Allow me as journalist to congratulate you on
the good, sound, handsome and valuable monthly

circulation such journals obtain.

o'clock this morning. The attendance
was very large
The committee appointed on yester
day reported preamble and resolutions
affirming that all governments ought to
be formed for the benefit of the gcv-
erned that the right of suffrage is the
cornerstone of all permanent progress,
the object being not to protect woman,
but rather to place her in position to
protect herself; that to longer exclude
one half Of our citizens is foreign to
the declaration of independence, and
subversive of a republican form of gov
ernment; that the word male should
be stricken from every state constitu-
ton, and not be admi tied to the feder-
al constitution that the ballot placed
in the hands OF woman will give her
a ,cess to the best means Of edua:ion,
and blot out all barbarous and unequal
laws relating to marriage and woman
from our statute books that as woman
already possess great influence, the
highest expediency directs the necessity
of endowIng her with full civil and pc

The chairman invited the clergymen
present to take seats on the platform,
which met with solitary favorable
response.
The resolutions were next taken up,
and, after an animated discussion, their
consideration was postponed until the
afternoon session, in order to enable
Mrs. Stanton to make o biblical argu-
ment in favor Of women's rights. The
speakers argument was able and ex-
haustive, and occupied the remainder
sf the morning hour.
At the afternoon session, Miss Peck
ham delivered an address, in which she
expressed the usual Platitude on the
subject.
The resolutions reported at the
morning session we're adopted.
