On Reading the account of the late disgraceful trial of we. Gtd than and oth for riot in defending i War Houm against the assault of an infuriated mob. Alton of a name de tet i steeped in guilt and infamy Alton All thy Hopes Are blasted banished is thy Liberty. Alton once so celebrated Foi thy acts of Charit a now despise and Shunn d and hated.

Fot the is which thou Hast broken trampling on Jehovah s Law. The part of Mui. A majority of men appear to reason in this Way. The wife was to be subjection to her husband and he is a Man and a is a woman therefore every woman should be in subjection to Man. It is strange that it never occurred to May in to reason in this Way pc very son is to be in Subj action t o Liis in other and she is a Foman and be a Man therefore every Man should be in subjection to m Oman for no Rule is a Good one except it works both ways. \ Wom Aiu a help meet for Man. Woman is not subordinate to Man As Man but designed by her creator As his auxiliary in the government of this world although he May think that it is Good for him to be alone in this matter and that his Sapient head and colossian shoulders Are amply sufficient to sustain its ponderous machinery. In proof w a give the fifth Precept of the decalogue which is the source of All authority. The authority of parents is Paramount to All other human authority and is More extensive As every child has parents As is beautifully illustrated in the conduct of Solomon towards his Mother. Notwithstanding he surpassed All the Kings of the Earth in riches and i Shlom and was decked with All the magnificence of an Eastern Monarc i yet on the approach of his Mother he arose from his throne and did her obeisance and caused her to be seated on his right hand.�?�1st Kings ii. 19. How obediently he. Receives and How respectfully he Speaks of the instructions of his Mother not Only when he was a child confined to the Nursery but when he became a Man at an advanced age seated on the throne she gives him directions How he is to conduct himself personally and also How he is to administer the government of his kingdom. And though dead the spirit of Gobi still speak ctr by Xxxi. From the beginning to the end of the 9lh verse.

Editor a the anti slavery Enterprise a As furnished a a High school of morals a where not Only the rights of the slaves Are taught but the moral s standing of the whole human family investigated. The part that females ire Designe d to act in the great drama this worlds performance is now passing the ordeal of examination. Upon this As upon almost every other moral question a diversity of opinion obtains. Hoping that truth May in a Ujj cited by discussion therefore sir with your permission a i said 1 will answer also my part i also will show mine although not directly associated with the great object contemplated by your paper yet it has a particular bearing on the anti slavery enter prize As woman s a Telfer ence is repudiated on the principle that they a class of comm sky designed to be governed arid Are out o f their sphere when they take upon them selves to Counse or suggest. Our position is that woman was created in gods moral image with Dominion Over the creatures equal with Gen. I. 27-28, stands erect in All the dignity of human nature Many a equal a equally vitally interested in whatever affects the interests of Mankind in time or eternity. It is equally their duty to Aid in ameliorating the condition of the whole human family the Mode of operation varying according to circumstances owing need Renee As does Man no More and no less to All with la awful authority when administered according to gods appointment whether in the Church the state or in the family. This we con Ider to he our standing a coniing to gods appointment. Thus stands the whole human family As we believe All Mankind Are created equal. Many a supremacy official not natural women owes subjection to Man springing out of certain relations. The wife owes subject que to her hush act Jar cause she is his wife not because he a Man Anu she Wom an. Woman was made a subordinate in the i s c ase for the punish ment of sin As she was first in the tons ression. Subordination does not be Cessano a imply inferiority nor Dees it say that the person having authority is Superior in qualifications. If the person ruling had always qualifications suited for his authority the ruled instead of being injured would he greatly benefited by it. In All associations it is necessary for one to preside. Two sovereigns seated on the same throne would be a two headed monster there would be a continual conflict for the Ascendancy. It was perfectly Wise As All gods ways Are Wisdom that the supremacy should be awarded to Man. , was first formed and had physical Power to Awe to obedience. We do not think we have any reason to All gods ways Are equal. It is a voluntary Nih eci Ioli. M have the Clerff be franchise. Though it is not generally customary for us to make the first overtures in such alliances still we hav it in our Power to be a. Yet truly woman a punishment has been like Caine a More than she could Bear. Her husband was to Rule Over her and if done in gods Way it is easily borne but the majority of men think that should be in subjection to them most now this is a great a Istance for god never. Null woman in subjection to Man As Man in any a Case whatsoever. But the subjection As we have previously shown arose out of the relation that subsisted. Wherever Obed nce is required on the Petrof Wottitz the corresponding duty is Ove on Jet to his parents As it Behoved him in our place to fulfil All righteousness. By the fifth Precept of the decalogue Sovereign Man is made to Bow to woman a pm nostrum Horren Dum a god having appointed him head not oily of die household but of the woman in part Cidar women were not always the subordinate class under the jewish theocracy where god was their immediate lawgiver and elector of their executive officers. They were appointed to fill the most important stations in the Commonwealth. The most stupendous achievement in a temporal Point of View Ever transacted on Earth was it the deliverance of the children of Israel from egyptian bondage and their p Massage through thu Wilder ass to the Promake d land in which two men and one woman were iii de the conspicuous instruments. The prominent character which Miriam holds in scripture history As to her instrumentality in that transaction is proof positive of itself. But god expressly testifies by the Mouth of the Prophet Micah that he had sent before the children of Israel Moses Aaron and i. 4. Deborah was very conspicuous As a prophetess and judge in Israel performed eminent services for the nation and was amongst the worthies that a waxed valiant in fight and turned to flight the armies of the Many others could be mentioned that eminently Subserve the Public interest but time would fail us. These examples will suffice to show that women were not precluded from the affairs of the world and to show that a men did not always take the we know that females did not hold conspicuous stations As Public rulers or leaders to the same extent As males nor do we think that the interests of Mankind would have been Subserve by such a _ course As it would have infringed on Impo Ite it duties which devolve on the female we wish Loma Keno invidious comp Ari soes Only to show the great error Mankind has run into. We thank god Fiat he has Given us such a partner of our toils who by the Energy of his is calculated to be instant in season and out of season for the performance of Many arduous duties Widich necessarily devolve on the human family. And we bless god for the Many mercies he has Confer ice in go Luoi inti ills . And we Hope we will have suitable gratitude and veneration for the iii a Otto Merit.

Hence for human Power to teau Sforina him into a beast or treat him As an article of Merchan ize is not Only a daring attempt to baffle the glorious designs of the most High in Many a creation and redemption but is in the most awful manner a trampling under foot the son of god and doing despite to the spirit of the Leople of the United states profess to be a Christian nation that is Christian like followers of Jesus \vi,o&6 precepts Are a Lovo thu neighbor As Lily self a and As you would that men should do to you do be even so unto them. But alas slavery is cherished in our bosom. Slavery in this our boasted land of Freedom holds in its cruel grasp More than two and a half millions of our Fel of mortals. Torn from their native Home forced irom the vows of con nubian love snatched from the endearing embraces of paternal affection and Tom the sympathy of fraternal kindness they Lave been and Are sold in the Market of human souls a a Market founded and kept up by injustice and plunder but destined yet to fall before be mighty influence of troth and reason. Deeply impressed therefore with these solemn and alarming considerations and believing that be time has fully come for All those who fear god Ove their country and Thor kind and value their own rights and Pri Eliges to unite together for the extirpation of slavery from our land we unitedly adopt and agree to be gov enied As a society by the Olio Wing Constitution. The Constitution is omitted being in the usual form Kupin. Twenty three signatures were attached to the Constitution and the following officers w Ere chosen. C. Cummins vice pres., Oliver Wylie corresponding and Job Stuart recording secy., and Jacob Fisher treasurer. We could not de tie i de a of Many a ,8up Nemo Macy As a hum an being is am Ong St the Many in Ven Lions that Man has found out since his fall and has been a fruitful source of calamity. Under it it great part of the rational creation has a groaned being burdened a and it has involved us in Many wild vagaries. Instead of All standing on the same platform and being governed by the same code of ethics we have our male and female Virtues. Corrupt Public sentiment has looked upon Man As Everi privileged to work iniquity. What would exclude a female from All respectable company would not lower them ale in the Esti Rii action of a Large portion of c0 a my nity a As a sex we have no reason to complain that Public opinion has frowned on our vices having the same corrupt nature and evil propensities this erroneous sentiment has been one Means of preserving us from those vicious habits which like a be for of destruction have swept so Many of the sterner sex from off this stage of action. And has this erroneous sentiment left Woinza uns Rathod a by no Means it has had a deleterious bearing on her sex. Woman is taught from her infancy that she is a being who has no co Icem with any thing that is go ing on in the world except tag her family affairs and some o f lib first principles of religion though it is acknowledged that both sexes Are equally interested in religion yet if she should go very deep into divinity she would be infringing on the clerical order and thus be out of her now what is the legitimate tendency of All this but to eclipse her intellect and paralyse her energies hence the frivolity and Idle gossip for which women Are so severely satirized.

Resolved that it is the duty of the Church in All her branches to Bear testimony against the sin of slavery. Resolved that in our opinion those ministers of the gospel who countenance the sin of slavery or Endeavor to publish to the world that tie Bible justifies such a horrible traffic in human beings As the american slave Trade have greatly erred and brought reproach upon the Honor of god in fed his to. Yours it Sec. O. Wylie Cor. Sec. The prevalent judgment of Christendom is strongly condemnatory of the wicked and shameful practice of american slavery. Slavery has succeeded in itself with an atmosphere so polluted to d that i be try sickens and Dies w within its limits. But As we recede from the poisoned Region w e find that this atmosphere loses its. Density and nox ious qualities until at length Freedom can live anal Bratlie and Justice and religion can utter in indignant tones their reprobation of the unchristian and Savage custom of slave holding. A. My Farlane. Sugar and silk manufactures. The North is no longer necessarily dependent on the South for sugar. Since it has been ascertained that sugar can be made from beets and pumpkins no Excil a remains of r us ii in e products of ii req la a Bur. y Tau iii Olio Lias not a a Quot a sugar Camp a can now Many facture his own sugar from the beets. A fact related by Pedder May furnish a hint to some. Says he a a in that neighbourhood Arras it is that a Small manufacturer Jean Joseph Vecerin has succeeded in preparing sugar Outra Small scale. I found his residence a tavern in the Village of Nain in the front parlor of which he had however contrived to manufacture about a half a ton of sugar by Means of machinery the most Siipple imaginable. In the fire place of Ali is room he had. Fixed his defector evaporator and boiler his w Ifer a washing tubs sen de for receivers and coolers and a single sugar pan was sufficient for a whole Days work. His rasp which was the Only tolerable instrument he was possessed of made four Hundred revolutions in a minute and was driven by his to o sons. In this we May he actually made Good sugar but his know ledge not extending to the purifying process much of it remains on his hands unsaleable. On my inquiring How Long each process required before its completion he replied a i cannot say for our Ope rations were ofte e com Petely stopped a the crowds which came to witness them but we sold Large quantities of Beer and Brandy by w Liili i did and in truth this seemed his strongest incentive to labor. The work is discontinued in consequence of the fear of the import Laws it he absolutely made Good sugar in a room fourteen feet Square. I saw the medal which had been presented to him by the a Royal Central society for the encouragement of agriculture a of which he is justly if the slaveholders could not make Money by their slaves they would emancipate them. Quot we have seen to w we m a Supply o ourselves beet Saiga a let us try Lio w we shall , with the Cotton. Perhaps though one other thing should be mentioned first Viz every free Man must refuse to use Sinigar manufactured by slaves for it is the Price of blood. This will Spur ingenuity to. More rapid inventions and will hasten the consummation so devoutly w shed. From an Iny estimation which 1 prosecuted last Winter to some considerable extent i ascertained that silk could be manufactured and raised cheaper than Cotton or Ilax. At least i satisfied myself on the subject. Childre i i a lid aged people can Etc a form most of. The labor of procuring the a Wask a Vilich is the principal part. Lei us make an estimate. W of Dicks Creek and Monroe anti slavery society. R War Rrth county March 7th, 1838. Dear sir a on ule 1st of january last the antislavery. Society of icky a Creek and Monroe Vas organized the election of officers a Constitution of the usual kind Haring been previously adopted by Quot the members or. Joshua Stevens of Mouroe was chosen president w. A. Caldwell record. Sec. And a. My Farlane Cor. Secretary. The following resolutions were adopted unanimously. 1. Resolved that slavery is a great evil moral and political and that the Only just Safe and of actual remedy is immediate emancipation. 2. Res. That the project of Southern slaveholders to Annex Texas to the United states to secure an Ascendancy to slave holding in the councils of the nation ought to meet with the disapprobation and opposition of every Friend to the liberties and welfare of this country. 3. Res that the religion which sustains attempts to justify slavery contradicts and Dis honors both the Law and the gospel infringes upon the authority of god and the rights of Man gives encouragement to the exercise of the worst passions of human nature and to the perpetration of the i Gatesl enormities which Spring from them. 4. Res that the late proceedings at Alton iii. Terminating in the murder of the lamented love Joy discover in a Strong but t a i it Light the spirit by w hich slaveholders and their allies Are a Tua ted and show that they will not hesitate at the com Mission of any crime in support of their a Peculiar 5. Res. That the Freedom of the North cannot consist with the slavery of the South and that if the slave holding influence should Preponderate in the Union we have reason to apprehend that the right of petition and the Liberty of speech and of the press will be entirely prostrated. 6. Res. That it is the imperative and Indi spen Sahe duty of every Man to Bear his decided testimony against the wicked system of american slavery and to use every scriptural and constitutional Means to effect its entire abolition. Ata subsequent meeting the society resolved to in one acre there Are 43,560 Square feet 1,210 Trees in one acre 6 it. By 6 4,840 a a a a a a lift by 6 each tree italian Mulberry 6 years old will produce 61, of leaves. 50 lbs. Of leaves some say 38 will feed 1000 Worms. 300 cocoons will weigh one Pound. 3000 cocoons or 10 lbs make one Pound of silk. 30,000 Trees g years old will produce 180,000 pounds of leaves which will feed at 45 pounds per thousand four Millitics of Worms. Allow 3000 to a Pound of silk this at $3 per Pound will amount to $3,999. Reeled silk is however oftener valued at five or six dollars the Pound than three. The above calculation is made on the White Mulberry. The introduction of the Morus Muu Caulis into this country will be an Era in the silk business. It will reduce the Liffor of raising the raw silk about one half if Nof two thirds. It saves nine tenths of the labor in Gath c Ting the Lea ves. Those leaves which Are found to produce belter Sofii grow from 25 to 35 inches in circumference. The Pound of them contains one third More nutritive matter than a Pound of the Best White Mulberry leaves i Hay a seen silk of Abe most durable texture manufactured in our Farmers families on the common spinning wheel or loom.

Their sewing silk vesting lust rings pocket handkerchiefs and dress handkerchiefs Are of the very Best Quality. Uliey have no ground occupied exclusively by mulberries but Plant their streets and Side walks and Garden alleys and Hedges with them. However to make the business at once successful and profitable every Farmer ought to Start a Nursery of Mulberry Trees immediately calculating in the course of a few years to have two or three set with them besides All his lanes and become auxiliary to Ohio anti slavery society and directed that an Alteo unt of the formation and proceedings of this society be communicated to the philanthropist. A a yours respectfully a m Farlane. We entertain the Hope that our society will increase in strength and efficiency and be Able to exert a salutary influence upon Public 8en,, in this re Gion. We Are c 0nfi,Dent that the truth Anc the fight How Over overborne for a time by obstinate prejudice and sordid avarice will finally prevail. We anticipate the formation of a popular sentiment which slavery with a All its Brazen impudence will not be Able to confront. Even now acres cd of the Louisiana emigrants of last year.
