Woman's Rights. I ftn'c To rtfl W. America the conntrr, and " *" a ?Sqw York tho city, of conventions. We have political, religious, agricultural, financial, weohauical'and working-wen's conventions. The monster of the genu9, the Evangelical Alliance, has but recently adjourned, and followingclo.se upon it, in tho city of New York, oth.rs have-been in session.? Prowineut among them, for novelty uud interest, were the Association for the Advancement of Women, and the Woman Suffrage Association. The ambitipus and strongininded women of our country are unwilling that the sterner sex should have the monopoly of congregating and talking. So they have been in Congress, and have discussed their wrongs, consulted together upon remedies for these wrougs, exchanged mutual congratulations upon tho magnificent capacities of the female sex, and bemoaned their exclusion from positions of profit and power.And men were at these Conventions too, on.l- liM-ml their kind abused, submitted to the abuse, and acquiesced in its justice.? The?e meu may have been actuated by a lofty gulijuitry, or they may expect and bopo to profit, by the real or supposed weakucss of their .mistresses, and ride into high posisilions, when the women have justice done fhem, and get the ballot. This is their last dependence, for tliey kuovt that they can never get. a man to vote for them. I The Conventions' were presided over by , women; women opened the meetings with prayer/and read the essays, and. made the speo^hes. Mrs. Hooker thought that if women wore allowed to vote, the addition of such a number of untrained voters would put an end to the whole system of caucusing and wirepulling. A paper by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps asserted that if the Congress oould induce two women to abandon corsets, it would do more good than the Forty-second Congress, or the Evangelical Alliance. Miss Phoebe Cousins, of the St. Louis Bar, said to be tho tnost handsomely dressed woman ; ? fli?> Convention, advocated "the higher education of women." Mrs. Woolson, of Xew' Hampshire, read a paper on "Reform In DreSa," In which she rtiltculcil the styleq of dress fashionable ameng women, and said that men's atiire had reached the height of ugliuess. The Rev. Celia Burleigh read an essay ou "The Relations of Woman to her Dress," in which she contended that Wotpcn must be free to dress as they please : that drcsfc had subjugated woman and prevented hor from meeting man on an equality, and that the' present dross is ugly, unnatural and immodest. (We suppose that the Reverend lady wants to dress, as well * < ? \ Tlf TT "D a*.. as act like a maniur?. neurji u. oiautow advocated the co-education of the sexes in the pawe colleges, being confident that associi^tinn with the male niiscreauts could i^>t coutaiuinato the young ladies,^and that possibly the former uiight be civilized by such ati arrangement, and Mrs. Caroline A. Soule, of New York, contended for mixed JVofessorships in such Colleges. In short, sivernlof these ladies grew powerfully indignant over the non-appreciation of their merits, shown by the male kind, and indulged in sarcasm, invective, and abuse. They chafed at the hardness of their lot, and the narrow sphere in which they were allowed to move. Miss Phoebe Cousins evidently thinks that she is a tweets as a lawyer, for -I*- a fnhiro fn? iknV nrn. MIC pi UU IVIU VI a p?UU AUVUI V ?Ut WtlKV J??V fession when more women nhall have entered it, a great advance in purity and profundity. It appear? from the proceedings of the "Women Suffrage Association," that committees are busy in many States, urging and working for the cause of Female Suffrage, and they report progress, aud speak words of cheerto those who covet the privilege of ilnmlderiiig the ' great unwashed" on election days, and casting the ballot for the candidate ui their choice. We hope the learned ladies enjoyed their Conventions, and do not doubt that they accomplished as much good as is ever achieved by the numerous meetings held by the men of the country. Hut suppose that they get all that they j desire, the right to attend the Colleges with 1 men, to wear the .'nine clothes .is men do, I to goto the p >lls and vote with mon, to practice law and medicine side by side with ; men. will they be any better off? We think that the ladies, in their present condition, i are much superior to a vast majority of the , " lords of creation" of our acquaintance. If j they ever so fur forget themselves as to con-, Jeseend to our piano of daily existence^ they will flnd'tho greater part of us very ! wutouiptiblc croaturcs, and our lot a hard joe, aud not to be desired, in spilo of its imagined privileges and advantages.
