Aaaress 20 the Women Of Amertes

Address TO the Women OF America
In the capital Of our country we have
this day organized central society for
the suppression of extravsgance, the
elimination OF foreign imports, and the
practice of economy in all our social re-
Iations. To this cociety we have given
/ the name OF the Ladies National Gov
euant" It's object is good and gener-
Gus one, which should inspire spirit Of
patriotism worthy Of women who are the
glory Of great nation. For this soeie-
| " we have an example and precedent
at once august and encouraging.
In ITO the women OF Massachusetts,
actuated by the some impulse that in
spires us. assembled in the city OF Bos-
ton, as we have met here, and resolved
to serve the country BY an effort OF self
sacrifice far greater than we are called
upon to make.
On the 9th of February three hundred
mairons, each the mistress .9f houst
hold, met as we do now, and signed a
pledge to abstain from the use of tea,
the greatest luxury Of the time and the
very life Of all the social gatherings for
which our New England ancestors were
so famous Three days after, twice that
number Of blooming young girls net in
the same place aud signed like pledges
! from that brave assemblage o.
women non-importation societies sprane
! up that produced an effect upor
) the mother country almost equal to thai
: created by the success Of our revolution
/ ary armies. During all the terrors o
the war, these noble women held 6rml,
, to their pledges, and by their earnestnes
awoke the sympathy and cooperation 0
. every sister colony in the land TIL
: spirit thus aroused extended itself Il
imported goods of al kinds, and ever,
{ hearthstone was turned into an in6epen
dent mandatory. Thus it was that th
a fax wheel, the hatchel, and the hand

THE SINKS IN FLORIDA There are agencies
working gradually but substantially TO under
mine the constitution of Florida, the rich south
eTnmOst peninsula OF the Contederacy, more
efectually than secession" Aarmsts might
even hold that if the civil war should last many
years longer, the ultimate iate of the devoted
State will cease 10 be mere political question.
The most dangerous enemies Of the soil Of Florida
are hat It's inhabitants call "sinks." Those ab-
soTptiOns OF the earth, though on a small scale,
are, in fact, so numerous that one may almost
ask lis Florida slipping between the fingers Of
