Wehold'that the recognition Of tho South
ern Confederacy. and separation Of the States.
would be Q much less evil than the reconstruc.
ton Of the Union with any guarantee for: os
permitted to exist, we have an Iinstitution At
war with every principle of self government,
and one which will inevitably bring destruction
to the entire Republic. =. e. 80 ..-s:s'
We hold that that portion Of the old English
Common Law, now in full force in all parts OF
the United and Confederate States, which en-
acts that ''the husband is entitled TO his wifess
services, and to all the property she may ac
quirv by. her labor, service or act during he-
coverture, is an outrage on naturaiffght which
finds its parallel in the sla cede Of the South
ern States, which hos the same provision in
in case Of master and slave.
We hold that as women have IS much at
stake IN TIE prosperity Of government, and are
often called npon to suffer more than m en- from
war and other political evils; as she is COM
PEELED to contribute for the maintenance Of
government, and to obey the laws OF suffer the
pcnallie ss she. has IN inalienable right to a
voice in the management Of state affairs.
1--WE hold that Minnesota is the white mans
PARADISE; has the finest climate and bert
wheat lands on the continent; that she can
produce more and bett er butter, cheese, beet,
mutton, and wool to the square acre than aEy
State in the Union or out Of it that her clear,
hracing air is we'll calculated to produce Wig
orous intellects, generous impulses, erect spi
nal columns. and firm muscles in her sons and
daughters; and that therefore she will always
contribute her full share to. the maintenance
Of our country, and stand in Freedoms Van
