the horrors of intemperance--can draw aside the
curtain and show us the wreck it makes of domestic love and home
enjoyment--can paint the anguish of the drunkard's wife and the
miseries of his children. Wisdom would seem to dictate that those
who feel the most severely the effects of any evil, should best
know how to remove it. If this be so, it would be difficult to
give a reason why women should not act, indeed lead off in this
great temperance movement.

A most exciting and interesting debate arose on some resolutions
introduced by the Secretary, Mrs. Griffing, condemnatory of the
action of the World's Temperance Convention in undelegating Miss
Brown, and excluding her from the platform.

These resolutions are so pithy, that I can not refrain from

"_Resolved_, That we regard the tyrannical and cowardly
conformation to the 'usages of society,' in thrusting woman from
the platform in the late so-called, but mis-called World's
Temperance Convention, as a most daring and insulting outrage
upon all of womankind; and it is with the deepest shame and
mortification that we learn that our own State of Ohio furnished
the delegate to officiate in writing and presenting the
resolutions, and presiding at the session when the desperate act
was accomplished.

"_Resolved_, That our thanks are due to the Hon. Neal Dow, of
Maine, the President of the Convention, for so manfully and
persistently deciding and insisting upon and in favor of the
right of all the friends of temperance, duly delegated, 10 seats
and participation in all the proceedings."

The friends of General Carey rallied, and with real parliamentary
tact moved to lay the resolutions on the table. There was much
excitement and some nervousness. The remarks made _pro_ and _con_
were pithy and to the point. The motion to lay on the table was
lost by a large majority. Mrs. Griffing supported her resolutions
with much coolness and conscious strength. The General had few
defenders, and most of those soon abandoned him to his fate, and
fell back upon the position of deprecating the introduction of
what they called the question of Woman's Rights into the
Convention. All, however, was of no avail; the resolutions passed
by a large majority,
