not allow her to pass such favorable op-

were not much better off than women, and
that nigsers, like females, had no rights which
men were bound to respect.
She was particularly anxious to do some.
thing for her sisters in misery; not the
poor squaws, who from her home in St
Cloud she can see, bending under burthens
and toiling to support their lazy lords and
masters; no it was not for her red sisters
nor for her white sisters in shame and de.
graduation, but for her dear black sisters that
the rich treasure of her sympathics were
poured forth. Oh the stories she told and
the way she told 'em. The fact that they
were indicate was overlooked. The con.

Our tears would fill Il cup,
We beat our breast, and cried aload:

nature could not bear so much emotion: so
we gently sank to sleep.
We slept one long hour and half, and
awoke in time to hear her say, in her per-
GRAFTON, that she was Of the John Brown
blood and she wanted Northern women to
make their husbands abolish Slavery
Which the said husbands will undoubtedly
do at the first opportunity; as they are
now only waiting for Mrs. SIS directions
as to the manner Of proceeding.
Mrs. Swisshelm, makes a good personal
appearance. Her face rather inclines to
the masculine, with a Arm, hard set mouth
and fine eyes; rather shril but pleasant
voice. She is, in conversation, very
pleasant, courteous and lady like. A NO.
man Of brilliant parts, r;dicule and invective
are weapons always at her command; and
as her nature is none the sweeter or more
feminine from her marital troubles, she is
never troubled by scruples in the use Of
them. Political opinions, are with her
mere matters Of taste ami feeling, and the
childish views Of State affairs taken by q
woman Of her information, is in our opinion,
a strong argument against the majority o.
her sex ever becoming good politicians.
Mrs. S.,-made an explanation Of the
statements in the newspapers in regard ia
obtaining goods on her husbands account,
and in our estimation entirely succeeded in,
Justifying herself in that matter. She said
she was urged to do so by the best lawyers,
and only consented, when pressed by the
severest necessities. We think this last
Statement should be qualified, as We don't
see how she could be SO very hard up
for jewclry. D

who admire her style, and believe in her
teachings, We have hearty contempt.
