Our readers will sen that wa iln every tiling in our power to lfep thetn thorugbly | osled in what effects them so directly. Right of Dower Assailed. A bffl to abolish the right of dower, passed to n third reading in the House. This is another ungallant hlow at the interest of the more defenceless part of our population.? The right of dower, a secured interest in the husband's real estate, is a natter of immense importance to the women of tho land. It is time-honored?productive of no serious hnrin to husbnnd??and is ofteu the only means of support that a woman ean expect to enjoy in the estate of her husband when left a widow. The policy is a had one. It is calculated to bring incrcnsed anxiety to ninny a true wife, whose husband, front the misfortunes of debt, speculation, securityallip, or it inny be frcin reckless dissipation, or from nny cause of loaiug his property. Tho hill is calculated to make paupers of many helpless women and children who may loso the head of tho family. ltut the Legislature of the Stato in this, as in other things, seems to be managed for the exclusive benefit of speculators and money dealers. Wc have no idea that the Legislature, under it? present influences of tho mon.-v power, would have passed a homestead wet or have abolished imprisonment for debt, (and this Mr. Conniv has, in a manner, restored in fact,) or done any tiling not in the interest of speculators. We may expect the city ditilys to advocnie this hill, as it can only luy open more effect- | unity to the prey of money speculator* and traders, all the real estate of South Carolina. They can credit, or Inko mortgages, or purchase, at low rates, lands from all men who arc bard run, or sue And sell out hpuses, nnd lots, and lands, and securely defy the women nnd children. One of the groat hindrances to mnrriago nnd the renring of families, is, with many, tho fear of poverty nnd helpless want I ? for the wife and her little ones, should sho survive her husband. Take away the right of dowor, and you add greatly to that discouraging consideration, and that among not the most inferior clashes of the population.? ! Itecnuse the law protects the wife's property, is no reason (or abolishing the right of dowor. The wife's lands always reverted to her on the death of the busbiind ; and yet, both in 1 England and in this country, that fact never was drean.cd of as depriving her of dower.? The bill in addition to its being a thing of wretched policy, is, In one view, an insult to every poor woman in the Btato. IIow few women have a good properly of their own.? The great majority are poor, and but a com- 1 parative few possessed of a competency. We hope the vote in the House on the bill 1 was recorded, so that hereafter, when the women get the privilege of voting, those who are trying to takeaway their right of dower, may be doly punished and put oat of the plieri of authority which they ao ungalluntly j abuse. Their rote* prove then to be shabby j statesmen? updtserving (he regardy of woman kind. The sooner they rsconshUr and repent, tbe better. Bat ran they hope thut Ooveroor Scott will approve the measure?? He bad better not want tbe women to vote hereafter, II b* risks approval.
