Another tact, which from ) t!ie freonent reference made to it, seemed to ,, ! be greatly relied on by the pujfee, if not hv the ? putJo>'s, was that physicians, the only class of community competent to judge of his pretenj siens. every where pronounced him an impos, ! ter. The article on the first page, from the ' Cumberland Presbyterian, lira,ted "Williams i the oculist," will throw light on the character I 3 of the nun; and pet haps excite conjectures in " regard to some of the editorials aforesaid. 1 J vWe have seen evidence winch satisfied us, r. ; that in the -Tallier land, it is a tiling ui no - very unusual occurrence, for a man who is too r ; iazy to work, and not too honest to live upon i the earnings of others if he can devise means to gi t iio'd of tiiem witliout endangering his : nec!:, to start out with some trap, or cure-all, or laborsaivig machine, and travel from town to town, write editorials for the Gazettes, or if lie cannot do it himself, hire others to do it for ' him, setting forth in pompous supcrlaticrs the p ' extraordinary advantages ef his invention. ,f . These editorials are iascrtedand charged ac| cording to t v" size of the letter in which they : are set, and the elevation of their location in * ! that space appropriated exclusively to the pro> ductions of the cduvi's own mind and heart, ? | and for the truth of all which his name and 1 j character are pledged to his readers. Tie [ i Jiave sometimes betbiC, seen editorials, in , i tiiis country, which reminded us of the JE.og - ' lish practice in such cases. The following article we cut from an ex1 j change paper two months ago. We now in' I sort it as well for the amusement of the read, j i er, as to show the extent to which the spirit j of fanaticism will drive even females. This is j the first time that we have seen an account of 1! a public meeting of ladies in any ago or na| tion. christian or heathen, to consider, debate . i and decide upon important questions of state | policy. We suppose they will next appoint agents to travel and lecture after the example j 01" Fanny Wright. We do not mean, m imi. tat ion ct her character, or manners, or the ; | matter or style of her lectures. The ladies of j the abolition convention are of good moral1 t I and religious character; but this does not ren. der them infallible^ or exempt them from lia, j bility to sinful and unfemeniue extravagances.

The number of delegates was 71, and 107 women gave in the;r names during the sittings of the con *i vention as corresponding members, besides many who attended as spectators. The sittings of the convention were deeply interesting and important, and conducted with a dignify and taknt which was truly gratifying. The convention passed many resolutions, numbers of which were sustained by animated remarks rorn d; tie rent individuals, others called forth interesting debates, and though jja few believed it their duty to have their names registered on the. minutes as dissenting from tiro of the resolutions, yet even those uvie eased by a large majority, and the harmony of the body was unbroken. A letter was also addressed by this convention to the woman of Great Britain, and one to J. Q,. Adams. Lydia M. Child proposed to the convention a systematic flan of petitioning which was adopted. It was thought best to begin to roll uu onr petitions into country memorials, instead of sending them from cities and towns,as it was mentioned that J. Q.
