Syracuse N. Y., Sept. 8th, 1852.
Mrs. K. Oukes Smith hna just delivered a
inustcily address, clothing the practical duty
before lis With the artistic lioauly of In r
pou'u; soul, urging to immediate act ion ill nil
possible ways "that this place alieady a
watch word of freedom, lie the Thcrinnpultio
where we take our stand until death."
Mis Lucy Stone rose to speak on thu first
resolutions. I can give you very little idea
of her eloquence. iinireM(ivent.,f -. nnd close.
clcur login from any pnrtiul repoit. tSliu
peaks without pri'piirulioii, hut ulo without
li.'Miution or wandering, nud is a universal
favorite with the audience. Pliu is hiiiuII in
staturo, dresses pnrliully a la liloemer, t hot U
in n neut dress of black silk, slightly thort
I'licd nud loosely ruling, beneath which nro
tight pnnts of the amiie material) id plain in
nppearnnce, hut with n dice, with n glow of
intellect, and features soltcncd into almost
imsitiva beauty, hy the thoroughly kind mid
loving rouI that look forth through thrill.
Tiiu present address wna characterized hy
her usual directness, consisting mostly of
illustrations of the working of the lawa in
n gard to woniiin. Among other alio men
tion! J a case in Huston, of n young lady
who uinrricd, bringing to her husband seve
i:d thousand Dollars, lie died liiur weeks
mii r llin marriage, nml hit relatives cnuiu
down from the country, entered their cluini
and secured two-third of her property.
A not her, of a mother, who had labored
wiili nil a true woinnn'a self-sacrificing devo
tion, to acrunuilate a sum sulliciciit to enrry
her only child, an invalid, to thu sea-shore,
us n Inst rhnnce of restoration, when thu
Inn il-hcarted hushnnd ond father learning
the place of drposile of this invaluuhlu
treasure, seized it, (you know it wna not
stealing undtr the laic, it wns his, because, the j
unman teat his, ho owned her) appropriated
it !' pay old debts, and lei) his child to diu
nnd his wife tc weep unavailing tears and
stiller untold miseries.
Another still, where a young ninn not long
married, wns sinking into the grave leaving
ii wilii mid daughter. A brother of his long
married and childless, wished greutly to ob
tain thu child as his own, nnd by continued
peistusions succeeded in securing mi article
1'iaking her over In himself upon the death
id' his brother. He alter wurds persuaded
ti n mother to consent to her return with
him to hia home, for a mere visit, hut when
upon the death of the father, the mother
Moto for her return, she wns informed it
w as no longer hers, but hit, and when in her
ih snlntion and anguish of snul alio aet oil'
f r the plncc, and sought legal advice, wns
eliowu us lieyond appeal the ilociuucnl in tho
tremulous hand of the sick hiisbund, making
over her own child to another. Von w ill
say ndded Miss S. ihut thesu were till very
mean men. Yes, hut remember just us
menu at the law atloict Hum to be.
Antoinette lirown, of Rochester, followed,
fiiio is like Mis H. a giaduato of Oheilin,
nud nn honor to it. lint quite unlike her
otherwise. I In lcs vigor mid strength, nud
less intellectuality of liice,in every way more
thoroughly feminine, hut is of inoro pleas
ing address and well cultivated mind. ,Sho
in god woman's right to he tried by her i
" " J -
ti ers, from the impossibility that one of nn
other sc.x should so well understand her na
ture, her peculiar trials and I limitations.
It is not so much because they will not, that
they cannot right women, they do not know
how to do if.
Mrs. I'.rnestine Rose, of New York city,
followed. She is a Polish lady, of fine tal
ents and cultivation, of prepossussiug per
M nnl nppcarnucu, her jiurk hair silvered
with grey, but nn eye of youthful ftro that
kindles into a brilliancy under thn glow of
thought. She dill'ered on some points from
Til: li. bi t urged thnt the right of woman
in n trial by her peers wns equally hers,
nheihcr she was unlike man or otherwise.
II nlike, the right wns ns evidently hers ns
bis, if unlike he cannot rightly understand or
represent her. She spoko of the charge of
niiibilioii brought against the women of ibis
ctliirt, nml insisted that a certain ainount of!
ambition i essential to full development mid
niceess in man, why not in woman. Is it
right nnd well to Im a great rnnn, but wrong
to bo a grunt woman? She decided wiih
r anicstnris the idea of si in mind or mor
ula, wo could not make n thing right in one
Hex and vt rong in the other. Shu said it was
proof of great native beauty, intellect, nnd
nobility of soul in woman that under ull tho
ilifcouingemeiits, und despite of nil hin
drance, she is good for, ns much ns she is,
nud many know that is little enough, ns a
sex. Said she we have only to make politi
cal nction legal, and it will he f.ishioiinble,
nnd instanced the effort in regard to the
rights of mnriied women to property, the
exceeding difficulty of obtaining the name of
n singlu woman to the undertaking, but now
that alter long years of persevering struggles
by the few, this has been gained lor them, no
woman of all New York lifts her voice in
opposition. Her earnestness of delivery nnd
the slight brogue of her utterance add much
tn the iiiiireiveUKss of w hat she has to say.
Miss U. exclaimed further, thai she claimed
t. either man nor woman to be tho superior,
but that there were peculiarities of mind ami
organization which required representation
woman should be represented us ahe is, us
woman. We don't want woman ushered
into public life as man, but as woman. If
like man, it is her right to go; if unlike her
duty.
Mrs. Nichols of Vermont, followed. She
is editress of the " Windham County Dem
ocrat," le ft in charge of it by the death of
her husband, and proving herself equal to
its care. I have spokeu of her before I think.
She said she rose as a political woman and
hocd she need not attempt to prove to them
that she bad not lost her womanhood. Said
the peculiarities of women do not viiiule
her humanity, but rather intensify it ond in
crease the necessity for the exercise of her
rights. Referred to the English common law
ns using the term " suspended" in applica
tion to the existence of married women.
She thought it a happy term as there were
now evident tokens of retilTn to life, at least
in some of the States, hoped she will be a live
w oman yet fully alive ere long. She argued
that since in accordance w ith the terms of this

Syracuse N. Y., Sept. 8th, 1852. Home Impressions.
Mr. II. M. Tract, now Mra. Cim.r.n, re
turned a few dnys ngn from a visit of some
thing over a yenr to F.nrnpe. tho went out
na a delegate from Ohio to the Pence Con
gress, nud remained in Kugland nnd France,
principally in tho former, actively engaged
in good works nnd in examining nnd com
paring the condition, characteristics, nnd
prospects of the Old World with the New.
Ihirinir her nbsenee Mrs. T. wrote a acriee
of interesting letters to the Ohio Statesman
nnd in nn epinlle from New Voik alio thus
gives tier sensntions nml impressions in re'
tinning to her native lutid:
Tint nfW seventeen dnvs. We found our
selves in sight of land, American land. 1
would not let my heart IkiiiikI up na it would

cause it is your iiulivo land, hut weigh well
its defects iiiininst its heaulics, nnd then you
can know nioio lully, whether yon nud your
country pcoilo lire the egregious boasters
they lire said to ho by their trmiB-tilfnlitic
uncles nnd mints. So, ns wo emtio up the
Delaware, I looked out with tho cold eye of
n critic, comparing tho shades of green, thu
fin ins of trees, the aspect of houses in the
distance, in short, the whole landscape, to
see if it nero worthy the eiilogiums that I
had been wont to lavish upon it in tho old
world. Nearer, nearer, our gallant ship
niado for the laud, nnd higher and higher
swelled my hosom with pride nnd gratitude
thnt this wua my own country, my dear unlive
land. Then ns we neared the city, vessel ni
ter vessel glided hy with its graceliil awnings
raised, nml us hundreds ol happy looking
piissciiircr lookiiii: out nud waving us we

rpreuu to the soil sighing limit lircizo, nml
all seemed liken hind of enchantment.
Then who the beautiful city of I'enn upon
tho green hunks, embowered in its similes of
green, n city without smoke or dust, nnd ns
you passed us streets, there seemed no pov
erty, nnd none of those evidences of degrn
daiion that wo meet in the cities of the Old
World.
The delicato beauty ond crnco of the wo.
men nnd children first struck mo as I passed
through tho streets. W hat a conirust to
what I hud daily seen in the Old World.
Then I hail not vainly boasted, it was true,
nil true, nud more than true, what I had
said mid boasted of in the Old World. We
were not faultless, hut we possessed elements
of general happinctis mid refinement in a
iiigucr iwgrec until nuy oiner limn.
1 went out through tho city, into the midst
ol its green shmle, nud looked upon the
works of men's hands, whero wculth hud
reared stately domes, mid benevolence hud
ronserrnicd them to thu good of humanity.
Did thu finest specimens of architectural ni l
in the cities of the Old World so entirely
eclipse all that J here saw? No. thero wns
the Asylum for Orphans reared hy the inn-
liihceni'c ol uirnrd, which would almost vie
with the lemplu of glory which Napoleon
intended to have consecrated to his heroes.
Such was -iio lemplu of glory here, the
iv"'",.,,f 1,10 n onco poor laborer, du

Then 1 went to seo the Water-Works at
Fairmniiul, mid as tiie last shades of day fu
lled into thn gloom of twilight, 1 looked
down upon thu waters with their bountiful
siiiroiuidiitgH, and my heart said, never have
I met in the old world such a scc.o of sur
passing loveliness.
J hen again emiinrkcil upon the river
nnd floated toward New York, beautiful nud
enchanting as any ol thu Old World cities,
lor, though it cannot lioast ol its Llianipsuo
I'.ivsco, it can ol its liuttcry, unrivaled in a
beauty ull its own.
It is said by some tourist, thnt the most
beautiful sight that n traveller ever w itnesses,
I 14 tho hrst sight of bin native hind on return
i iug to it. Ho I mil sure ull travelers will
pardon my extravagance, even if I did, ns 1
passed by ctcain up the river nud over the
railway, give vent to my emotions in a faint
I'llort at poetry, tho only true luugtiagu of
emotion.
Gar.rd ye ever, gnzed yo ever
On n scene so fair us this,
In tho old world whero you'vo wandorcd,
Questioning of human bliw?
Tell me not of pola;e grandeur,
Crowning hill along the Rhine,
Where tho relic of their splendor,
Sublimcr seem thro' lnpao of time
Tell mo not thut Franco more lovely.
Spreads her valley to the sky,
Wl.oro her towering tree of Freedom,
Lift their stately head on high
That her vine-clad hill aro fairer,
With her peasunt'i lowly haino
That her cilic boast moro splendor,
Freer light-wir god Fancy roam.
England, with her oft green hedge,
Like a garden all doth seen),
Where, thro' meadow rich in verdure,
Course many a blue waved stream
Feasant home whole lowly beauty,
Liko tho flower that round them twine,
Tell of those who yield meek duty,
To their lord of ancient line.
Hero riso halls of princely grandeur,
Castles, tower that jeor at time,
Grand when reared, but with the ago,
Rendered even more sublime.
Ruin of tho day of Cirsiirs
Mos grown abboye Ivy twined
Cities, w ith their pomp and splendor,
And their squalor, and their criino.

From tho bosom of tho sea,

And the grconncs of thy let.
But from all thcao alluring,
To each fur-famed foreign strand,
Tumi my soul, vith love enduring,
To my thrice dear nativ land I
Homeward, over Ocean's billows,
How the watcher's heart beat wild,
When the first land breeze that kiisca,

A Storm of Newspapers.
It wns a nunrtcr belbre six o'clock when
Ihev crossed the hull six being tho latest

without fee. It was just then drizzling
newspapers. Tho Brent window of thn de

newspapers played in ut the window ; water
spouts of newspaper broku from the enor

A prodigious main of newspapers at the
newspaper river head seemed to me to lie

What the Pine Trees Suid.
It was a hitter rohl morning; the sun
shone brightly, hut the wind blew n chilling
blast over the now (alien snow. " Come lit
tle boys," said ninminn, "you must go to
Uncle Howard's lor tho milk." "O, it is so
cold !" rxchiim-jd Herbert. ' So very cold !"
echoed Arthur.
"Never mind the cold!" answered nintn

and you will soon feci wnrm."
Still the little boys lingered ; thocnntMnnd

what the pine trees will say."
Arthur looked up; I never heard them

"They nlinost always say something to

A Family of Thieves.
BY PHRISBY.
The oldest member of this family of
thieves, und the one most successful in his
thelts, because least watched, is Mattel
tio.n. Hu is very active in the school-room,
sometimes silting on the recitalion-seat with
thu scholars, nud filling his pockets with his
filehiugs, which strange to sny become in
visible as air us soon us he lays his lingers
upon iiiem.
Ho is n nimble, active fellow, almost every
where nt once. You ran tell him by a vu
cant sturo of the cyu thut ho ulways wears.
His brother, Indoi.e.nct, is n creut fat fel
low. He spends his time iu doing nothing,
and has such a sleepy, stupid look, that you
would never think ha was guilty of taking
other persons' property. Hu is ono of thu
most ui rant thieves thut ever visited u work
shop, a fui in, or a school-house.
These two have a littlo black-eyed sister,
i i ol you would never suspect ot being any
relation, if you were not told. Her name is
MiSLintr. She has raven curls dancing
over her temples, nud is overflowing with
u in nnu nciivny.
She does not stent so much as her broth
ers, and is not half so sly, for she snatches
all she gets, sud then laughs you in thu face
for letting her have it. She is very trouble
some among the little folks, but she finds a
great ninny that like her.
Another sister has light, flaxen curls, nnd
spenks always in a low, soil voice. Her
name is Whispering. You can hardly hear
her Ibotfull ns she wanders around the room,
and I am very sorry to have to say that such
nice, still body will pick pockets.
Most of my young readers have seen lior,
I dure sny, and know just how she looks.
Now, Hulen, Susan, Charles, nnd llunry,
what is it that these thieves steal?
Anger and hate liido good counsel.
