THE NEW YORK HERALD. WHOLE NO. 7558. THE WORLD'S TEMPERANCE CONVENTION. THE COLD WATER ARMY ROUTED BY THE REV. MISS ANTOINETTE BROWN. NEAL DOW'S COUP D'ETAT. The Stars Called in to Clear the Camp. PROTEST OF WENDELL PHILLIPS & CO. VICTORY ON THE SIDE OF THE PETTICOATS. The Old Fogies in the Hands of the Police, The Tabernacle vs. Metropolitan Hall, &e &o., & At nine o’clock ye: terday morning, the World’s Tempe- raace Convention ussewoled at the Metropolitan Hall. The mee sing hat not pr: roused far, when it was perceived that the fight of toe day previous, between the Rev. Antionette Brown ard tte World's Temperance Conyen- tion, was by no mesns ended, but would soon be rene wed, ‘Miss Brown bad fully ronstered ber forces, being backed on this occasion by Wende}l Philips, G. W. Clark, anda host of women’s rizhtx mea The opponents thought things looked sgainst them this time, and many of the wiser ones recommended @ patls jubmistion to petti- coat rule, and sdvined s hearing of the courageous delegate in skirts The more spirited would not listen to such debasewent. They were bound to put her down. They Iitrte knew what stuff they had to deal with. Miss Grown, ncthing daunted by threat, insult, or opoosition, went into the fight deter- mained to conquer. and +he burg on wll the Conven- ton, through its chairman, decized in her favor. The Conyention should not blame Neal Dow for his decision, because Avtionetie is quite a pretty woman, and it would require some one of a strooger nerve than even s cold water nan to look her in the eyeand tell her she should not come upon the platform, Many of the old fogiea who #0 fierorly oppose her, do it more through a spirit of jealoury against Neal, than frem regard to the temperance cause. Several have inadvertently let the eat out of the beg and in their remarks admitted that “they had a great love for woman, (here they would try te catch the eye «f Avtoinette, but they coulda’t come tt ) yet they did not like to see her on the platform; which meant they did not like to see her so noar their chairman. It war really cutting to the white chokered gentlemen to nee Avtoinet'e and Neal on such good terms, Miss Brown has many beckers, and some say that in the hottest of the fight ber friends urg2 her on with “Go it: Antoinette; I'l hold your bonnet” It’s a very pretty quarrel, just as it stands nd bets aro about even. In the mornizg the PuesipEent called the mesting to order, acd prayer was cffored up, (how necesaary,) after which the minutes of the previous day were read and approved. ‘The Cum then announced the appointment of the fol- lowing COMMITTEES.
