would vie with Burlingame
in ement Summer in rhetoric, and Giddirgs IN
spi,eturess. AS for inlidelity and blasphemy no
Corgressmar, that we know of, has the finr moral
courage to stand mp in his place and speak with
.uch irreyerence of the Bible and of sacred things
81 these excellent women.
The author OF Major Jones Courtship' says
that in his Northern trip he observed that the
tenanees Of supdry women whom he met, begin
TO have q masculine look, so much so that, but for
their feminine attire, it WAS hard to distinguish
woman from . man. When the Bloomer costume
becomes universal among the female sex, and the
shaw led bipeds of the other gender complete their
own nagnanimeus surrender of male wardrobe it
will require a keen observer to tell q man from q
woman. Happy era! Let us, of the present ge-
neration, thank Heaven that we have no. lived to
see tina. day. 1t is reserved for our male descend
ants to be rugged out in shawis, pstticoats and
hoops, and with flowing ringlets and blushing mo-
desty, be eourted by fierce young damsels their
legs encased in Bloomer breeches and their
mouths full of cigars and curses
