ment such as ours unheard of until those
men framed it. l would not have you,
or any one, act rashly in this matter,
for it is of vast, almost inconceiyable,
magnitude. All that / ask is that you

conscience guide you. And believe

erty, whose foundations were laid in
the blood of our Revolutionary forefa-

which for six thousand years have fet-
tered woman, are broken, and she is

Then, there are the selfish Men. Per-
haps they love power, or, to exercise
authority over some one, and are willing
to lord it over poor ,Ueak woman But
they are disposed to be lsnisnt, and
feel bound TO cherish and protect their
helpless charges. HypocritesI Give
them the right to protect themselves,
and your self imposed task will not be
half so arduous. Or, perhaps they have
married women who possessed a. good

to see that, to which they have no right
under heaven, pass entirely beyond the
reach oftheir greedy fingers. To this
class we have nothing to say, whatev-
er.
There are other classes which we
have not described, who go in to swell
the ranks Of those who opposeWoma
Rights, Some have perhaps heard the
argument used by those who ridicule
the idea of women voting-that in few
years the women would be getting
bsastly drunk, and would be quarreling
and fighting around the election boxes,
as the men now do, and they think per-
haps tits true. Haveyou no more con-
fdence in your Mother, your Sister,
your Wife or your Daughter than to
believe she would do this? Then, Shame

' VOInan's Rights.

This, above all others, is an age Of
progress. Never before has liberty and
Christianity advanced with such gigan-
tic strides. Each day, almost, adds
a fresh laurel to the crown of Intellec-
tual, Social and Moral Improvement.
And to-day the greatest minds of this
most enlightened age are beginning TO
see the importance, I might almost say
the necessity of allowing women equal
privileges with those of the other sex.
Perhaps nothing has ever brought down
the storm of ndicule, or has been COM
PEELED to battle so directly against old
established prejudiCes that this same
question of Woman's Rights has done.
But ridicule is but a weak weapon
when it is welded against the cause of
justice and right, and prejudice is yield
ing slowly but surely 10 the advancing
light of reason.
There are many of my oountrymen,
for various reasons differ with me when
| say that all high minded and right
thinking men should by one united eff
fort push this grand work to compile
ton. These opposers are divided into
many different classes.
There are-First, the thoughtless
Men. They, for the life of them, can
not see what good it would do women
to votc. The simple act of voting is but
a small thing; but when it represents
the dearest of all earthly things, Liber-
ty, and the right of Self lf-GoVernment,
it is a different matter. My dear Sir,
how would you like to be placed under
a government in which you had no
more a voice than brutei whose citi-
zens did not and could understand your
wants; and who sneered at every effort
made by you to throw off your chainsY
/ admire the spirit which prompts you
to say: 81 would sooner die than be a
slave" But you would condemn mil
lions of your fellow creatures, who are
just as worthy to enjoy the blessings Of
liberty, which you are enjoying, as you
are, to just such life Of degrading de-
pendence and servitude. Think, and
you will soon be found on the right
side.
Again, there are the timid Men. =
They are afraid this thing would work
badly. They look back at the history
of past generations and see no instance
where women have not been slaves, Gn
fact, if not in name,) and they shrink
from moving in an untried path, lest
it should lead them to political destruc-
ton. Ah! sir, had Washington, Frank

Furthermore, it will venture to predict
that there never again will be Demo-

he is quite as like to be the leader of

Hard on the Bottomites.


r. NJ Stimson, editor of the Mariet-
ia Register, comes down little on the
Bottomites of Chillicothe Town, thus:
WHAT rHE EDITORS SAY OF U.s.
The Editors who assembled in con-
vention here, May 5th and 9th, have all
returned to their duties, and generally
favorably impressed with Marietta, its
surroundings, attractions, and their kind
treatment while here. Last week we gave
the interesting letter of Court" to the
Cincinnati Chronicle, This week we
devote considerable space to what 9TH
ers say-leading off with Bro Mackley's
interesting account of his visit to Mari
eta. We can look over the remarks of
the indiscreet young editors from
the worm-eaten town of Chillicothe,
where they boast of great progress the
past year-the establishment Of a peanut
stand on a street corner, for instance
while Marietta has given evidence Of ne
such commercial activity? The remarks
of all concerning the roads leading in
and out Of Marietta are very just and
proper.

The reduced price of imported iron
would last just long enough to break
down and destroy our own manufactur-
ers, but no one who knows the spirit Of
English commerce will doubt that her
iron mongers would extort the last poss-
ible cent from the American consumer
the moment the suicidal fallacies of our
free traders had placed the iron marketin
their power The fervor with which the
warfare against the iron tariff 10 being
waged either shows tito be the strongest
point in the free trade argument,or else
indicates that ther is British Influence,
not to speak ofe golden subsidies
behind all this frantic parade. That
England has contributed largely to aid
free trade movement in this country is
not even denied, and this fact alone
should warn people against the SINGER
ity Of its advocates. = lroaton Jotrrak

And it is to be observed that over
one-third of this reduction has taken
place since the administration of Gen
eral Grant took control of national af-
fairs, and closer attention was given TO
the collection of the revenue from all
sources. We believe the close Of the
administration will show a reduction of
the principal of the debt, should we
happily escape foreign wars, Or other
extraordinary drafts upon the Treasury,
to less than 81 900, 600, 900. The ac-
complishment of this we believe to be
the ambition of the Secretary Of the
Treasury, as well as to reduce the bonds
of equal rate of interest by funding up
on terms that are made possible by the
enhanced credit of the Government.
