FEMALE SUFFRAGE.

EDITOR ARGUS, Sir.-One Of the com.
monest and greatest mistakes is to pursue
truth deductiyely instead Of inducuvcIy.
Inductive reasoning gave the principal

ment and discoveries When any great qucs
tons are being discussed there are always
those that presume to make the matter 80
clear, as to authoritatively and dogmatlcally

such persons fail to do so finally and wLy2
Because like your able CORRESPONDENT, G.
tof Aledo) they see things only and reason
only from their peculiar stand point.
&, does not attemptto answer the arguments
in favor Of female suffrage; the question is
simply with him does it accord with bis
creed A person that reasons il a circle
subjecting every thing 10 his creed or
dogma must not expect TO influence only
those Of their own creed or dogma.
G. has felicitous style of writing that s
very pleasant to read, but most of his happy
remarks no more belong to one side than
to the other.
1t once was a patent argument,and is held
now by many, and backed by what is called
divine authority, that the marriage vow

claims divine authority for what be pro.
claims. | propose to examine the question
apart from these pretensous, although in
general way. 1t is Of but little use to argue
with meu who take up such positions.
The suppositiou that the emotional feelings
can be So easily disrupted bespeaks but
low estimate and poor appreciation of these
bestowments Of our creator.
The accusation, the idea, that politics like
pitch, cannot be touched lat least by ladies
without deflement, is libel upon them. If

for the other also, but | opine the ladies
