"WoMEN HAVE NO Souls PA great genus
has arisen in Cincinnati. His name lsunknoWn
but his works are before the world. lie has
discovered that women are souless-that they
are not human beings that they are no part OF
creaton-that they.are intruoers IN the world
that they are an after thought OF the Creator
and he undertakes to establish these positions
by texts from Scripture. lie has published
pamphlet of thirty pages with the Gct TUE page
headed-"No Female Suffrage The author
of this heterodOx effusion sets out by copying
the verse from Genesis:
"And God said, let us make man III our own
image, after our likeness, &c.
''This was the last being created-a human
being TO have dominion over all the earth, ana
with him the act of creation was closed, when
took place at the end of the sixth day. And
God saw that all his work was very good, and
he rested on the seventh day. At this time
woman was not created The Lord breathed
into his nose the breath Of life, and man be,
came living soul. He also blessed man and
other animals-but woman was still ron-eXls-
tent and unthought OF. Sometime afterwards,
the Lord said it is not good tor man to be alone;

all the animals pass before Adam, that ne
might name them, and there was no help-mate

over Adam deep Sleep and he took one of
his ribs and formed a woman. When presen,,
ted to Adam, he said, bone Of my bone, and

Lord breathing into her nostrils the breath OF
| life and her becoming living soul, or her de
irving any spirit from Adam. From him she
obtained only bone and flesh.
She was not included in the prohibition of
the tree of acknowledgement being then IN ex,
istence and when she ate of the fruit it had
no effect on her, making her neither more wise
nor less foolish 1t did not even create in her
a desire for the tree of life as 1t did IN Adam,
which rendered his expulsion from Parad Use
| necessary.
There is q great deal more OF the same sort
of heretical logic-whcn only serves to show
to what extent the human intellect may wan
| der leven into craziness.
We suppose Mesdames Dickinson, Stanton,
Anthony & Co. will meet this rude assailant, by
denying the authenticity Of the Scr pturcs !

The coorcd people are told by the Rich
mond State urnal-"That they have secured
the right of suffrage, and every other right and
privilege they desire; that they arc under no
obligations to the Conservatives of the State
for any thing;t that they owe them no gratitude
that they are indebted to them for nothing
and that all they ask is, that as the new year
is now beginning, they will pay them living
wages for the labor they will be called upon to
perform during the next twelve months, and
which must be done by their willing hands or be
left uudone, &c" The animus which dictates
such tone, and The spirit which is sought to
be excited, for political effect by such language
are obvious.

1t will be seen by reference to an article In
another column, that some Of the prominent
gentlemen of this State have taken steps to
present an alternative proposition to Congress,
in relation to affairs in Virginia-the nature Of
which is expressed in the resolutions they
adopted. This matter has been much moOted
in various quarters, for month past Enter
tanning very grave doubts as to the practical
blhty or propriety OF the movement, we have
avoided entering into discussion which was
likely to lead to division of sentiment and
action. We have preferred and do still pre-
fer, that if colored suffrage is to be adopted 10
this State it should be done, not by the invi-
tation, action, or concurrence of the ConserVa-
tive people of the State-but By the force of
circumstances which they cannot prevent
We willingly admit the intelligence, patriotism,
and good intentions Of the gentlemen concern
ed in this movement. Their names are guar
antee of their rectitude, their honesty and their
virtue; aud, we certainly, have no wish 10
throw obstacles in the way of any OF our peo-
pie who are anxiouSly seeking for restoration
of peace and harmony. We shall, therefore,
continue to wait and see what is the response
of Congress to this movement, if indeed any
response is to be given. All the indications
now are that the people of Virginia will be re-
quired, first, simply to vote upon the Under,
wood Constitution without any alternative
Upon that point, therefore, all the COnserva-
tives are agreed as to what is their duty. If an
alternative be allowed to be presented, then,
we can discuss that In the mean time, let it
ever be borne in mind, that all our hopes for
the future, as far as political action, political
prospects, are concerned, In Virginia, depend
upon the union, harmony, and brotherhood Of
the Conservatives Of the State. 1t they are
distracted or divided, if dissensions are allowed
in their ranks, they will lose every advantage
they now possess-and will fall into hopeless,
helpless minority-easY victims to whatever
may be imposed upon them by the leaders OF
the Radical party. 1t we can, and We believe
we can, defeat the Underwood Constitution
