FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH OF WASHING
TON.
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.


SIR: A friend has put into my hands your
comments on spectators" remarks about church,
in the last Congrcgdtondiist; and though have not
much expectation OF making you this injustice,
venture 10 state just the position occupy. Five
years ago, our brethren that were here
founded church after the roity Of the PlgIms. We
have welcomed all 10 house OF worship, and
communion, irrespective OF race, nationality,
color II Is settled policy. We have both Africans
and Asiatics in orr congregation We do not regard it
mission TO labor exclusively for other natiOnaties,
though have than loo COlOred children III our
mission schools. We have treated all as We think
our Master would have us do.
Now considering that there Is probably not another
church in this city not designed exclusively for cOOred
people where % colorcd man can rent pew or have
seat at the Lords table 5abba,bschOOl Of same
class, where he ca3 put his children without being
roued by the spirit OF caste considering that our church
edi1Cc Is the only except their where coored
men fluid admission for public assemblies snch n,
lectures or concerts; considering that several OF our
members trustees and professors In Howard Unver-
sty with Gen. Howard al their head 1t rather re-
arkabe 10 be charged with negcctng the coOred pco
pie The white churches Of this city, certainly have no
right to throw stones at us. Yours,
j. f. RANKIN, Pastor.

MISS ANTHONY's POSITION.
ROCHESTER, y. Y, July ., Is72

ROCHESTER,, y. Y, July >, 49,.
DEAR DUSIwAY:
Your paper comes over with the true
ring in it. We must know nothing nor
nobody in politics save woman and her
DISTINGUISHED and crucified.
With our National Woman Suffrage
Society's position-that our party is
the one that does most and promises
most for women, no matter whether
Republican, Liberal or Demoerat-what
y tremendous force of votes and cam
paign work we can carry to or from the
parties rs they act for or against Us!
But not only our Woman Suffrage men,
but many OF our women, too, are Re
publicaus per sC-or, rather, more Re
publican than Woman Suffrage-and
they cannot come up to this high ground
of ours. still, our continual assertion
of the true position must do something
to help the friends to see the wisdom Of
placing Holman Freedom-equal justice
to women-above every other party
question. Without it q party, though
possessing every other desirable policy,
is nothing; with it a party, though
faulty i'm all other respects, is every
thing. How unphilosophical, there
fore, is Julian's letter; also Tilton's
apologies on the Cincinnati action, OF
non-action. OF all the corruptions, nep-
otisms and despotisms OF the Grant
reign, the continuance Of wOman's dis
franchisement-th denial of her equal
rights a. n citizen-is the foulest wrong
and most dangerous violation of Re
publican-Democratic principles, and
hence the utter sham Of their professions
to first establish order and honesty, and
after that justice to one-half of the citi-
zens. All that non-sensical philosophy
and sophistry were ''played OUT with
the downfall of the slave-power regime
and its apologists. 1t can't be palmed
of on intelligent, tax-paying, sensi-
BILE women under this midday sun of
"Christian vilization"-Heaven save
the mark! No, no. No party is ours
until it promises to work for the equal
recognition of women everywhere.
Mrs. Hooker, Mrs. Gordon and Others
of us are going to Baltimore next week.
We shall endeavor to secure the inser-
ton Of full, strong Woman Suffrage
plank in the platform. If We succeed,
then the Baltimore platform and party
will be the Woman's platform and party,
and we must all rush to the work of
helping it TO succeed. But if it does less
than Philadelphia, or nothing, then we
must go into the campaign and make
the Republicans know that we are a
power to help them to goodwill and
votes as we'll. Thus we shall prove
that we are power in American pol
titles. SUSAN B. ANTHONY.

STEPHEN MAYBRLL, POET.

This gentleman will give a lecture on
poetry, interspersed with readings, on
Friday evening, the Goth inst. y rare
treat is in store for his audience. Mr..
Maybell is a natural poet. Not pos
sessed of the advantages which pol
ished and elaborate education gives,
and being q laboring man, one can at
once appreciate the talent he has devel-
oped for poetry. His poems have the
wild, warm fervor of the West, and are
possessed of no straining after effect or
buncombe wOrd-fitting for rhyme; they
are simply outbursts from the heart of
one "who sings because he cannot help
but sing"
We have spoken thus warmly for Mr.
Maybell because he has not heretofor,
met with that encouragement whiel
his talent deserves. He needs assist
ance, and we have no doubt win receiv'
il in a liberal degree from the Portland
public.
We understand that it is Mr.. May
belps intention to lecture extensively
throughout Oregon. He win visit TN
Willamette valley towns at an earl,
dav.

". S. MEETING.

On last Monday evening a very pleas
ant time was had at the meeting of the
friends of Woman Suffrage held at the
residence of Mrs. II. w. Williams. The
various phases of the Woman Suffrage
question were discussed in a very intel
igent and entertaining manner. If
any one doubts woman's capacity to
fully understand and competently dis
charge the political duties of an Amer
lean citizen, such person should attend
one Of these meetings, and be forever
disenchanted OF the erroneous ideas he
or she may have entertained upon the
subject.
The course pursued by Oregon's Dele
gate TO the New York Convention was
unanimously approved, and the "WOod-
hull Departure was the cause OF much
eongratulation, it being the opinion of
all that the cause was rid Of a great in
cubus by her withdrawal.
There was not rs large a turnout rs
there should have been. There will be
another meeting this evening, and we
hope there will be a large attendance.

HE sOUIRMS.

Tilton, the timorous, is exceedingly
restive under the many pen-lashings
given him by Woman Sufiragists since
he has been attacked by the Greeley
Brown mania. Here is the way Miss
Anthony makes him squirm:
"Afiss Anthony is n little hard for one
so kind as we know her to be. She
says that unless the Baltimore Conven-
tion declares openly for Woman Suf-
fEage, the women will go for the Phila-
delphia nominees TO a man. AS Miss
Anthony knows perfectly well that the
meaningless platitudes of the woman
plank in the Philadelphia platform were
thrown out as chaff TO catch those who
want an excuse for being imposed upon,
her threat to 90 for Grant with n whole
bevy Of Woman Suffragists is only a
little less than cruel"
Will Theodore explain why the Gin
cinnati and Baltimore Conventions
didn't put in 4 meaning Woman Suf-
frage plank?

HOW NEGLEOFFUL!

How neglectful the Emperor Of Bra

think, during a recent visit TO Europe,
on which he was accompanied by the
Empress, he left the government in

True, the country was governed just as
well as ver-but-then-it-

occupying the highest Office in the
country Such high-handed outrage,
such dastardly blow at liberty, may
be tolerated in half-civilized Brazil, but
never in the enlightened, progressive

PLATFORM
Of the Woman Suffrage Party of the Pa
Cifo Slope.

WHEREAS, We, the representative
women Of the Pacific Coast, in Conven-
ton assembled in San Francisco, this
2lst day of June, 1872, believing the
time has come to form n new political
party, do organize under the name OF
the Woman Suffrage Party of the Pa
cific Coast, and declare the following
platform of principles:
1st. All men and women are created
free and equal, and are endowed alike
with certain inalienable rights, among
which are the rights to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.
2d. We hold that under the Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendments TO
the Constitution of the United States
women are already enfranchised and
entitled to the right to vote, and are de-
barred of the privilege only through
prejudice and misinierpretation of the
law.
Sd. Pendinga a decision Of the Supreme
Court a. to the full import Of these
Amendments, and in view Of the pOssi-
bility Of an adverse decision, we will
labor with our utmost zeal and energy
for an additional amendment to the
Constitution to secure these rights.
We will also work with determination
for the revision and modification of the
Constitution aud laws of our respective
States.
4th. All persons alike, both men anC
women, are entitled to equal rights be
fore the law.
9TH. All persons and parties who op
pose these principles shall be treated a
our political enemies, from whom W,
will withhold our influence in polite
and our patronage in business.
