My impression is that this contest is pretty much a second odition of the Virginia affair, in this, that ^ I tho existence there of two Republican tickets, is, at bottom, more a personal than a patriotic matter.

Resolved , That an governments are in stituted for the maintenance of tho prin ciples of justice, and as every human being can do better for himself than another for him, tho right of evory hu man being to »bare in tho government under which he byes should be recog nized by that government. Resolved, That we claim for woman the inherent right to share in the gov ernment of any country of which she is a citizen, by virtue of her existence human being and bur natural capacity for self government ; that while resting tho responsibility of woman's present political disability upon man, wo deny his right to define woman's sphere ; that as we deny the right of one class of men to define the rights and duties of anoth er class of men, so do wo as emphatical ly deny tho rigid of one sex to define the rights and duties of another sex. Resolved , That wo gladly recognize the advancement of our just principles, îtion of the Irish lie as shown by the publican National Convention recently held in Washington and Chicago, in which they demanded that suffrage should be extended to all not guilty of crime, irrespective of color, race, or sex. Resolved, That we also rejoico at tho course of tlio Metlioilist Episcopal Church of the United States, recogniz ing as a Kt«*p in tho true direction their recent action in admitting women of that church to veto on lay delegation.
