Our correspondent OBJ" in discussing
woman Suffrage, affects TO place the
merits of the question on the inherent
rights of man rs man, and yet declares
that he has no inherent rights Of suffrage.
We do not quarrel with that position but
we ask that the deductions from his as
sumed premises be drawn to their lcgitl-
mate conclusions, and not stopped at halt
conclusions. The premises from which
he draws his conclusion that woman
should not be admitted to the ballot box
are equally tenable for an argument 10
prove that man should rot be admitted TO
the ballot-box.
IF the female part Of the community
has no rights which the law OF equal
rights cannot protect" neither has the
male. If there is no inherent reason why
woman should "take part in civil govern
ment in any of its departments from the
ballot-box TO the BENCH" it is equally true
that there is no inherent reason why man
should take part in civil government in
any Of lis departments. y Republican
government may be denominated a social
compaci, but it is compact which in
cludes the female equally with the male;
and there is no reason why the former
may not seek TO participate in the admin
istration Of the government, as well as
The latter, except in an arbitrary rule.
What are our God'given rights with
which we must be content? Are they
not life, liberty, and the pursuit ofhap-
piness, and equally the rights of the male
and female B-asks sis not the
movement for woman suffrage founded
in a desire to aid in governing others,
rather than to serve the public good
to receive a boon of honor, pleasure or
profit, rather than to promote the public
veal ?" We can see no reason to suppose
that woman is more ambitious or selfish
than man. If it is true of one, may it
not be of the other. So far as it is ar.
gued in this communication, it is the old
story OF distinction without difference,
The same reasons that are here adduced
why woman should not vote, are equally
applicable in an argument that men should
not vote.
There must be some mere definite data
and more convincing logic than are here
presented, to satisfy those who are no
already fortified in their positions BY
prejudice. that there may not be room
for progress, even here.

Political Suffrage. woman's Rights.

Would the establishment of this doe
trine be an advance or retrOgrade in
civilization? We think the latter. The
facts ia the case may perhaps be most
closely seen by looking at the relation
which tho state bears to the natural
and inherent rights with which the
Creator has endowed man as man.
These rights our venerated sages in
founding our nationality condensed
thus: "llfe, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness" this compendium is, in the
constitution of this State little am
plified, thus "All men have certain
natural inherent and inalienable rights,
among which are, the enjoyment and
defending of life, and acquiring, pos
sessing and protecting property, and
pursuing and obtaining happiness and
safety"
What then is civil government? As
showing its support its origin in sur
frage it consists Of n combination o.
governmental powers constituted by
self-governing individuals, and organi
zed in due form to hold the scale o
equity in Society, to see that the rights
of the weak are not infringed, and t.
give relief to the oppressed and redress

Mr.. EDrroR, SIR,-Yuur correspons
dent Epsilon, in your issue Of Feb. 2nd,
has in very candid and prascworthy
manner introduced the subject of Life In,
surance, and expressed wish that it
might be thoroughly and inteligenily dis
cussed through the medium of your col
umns | hoped ard expected that other
and abl9r pens would reply, but as they
have not, it seems proper that we should
present some reasons Tor believing that
Life Insurance has merit, and conseuuent-
ly that my actions do not belle my con-
vctinns. Ii companys or their agents
cannot present clear aud sufficient reasons,
that prove that it has merit, then surely
we should all justly he branded with that
stigma which is so plainly insinuatcd by
your correspondent, namely: That we
are either knnyc4 or fools The great
and especial object of Life Insurance is to
Secure the wife and children against want
and misery after the death of the husbnn
and father, though it is practically
useful in great variety of ways. Take
the uncertainty of life away, and Life
Insurance falls to the ground. 1t is thi
which stimulates man to appropriate
small daily swing for the Accomplishment
OF this praiseworthy purpose. That it
will accomplish this purpose depends only
on the stability and solvency Of the cons
pany. Suffice TO say upon this point that
the best Finiucar5 have gwen iii us their
opinion that Life Insurance Comp my,s
are basel upon "A sound financial founda-
ton, all companies pay their losses, we
have yet TO hear of full Life Company

it does this, any one can prove by takin!
