and amid much applause.

After recess an attempt was made to reconsider this vote. The
President urged some one who voted in the affirmative to move a
reconsideration, that a substitute might be offered, condemning
the action of the World's Convention in reference to Miss Brown,
"as uncourteous, unchristian, and unparliamentary." The motion
was made evidently from mere courtesy; but, when put to vote, was
lost by a very large majority. The delegates from Oberlin, and
some others, joined in the following protest:

"We beg leave to request that it be recorded in the minutes of
the meeting, that the delegation from Oberlin, and some others,
although we regard as uncourteous, unchristian, and
unparliamentary, the far-famed proceedings at New York, yet we
can not endorse the language of censure as administered by our
most loved and valued sisters."

Thus fell General Carey, probably mortally wounded. His vitality,
indeed, must be very great, if he can outlive the thrusts given
him on this occasion. What rendered his conduct in New York more
aggravating is the fact that heretofore, he has encouraged the
women of Ohio in their advocacy of temperance, and promised to
defend them.

It is not, however, for Ohio men to interfere in this matter.
Ohio women have shown themselves abundantly able to take care of
themselves and the General too.

LETTERS FROM FRIENDS IN OHIO.

Mrs. R. A. S. Janney, in reply to our request for a chapter of her
recollections, said:

The agitation of "Woman's Rights" began in Ohio in 1843 and '44,
after Abby Kelly lectured through the State on Anti-slavery.

The status of the public mind at that time is best illustrated by
the fact that Catharine Beecher, in 1846, gave an address in
Columbus on education, by sitting on the platform and getting her
brother Edward to read it for her.

In 1849, Lucy Stone and Antoinette L. Brown, then students at
Oberlin College, lectured at different places in the State on
"Woman's Rights."

In 1850 a Convention was held at Salem; Mariana Johnson presented
a memorial, which was numerously signed and sent to the
Constitutional Convention. The same week Mrs. F. D. Gage called a
meeting in Masonic Hall, McConnellsville, and drew up a memorial,
which was also largely signed, and pre
