our remarks during the time they
have been amusing our citizens. His insane attack shows that our
course has been the true one.

To the credit of Mr. Greeley, he made an effort to suppress the
disturbance. Raymond, of _The Times_, gave the following report:

_Times, September 8, 1853._

(Evening of the first day, Mrs. Rose speaking).

stilling the tumult, the officer collaring several men and
compelling them to keep quiet. Mrs. Rose resumed and continued
her remarks.

though voices were loud and angry, and the evil passions
exhibited themselves with much of that quality to affright, which
usually, if not always, attends their exhibition, not a scream
was heard from any woman, nor did any of the "weaker sex" exhibit
the slightest terror, or even alarm at the violent manifestations
which invaded the peace of our assemblage.

I felicitate the women on this exhibition of fortitude; of calm
moral courage. Should not our
