FAREWELL TO LIFE.

o Life!
Thou harl0t, robed in white,
Which promised joy and gave but strife;
Ihou MONDAY changed to night;
Farewell 0 Lie
o Fame
Opals lay on the strand,
AT which clutched. When norninS came
My hand held only sand;
Farewell, 0 Fame?
HOpe
Which urged my weary brain
To tasks beyond it's feeble scope,
And left it racked by pain,
Farewell, o Hope@
0 Muse!
Whom SO truly loved,
kiss the latchets of thy shoes.
Through thee to Death I'm moved
Farewell, 0 Muse
@ Death!
Thou heightened, peaceful sleep;
Thou sure relief from tlresOme breath;
Thou rest for them that weep
come, o Death

On the road, the lonely road,
Under the cold, wbit6 moon;
Hinder tTle rugged trees he strobe
Whistled and shifted his heavy load
WhigtIed foolish tune.
There was a step timed with his own,
figure that stopped and bowed;
cold white blade, that flashed and shone
LIke splinter Of daylight downward thrown,
And the moon went behind cloud.
But the moon came out so broad and good
The barn-fOwl woke and crOwed
Then roughed his feathers in drowsy mood,
And the brown owl called to his mate in the wood
That man lay dead in the road

There is nothing especially new in this
line. Broche shawls will be worn, and, in
deed, almost any handsome shawl Of which
a lady is the fortunate possessor. However,
as shawls are considered more for their use
than for their ornamental qualities We do
not think there will be any material change

Address Of Mrs. Clara NeYman.

The following address was delivered
before the Steinway Hall Woman Suf-
frage Delegation in New York by Mrs.
Clara Neyman, n sweet-vOiced, pretty
and earnest German lady, whose man
ner caDtiVated her audience and fairly
took the house 10y storm:
appearing before you, a stranger to
the language, | must crave your indul-
gence for any deficiencies in either ex-
preston or pronunciation. / prefer to
attempt to express myself in the Ian
guage of my adopted country, being
conscious that shall thereby be under
stood by both German and American
friends.
The question of the equality of the
sexes has-thanks TO the untiring eff
forts of a few high-minded men and
women-extended to such degree as
must gladden. the hearts of all those who
are to-day hoping for the speedy politi-
cal emancipation of one half of the hu-
man race.
We live in an age of general enlight-
enment, in which old customs and su-
perstitious prejudices must give way to
the march of progressive ideas. The
blind faith called forth and fostered
through the ignorance of the masses is
Z
of science, as well rs i'm political and so
cial questions. We observe n desire and
longing for truth and reality which has
never been witnessed before.
But let us not underrate the import
ance of the great work we have yet 10
accomplish. Much is still to be done
before we can reach the desired goal,
and we call upon all progressive minus
to do everything in their power TO oo-
tain il. Much can he done in our fani-
ly circles by properly training the youth
to believe the equality OF the sexes, and
especially by imparting to our girls
better and more thorough ana more sen
sible education.
Much must also be accomplished by
the constant agitation OF these matters
i'm a wider sphere, and by the force of
our own example in our everyday LIE
and actions.
Having once obtained our object, and
thus freed women from the political and
social bondage of the dark ages, all
those who have cO-Operated in this at
tainment may then look with proud
and lofty feelings upon the efforts they
have made to accomplish it. For this
will be the first grand revolution in his
tory to occur without the shedding of
blood, and from it will be dated an era
of peace that shall bless the whole hu-

man family. The peaceful solution OF
this question will proclaim to the world
the knowledge that there IS no more
need of contest and no further call for
human sacrifice to crafty mans vitiated
ambition.
Although little has been heard among
the Americans from German citizens
in regard to this subject, yet their lead
ers have not been less energetic than
their American eo-workers. Their style
of agitation is different. They act more
quickly, and if they lack IN spirited
demonstration, they gain III dlspatch
and thOroughness. Their work IS, there
fore, not the less important. In all the
mOmentOus hours of this Republic the
Germans have been ut their post in
times of danger and necessity, and it
would be unjust and short-sighted in
Americans to ignore the significance of
the German clement.
A great many German societies have
already declared themselves for equal
rights and adopted in their platforms
the principle of Woman Suffrage, and
we count among our most earnest advO-
Gates by far the greater part of all the
German Radicals in this country.
A few months ago there was formed
in this city a great German Woman
Suffrage Association. We held our first
great meeting on the 2lst of April in
the large Turner's Hall, which was
crowded to excess, and the speeches by
the German suffragists created storms
of applause. Discussion was thus awak-
ened, and a general interest brought out
for this great reform.
We feel that we have much cause to
congratulate ourselves upon the action
of the great Society of the Turner's,
numbering many thousands of men,
bers, among whom are many of the
most profound thinkers of the period.
In their Annual Report this body of
men declare themselves positively in
favor of suffrage for women.
And now let me close with an earnest
appeal that the great suffrage societies
of this Nation may hereafter work to-
gether for this great important object,
that we may establish in this new and
beautiful land a Government of the
whole people, which shall be a model to
all NatiOns.n

DISREPUTABLE.

OF all the disrepuatble transactions of
the late election none was quite so
low as the publication, on the morning
of voting day, by the Bulletin of this
city, for electiOneering effect, of re-
port that Governor Grover had par
doned several conyicts i'm order to OBJ
tain their votes for the Democratic
ticket. OF course there was not the
slightest degree of truth in the report.
And now the editor of the Bulletin, when
called upon TO explain and give his au
thority for the report, merely responds
with silly attempts at pleasantly and
wittieism. This occurrence reminds us
of a very similar one which occurred
In Portland a number Of years ago. An
election roorback was put in circulation
by a certain editor, who did not even
notify his friends that it was an I'M
truth. A member of this same editors
party-a whole-souled, honorable man
believing the canard TO be true, indus
triously circulated it. An explanation
and the authority being demanded, this
gentleman came to the editor, and, to
his great establishment, found that the
report had not the semblance of truth
in it. The gentleman was very much
perpleXed in this dilemma. The editor
came to his relief with this lucid il not
very honest plan: "You refer them to
me; will tell them that W was my
authority" "Why, you didn't get il
from him, did your" "NO; but then
you see he is about as big a liar as am,
and the consequence will be that his
friends will believe that lie, and my
/ friends will believe that he lies"
The reason, doubtless, that the editor
of the Bulletin did not pursue a similar
course was because he could find no per-
son whose reputation for veracity was
so near bankrupted as his own.

rHE PACIFIC SLOPE CONVENTION.
LAFAYErrE, Ogn., June s, is.

LAFAYETTE, Ogn., June s, 1872.
DEAR NEW NORTHWEST
In looking over the columns of the
last Peoples Paper see ''Call for 4
Pacific Slope Woman Suffrage Conven-
tion." Now l do not know that you
will think it amiss if / give you few of
my thoughts on this momentous ques-
tion. In the first place any candid per-
son who is not biased by prejudice will
admit that Woman Suffrage Conven-
tiOns are productive of good results.
For instance, the late New York Con-
vention-if it accomplished nothing else
worthy of nOte-was the agency which
brought about the "bolting' of ''the
Woodruff and her infatuated follow
ers, and nothing could have happened
which would have been so productive oil
good to the "Woman Movement" as has
this one act of this avowed "free lover"
We are all aware that for the past year
and half her name has been reproach
to the cause. That she is n wonderful
woman none can deny, and that she has
done much towards bringing about the
emancipation of her sex all must admit;
yet her many vagaries have been detri-
mental to the cause she has so distract
edly represented. And, now that she
and her many foibles can no longer be
hnrled at the "Stanton wing" of the
Woman Movement, the same will be
rid Of an odium, q slur, which must re-
suit in great good for the cause of HUI
man Rights.
Relative to the plausibility Of these
conventions, and to the "Pacific Slope
Woman Suffrage Convention" in partic-
ular, it would be desirable if Oregon
could be represented in our sister State
by delegates from each and every local
ity where persons reside who have been
hOnOred by receiving circulars inviting
them to participate in the proceedings
of said Convention, for by agitating and
taking lively interest i'm the same il
will serve to keep the people of this
coast wide awake on the subject, and
will have a tendency to cause them to
investigate the matter for themselves,
thereby paving the way for the enfran-
chisement of one-half the people of Oul
great, glorious and free(?) Republic.
We should ever bear in mind that We
not working solely for ourselves, but in
part for the good Of future generations
In "the good time coming" historians
will marvel that here in America, in
the nineteenth century, "equal right:
for alp existed only in name. That the
great goal Of justice will soon be reached
is, however, the firm belief and prayer
of FAITH.

gentlemen! Yes, polite, sauve, polished
gentlemen(?) lie in wait on the street
corners, gloating over the innocence and
infantile charms of our little girls! Oh!
imagine the joy of your associatesI That
is the way you and they protect women
and helpless children!
"What would we do with the ballot?
We would besiege the citadel of public
opinion until our votes, counted with
the votes Of truly good men, would cause
laws to be enacted that should make
it an offense punishable with the Peni-
tentiary for man to marry a child of
thirteen years. We would apprentice
all whisky sellers and gamblers for a
term of years to learn trades by which
they could make an honest and honora-
BILE living. We would use the ballot to
save the world, not to curse it,"
The young man fell back to the old
assertion that "priority of creation made
man the head of woman" The poor to-
baeco slave could not see that by that
logic mules, having been created before
men, were therefore the head of the
man, or the masters and rulers of men.
According to Genesis the horse and his
kind were created before man, and the
young mans logic, if correct, should be
sent to Congress and the several State
Legislatures, so that they may know
who are their lawful superiors. We
honestly think that the bray of a sensible
mule would be as rational as much of
the opposition to our claims for equality
before the law.

PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEES.

The Philadelphia Republican, Con-
vention re-nominated General Grant
for the Presidency. Senator Henry Will
son, Of Massachusetts, Is the nominee
for Vice President. This makes four
Presidential tickets in the field-Davis
and Parker, Of the Labor party; Gree
ley and Brown, Liberal Republicans;
woodruff and Douglass, Free Love, In
ternstionals, Communists, and what-not;
and Grant and Wilson, straight Re
puollcans. The Democracy will proba-
Dry not make any regular nominations,
out content themselves with endorsing
Hreeley and Brown. 1t is not alto
gether improbable that Woman suf-
frage-or rather Human Rights-ticket
will also be in the field.

MRS. WoODHULL's CANDIDACY.

For humorous reading now we COM
mend our readers to the columns of ''the

Of that celebrity for the Presidency.
That the infatuated leader Of the free
lovers and Internationals really believes
she will be elected there can be no
doubt. Schemes for the bestowment Of
Federal patronage, the overthrow of
monied aristocracy, the equal distribu-
ton Of wealth, the abolishment of in
terest rates and the complete demolition
of the marriage system, are some of the
hobbies upon which she expects to ride
into power.
1t is indeed pitiable to behold a wom-

luded and deluding her followers. 1t is
the old story over again Of the blind
leading the blind till both fall together

BRIEF EDITORIALS.

Mrs. Duniway will probably be home
about the first of next month.
''Faith's" suggestion in reference TO
sending delegates to the Pacific Slope
Convention is very good and should be
acted upon.
The Republicans had a Temperance
plank in their State platform in the
election campaign just closed. The
Republicans have elected q majority of
the Legislature. Will they enact a
stringent Temperance law?
The last Monmouth Messenger gives
space to long-winded essay from some
other paper Illuminating against wom-
ans right to preach. How long will
old fogies continue to place the Bible
across the track of the invincible ear of
progress?
The "funny fellow" of the Herald
tells how, in order to save the weak
candidates of his party from attack dur
ing the late campaign, he drew the Re
publican fire upon himself. The idea!
60 to, old braggart! That may do to
tell where you came from, but it's too
thin for this latitude.
The Philadelphia Convention throws
out this bait to Woman Suffragists:
''The Republican party is mindful of
its obligation to the loyal women of
America for their noble devotion to the
cause of freedom. Their admission to
usefulness is received with satisfaction,
and honest demands of any class of citi-
zens for additional rights should be
treated with respectful consideration"
All very fine. but nothing to the point.
The Olympia Courier objects to wom-
ans taking the "short cut to liberty" f"
as Mrs. Stanton calls it, and wants a
Sixteenth Amendment. We would re-
mind the Courier that slavery in Eng
land was abolished by a more liberal
construction of laws passed without ref
erenee to the subject at all. But we
care not about the manner in which
the enfranchisement of woman may be
! brought about While we believe
that women have the right to vote un-
der the fundamental law of the land,
yet we would give a Sixteenth Amend
ment our most hearty support.
