After a tow explanatory remarks concerning the objects of the Associition, intended for the enlightenment of those who had wever attended before, the disenssion was opened in the affirmative by Rey. Mr. Dennison, who was followed on the same side by Mr. H. DeTyler, MajorG. W. Wells, and Prof, Woolf, of Oregon, the argu- ment used by the advocates of the elective Te- form in previous discussion aud which have been already ventilated through the columas ofthe Srax. Dr. L, Aican and Protessor Wil- liam J. Wilson took the negative side of the question, contending that the purity of the fe- male sex should elevate ber above the contam- inating imttuence of public intercourse with man, and that her true sphere was that of pro- moting domestic happiness and adorning the household of her husband and children, over which she should always be regarded as the head. The opponents of female suffrage did not desire to restrict her privileges in the least, nor to contend for increased power of the sterner sex; but it was their wish to pre- serve the exalted delicacy of character of the former, and to maintain that sterling gover mental position before the world whicn eu: tom and the very formation of man qualified him to fill.
