Should Young LadieS Epince q PyJtr'
encc2--The convenlionaiti Of society
demnnd that young ladies should not
eyjncc preference for even those they
like, aud to whom they really desire to be
married. The maxim IT,, that mothers
must do oil that portion for them. A
correspondent Of tie Louisville Coulter
thinks all this is wrong, and that it
would be much better If there was more
Crankness in this important matter, than
in mere manouvreng in an uuderhanded
way. We think so too. The plain fact
is, young ladies ore sent into society
that they may be seen and married. So.
cicty is a market for young ladies. Mar.
riage is recognized as the only proper
sphere Of life for woman. Men insist
upon this fact Mothers wish 10 do the
best thing possible for their daughters,
and if marriage is best, what wonder that
tho poor parent exerts herself for her
own child? She sends her into the world;
dresses her fashionably; iustructs her
how to please; maneuvers, as far as
public opinion will allow, to secure for
her daughter good match. All moth.
ers are not successful, and season after
season is spent by the poor girl in the
vain effort to gain husband. 0, how
sad
Is marriage necessary for woman's
happiness? If so, do let her have fair
chance with man. Let her not be afraid
to show their preferences for some persons
over others. Many modest young man
would then gain a wife TO whom he 9th
erwise would never dare to propose, and
many a girl would gain husband she
loves, instead Of taking one by chance;
one, perhaps, to whom she feels indiiter'
ent. If woman had the confidence that
man possesses, that she could be married
if she chose, she would think less on the
subleci she would be a better daughter,
better friend, and have time 10 attend
10 house keeping duties and other things
necessary to render her a good wife.

support to the general Kansas policy of the
President, DO not find his letter acceptable.

''It seems to US that the President has
necdlessly thrown down the gauntlet of def.
ance to the popular sentiment OF large ma
jority of the people of this Union, and UNI
queslionably To all the FREQ States, when he
says that slavery constitutionally exists in
every territory Of the Unlon,a that it is n
