But the g;ea. mistake Of Ann 1dea," as
well as Of nearly all opponents to female
suffrage, is in discussing this question upon
the basis Of expediency, rather than of jus
tice. Instead Of producing arguments to
show that WOMAN has no right to the cleo
tive franchise, she attempts to demonstrate
its inexpediency. Just as the advocates Of
slavery based all their arguments upon the
idea that the welfare Of the slave aud mas.

coolly ignore the question of RICH, and de-
fend an arbitrary and barbarous code, upon

strongly from the westward and drove the
sparks and flames from the populous portion
Of the town. Had il not been for this, Aek-
ley might to-day, be in ashes.-We have yet
been unable 70 learn the origin of the Ere,

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Our very courteous correspondent, Ann
Idea.r in her opposition to female suffrage,
advances several distinct objections, which
We will cons der in their order. Before pro
ceeding 10 the argumentative portion OF our
correspondent letter, however, We cannot
refrain from noticing its introduction, which
is purely assuuptive. Flsttery has generals
" been regarded more particularly in the
sphere Of the stronger sex, and when under
taken by women is almost sure to be 90
qualified Is TO render IT'S real signihcation
somewhat doubtful. Thus, after proceeding
With the formality Of accrediting Us with .
.s~~.-A --A- -. IS .ooa Indictment and
Intelligence, Ann Idea" coolly asserts
that we're our theories carried into practice,
they would bring on this already burdened
nation multitude Of evils, for which wo-
man would be the innocent offender "a
rather dubious commentary on our good
Judgment and intelligence
"Ann Idea" seems to urge as an objection
70 female suffrage that its agitation would
subject our nation 70 revolution as gigan-
tic ~ that caused BY negro suffrage, or. Is
she doubtless meant 70 say, by the enamel
patton Of the slave. Admitting the fact Of
the assumption, if woman is actually depri>
we'd Of God given right, revolution, no mat
ter how sanguinary, SO it be necessary to
place her in possession Of such right, is both
unsuitable and desirable, because the longer
the intensifying fires of . volcano remain
pent up, the more terrific and and destructive
the FINAL explosion. Was ever more start
ling example Of this principle thsa in negro
slavery in the United States? Who, even
Of those who have suffered the loss Of their
dearest friends, would wish the past undone,
and our country thrown back TO is former
barbarism? Revolutions are the safety
valves of human governments-the bloody
roads to justice. Bot in truth we apprehend
no serious outbreaks-no terrible political
consolidation the concession Of Human
rights 70 woman. The work viii be wrought
With the pen instead Of the sword, and BY the
gentle, though powerful perzuasions of the
Quill, will even such hesitant opponents Of
female suffrage As Ann Idea" be brough. to
. recognition Of the equality Of the soul, IN
der Whatever outward guise, whether Of color
or sex. To call q woman who already re-
cognizes this equality strong minded, and to
assert that she is an object Of contempt with
her own sex. is no argument against the jus
tice Of her claims, but on the contrary Is .
which resorts TO the proscFiplive tyranny d
public opinion to bolster assumptions which
Arguments fail 10 maintain. We say sod,
for is exhibits human nature in it, ael6sh,
uncharitable aspect.
But says !" Ann Idea, would yss infict
obligations which the majority Of Us have
neither the desire nor capacity 70 fulfill ?"
We make the bold assertion that while sin
gle woman in Iowa claims and desires the
exercise of her natural human rights, It Is
absolute tyranny which deprives her Of the
opportunity. We would rot pass law tha
very woman msss vote, but thas every wo-
nsa, equal With every man, may vote. As
