FRIDAY.. DECEMBER 13, 1872.
OUB SUNDAY EVENING LECTUBE.
These lectures, which began as a sort
of experiment, over which we felt many
solicitious misgivingfi, are succeeding
so far beyond our bumble expectations
that we have decided to continue them
as long as they are largely attended, or
at least until our necessary home de
mand for bread and become so urgent
as to compel us to absent oursclf from
the city for weeks together. Our main
source of revenue during the past year
has been derived from village lectureB.
Everybody knows there is no money in
a weekly newspaper outside of its ex
penses, neither are the collections sufll
cient in city lectures to more than de
fray expenses of hall, advertising, light
and fuel; but our heart is in this city
work, and just as long as we can afford
It, we shall be found regularly at our
post.
"We have contracted for printed cards
for the audience, containing appropriate
Sunday evening hymns, which arc- to
be sung to good old tunes in whici
everybody can join, and we hoiie to
make social singing a profitable feature
of the meetings.
Thesubject chosen for the next lecture
is "Amusements Their Lses and
Abuses."
The lecture upon Polygamy was very
largely attended, and, at the request of
many friends, will be repeated on some
week day evening when we can obtain
a suitable hall.
SHIELD US, SOMEBODY, DO !
The Catltolic Sentinel is after us with
two daggers. We wish we had space for
the column of stupid spleen and ex
ploded nonsense, which that head-hidden
scribbler thrusts at us with these
"t t." "We'd like to give the public an
opportunity to behold the frightened
antics of thestirred-up priesthood. But
we cannot refrain from presenting just
one paragraph, and just to show that
our hidden reviler has implicated his
daggers to fight that concerning which
his own imagination has befogged him,
we give the following specimen of his
incoherent babbling:
Catliollc ladies have a higher sense of the
beautiful, and refuse to accept the admiration
of loafers and the dregs of society who run to
hear a flippant woman either vilifying or dab
bling In Ulble questions. Mesdamcs DeStacl
and Montague did not court the unsavory com
pany of those who have "no particular place of
worship." They cultivated the higher walk of
literature; anu eievaieu ineir ienow ueings uy
kindness and not by abuse and rude words.
That allusion to "the dregs of society"
is a fine compliment to the best and
pure.-t of our Portland people, who flock
to our lectures in such numbers that it
is little wonder that the priests are
scared; and that thrust at the "unsavory
company" of those "who have no par
ticular place of worship" is a lame at
tempt to flatter "Catholic ladies" into
believing it to be beneath their "higher
tense of the beautiful" to exercise a lit
tle of their own good judgment. Such a
conglomeration of detraction and but
tered soft sawder cannot be thrust down
the throats of people of brains even by
the daggers of anonymous prescription
ists. Let him of the daggers console
himself with the reflection that just so
longas five hundred eager listeners from
all churches are ready and willing to
wait upon our humble efforts, just so
long we are ready to do the very best we
can for them, 15oui.ni bulls and Protest
ant anathemas to the contrary notwith
standing. Vt'o make no war upon any
body's religion, sect or creed. V'e are
after truth and truth only, and we prefer
to receive it from the great Fountain of
all good, before it has been Altered
through the stupid brains of fat curates
or the silly dogmas of self-righteous ac
cusers who seek to frighten us by in
vidious comparisons or Pharisaical wails
of affected modesty. If we had feared
such-dog-in-the-manger snarlings, we
should have never dared to undertake
our work, and now, as the fangs of
vituperation are diverted of their power
to harm us, we are fully determined to
continue our talks to the many "good
Catholics," whose smiling faces never
fail to greet us in tho lecture room, as
well as to the hundreds of others who
flock to hear us. "Vc are perfectly will
ing to declare that wo know little about
"theology," so-called. We can read the
Bible and draw our own conclusion; can
study the beautiful luce of nature and
read many of her th robbing mysteries;
can see the evil that runs riot in society
and the cure for it; the good that might
be done and is not, and the necessity
that all who have light shall place It,
"not under a bushel, but on a candle
stick;" and the crowds that come to our
lectures give encouraging evidence that
we can tell of that we know and testify
of that which we have seen; socome on,
friends, and the Sentincrs daggers shall
not harm you. But shield m, some
body, do!
THE PEESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
This annual document opens with the
stereotyped expression of thankfulness to

blessings of the past year. The Boston

It is recommended that final surveys

The Signal Service, the Navy De

the appropriation of a few million dol

The President does not doubt that a
great majority of the people in all parts
of the country are in favor of the full
enjoyment by all classes of persons of

by the Constitution and the laws.
The Patent Office, Pensions and the
Census are all exhaustively treated.
Education, Agriculture, the Centennial
Anniversary, Civil Service, and much
else which we have not space to notice,
receive ample attention hi the Message,
which, taken altogether, is the most
able production of the kind that wo
have yet received as a National docu
ment. The genius of Henry Wilson
and Geo. H. Williams glistens in every
paragraph, and we are badly mistaken
if the whole is not their work. The
former, if writing alone, would have
come out strong on the woman ques
tion, and the latter, if writing alone,
would have failed to polish the sen
tences aud point the periods in their
present perfection. With such men as
aids to our sagacious Presidental figure

tional term of prosperity yet greater
than .the last; and when in the third
year of the next Administration Con

will prepare to enjoy Its Centennial Ju

patriotism from a whole people, who are

or any country.
AN IMPOST ANT APPEAL.
We have received, too lato for its in
tended practical use, "An Appeal to the
Women of Washington Territory,
written for publication in tho journals
of that Territory by Dr. Jfary O. Brown.
chairman of the Executive Committee
of the Territorial Woman Suffrage As-
sociation. The local journals refused to
publish tho appeal, and retained it so
long in their possession that Dr. Brown
was unable to forward it to us in the
proper season. e respectfully assure
our friend the Dr. that a mistake was
made in patronizing the man's rights
papers with her appeal.
The circulation of the New Nohtii-
west is quite as good in Washington
Territory as is that of any of Its local
publications, and her appeal would have
been treated in our columns with that
respectful consideration which her zeal
aud worth so justly merit But better
luck next time, good sister. Rally your
friends to the support of the People's
Paper, and do not hereafter wait for
your communications to bo retained by
other journals until out of date before
you remember your legitimate ally and
co-worker.
The appeal Is an able and exhaustive
argument, urging the women of Wash-
ngton Territory to assert their politi
cal prerogative under the 14th and 15th
Amendments to the Federal Constitu
tion.
PEBSONAL.
We were yesterday honored by a
pleasant call from Hon. A.B.Meacham,
the Republican Presidential Elector,
who has been chosen to carry the party's
Oregon vote to Washington. Let the
women bear in mind that Mr. M. is the
only prominent Republican In Oregon
who had the courage totep squarely
upon the 14th plank aud stand there
during the entire campaign; and let the
week-kneed politicians remember that
his promotion to positions of honor and
trust, will be awarded in proportion to
his practical good sense and moral stand
ing, while men equally conscientious
concerning good principles, willsee their
claims allset aside. We wish our friend
a pleasant journey and we know he
will acquit himself wherever he goes
with credit to our State.
SHAELING BILLY BUYS.
The Eugene Guard came snarling
into our sanctum one day this week for
the first time in months. We had
mourned it as dead, and had stricken it
from our exchange list because we
thought a corpse would have no need of
tho New Northwest, but now that
the poor weakling is convalescent and
able again to visit us, we are, as ever,
ready to return the compliment of an
excuange. Fut where have you been,
Billy Buys, Billy Buys, Oh, where have

ADMONITORY.
We call the attention of our Republi
can contemiiorarlcs to an article from
the Liberal Jlepublican in another col
umn. That Mr. Sullivan has the Lost of
the argument we know you must re
luctantly admit. That he fails to con
vince us that Democratic Legislatures
have in the past, or will in the future.
do better if they should cet another
majority in either house, has nothing to
do with the validity of his argument.
With the exception of a few intelligent
members, both houses were manned by
monkeys, and it is not to be wondered
at, that whether such were Republicans
or Democrats, they feared to give worn
en equal opportunities with themselves,
even in the right to petition and remon
strate, for there is danger that the wom
en might sometime petition the man
agers 01 me primaries 10 consider a
moderate supply of brains as a requisite
qualification of a Legislator. But to
the voting Republicans of Oregon the
disenfranchised Republicans say
beware. We tell you candidly that it is
time that you heed our admonitions,
We note cheering signs of the limes in
our eastern exchanges, many of which,
like Jfarjier't and the 7Tmcs are strong
for Human Rights, and we are also
proud to sec our own Orcgonian, ever
deserving ita rauk as leader, giving
forth an unmistakable ring of true
patrotism.
To gain the lespectftil consideration of
the respectable portion of the public
press Is much, but we demand of our
brethren more than this. We demand
that they shall impress upon the minds
of their leaders the necessity of granting
speedy justice to the women whose ef-
tuna nave piaceu mem in power, or
their political sun will ere long set be
hind a cloud of Inky blackness upon
which shall be inscribed in lurid
letters the mighty words, "Ye knew
your duty, but ye did it not!"

A SPLENDID OFFEE.
It is well known that the regular sub
scription prico to BcmorcsCt Magazine
is $3 00. That our friends may reap the
tho full benefit of such opportunities as
we can command to secure themselves
an extra supply of good reading, we
have made arrangements by which we
are enabled to send the New Noutk
west and Dcmorcsl's Monthly Maga
zinc for one year for $4 50; or for $5 50
3'ou can have the New Nohtuwest,
Dcmorctl's Monthly and a splendid pair
of chromos (Falls of Niagara, and Yo
semite Fails), which could not be pur
chased at the book store for less than
$10. Orders of this kind must be in
variably accompanied by the cash for
both publications at once.
THAT 0HANGE.
The Daily Oregon JJullelin comes
out In the size of the Oregonian now,
and is manned by some of the best writ
ers in the State. H. W. Scott, who
takes the leading position, is too well
and favorably known to need commen
dation from us, and there is not a more
promising writer in the State than
Sam. Simpson. We have received sub
stantial evidence of the change In the
Bulletin's ownership in the way of ex
change. This courtesy had been denied
us under the old management.
ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
M. F. C. : Please address him, stating
the fact as you have stated it to us. You
are right.
M. A. H., Salem : $2 00 currency re
ceived and placed to your credit. Very
sony to learn of your failing health.
Hope you will soon become fully re
stored. Mrs. R. A. V., of AValtsburg, writes:
"Enclosed you will find $9 00, to be
credited us follows. lam much
pleased with your paper and will do
what I can to aid you in the good work.
Hoping you may succeed in thoroughly
exposing wrong, I remain, yours truly."
We hope, dear R. A. V., that every
woman who reads this column will fol
low yonr example.
J. C. H., Gervals: Tile paper was for
warded as per direction.
J: M. M., Olympia: Our friends need
have no fear that we will cease the pub
lication of the New Northwest if
they will do their duty to sustain it.
Numbers have taken the paper regu
larly from the first week of publication
until a few weeks ago (when their
names were struck oft the list) without
paying any attention to the "duns to
delinquents;" yet these same "well-
wishers" have, niany of them, sent us
letters of condolence recently over the
probable failure of our enterprise! One
such letter as yours, backed by post of-
hec orders for new subscribers as evi
dence of sincerity, is worth several mil
lions of the other kind.
M. A. II.: A combination of.sllk and
cashmere makes a very fashionable
dress. Take tho best narts of your worst
worn black silk dress and four yards of
black cashmere. Make: xuftlca alter
nately of both kinds of goods,-binding
each rufllo with the other material. Put
them on with a slight fullness, allowing
each to overlap the other until you
have as many as you want. Finish
with a heading to match, between
which and the top ruffle you may stitch
a bias band of either material. Make
polonolse front part cashmere, back
part silk, or rice versa, and trim to
match skirt. By this combination you
can make an elegant suit at a very mod
erate expense.
Mary.O., Albany: Your two shades
of brown Empress cloth will both wash
like flannels. Rip apart and pick
stitches carefully. Then wash in clean
hot suds, taking care to press smoothly
beforo quite dry. ITse the two shades to
make a new suit after the directions
given above for "silk and cashmere."
Hattie: Gorge your stomach with
cold potatoes and see if you do not for-
gei mm; or, netier mm, engage your
whole being, soul and body, In some
praiseworthy employment, so that you
may forget your present morbid Interest
in yourself. It is not the fellow that
you love so well, but your own pam
pered, petted self. If he should prove
to be other than the paragon your fancy
has painted him, wouldn't you feel
ashamed of yourself? Well, no man Is
perfect, and no woman either, for that
matter, so don't make a fool of yourself
because one man has deceived you,
But don't forget that potato remedy; or,
if it falls, eat cold boiled cabbago.

'OITY OF
Sai.t Lake Citv, Nov. 19, 1S72.
Dn.ir. New XoimtwEsT:
The battle is fought and the victory
won; yet tho victory was so easy and so
perfectly overwhelming that It scarcely
seems a victory at all. Of course we
had no hand in the contest, but no
where In the Republic could there have
been more interest felt, or moro at
stake on the result, than In Utah. Gen
eral Grant is vindicated aud the princi
ples which he represents triumphant
Our people felt happy, jubilant, jolly,
and of course such cxhubcrance of feel
ing must have vent; so on Tuesday
night last, in the "Liberal Institute,"
mo uemousiraiiou was Held. It was
tho intention to have the jollification in
front of the Walker House, but the
night was cold enough to cool their ar
dor a little; hence the change to the hall
aforementioned, which was draped for
tne occasion with the beautiful emblem
of our Nation's glory, the old StarSpan
gled Banner; and all felt as they looked
upon It that for the next four years, as
in tho past, it would be sustained by U.
S. Grant and be a beacon light to all
the oppressed of the world. Wo did
feel a little sorry for our- brethren of
"conservatory" propensities, on the
principle of pity for the fullcn, but were
too happy to follow the Scriptural in
juuctiou to "weep with those that
weep." Tho speakers on the occasion
were ail happy, and where there aro so
many brilliant ones it is hard to dis
criminate. Thcro were Judge Casey,
IateofIIIIuols)JudgeToohy(?)Col.Wicl
lzen(?), Judge McKeau, and last, but not
least, our Gov. Woods. Judge Toohy
said it was not his funeral (ho being
Democrat), but ho felt llko rejoicing in
the election of Grant nnd Wilson, "and if
Gen. Grant had an office to dispose of,
he felt patriotic enough to accept it!"
This was set down as tho most honest
and telling speech of the evening, con
siderlng its brovity; and certainly in
this instance "brevity was the soul of
wit."
Judge McKeau mado a neat and
pretty speech, which for beauty could
not be excelled; and he always say
something when he speaks, which is
the highest compliment that can be
paid to any man
Then Gov. Woods was called for, and
for a length of time held the audience
spell-bound by his eloquence. The Gov
cnior is improving each year, and on
this occasion came fully up to his hlgl:
standard. I predict for him a brilliant
future as an orator. Evon now, and ho
is still a young man, he ranks among
America's first-political speakers,
There were other speeches and con
gratulations, and at a late hour the
meeting adjourned. Throughout the
utmost harmony prevailed, and every
hotly went home feeling " 'twas good to
bo there."
As we turned away I could not Iielfi
thinking of the "aage-hen of Chappa-
qua" and pitying him n little, to sec
how his masculine vanity ran away
with his judgment. I hope in the
"broad fields of literature and science1
which he has chosen he may be happy
and sometime perhaps he will give us a
dissertation on "what he knows about
running for President" and "clasping
hands across bloody chasms." "So
mote it be."
In my last I mentioned the death hy
suicide ofMrs. W. F. Bower. Her hus
band just one mouth later, not to be
outdone by a woman, committed sui
cide by blowing out his brains with a
revolver. An irreverent friend re
marked that "he had too many brains."
Be that as it may, they are both gone
both victims to the liquor traffic; and
yet whisky selling is sucli a retpectable
business : men can in&ko money bo fust,
and affect so much style, and look so
! wUe.
Great God, the sale of the ac-
cursed stuff and the misery caused
thereby is known onlv to Thee! Thiue
eye alone sees tho orphan's tears, and
Thlno ear alone hears the widow's
! moaus. Mav the time soon come when
' tho dreadful cause of both shall be
swept from this beautiful world into
the hell from whence it came.
Mr. S. A. Clarke, of the Willamette
Farmer, was in the "City of Saints" a
few days since taking items. I under
stand he is special correspondent of the
Sacramento Union. He is as bitter as
ho can well be on the Woman Ques
tion, and the thought came Into my
mind when he remarked that "he did
not think it a nice thing for a woman to
seek office," that perhaps some woman
might excel him and get an official
crumb he wanted for himself. I have
often noticed that men of broad views
and liberal culture are all on the side of
Woman Suffrage, and are willing to
give woman equal opportunities with
her brothers. What do you think?
Weather clear, cold and dellghful.
Nothing like It anywhere, not even in
Oregon. Yours, Sybil.
DRUNKENNESS.
Druukonnnss is not an apology for the
vice and crime which so often accom
pany it, but an aggravation of the of
fences committed under its wicked in
spirations. When a man, under the In
fluence of intoxicating liquors, commits
murder, he is almost sure to be shielded,
at least In part, from the consequences
of the .crime under the plea of drunken
ness; and his counsel will seek to palll
ate the deed with tho plea of Insanity.
Human life is too cheap to be safo In
a community where men voluntarily
put an enemy into their mouths tosteal
away their brains. When a man whets
his appetite forrtim by taking the social
glass, he is preparing himself for the
commission of crime.
I have been informed by those well
acquainted with the circumstance, that
some years since a Mr. Burrows, an
Englishman living in the vicinity of
Forest Grove, a seemingly indulgent
husbaud and father, had built a good
dwelling house, but ru fused to remove
from the old uncomfortable building to
tlie new one, always urging some trivial
excuse for his strange conduct; but as
he was "head of the family," his will, of
course, was lair. One evening two
neighbors spent the evening very pleas
antly at their house, aud during their
visit the wife urged her husband to re
move. He refused, but they noted
nothing strange in his conduct except
this refusal. 1'pon their return to their
homes, about two miles distant, they
noticed a strange light in the direction
of Burrows' house, and speeding back
on their horses to the scene of conflagra
tion, they beheld Burrows walking
around the building with a bottle in his
hand, in a state of maudlin intoxication,
He explained that he had sent his dear
family all to rest and he knew he had
made tiiem nappy, liio lamuy was
murdered and burned within the build
ing! Was ho not a murderer in the first
degree? Yet lie was acquitted on the
ground of insanity.
He who voluntarily surrenders his
reason upon the altar of appetite courts
the calamities, and therefore deserves
the penalties that should follow in the
wake of intcmperauce.
May wc not hope that when the wives
and mothers of men have a voice in
law-making these things will bo
amended? Is there not room for im
provement ? Ever for progress,
Mrs. O. F. Daniels.
"Woman Suffrage.
Following are the opinions of some of
our contomporles on the question of
Woman Suffrage:
A recent dispatch from Rochester,
New York, says that some little excite
ment has been occasioned by the issue
of warrants, from tho office of United
States Commissioner Stone, for the ar
rest of Susan B. Anthony and the four
teen other women who voted at that
place at the recent general election.
The matter is soon to bo decided. Miss
Anthony expresses herself as perfectly
satisfied, and states that the matter has
l . i ...... 1 r-1 . .-. l.n.l nnttnlnnin.!
aud the question of woman suffrage will
now bo decided in the courts.
The ciucstioii naturally arises, what is
to be dono with the fair suffragists if
mo courts decide mat tney iiau no rignt
to vote, and are therefore subject to the
penalties of the law? Are they to be
duly fined and imprisoned in case the
judicial decision is against them? Or
will fair-minded judges administer a
bland-like reprimand for so heinous an
oflence, and bid the fair ones go and sin
no more? But, after all, if nothing is
in view but tho administration of jus
tice, why is it that thousands of men
can voto Illegally, as was tne case at
the State election in Pennsylvania, and
still go free? We apprehend something
more than mere enforcement of the law
is Involved in the case. It is to deter
mine whether wo shall take our fair
friends with us when we go to the noils.
or whether they shall go without us, or
we witnout mem.
As to woman sufirace.itself. we would
only add that, in view of tho result at
tne recent election, tt is demonstrated
to almost a certainty that male suflrage
Is not'n success. When we take into
consideration the fact that hundreds of
thousands or mem muse to exercise
this blessed privilege of tho free, it Is
not at all surprising that the ladies
should wish to be placed in anosiUnn
where they can enjoy the Immunities of
mo uaiioi-Dox. 1'eKin (in.) Jlegister.
However much old fogies may growl
or even divines protest and splutter,
there Is no doubt the cause of woman
sutrrage is more silently perhaps, but all
the more surely and swiftly, approach
ing realization. It has make several
long strides, In the last thirty or sixty
days, towards success, of which the
country scarcely seems aware.
The Republican party has secured a
wonderful national triumph, one which
exc"ed4 even the most sanguine expecta
tion of its friends, and Upon a platform
one chief plank in which commits the
party to the doctrine of woman suf
frage. Henry Wilson, the Vice President
elect, Is one of tho boldest and oldest
champions of woman suffrage in all the
country, aud Is nowono of the vice pres
idents of the National Woman's Suf

The suffragists will doubtless, and
have a right to, claim that their cause
lias thus been passed upon by the na
tion and received the endorsement of
nearly a million majority, aud tbey may
claim too, that this triumph, is largely
due to their aid in tho campaign.
Besides this, women did vote at the
late Presidential election in -several
' places. Some ladies voted in Detroit,
Slichigau Susan B. Anthony, and
fourteen of her lady friends, voted in
Rochester, N. Y. Mrs. A. J. Duniway,
and some other ladies, voted in Oregon,
aud perhaps others in other places.
we merely call attention to mese
facts as to matters of current news and
public interest, and without committing
ourselves upon this subject pro or eon.
We will remark, however, that public
sentiment would be vastly more easily
reconciled to this innovation than it
was five vears asro to the extension of
suffrage to the negro, and even that did
not. uurt anyiKxiyor createa revolution.
