Ia coming forward, be said he had no intimation that he should be ealled upon to make a speech; still through his regard to the cause, he would attempt to address them upon the great question for which they had assembled. He said a ‘temperaxce convention like this was a necessary enter- prise fcr the furtherance of the temperance cause—all engaged in the temperance cause, without distinction of age, class or color. It ougutto be high toned in its course, and if so the temperance cause must tiiumph. When Mr. Burleigh had coased spesking the PRE.

At the invitation of the Caatzman pro tempore, those «Jeers prosent took their seats upon the platform. When + all were seated, the President, Rey. Mr. Hiccxnson said—In commencing the discharge Of the duties you have assigned me, I must say tiatI consider it ax honor to preside over such « mecting as this.

I have heard from some lips, since I ceme into this hall that which instruc!s me that the object cf this convention is not fully understood, ‘This is not a woman's rights convention; it is merely a jconvention in which woman is not wronged, avd that is enough.

This baud compoced of three geutle men and one lady, appeared uoon the stage aud serge “The Good Tie Coming.” with much delight to the audience. Being enthusiastically encored ¢ <— came before the meeting and sang ‘We Come from Dis- tent Region ” Ke with equal satisfaction Rey, Axtoinnite L. Brown, whois desiitute of that ira portant wpper of all strong minded women anf di- vines—the pantr—cext addressed the audience. The reverend ceutlewoman iso great favorite with the temper ance part of the community, and was of course received with tremendous applause. Regarding this demenstra- tion as a matter of course, the eloquent divine proeveded to deliver her addsess. As many of on™ reuders have never seen a fewsle mixiater, it may not be out of place here to give a brief sketok of her personal appearance, Well, then in the first place, the Rev Mra. Browais one of the bert apecimens of that strange species of humun beings who bave of late years broken out of the apbere for which they were destfoed by nature, acd who have aspired, vot only to the stations occupied by the sterner sex. but to the important privilege of wear- ing the vether garment slready mentioned, She has a very pleasirg expression of face, and a remarksbly sweet and murical voice. Her style of speak- ing is occasiovally forcible. abourda with figures, and very eeldcm wearies the listener. Unlike the generality of temperance ere of both sexes, indulges in ai to illustrate her argumenta, bat ipatead thereo! embellishes her speeches with quo- tations from Scripture—very natural that fora divine. Our reverend orator dierses very neatly, but unfortu- nately there is nothing in her style that marks the pro- fession to which she belongs Io that ‘good time coming,” (we wich they would fix the day,) it ia to be hoped some plan will be devised by which the femule members of the ministry may be distlaguished from the laity. In speaking che gesticulates very little, never hesitates for a word, -but flows on without let or bia- drance, except, of course, when interrupted by the ap- plause of her audience. This, reader. is the portrait of Rey Antoicette L. Brown. How do you like the picture? Without stopping to pay compliments, or say he dad been called on une>pectedly—a trick for which we presume she bas a proper contempt—che pric: at ence to the subject be‘ore hor. Her apeech was rather I for publication in full, so we are necessarily com- jed to give a synopsis of it. Thus she began: ‘A whole world temperence ! Room on our broad plat- form for everybody, thians and Medes, the dwellers in Mesopotamia, Jews and Romans! Here the reverend spesker went into an enumeretion of various nations, displaying a wonderful knowledge of the details of geo- graphy. Strange to say, however, nearly all the inhabi- tanta of those countries were wofully ‘ignorant of the call of the Convention. cr they exhibited a most lamenta- ble disregard of the benefits which it is predicted will flow from it. The audience was composed mainly of ladies, not cne of whom, we venture to state, ever dwelt in Mesopotamia, while very few ever passed the boun- @arles of our own country. So, there were no dele- gates from Media, nor Rome nor Persia, for there, alas! the Maine Liquor law is unkao en. But let us hear the fair orator further. All these may come here, she continued, and speak in their own tongues in behalf of thisgreat reform It is more than World’s Temperance Convention, for here women are allowed the privilege of speaking Teetotalism may here be discussed in its lecgth ond breadth; but not a word about womsn’s rights, on peril of reprimand and expulsion even from this platform. This may be weli— ee ®@ good time coming, friends, wait a litile longer. This war a word of encouragement for the strong: minded women, who are ambitious of being Presidentes ses, €& Captairs, voters, andeverything but what they were iztenced tor—women. After this piece of consola- tion, Rev. Mrs. B. icformed her audience that the dawn migLt bebere, but the sun was not yet up. Nota word, she added, about any one’s right to vote, even in favor of the Maine law, although one-half the world is disfranchised, and the other half contrive to have a license, with the exception of s few spots in heathendom anda few Yansee States Not a word about ailthis cr a woman’s owing service to her inter perate husband, and his right to apend he isgs for his grog Do not let it be known that the father has the lege! right to the custody of bis children, though ho be a érunkazd, or that he may take them away from their mother ard apprentice them to igncrance vice and the rum-solier, a3 a rccurity for bis grog bill Nota word, I say, about all this for what have women to do with there things? The world will tell ua that the drunken wan may talk upon various subjects, although he may be so stupidand what he siys so incomprehenal- ble tbat you cculd no more expect to gather‘a whole idea from his speech than to collect the while of the particulars of a cabbage from the heterogeneous mass of astew. (Laughter and applause ) Afrer a few more words on this point, Rev. Mrs. B gave a very graphic sketch of the miseries juced by drunk- enness, and then concluded as fol —There have been bad laws, bad statutes, before this, which we are trying to get repealed; they have had their origin in human selficbness, in fiendish malignity We wish to leave something better in their stead, Thors ia a thick darkness yet; but the light is breaking around us; we are gathering strength and power, and the voice of God is whispering everywhere abou; us—‘* Take courage and be strong, for the course of your race ia onward and up ward,” The reverend speaker resumed her reat amid much ap- planse, after which Horace Gretiey addressed the meeting. He expressed himself strongly in favor of the enactment or tho Maine law, notwithsianding what had beon said about the difil culty of enforerg it If it were once passed he nad no doubt that it would Jead to the suppression, in a great degree He thought a great many were made drunkards from went of employment; for while waiting for it they not unfiequently passed their tine in rum rhons. For this reason he considered strikes had a teadency to in- jure the tradesman. Aicer some further remarks in sup- Port of the Maine law, he read the following RESOLUTIONS: 11, Resolved, Thst the cause of total abstinence from ail that may intoxicatc—whether considerea with regard to the magnitude and virulence of the evils it combats, to the good it has already achieved. to the work which it hag still to do, or to the power of the selfish interests and dopraved apy tites which it combats and must vanquish—doverves the ctive, devoted support of he Christian also overy other religious organization, to co-operste with all its might in the great work of temperance reform, by the difusion of light and truth with regard to the nature and effects of al coholic liquors, by the enforcement of total tinonce as & part of its imperative discipline, and by the restraiving of all whom it ntl influence, all who recognize its autbor ty, from any participation ta the guiliy gains of the liyuct trathe. 3.

When the arp se with which this lady was received had eubsided, she spobe os follows:—Dear friends, I feel very glad to find myself among you. I would observe, however, before making any remarks upon the great question which has called us together, that I feel rather in the positi n of a learner than a teacher. I have come, bowever, all the way acroee the Atlantic, almost simply totell vou that I'am one of you (Applause) The priz ciple of true sobriety embodied in that of entire ab etinence from Srey Calera of intoxicating drinks, is one I truly love my estimation it stands second to none save that ore which renews the soul and fits the sinrer fer heaven. You have alresdy heard it intimated thst I have been in the teetotal field some twenty years. Solbave. Somethiog has been said already in reference to female Jabor in the old country, and what I besrd would lead one to thick that it was all straight-forward work there with the femsles Not so, bowever— I can sveak fromexperience. Tney do meet with opposition. but atter all it is scarcely de- serving of votice. When I frst entered the fivid I bad to encounter opposition from certain quarters I remember well the endeavors of an old, peevish tory editor who used to avail himself cf every opportu- pity of holding me up topublie ridicule calling me by the title of the “Reverend Mary.” He seemed to forget the great object of the creation of women, and marked out what he censidered her work. He very politely told me to stop at home and mend my husbana’s stockings. I felt myself calied upon to reply. I said that I would do so with all the pleasure imaginable ; that I should mend my busband’s stockings and knit him new ones when he needed them. Bat I wanted to know if that man or any otber thought that women’s minds should be tied do#n. It strikes me he must bave forgotten the end of woman’s creation, for the Most High said of woman, that she should be a helpmeet for man, and I suppose ou kuow what the be definition of a help-meet ir—that she should a heip ft for him—that ia, equaltohim. By-the bye, if thie definition bs eorrect, the greater and the more noble the cause which women sstist men in carrying out, the better afd tho greater it wost become. When meeting with opposition I always ured to thiok of the Saviour when he rard if they turn you ont of one city go to snother; ard thus your humble servant har been endeavoring to work away for tho last twenty years. When I heard of this movement here [ desired to come and see for myself, and I say again, lam happy to find myself here. ‘The speaker proceeded at considerable lergth in this strain, and concluced by relating two anecdotes and re- citinga very long piece of poetry on the beauties of tem- er 908, ¥ The venerable Rev. Ricuarv B, Gramers, of Michigan xext spoke. He said the cause for which we have me iaagzestone, I trust we shail make our mark. I have labored come in the heat of the day of temperance, aud am now goirgin the decline of years, and must soon leave it for others more young and strong. My first de- sire is to promote the cause of temperance while health and vigor last. Icome from a western State, aad pro- bably most of you know what temperance baa done for us there. While I stend upon my feet I will allude briefly to the past. Tremember when I wasn boy it was the custom to aszociate all kines of labor with liquor, I bave drapk it my:elf; but, thank God. a great caunge has now taken place. I was one of the ret reformers in this cause. I was born in this city, but I have been removed away so long that I feel a stranger among you nom. In cur State we can boast of something that perhaps no other State can; we havo never strangled a man betweea heaven andearth (Applause ) I mention this because itis moze or Jess conuected with the temperance cause. And while I jive, and can “make my prints in summer sands and winter snows,” I will give my strength to this couse. (Applause ) Tke Amphions then gave another song, “Tho Noble Law of Maine,” and the meeting adjourned till half past 7 o'clock P. Me EVENING SESSION. At half past seven in the Cae number having assembled in the buiidi ing, Lucy and her forces appeared upon the company eawe in, Luey leading the van, an marel along, che looked “‘everv inch a kiog ** The proceedings were opened with a song from the An phicne. The President then introduced the Rev. Thomas Gold. mith, of Canada West. He said—You will expect bat little from the rude country from which I come. 1 shail rot, in the remarks I have to make, stop to point out the various evils of intemperance and the various phases of mizery Which spring from this curse. The injury from the we of ardent epici's is not sufficient to urge against the use of thece spirits as a beverage. ‘The question is, is it right to use them’ And ifa men should ask me if he bad nove right to eat and diing as he pleased J shoula avswer, certainly; but if he should ask me if he bad not aright to get orurk J should say no, you have no right to do it.
