tons, women conventions conventions; black3

one for the reform Of matter forever in every fenn

convention for reforming English orthography-
dictionary have arisen, and by g much learn
ing made mad, have only caused confusion to become
worse confounded. Phonetic prophets have opened
their mission, and the universal world
has stared at their mysterious symbols, and fhnriy
winked its eye. Learned men with Eastern affnites

the consequent diverstes and janglings, printers
who seem born to bear the brunt Of Intellectual
wrangles-have been the suheringing party and SO,
moved by compassion and indignation we have taken
up the pen in their behalf, and have determined to
do our endeaVor to bring abouta cessation Of hosti
ties. After long and patient thought, we have come
to the conclusion that there must be another conven-
ton, and for the sole and laudable purpose of re-
form in English orthography. Not a convention of
legal medical, and theological doctorsof professors
and authors; but q convention Of wellread, clear
headed, common-sense printers-men of large lexico
graphical experience-to whom the whole matter
shall be referred, and whose decision shall be as final
and conclusive with respect to the English as are the
dlcta OF the French and Spanish Academies in regard
to French and Spanish orthography. And we there
fore propose that the various chape of printers should
each send delegate to orthographical congress
and let every VeXed and vexing word become sub
ject OF thoughtful consideration and the proper mode
OF dividing and compounding words be absolutely
fixed. Let the convention utterly ignore etymology,
and the prefix of every word such as inquire or en-,
canber uniformly be made to begin with an OF an e.
regardless whether it has been taken from the Latin
French, or any other language. In ine let the LAM
guage be thoroughly Amercanized and let all men,
learned or simple, yield willing acquiescence to the
judgement of the TypoO Orthographical Convention
