We would repeatthat we don't wish, I say we, for I know it would meet with a hearty response In the hearts of all the ladies present, to put the rights of the sterner sex in the shade, but simply to claim that woman was created for a nobler purpose than devoting all her time to common drudgery; and all the compensation for this is our husband's protection. Now, wo do not wish to scorn their protection, in fact, we would hardly like to confess how highly we prize it; all we wish is to claim it from an intelligent standpoint. True, they are all willing to concede to us the right to marry, and sometimes I am tempted to think that they are prompted to that from selfish motives, namely self.com fort. Perhaps they would like to argue that point. The ladies of Utah have sent in a petition to the Legislative Body now assembled, praying the passage of a bill, or some enact ment, that will remove tin; obstacle now in the way of woman holding oflice.

There is no shutting your eyes to the truth, that the thinking women of America, from A bagail Adams, of nearly a hundred years ago, down are not satisfied withThe old order of things, but insist that the very spirit of our so palled free institutions, demands for our sex, perfect equality without which is mockery to talk of a free country or a free people. Twenty years ago the enthusiastic Abolitionist who predicted the emancipation of the colored men on this continent, in less than a decade, was considered insane and today many of you may think the cause I advocate equally hopeless, but I a infirmly convinced, that tho dawn of the new century will find the question settled and woman clothed with the full powers, and privileges of citizenship. You men of Holt County, will soon havo an opportunity to place yourselves on record. See to it that you come with clean hands, clear heads,and pure motives to try our ease, remember we can really do nothing without your assistance and if you use the reason God has given you, to weigh and measure our claim?, you mutt see that only one course is open to you. Mothers train your sons to feel that their first vote will be but another blow for your enfrauehisment. Teach our daughtera to struggle now, and forever for the God given right, to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness in her own way, bearing in mind that we can have no power to protect ourselves from unjust taxation, or unequal laws, until we have our political disabilities removed. We can never realize the full idea of a representative government, while such women as Maria Mitchell the astornomer or Anna Dickenson the orntor, may be represented by a bundle of newly arrived foreign ignorance, or a drunken negro outvotes the queen of the rostrum, and so on down to the millions of quiet home loving vomen who want a voice at same law which holds oceans in its bed, and planets in their courses will inspire those two mysterious sovereigns wo call man and woman to transact their gayest, and gravest affairs with no jar or hurt,but mutual benefit to each other and ierpetual help to all last session.sevcral women, and listened to.

Lust winter Congress recived petitions for a 16th Amend, merit to the Constitution, giving the ballot to women, signed by tens of thousands of tione3t and intelligent women from every state in the Union and they were not all sour old maids, eitherbut most of them mothers. For over four years tho women of Wyoming have voted, and tho experiment seems to be attended with no startling result, Judge Kingman says, That since the women ote in Wyoming that rowdyism P O N EN T least on the whiskey question. That the revolution we ask for, will bring some changes no one can doubt, but knowing in whom, and what they have believed new seas of agitation can have no perils for those who sail by the compass of truth. The Last winter the legislature of Massachusetts passed a bill allowing women to vote on school questions and already, thousands of the best and most intelligent women in that state are registering, and many have already assisted at school elections.
