close these remarks. In America it is tit that women
should r.se up in the perturbed state of public feeling, i
and as everywhere they do?make for peace and sound
knowledge; peace of conscience with purity. You
will remember that when Christ had lain in the tomb
for three da* s, and men thought the world was empty
ot him, it waa women who went to theeepulchre, a?k
king as they went, " W ho shall roll away the stone f"
liehoid, when they got there it was rolled away, and
an ange' sat upon it! And now the women of America
are going to the tomb of liberty, saying, *' Who shall
