nest words of truth and soberness in a spirit
of kindness. To discuss the rights, duties, sphere, and destiny
of woman fully and fearlessly. So far as our voice shall be
heard, it will be ever on the side of freedom. We shall not
confine ourselves to any locality, sex, sect, class, or caste,
for we hold to the solidarity of the race, and believe if one
member suffers, all suffer, and the highest made to atone for the
lowest. Our mystical name, _The Una_, signifying _Truth_, will be

_The Una_ could boast for its correspondents some of the ablest men
and women in the nation; such as William H. Channing, Elizabeth

large assemblage of electors on behalf of her husband, the
Conservative candidate. She was enthusiastically greeted by the
populace.

century dawns, women will not simply fill your offices of Register of
Deeds, but they will occupy seats in your Legislative Halls, on your
judicial benches, and in the executive chair of State and Nation. We
deprecate it, yet we perceive its inevitability, and await the shock
with firmness and composure."

This same year, _The Una_ narrates the following amusing incident that
occurred in the town of P----, New Hampshire: It is customary in the
country towns for those who choose to do so, to pay their proportion
of the highway tax, in actual labor on the roads, at the rate of eight
cents an hour, instead of paying money. Two able-bodied and

the ready cash required of them, determined to avail themselves
