isses, Lucy herself, Emily Clark,
Susan B. Anthony, Antoinette Brown, some Harriets and Angelinas,
Melissas and Hannahs, with a Fanny too (and more's the pity for it
is a sweet name) and sundry matrons whose names are _household_
words in _newspapers_--are to be in open hostility to the regularly
constituted temperance agencies, under cover of association with
whom they have contrived to augment their notoriety. The delegates
at the Brick Church, who took the responsibility of knocking off
these parasites, deserve the thanks of the temperance friends the

The New York Sun, Moses Beach, editor, said:

as their representatives women whom they must and do despise? Will
any pretend to say that women, whose tongues have dishonored their
God and their Savior, while uttering praise of infidels and infidel
theories, are worthy to receive the suffrages of their Christian
sisters?...

We were much pleased with the remark made a few days since by one
of the most distinguished as well as refined and polished men of
the day on this very subject: "What are the rights which women
seek, and ha
