American Women and the Republican
Party.
TVe publish the "following sensible
article from the pen of Mary Clemmer
Ames, lor the benefit of the lady read
ers of the Sektisel. The gentlemen
need not fear to read it, however; it
will do them no harm;
Let not the most fastidious Ameri
can yeoman suppose, by using what
ever "bl influence she may possess for a
political causexwhich she believes to bo
right, that thereby she in the slightest
degree compromises the delicacy or
dignity of true womanhood. It is the
duty of every American woman, especi
ally if she be .a mother, to possess an
intelligent knowledge of public meas
ures, that she may define and defend to
her children the principles of action
and of government which she believe)
to be right. The American woman
has a direct right.and personal interest
in the administration of public afiairs.
Deprived of the elective franchise, no
less she is to every intent a citizen.
She is as amenable to law, she is as
subject to taxes, she is as much affected
in her industries, in means of subsist
ence, in her personal happiness, by
injustice and impolicy in government as
is man. Practical opinion daily yields
to woman what the law refuses her.
A man's prejudices may bo all arrayed
against the very thought of women at
the polls. No less he personally res
pects and honors the intelligent opin
ion of the woman in whom he confides,
be she his mother, sister, wife, friend or
sweetheart. For this reason, if for no
other, is it not the duty of every Amer
ican woman to cultivate her intelli
gence, and, as far as practicable, her
knowledge of public men and meas
ures, that her personal influence may
be intelligently on the side of equity
and the be6t government? Thereisnot
the slightest need to speak to any
extreme women nor to any woman of
public prominence. They will all
speak their several ways, and there is
not the slightest danger of their not
being heard. I appeal to the average
American woman, so patriotic, so clear
headed, so warm hearted, so worthy to
be honored and beloved wherever she
may be in school, in Bhop, by bcr
own hearth side. Do not do the injus
tice to yourself to say, because you
have no public vote or voice, that you
have no influence on public opinion.
Every one of you helps to make public
opinion. You make one half of the
nation. In perception, in patriotism,
in devotion to principle, in every essen
tial ol the highest humanity, you are
quito the equal of the other half.
Tho day is fast approaching -vhen
no American man can see a single le
gal disability added to tho natural
burdens of woman, his counterpart and
lriend, without a sense ol shame.
American women, it is for you to has
ten that day. No man will do it. By
so much would you delay it could you
give your allegiance to an attempted
party which, while it shouts "reform,"
sneers in your-lace, and .ignores your
prcsence'in.the body politic
American women, the intense politi
cal issue now-pending is not of party,
but of principle. In solitude, far be
yond. the conlusing outcry of conflict
ing men, it is for you to behold the
truth face.to face, to defend it, to main
tain it, to dj your part toward bringing
it noxt November to triumph.
" -Take the past, tho disgracelul past of
tho Democratic party its inhumanity,
its oppression of tho weak, its pillars ol
power based on human bondage, its
crueljcaste, its lust for human power at
any, cost, jts inglorious death, its
shamelul resurrection! Study tho
past of the Republican party the
party true "to every right and every
possibility of human nature. Take first
its dead your dead and mine; the
thousand slain to maintain the Govern
ment which Democrats sought to dcA
stroyt The Union secured by their
blood ;'Hho enfranchisement of five
millions ol slaves; the proclamation
which Beclared them free ; the KuKlux
law which secured life and liberty to
tho humblest citizen of the South ; the
vast reduction of tho national debt; the
reform in civil service ; tho yearly re
duction of the income tax; peace,
security, prosperity theso make apart
of.tho work done and being done by
ino party of. emancipation, freedom,
and justice. Are you willing to say
thatits mission is accomplished, or
that its true place in the Government
of tho UnitedjStates can be filled by
"feSi-V16 Party o inhumanity,
injujtjoe, audi wrong ?.
-TFoathjearmocJi -about the corruption
"idi-semce. The enemies, of
President Grant accuse him of insin
cerity in professing to wish its reform.
Let me say that, amid all that hasbeen
attempted, the women of the United
States owe President Grant their pro
found gratitude for the reform which
hetas accomplished in their behalf in
the Departments of "Washington, and
for the position of which he has pro
moted them in the civil service. Gen
eral Grant is not a talking or writing
man.
It is a matter of minor importance
what General Grant's personal opinion
may be of woman's voting, while he
has proved through his entiro adminis
tration, by his acts, that even in their
present imperfectly educated state he
believes them fit to hold possession of
public responsibility and trust. He
has made women postmistresses in
almost every State of the Union, and
his appointment of Miss Van Lew as
postmistress of Richmond, Virginia,
was an actpractically worth more to
their advancement than a thousand
finespun orations on the rights of
women. Miss Van Lew, a native of
Virginia, suffered everything but death
for her loyalty to tho Union during
the war in the capital of Virginia ; yet
through it all she gave her money and
almost her life to suffering soldiers.
Her house was their hospital, and she
their loving and faithful nurse. The
war was over, .she impoverished in
fortune and broken in health, the
brave soldier remembered the brave
woman. He asked.it as a personal
favor that tho Senate would confirm
his nomination of Miss Van Lew as
postmistress of Richmond. "Ho gave
it to me himself," said Miss Van Lew,
with tears in her eyes. "As he placed
it in my hand, he said : 'Madam, I wish
you could know the pleasure I feel in
giving you this commission.'" The
offico is a valuable one. Of course,
there are many men that want it; many
who have tried to get it. Every littlo
while a cry is made about a woman
holding so important a trust. Never
theless Miss Van Lew is still postmis
tress of Richmond.
It is false, the assertion of the self-
called ''Liberal," that the civil service
is in a more demoralized state than
ever before. Each, year of President
Grant's administration has seen a
decrease of this "corruption." His
entire opinion, and all his personal
influence, have been used against it.
Women, now candidates for appoint
ments to the civil service, must pass
the same examination and the same
tests, and receive their appointment on
precisely tho same basis, as men. And,
though no competitive examination can
be always a final and infallible test of
intellectual fitness, it at least lifts the
appointment of ecry woman to the
governmental service utterly above the
low plane of sex or favoritism to that
of an honorable worker, who, having
passed the same examination and per
forming equal labor, is entitled in
ev cry respect to receive equal pay.
I have no purpose to decry personal
ly one Presidential candidate or to
uplift the other. Both men possess
virtues which I honor and faults for
which I am sorry. Tho moral conflict
of the present campaign is not between
man and man. It is not the man
whom we chose; it is the ideas and
facts which he represents. It is not
Grant against Greeley. It is the Re
publican against the Democratic party.
It is truth against falsehood ; upright
government against a fraud and a
sham.
Every generation has its cant word,
its catch-word. These of ours are
"Reform, Progress."
Are the holiest ideals of human nature,
are reform or progress, safe in the
keeping of men and women whose
deeds mock and whose characters out
rage the very ideas which their lips
profane? There are men clinging to
the skirts of Horace Greeley, hoping
thereby to be dragged back to respect
ability and place, who, had not their
6b am el ess deeds destroyed in them the
very sense of moral degradation would
hide their faces befoio tho sight of
Heaven.
The men who are now so busy span
ning with flowery phrases the " bloody
chasm" which war made, who are so
eager to stretch fraternal hands across
to the crowd on the other side they
are. the men who through the long
night of civil war, while their brethren
marched and fought and fell and died,
staid at home, safe and pampered, and
vented then patriotism in odes and es
says, resonant with the guns which the"
writers never heard. Do yon wonder
that the long agony of waris'how'to
them a distant dream ? Woman, whose
son, whose husband, whose father fell
in that holocaust of human freedom, is
it but a dream to yov f These are the
men who cry "Reconciliation" They
say that now the word for the hour is
"1 teconciliation." Reconciliation with
what? With the spirit that, genera
tion on generation, perpetuated itself
by tho barbarisms of human slavery
and the usurpation of political power
at any cost ? Did not these cause our
war? To extinguish these were not
our dead slain? Shall we give it up
now the principle established by such
treasure of human life to tho very
men who betrayed it and did all that
they could to destroy it? You are
told that they have all changed, these
leaders; that they clamor for Greelev
because they accept the situation. Nev
er believe it. They cry for him because
they do not acceptit; because they find
in him their last chance to seize once
more the prizes and the power of the
Government.
Is it iho new South, the South re
generated in blood and tears, that is
now for Horace Greeley ? Nrj.it is the
old South. It is the South which to
day, in secret clans, declares eternal
fealty to the "Lost Cause;" which, by
everything sacred, swears it will seek
not only the sectional supremacy of the
South, but its future independence.
Why do they shout for Horace Gree
ley ? Because they accept his ancient
faith of the equal rights of all men?
No. They kiss his feet because he
bailed Jefferson Davis; because he has
acknowledged the right of any State
to secede; because, in his long presi
dcntial electioneering tour through the
South, he directly orindirectly pledged
himself, if elected, to pensions for reb
el soldiers; becmse, if elected, they
believe that they can command through
him their forfeited supremacy, the pres
tige and tho tyranny which the war
destroyed, and to whose loss tho old
South refuses to be reconciled. Are
we to be "reconciled" to their return
to power? Neer. Between the feu
dal South and the new, born of Free
dom. there can be no reconciliation,
now nor ever.
Horace Greeley, at tho head of the
Republican party, pledged to its sacred
past, consecrated to its present and
future, would be an obicct whom every
Republican might venerate. Horace
Greeley, the candidate of Tammany,
the cuosen of disappointed oflice seek
ers, of adventurers cloaked in Reform,
the last chince of power to a party
pledged to tho destruction of every
principle which ho ever defended; Hor
ace Greeley, selling his great record
for the pottage of four years of Presi
dential power he even in triumph
could bring nothing but anarchy and
shame to his country. I appeal to you.
American women, so far as my words
may reach, praying that they may pen
etrate beyond my furthest dream, do
not be deluded by fine words, enthral
led by fine promises. Do we gather
figs from thistles ? By their lruits ye
shall know. them. Are you willing to
commit the government of your coun
try to changelings, peculators and trait
ors ? Such are the men who lead the
"Liberals," however honest be those
whom they have en snared and cathered
into their net. "Women of the United
States, by your patriotism of ten years
ago, say not that, without a vote, you
can do nothing. You can do eery-
thing. What is a ballot to your per
sonal influence ? Not a woman lives
that does not influence at least one
man. Save his vote from a bad cause ;
it is as much as if you yourself had
voted. If you have no vole, so much
the more should you represent in your
self aad by yourself tho dignity of wo
manhood, the responsibility of citizen
ship, and the sacredness of principle.
The Financial Chronicle thus specu
lates on the increased price of gold :
On the whole the stock of gold in the
commercial world has been increased
since 1848 by 2,533 millions of dollars,
and has received an average addition
of one hundred and four millions a
year instead of twenty-five or thirty
millions, as previously. The London
Economist calls the attention to the
iact mat nowever active was tne pro
duction of gold the activity of the
mints was greater still, as the coinage
of the world since 1848 has been S3,-
000,000,000, of which 1,000,000,000
has been coined by France alone.
An industrious female in New Hamp
shire is reported by a local paper toi

last year, beside attending to her
household duties.
