The Reverend ANToNETTE BROWN made speech
in favor of Woman's Right to work in the fields

Wecordially endorse this Reverend Lady views,
and think that woman's right to work in gar

safely conceded Miss SARAH GRIMKE, IA venera-
BILE lady in a mob cap" read a speech which was
entirely naudible and which is therefore, supposed
by the Times, to have referred 10 woman's right to
use her tongue under any and all circumstances,
even when she cannot be heard. Miss SARAH L.
REMoND, "a colored young lady, from Salem, Mas
sachusetts vindcated the claims of her sable sis
tiers to all the rights which had been claimed for
woman by any of the preceding speakers Such is
a brief history of the proceedings of the first day;
those of the next were scarcely less lively. Mrs.
FRANCES d. GAGE addressed the Convention. She
said that
she stood before them with sphere large she had
the capacity to FILL"
As we not aware of the circumference of this la
dys hoops left to conjecture the extent of the
sphere which she filed Mrs. FARNHAM made speech
claiming for woman superiority over man-a claim
which appears to have excited the Indignation of
gentleman, who gave the name of MARQUAND, but

man." He was willing to concede the equality of
woman with man-but her superiority-never.-
He greatly weakened the force of his speech, how
ever, by confessing with deep sigh that he spoke
in this matter, from ''btter experience" He said
"Ne has suffered more than from the tyrannical
usurpation of Renewed laughter, stamping of
feet cappng of hands and cries of Give your expe

edge and tell YOU gentlemen, know what it is When
woman comes to lord over man. the earth will be

to be mates, on the same plane as man; but when
they claim to go ahead of they ask too much Oh that
will be sad day for this earth when the power goes into
the hands of women. know it. tell you; for know it
from sad experience, THE speaker here drew deep sigh
which brought down perfect storm of laughter.l
These strong-minded women, it seems, while
not disguise their contempt for man, who 'tfrom
sad experience" testified to the justice of their
claim. The WEAK VOICE was choked of, and sat
down. FRED. DOUGLASS undertook to answer the
question: What can woman do? He offered to
the SEX the fattering encouragement that
eff women would do did they would look Just
about like what did and be able do what men did"
We are afraid that there some physiological
difficulties in the way of a complete realization of
this hope held out to woman by the negro philoso-
pher. Woman may equal man in lis virtues, and
surpass him in his vices. She may even assume
the dress and manners of man, but she can never
grow beard. The proceedings of the second day,
and of the Convention, were closed by speech
from GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS, Esquire We are
sorry to find Mr.. CURTIS in such company. We
are sorry to find the accomplished Editor of Put
nd1n's Mo'dhly-the clever author of the P0tiphar
Papers and the Hoaradji-the agreeable lecturer
whose pleasant projections on "Charles Dickeas''
and "Sr Philip Sidney'' we have heard in this
city, within the last twelve months figuring in this
parti-colored mob of unwomanly women, and I'M
manly men. OF Mr. CURTIS speech on this occa-
sion, it is not too much to say that in its senti-
ments and its language it unfit for the lips of
a gentleman, or the ears of woman The skele-
ton report which We subjoin, and which we COPY
from the New York Times of Saturday, is all that
we venture to publish, but it contains enough to
prove the justice of our charge, and to reveal the
depth of that abyss into which Mr. CURTIS has fall
en- After referring to the course of President b.
cHANAN, with respect to the Territory of Kansas,
and charging him with having Commenced with
a false Democracy, and ended as the pimp of real
despotism," Mr. CURTIS proceeded
81 call the President of the United States pimp do
it with full knowledge of the scope that word Most
the men who are here have have had mothers pmp
is simply person who procures women for the basest in
diligence of the most unbrided lust passion As c
ZeI of the United States, citizens of State of New
ork we all have younger sister in the State of Kansas
and when say that the President the United States Mt
the head of the Slave party of this country is trying to
get hold of and prostitute that Territory to the bases lust
of that Slave power then simply justified when ar
rgn that President the bases the bases
pimp''
The Convention then adjourned, and thus dis
gracefully, but appropriately, ended an exhibition,
of which we safely say that it reflected no hon
or upon woman, and in wise illustrated her fit
ness for any public sphere.
