Editor Rkfjjiilican. r The suljcet of "youanfrt Rights lias fceen attracting considerable attention in the United States for the la-t twenty year,-and by reference -to aneknt and paodern history it will be found that her positiooj in different agfs and nations, has beeri niultifarious. It will be found that in proportion to the ignorance and fcarbarisui of the various nations of the arth; from the creation of man to the present-time, in that very fame ratio Jias woman .been . maJe to sulfur, and in many iustances has been reduced to the Tcry lowest decree of servitude possible to the. most abject slavery. In stances arc on record, where the nun had the full power over the life and fu ture destiny of the woman, as though ahe were a dumb brute, and the woman had no redress before law But on the other hand we see, as the JJible, Civilization and Christianity have been made known, that the condition of woman has been ameliorated, and that Jn the very same proportion has she been elevated in a direction approxitna ting an equality with the man, or the male part of mankind, which, we be lieve, ie her true status in society, as de signed by God in the creation of the world. We find, by reference to the history of the creation of the world, ah found in Genesis, the , first book of the Old Testament, or Rible, that man was 'the last from the hand of the Creator. .The language of the writer of the crea tion isas.follow8 : " So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him, male and female cre ptcd he them." So it will be seen from tie reading that the creation of woman was coequal or co extensive with that of manTor God in giving them direc tions commands them to multiply and replenish tfcc earth and to subdue it. lie also ive them dominion over every living thing j over the fowls of the air, the fishes of the sea, and everything thatmoveth or creepeth on the face of the earth. So in the creation of Adam Are the elements of tf oiran, for further OP in the history we find that Eye was taken from Adam and was to be a help meet. Ry some it -is argued that from this cause, of her being taken ' from man, that hc is not his equal, and should be entirely under his subjection, thus establishing the usages of which we spoke iu a foregoing part of this ar tiele ; thus depriving her of the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of hop pines., which would be in direct coik flict with the Golden Rule, as laid down by Our Savior while on earth, ks a standard! by which' we are t govern' our action toward our fellow creatures : " As yc tvould that others should do unto you do ye evsi mi unto theni'""' We are tuught thit this rule covers the whole ground both of the Law and of the J'rophets -and if so which we be lieve, it is sufficient, and our laws should be so dispensed without regard to sex, for we fiud Christ in all his teaching uses the term " man" in its its genuine sense, meaning the human family. We find, also, in the book of Gene sis, a more explicit account is given in another place relative to the creation of man, and what were the commands given him by-his Creator relative to the dressing and keeping of the Garden of Eden, also of what fruit he w is to eat. lie wus to eat of every tree of the gar den except , of the Tree of JCnowirdge j of that he was not to oat. Ry consult ing this history in regular order, we find that the orders that were given to Adam on this matter of dressing, and eating of the fruits, were even prior to the time that the Lord God caused the deep fdeep to fall upon Adam, at which time he took the rib and made the woman Rut notwithstanding the sileuce of the history bearing upon this point, we are of the opinion that the woman had by sotnc means .received a knowledge of the orders upon that u! j.'ijt, either through Adam or from God. We learn through the ' history is it progresses, that the serpent, the Devil, or the Evil Spirit, as you may ehoose to cull it, or him, apr ro-iched I he soi t on this sui ject. h ptared to know that the tree tlut wa--daeed iu the center of the g m.'en was forbidden, and that they were net to at or even touch it, lost they die. Notwithstanding this, whin theser pcut had reasoned with her, injorniiu Iter that she or they should not sureh lie, but be as Gods, knowing go.d and evil. And when the woiii.in siw that ihe tree was good for footl, nod that it v.'is pleasant to the eye, and a free to be. desired to make one wise, bhe took of the fruit thereof and did cut, and .rave also unto her hu-hand with her md he did cat. Wo are informed that after they had eaten, their eyes wrc peno3, cl? , and when Adam and Kve were walking iu tlie daruen ol hJen, iu the cool of the evening, they heard the voice of God, and were afraid. When the Lord obtained an audience, Adam began excusing himself by say ing the woman thou gave to be with me gave me of the fruit and I did eat. We do not find that the woman used any persuasive means to induce her hus band to eat, but it is quite likely if we were allowed to go back of the record in this matter, she may have at least made the same the statement to him that was made to her by the serpent. At all events we find the woman excusing herself by saying the Serpent beguiled her. It appears then, that after a thorough investigation, as regards the whole matter at issue, that tho Lord God commenced by passing sentence on the Serpent, then upon the woman, and lastly upon Adam. As regards the punishment of the Serpent and Adam we shall pass it by as we have to deal more strictly with the sentence passed upon the woman. Her sentence was hard and in the following language : UI will greatly multiply thy sorrows and conceptions; in sorrow thou shall bring forth thy children aud thy desires shall be to thy husband, and ho shall rule over thee." We now come down to the common seose reasoning as regards the punishment inflicted upon the subjects of Ibis forbidden fruit. The different sentences passed on each had a bearing of its own, and shows that all parties were alone, responsible for their own acts in the whole transactiDn. Rut if the meauiug be as some seem to think, that because Adam said, she is bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh, aiid In consequence of the announcement that husband should rule over her, and that she shall have no say as regards mat ters pertaining to her own welfare and happiness or of thai of the government in which she lives, then those savage, heathen nations, to which wo have be fore alluded, were right, and wc of the Christian, enlightened nations are wrong. Now, if,, because a woman is married to a man, it was intended that she should lose her identity. and be come entirely dependent upon him for knowledge and support and must be governed entirely by "his wishes, disre- diu her own will, then it would seem strange that any c-nlisihtened. man or Christian nation could give their :on sent to the punishment of a woman uu der any circumstances whatever; let alone the idea of a just God -ondeu!U-ing her to endless ' punishment,: when she bus been acting under aud governed by a superior representative all the while. Justice, common sense mid sound reason, together with the Divine teachings of Christ in his sermon on the Mount, in laying down the Golden Rule as:a.igu:idi to our treatment of our .fellow -man, who-h also iue;ins woman used in iu true Generic seuse., If tho idea bo correct, that many appear -to hold, that the, man is the true re pre sentutive of the wou:an, he of course should be made responsible tor her acts and sufier ihe penalty of misdemeanors and crimes perpetrated by her, but such is not the case, lie stands back and lets her represeut herself, ho not being willing tjrepre-eut her only in such iu stances as are to his owti personal in terest. -- We hold then that woman has n individuality of her own, aud if sorshe is a part and parcel of us, and of the body politi J ; and could not be' dis peuscd wth without depopulating the world. Cou-i qiu utly she u of the family of mankind, and if so should be cutitled to all the lights, privileges and iuimuuities of the male citizens of the nation or government iu which she lives. Therefore, iu a 'Republican form of government, hkj ours of the United States, she should be entitled to the right of suffrage, to hold office, practice law, medicine, wr follow any other oc cupation he may see fit, having no re- strictions laid upon her more than those of itie male citizens under similar cir cumstances. We have now thoroughly ecminitted ourselt upon the equality o! woman with u.an, and have presented reasons for tho s;nu, that are suilieient at least to our mind, to guarantee ou position. At the same lime we are awan that we come in direct conflict with ome of our best men who view thin through different glasses. Rut we can not help that, knowing that every hu man being i- n'.-pou-ible to God for tin right, as God gives him to see the right. The opponents of our p?itiou quofi freely from St Raul's writing, urnl probably their strongest and most ufi repeated quotation will be four.d in 1st Cotirnhiius, 1 1th Chapter ami :Uth and JJfjth verses. To wit : " Lei out women kerp silence in the Churches, for it is n a permitted unto them ti -peak ; but they are commanded to b under obedience, a also -aith the law And if they will learn anything let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for a woman to speak in Church." ly reading tho preceding part of this chapter, it will be fcund that Paul was talking to the Corinthi ans upon the subject of tongues and prophicies. It appears that there was considerable contusion caused by the diversity of tongues and that Paul even requested some of the men to keep si lence. It appears by reference to the Acts of the Apostles, that they were continually annoyed by jnerseeutors and by qm stious asked with a design to en trap them. It is held by some that in this instance and at other times, the Apostles were frequently annoyed by fast women of ill fame coining into the Churches and propounding questions upon subjects irrelevant and thus creat ing disturbances, consequently, Raul's sharp reproof as above quoted, knowing at the same time they had no husbands at home of which to learn, lie this as it may, and by giving its full force of the meaning, and supposing ic was ap plied to the virtuous,' married women belonging to the Church, it simply de fines the usages prevailing ia the Churches at that time. Rut we are of the opinion taking in the whole tenor of the Scriptures iii connection, that Pauls' design i was not to deprive good women of speaking in tho Church, for we find the Apostles' in other places re eoomiending to the Churches a Phoebe, a Priscilla and others to tho confidence of tho brethroti as teachers and preach ers. Now, if it was the design that women should learn at home of their husbands, what are those to do who have no husbands or what will be the condition of the women who have ig norant ones ? We opine under such a teaching that many will live and die without knowing j much of the glad tidings of salvation; and many things that it is proper and expedieut for her to know. iWo are among thoso that believe that it is essential almost above everything; else, that woman's mind should Iuj well stored with useful knowN edge of all! kinds, including domestic, scientific, political and religious. Much depends upon the early training ot the offspring of woman so much so that it has become a proverb in the. world; trar 'That as is the child when it leaves the tutelage of its mother, so is the man." in an enlarged sense of course. Th;n if this bo the cae, open all the fountains of knowledge and let her drink, aud learn and soar. Rut, say the opposers of Womau's Rights, this will degrade her, make her rough, mascu line ana vulgar, and dtstoy her itifiu- ence in society- As well sing pslams to a dead horse as present such silly bo&h to' an enlightened mind, nation or community. Is it not known that if the argument holds good as regards vioiwan, that it will apply with equal force to man. Rut who of sound mind will attempt' in this enlightened day and age, to assume that to make man intel ligent, virtuous ad good, you must put him in shambles or leading strings. We are taught the very reverse at' this by our Savior. We are commanded to go ou to perfection. " Ry ye perfeet, even as I am perfect," is the Riviue command. Without liberty how can this te accomplished? No restraints arc necessary 'only those to protect the weak, and give all equal chances in life, without regard to sex, race orcalor. Now we are about done with this subject, especially the moral phase of it. We have been thus tedious ou this part for the reason that wc have not met with a full discussion, and there appears to be a great fear of doing something wrong in working this reform in society. Ks regards the Constitutional and legal hearing of this subject it has been fully and concisely elucidated by the many friends of this reform, so much so that f shall not attempt to add anything i hereto, further lhau to state that I am fully satisfied that under the Constitu- tion ot tne uutteu Mates, women are citizens iu the full senc of the term. They pay taxes, help support the Gov ernment, and of right shuuld be en franchised immediately.. Aud to those ihat doubt her right under the Coiisti 'utioti, I would advise them to read that document carefully. aud if not then sifi-fied, send to the Woman's Rights Jiub, at Washington City, aud procure i copy of the minority report upon that "object as issued by Reu Roller aud Win. Laughridge, together with the ipiuuii o other learned statesmen on that sul ject 31 any are the side issues .liming to be lugged to this -'question ihat are entirely foreign, among which are Spiritualism, Tree Love and loosing of the bond of matrim ny, which all en-ible people cast entirely out of the question, knowing that if engrafted, toman would be the suferers, and will ..ot adopt. Mc. M HUDSON. Hillings on hie Fox. We take ihe sul joined extract from a lengthy aud elaborate discussion of the fox, by .Josh Hillings : The fox has no moral honesty, but he haz got a grate supply of politikal honesty. If another fox wauts a phat gojse, he will work hard to get the gtiose for him, and then clean the meat ail oph from the outskirts ov the goose, for pcttyfogging the case, and give him the boues, and tell his politikal friend, wi h a smile in the left corner of his eye, that 4 everything is lovely and the goose hang- high.' M Foxes come out ov the ground, but whether they arc made out ov dirt I kant sware with much certainty. They cum out ov the ground through the in strumentality ov a hole, but whether the hole begins at the surface and runs into the mountains or runs into the surface, don't make a kussed bit ov dif ference. , 44 Rut philosophers have argued about this hole business for years. Some ov them say it ruus in, and sum ov them are willing to be darned if it duz ; and right here we can see the amazing dif fcrenco between their logick and the logick ov the fox. While they stand fiteing at the mouth of the hole, the fox iz stealing their ducks and gozlius. 44 Foxes are like cunning men- they have but few brains, and but a small place tew keep them in but what few they have got are like angle worms in hot water full of anxiety and mizery." Thero is a mild stage of quarreling almost constantly indulged iu by many husbands and wives, which is not only injurious to themselves, threatening their happiness, but worse than tuus quitocs to those who are obliged to hear it. When a bridge creaks and shakes no ono knows how soon it may break down and cause great sorrow. So with people who constantly bicker and con tradict. There is no certainty th t they may not fly iuto a rage, which will result in great unhappiness to themselves and end in securing the disgust of those sensible people who have learned self-government. -Elm Orlou.
