quite subordinate to their other moral duties and is in the lowest of them all and why Simply for the vory good reason that all their other ave sanctioned by lhat inward monitor which cannot direct

levelling such as that the poor have a right to share equally the property of the rich We should as soon think of in- sisting that the plain-looking or the ly had an equal right lo beauty and health with the handsome and the strong yet such is the meaning attached to equality Neither do we mean to assert that man and women are strictly the same in their nature or character of mind but simply that in the grand characteristics of their nature thoy are the same and they differ it is in the minor features that they resemble far more than they differ from each other And by equality we moan equal civil and legal rights such an equality as will prevent tho rich or wise man from having more power over his than his riches or wisdom naturally give him And from this rule we can soc no reason whatever for excluding tho female half of the human race The weaker they are greater is their need of equal rights they may not fall under Ihc ny of the stronger portion of their race Besides all their natural disadvantages they have at present a heavy artificial weight to keep them clown in tho scale of society It that weight wera taken off they would only rise to their natural level in society not one inch above Hugo Reid's Plea for Women If a look comes from the heart it will reach EXTRAVAGANCE IN OLD a price current published at Philadelphia in 1720 TEA is quoted at fifty lings a

WELLES ANSWER Wo giving a public answer Ic I he foregoing communication made we doubt not in good faith for several sons Principal among these is tho strong desire we have that justice should bo done o all men and we think Mr Van has not been fairly drall by in the ers referred o It is true that Mr Van Buren was one of the early supporters of Mr Clinton for the office of President in the year 1812 in opposition to Mr son that he look part in the republican Legislative caucus at which Mr C was irst nominated That caucus UQS held and that nomination was made on the of May nearly a month before the declaration of war The elections in this late were then held in April and the year commenced on the first day of July Mr had been chosen lo the Senate in April but was nnt of course a member of the ture lhat made the nomination His term commenced only on tho first Monday of July and ho first took his seat at the extra session held in ber to choose the Presidential electors Furthermore it is also true that Mr Clinton became the candidate of peace party Yet it is not true that he was originally nominated as that Mr Van Buron after taking his scat in the legislature supported him as Ho Mr C was in fact driven into lhat position by the force of circumstances and it is no marc than justice to Mr Van Buren lo say thai after Mr Clinton be- came identified with the peace party as their his support of him be- came languid Indeed we have reason lo believe that he thenceforward throw threw his influence as far he could do so the previous committal of the legislative caucas which he held to be binding upon the party in behalf of Mr Madison The truth is Mr ton was never nominated or as an opponent to the war lut directly the reverse He was thus nominated and supported expressly upon ihc ground that the crisis demanded a more vigorous the helm of state than Mr son's The war had not been actually ed it is true but every intelligent man saw that it was inevitable and very near and it was feared that under Mr son's administration it would bo feebly conducted Believing the times demanded an executive of greater energy Presidential on 8300 8500 8500 8500 8500 8500 Maine N Hampshire

by means of her troops of squatters and legions of emigrants of the most favorable and advantageous spots on thut noble stream It is plain that the possession of the i Oregon Territory is regarded by
