LETTER FROM MRS. YOUNG.
LEWISTON, Idaho. August 3, Isl

LEWISTON, Idaho, August 3, 1872.
DEAR READERS OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
Have been on the trail 17O miles in
four days. Oh, it is grand in the noun
tains-miles at a stretch, out of sight
and sound Of human voices or faces;
cool breezes from snow banks; bird-mu-
sic leading to concealed springs; cross
ing in the dewy morning the tracks of
bear, elk and cougar; inhaling the odor
of tamarack and spruce; listening TO the
rush and roar of cascades and wild riv-
ers; hearkening to the reverberating
roll of thunder; watching the seams
made by vivid lightning through the
clouds-seething and rolling almost at
our feet, but beneath in the valley!
When weary, laving feet and face in
crystal pure brooks, lunching on sun
dried trout, browning our faces and tear
ing our wells in the long wild galop
over mountain and lea, has been July
work for two weeks past. a thousand
times ! have wished for all of you to en-
joy the fun and the fatigue; and then
the sweet rest on the fine grass. There
is no pay of dollars in such trip, but it
aecumulates the vigor of brain and body
so necessary to the coming of dollars
and arguments.
Everywhere in all the passes and
hooks and crags and camps of northern
Idaho the people inquire first, "Well,
what about this Woman Suffrage ques-
tiOn?n
We have been telling them not ''what
we know about farming" but what we
know and believe about the injustice of
the past, the tyranny of the present and
the grand prospects of the near future,
when woman shall be-not slave, nor
plaything, nor tyrant-but n self-poised
help-mate, equal in ability (recognized)
TO govern herself, and TO help govern
the poor victims of passion and pervert-
ed appetites who now despise and de
grade her.
This gospel the people hear gladly,
and say TO it, "Well, we don't know,
but if equal rights before the law will
make men or women better, God speed
the dayw
To that we ask, Gentlemen, are you
not better in head and heart for having
birth and citizenship in America? If
citizenship and its responsibilities have
clothed you with dignity above the Chi
nese and Indian, why may not citizen
ship lift the 'cOmen of the present and
all the daughters of the future above the
frivolities and fOolishness that You COM
plain of?
We have promised, dear NEW NORTH
WEST, that your chief editor, Mrs. A. J.
Duniway, shall some time visit this
land of mountains and hold camp meet
ings for the benefit of the political sim
ners who need converting from the error
of their ways. In haste yours.
Mrs. CARRIE T. YoUNC.

ically and mentally able to accomplish
the other. But this letter scatters. I've
been reading Mark Twain's "Roughing
It,n and fear that / am adopting his
style; not that object to it-it's good
enough in its way-but don't want to
plagairize.
Stopped in Stockton at the residence
of Mrs. c. B. Condy, President Of the
Woman Suffrage Association, and was
by her introduced to one of the bright
est and most intelligent audiences L ever
confronted; that is, guess they were
intelligent, for they listened with eager
ness and abstained from the uproarious
applause-suggestive ofclaquers-which
greets me in some places.
On Saturday 1 came to this place, the
home of Laura DeForce Gordon, where
her father and mother, a noble and
pleasant old couple, are keeping house
for DIR. Gordon in the absence of his
gifted wife, whom he, the Doctor, has
the good sense to be proud of and the
magnanimity to spare to the world, for
the world has need of her.
Circulated bills and spoke in the even
ing. Laid over till Monday, and am
now bound for Sacramento TO meet my
next appointment.

The Constitutional Right of Woman to
Vote.

The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments TO the Constitution of the United
States, under which ii is claimed that
women have the right TO vote, read as
follows:
ART. IA. Section 1.-AlI persons born
or naturalized in the United States, and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are
citizens OF the United States, and OF the
state wherein they reside. No State
shall make or enforce any law which
shall abridge the privileges or immuni-
ties OF citizens of the United States; nor
snail any State deprive any person OF
llie, liberty, or property without due
process of law, nor deny TO any person
within its Jurisdiction the equal protec-
of the law.
ART. 10. Section 1.-The right Of cit
iZens of the United States to vote shall
not be denied or abridged by the United
States, or by any State, on account of
race, color, or previous condition Of
servitude.
The argument in nutshell may be
stated thus:
l. A woman is a person.
:. A native born or naturalized wom-
an Is therefore n citizen.
3. Being a citizen, she is entitled TO all
the privileges and immunities of q citi-
zen.
4. The right TO vote is a privilege
and immunity of citizenship; so held
and declared by Kent, Story, and other
eminent jurists.
>. Therefore a woman citizen has 4
right to vote.
6. And by the Fifteenth Amendment
this cannot be denied to her.-Pioneer.

EXCURSIONS FOR THE CHILDREN

Little ones in some of the Eastern cit
les are now having a joyous and happy
time. It is to the credit of such great
journals as the New York Times and
Philadelphia Ledger that in the midst
of the whirl of politics and business
they find time to think Of the unfortu-
nate little ones who are confined in the
narrow alleys and close-pent streets.
The philanthropy Of these journals in
providing funds for free excursions of
poor children into the country has ar
rested public attention everywhere, and
"lloraed an example that should be gen.
Si"iiy followed. Thousands Of children

eAPeui'ion to heather souls in foreign

/ Several years ago, as | was travelling
/ in q stage coach it stopped for an instant
/ at an inn door, in a small village, and
the calm voice of man in real distress
was head to say:
"Gentlemen, have eaten nothing to-
day, and have no money. Will you
give me a penny ," He appeared to be
a man about sixty, with travellers staff
in his hand, vet with an elastic step, and
had the steady, undaunted gaze of an
honest man. Gentlemen" he con-
tinued, 81 am not used to begging; / was
once too proud; but there is one thing
that can conquer pride, and that is
starvation.
Crust in God" whispered an old man,
rs he handed him some money.
"Here is something for beer" cried
sailor tauntingly, as he threw him
few pennies.
The poor beggar stood leaning on his
staff looking steadily at the bloated face
of the sailor, and, before he moved to
touch his gift, replied:
''If ! had been TO ale-houses in my
youth, | should not now be walking
twenty miles a day on a bit of bread
and drink of water | should not now
converse with a quick ear and clear
eye. / should not show you at sixty
three . step shaken only by sorrow and
want. / should not look upon you with
a faee changed only by age and starva-
tom He then stopped to pick up his
money, gave them all blessing, and
proceeded on his tOils0me journey"

About thirty years ago a foreigner,
Belonging anywhere along shore, be-
came in debt to a Pittstield, Massachus-
etts, liquor seller to the tune of Sl6, and
soon after, growing sick of the world, he
came 10 Springfield and cut his throat
greatly to the disgust of his Berkshire
creditor. But the enterprising vender
of the ardent was not to be foiled, and
soon after he made visit to Springfield,
and offered certain doctor, known in
old times for his skill in rObbing grave
yards, a good case if he would aecede to
his terms.
The man Of the dissecting knife con-
sidered, and in the darkness of night the
old church yard on the river bank, near
Trask's foundry, was robbed of its self
devoted tenant. The doctor paid the
liquor dealer the SIC due him from the
dead man and 50 extra for his services,
and after selling the corpse for $50, felt
that he had made a good thing out OF
the transaction.

READ THIS, GIRLs.-There is not q
girl on earth, whether the daughter OF
OF prince or pauper, who, if made per
feet mistress of all household duties,
and thrown into n community wholly
unknown, would not rise from one sta
tion to another, and eventually become
the mistress of her own mansion, while
multitudes of young women, placed in
positions of ease, elegance and affiuence,
but being untitled to fill them will as
certainly descend from one round of the
ladder to another, until, at the close of
life, they are found where the really
competent started from. Mothers ef
America, if you wish to rid your own
ehildren's households of those destroy
ing lOcusts which infest your houses and
eat up your substance, take n pride in
educating your daughters to be perfect
mistresses of every home duty; then, if
you leave them without a dollar, be as
sured they will never lack q warm gar
ment, bounteOus meal, or a coy roof,
nor fail of the respect of any one who
knows them.
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1872-08-23

WHY WOMEN SHOULD NOTE.-While
many women care nothing about the
ballot or politics, and would avert the
trouble of voting were the right granted
to them without their asking for it.;
Others have formed themselves into
serried bodies Of contending, pugnacious
clamorers, whose vociferations are diff
cult to be traced or understood. Yet it
is supposable that they think, by the
purveyance of the power TO vote for
those they believe most worthy and best
calculated to be placed as dictators and
rulers over the people, they should be
able TO render that purgation to the
world which is so manifestly necessary.
But were that power which they so
enthusiastically claim the right to
possess, bestowed upon them, how many
would be truly efficient 10 WELD it in
the proper channel? Not that women
have less than men of the natural
endOwments requisite for forming a
clear and irreprehensible Judgment; but
they have not cultivated those faculties.
Their attention has been given to other
things; and they are, therefore, uuquali-
fed, the majority of them, to act wisely
in the capacity they so earnestly seek.
That men abuse the powers they hold.
Is not an evidence that woman would
use those powers IN an empirical man
ner il permitted to use them at all. The
fact that the motives of women are
purer, their sentiments more refined and
elevated than those of men, should be
sufficient testimony that the right of
suffrage ought to be conceded to them.
Not that they may teach men wisdom
by their superior intelligence, but that
they may exert their more beneficient
and chaste influence in endeavoring to
purify the social atmosphere.
