EQUAL RIGHTS.

1t is we'll known to some Of the friends Of Wo.
mans Rights in the West, that a campaign in be-
hall OF this cause has been prosecuted in New
York during the present season. You have seer

une and other papers, but Of the success of oui
enterprise you have doubtless heard but little
The press is strangely silent at the present time
in relation to this matter.
When women began to talk in public, thew ellie
tied an immense amount of editorial comment
varying according to the mental and moral calibr;
OF the writer. Those who were friendly wer,
much disposed TO praise and fatter; those who
were hostile could not abuse US half enough
hen We first held conventions, all christendom
was thrown into one universal giggle at the
strong-minded women, while nearly every public
paper became a fitting mouth piece. Those who
went of into individual enterprises, that were

the popular breeze.
Ghe cause of woman has now assumed a differ

Suffrage for woman has been earnestly CONNIE

deed 80 genuine and emphatic has been the re-
Spouse to our doctrine whenever it has been dis
cussed, that is 10 somewhat hazardous FOR public
journals to condemn, and they have not the cour-
age to approve, hence they are silent. Salliss Of
vulgar wit are reserved for fresh topics.
Our campaign this winter was successful. The
meetings were generally we'll attended our petit
lions we're numerously signed, and tracts extern
sively distributed. The change in public senti-
we'll said that 70 reform has made such progress
in tho same lcug;h of time. Women are coming
up to take their place by the side Of men in nearly
all the walks Of life. They are engaging more in
literature and the arts, and to some extent in COM
merce, agriculture and mechanics. We read new
aspirations in the faces of women wherever we go
and we know that scores of them are resolving to
carve out their own destiny-to gain selfreliance,
pecuniary independence, and position too, moi
through a mercenary marriage but by the strength
and energy of their own individual powers.
Next season we will make an effort to canvost
Ohio, and l trust we may be able to present such
an array of petitioners demanding equal rights to
earnings, to our own children, and to political
franchises, as shall prevent our Legislature from
making such an ungenerous and summary dispo-
sition Of bills upon these important interests as
was made of that presented by Mr.. Parish this
winter. 1t would be we'll for us to question can
didates hereafter, and see whether those who ig-
more the rights Of half the race shall represent our
respective districts.

BAILIE PEYTON AND THE FREE NE
0ROES.

In a recent speech Of Bailie Peyt0n, at Ga!latin,
in Tennessee, he made n most earnest and pathetic
appeal in behalf of the free negroes of Tennessee
against a villainous law which has passed the
House Of Representatives, and is now pending in
the Senate of that state; saying that the people
Of Tennessee had ever been distinguished for JUS
tice, humanity and couIage-That Tennesseeans
had displayed their chi7alry in winning the pion-
eer independence Of the country That they had
poured out their blood on all the glorious battle
fields Of the late war with England, under Jackson,
and 10 the Mexican war, under Taylor ard Scott,
and had won for it the proud title of the "Volun-
teer State" and now look al the humiliatiug atti-
tude she is made to assume. Her legislation is
based upon fear--her million of gallant sons, it
would seem, are alarmed at the presence of 1000
or 7,U00 free persons Of color-men, women, and
children, scattered throughout the State. Is this
Just? is it necessary to make war upon those
helpless. p~ennliess, harmless creatures! Have they
ever been charged with, or suspected Of disturbing
our peace or safety He remembered in '33,
when he ran for Congress, that Davy Tupance, a
free man Of color, was one of his supporters, and
voted for him; for then free negroes we're allow.
ed to vote. How this slavery question ha, chang.
ed the hearts of men But Davy has paid the
debt of nature. and is beyond this cruel law, should
it pass, which for the sake of justice. for the sake
Of humanity, and for the honor Of Tennessee, he
trusted in God would no. be the case.

A METHODIST PRETCHER DRIVEN FROM
HIS WORK,

Benjamin Brown a colorod Methodist Preacher,
sent by the conference to labor among the colored
people of Milford and Slaughter Neck, was ares.
ted on Friday last, a. the instigation of some Of the
citizens Of Slaughter Neck for being a nonresident,
lie was taken before Eco. Revill, who was compel
led by the law to fine him Fifty Dollars. He was
also ordered to leave the State in five days or again
be subject to fine and imprisonment. II seems
that besides preaching en- tho Sabbath, he had
opened a school in which FREQ colored children
in great numbers were learning to read and write;
and this excited the opposition that was manifested
in enforcing an inhuman law. The preacher is
said to DO a quiet reaceable man. His work among
the free negroes Of this vicinity was e~levating and
improving them; but this many white men are
opposed to-, never seeming, while they abuse the
negroes for their immoral aud vicious practices,
to consider that it is their ignorance and degrega.
ton that makes them so, and to remove which In
intelligence and moral elevation is absolutely nee.
essary. Ignorance is the mother of vice, and
knowledge is the father Of virtue among all classes
of men.
Many Of our %citiSens have since signed a petition
to the Judge for this county for a permit to allow
Brown to remain and attend to the duties to
which he has been assigned by Bishop Scott, but
the Judge has not yet granted it. Brown was or
dained a Deacon in the church by Bishop Waugh
late Of Baltimore, and to Elders orders by Bishop
Baker.
A son of Brown vas also engaged In teaching
in Milford, but on receiving notification he left
the town and probably the State.

FRIENDS OF

Noy'
FRIENDS OF PROGRESS.
At Salem Quarterly Meeting Of Friends of 1u.
man Progress held Sunday, the 18th of Feb, 1880,
in Butler Township, Col. CO., Ohio.
The following Resolutions, after being thor.
ougbly discussed, were unanimously adopted by
the meeting.
l. Resolved, That Shareholders as such have
States.
2. Resolved, That Slaves, as such, owe no ser.
vice or duties to their enelavers.
8. Resolved, That if armed defence be ever O
right and duty, it is the right and duty Of the
Slaves to defend themselves against their enslav.
crs, and Of the people and States of the North to
aid them in such defence, whether on the soil oil
slaveholding or non.slaveholding States.
4. Resolved, That all laws and constitutions, all
Religions and Governments that recognise and
protect the rights of Shareholders and slaveholding
states. and enjoin on slares obligations and duties
to their enslavery are null and void, and it is the
duty of all to resist them, and seek their over
throw.
Whereas, The Governor and Legislature oil
Kentucky have refused protection to the citizen,
of that state, and looked on and saw a mob drive
some 60 of her most estimsble people from there
and Danish them to Ohio. because of their anti
slavery sentiments, and,
Whereas, Said Governor and Legislature o.
Kentucky, with the Legislature of Tennessee, have
recently visited Ohio. and were invited to the
Capital by the Legislature and Governor of Ohio,
and made drunk nth wine, and merry in the
dance, and then voted SIS, 900 of the peoples mo.
ney to pay for the means Of their debauch;
Whereas, All this was done by the Legislature
of Ohio with a view 10 conciliate the manstealers
of the South, to give triumph to the Republican
party, and to save q slave.holding and slave hunt
log Union; therefore,
Resolved, In the Difference paid to maustealers,
and in feasting and bauquetiug those who live by
stealing ard enslaving men and women, the Leg
~islasure Of Ohio has degraded the state. ~insulted
and outraged the moral sense Of the people, done
a great wrong to the cause of Liberty, and render
ed themselves deserving the scorn and contempt
Of all the friends of humanity.

A Commeudable Act.

The Democratic Governor of Georgia has ap-
pointed an eminent Wing lawyer of that State
one OF the Judges of the Supreme Court. One
swallow doesn't make a summer, but If that
example should find half a dozen imitators,
there would be reason TO believe that the mill
lenium is at hand.
If there is any Office in the world which
should not be elective, and which should never
be conferred upon political grounds, it is the
judicial office. Whilst thus far, in Virginia,
the high moral tone of the people has ex-
cluded unworthy men from the bench. we
confess that in view of our increasing growth
and prosperity, we tremble for the future.
