THE WOMEN OF ENGLAND
THE WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES.
MRS. EX-PRESIDENT TVlo 2 TO THE Dt CHESS OF SCTUER- !
LAND AND OTHERS.
Your address to your sisters, the wo men of the Uni
ted Stales, t.n the subject of domestic slavery, as it
exists among us, which has appeared in our public
journals, should be acknowledged bv some oue of the
vast number of those to whom i! is addressed, w ithout
await) ug the publication of a more formal communica
tion. T here aie some of the concerns of life iu which
conventionalities are properly to be disregarded, and
this is one cf theiiE A reply to your address must ne
cessarily be the work ot someone individual among us,
or must go altogether tin performed. Woman, in the
l aired States, with but tew exceptions, confines herself
within that sphere for which the God who created her
seems to have deigned her. Her circle is, literally and
emphatically, that of her family; ami such she is con
tent that it shati be Within that circle her iniluence is
felt over the relations ot lit -, as wife, mother, mistress —
and as she discharges the duty of one, or ah of these re
lations, so is she respected or otherwise. To cast a
doubt upon her fidelity in anyone of them is to excite
against her the odium of the community, and, in a great
measure, to dethrone her from iter high |*>sitioii She
knows nothing of political conventions, or conventions
of any other sort .ban such as are held under suitable
pastors of the church, auu are wholly directed to the
advancement of lie Christian religion’ Such is empha
tically the case with the women ot the Southern States.
Do vou wish to see them, you most visit their homes.
Do You desire to ascertain the nature of their employ
ments, you must enter their family circles, and, believe
me, good sisters of England, you would find in their
Christian d'-yorfmeut, and perfect amiability of manners,
enough at once to inspire vou with the most exalted
res;icct and esteem. Va might hud no splendid vest
ments of dress, no glittering diamonds, no aristocratic
displays. No, the vestments they wear are those of
meekness and charity, their diamonds are gems ot the
heart, and their splendor the neatness, and order, and
contentment, which everywhere greets the eye; and
that neatness, that order, and that cjntentmeut, is in
nothing more observable that iu the well clothed and
happy domestics who welcome your arrival, and heap
upon you every comfort during your sojourn under the
roofs of their master. You will see then how utterly
impossible it would be to expect the women of the Uni
ted States to assemble in convention, either in person
or bv proxy, in order to frame an answer to your ad
dress. Nay, I must, moreover, in all frankness, declare
to vou, that the women of the South, especially, have
not received yonr address iu the kindest spirit. They
regard it as entirely incompatible with all confidence in
or consideration for them, to invoke the interposition of
the women of what are called the free State.-', in a mat
ter with which they have no more to do than have
yourselves, and whose interference in the question can
produce no other effect than to excite disturbance, and i
agitation, aad ill-will, and possibly, in the end, a total ;
annihilation ot kind feeling between geographical sec- J
tKius. It i> the province ot the women of the Southern j
States to preside over the domestic economy of the es
tates and plantations f the r husbands—it is eniphuti- j
call) their province to visit the sick, and attend to the
comfort of all the laborers upon such estates; and it is
lilt to lie but a poor compliment to the women of the
South to suppose it neces-ary to mtrpduce other super
intendence thaii their own over the condition cf ihe.r
deftendants and servants. They see, too, cr fancy they
see, in the fact that the address which you have made
them was handed to you, already prepared for signature
by the editors of the newspaper press of England, and
that, according to the admission of the Dutchess of Su
therland in her opening address to your convention,
your convention itself is but the ofispnng of the same
political newspaper press—l say, they see enough iu all
this to excite not their sympathies but their apprehen
sions. They aiso see, or fancy that they see, in your
movement, the fingers of your greatest statesmen. The
Countess of Derby, the Viscountess Palmerston, the
Countess of Carlisle, Lady John Russell, not lo mention
others of distinction and notoriety, would scarcely be
complimented by a sup;;. >iiiou that they had signed or
opetdy approved such an address without the concur
l uce'of tlieu hasid-. Tue women of the Southern
States are, for in*.* iuo-! part, well educated; indeed,
tbev yield not in tins respect to any females on earth,
and they have pecu..ix opportunities oi acquiring
knowledge in regard to the public concerns of the world.
Polities is almost universally the theme of conversation
among the men, in all their coteries and social gather
ings, and the women would lie stupid indeed, it they
did not gather much information from this abundant
source. Hence thev are not ignorant of the rapid
growth of their beloved country, or of the promises of
its early future. Their mothers knew this laud when
it contained but three millions of inhabPants, -an-.l num
bered but thirteen States. Their children know it now
as the great confederated republic whose population al
ready equals 26, 1 • *>/s, and whose dominions are
waited by the waters of two oceans. Believe me, that
its magnitude now, and its importance in the future, is
as fully known to the women of the United States, as it.
; i j your husband -, and t iilors, an<K sia-csinen. Our
census tables above a duplication of our population
in every cvcle of twenty-three years; so that by the
time the infant now in the cradle .-hail have attained to
the age of manhood, that population will have iiKse.c
ed to 50, ,o;0; muiby ti.e time that Mime infant at
tains lo middle age, tt will Lave swoden into i ,fi y • ; H >o.
We need go nofai ther in the estimate, in order to un
vcil that unmet- ** bi'ure which Lcs before ns—a future,
unrivalled iu ; oit*. of power by anything the world has
heretofore seen-—a future which already fixes u| on it the
iutenae: od steudf ’ a of best t ;sn ei of other coun
tries—a future which unfolds i new destiny, a happier
and a brighter one, I trust, for the human fatuity—a
future tc be regarded with rapture bv the loier cf man,
and which may cause privilege to shiver and tremble
with fear in all its fibre- un i arteries. I allude ttot to any
Jsjwt rof the sword, jo, I allude to a power mote
resistless, and more e tain iu its results—the power of
example—the example of a free, prosperous and great
p*'ople among whom all urtiiicial distinctions of society
are unknown ; where preferment is equally open to all i
and wan's capacity for seR-guvemnient is recogniml and j
conclusively established. The women of the United I
i late* foresee all this, and they also (hocnuglily com- j
prebend the fact that all confederacies have heretofore, j
■n tae history of the world, been broken up and desfroy-
u'i l ‘ K * rnat 'Linations of foreign governmetlfo; and if \

iFsul.s whicn have attended on o,hers, and to look w ith
suspic.o;;, to i e ti< in what quarter it mav, on all inter
ference in our domestic concerns. If the Achriau and
o'ln-r lo ague i could not withstand the niachiuat ions of
toe powers ot their day, how truly sensitive ought we to
be op a point which proved so fatal to them ; and it the
toreign ri’ates, by whom such confederacies were stu
rounded, felt i; to be due to their own safety to destroy
‘.lit it by their machinations, have we not reason to guj
po* - that a leaf-Id interest is tounu tn our case, in vie v
i °t the rapid growth ot the Umted ri ates. and in the
I ettrly development of that future which will clothe this
country v, s.h a!! the eleuieats oi control in the afiairs of

| looked upon as stars of the first magnitude, will, ere
; long, it the L nitc-d .States roll on in their present orbi •,
be secondary and tertiary in the ixiiitic-.i! hemisphere.
i Thi is quite as thoroughly known by us as bv vou,
• worn“ii of England, and therefore you should not lie in
! ~,e slightest degree surprised at the suspicion with
; which your address i- regarded by all the thinking vv< -
I ui_en, not only ii the front it, but of the whole Union,
j \\ e know tin*: there :s bat one object on which there
j i a {*ossibility ol wrecking the bark oi this Union—a
j possibility, however, which 1 trust is very remote- —and
to that very subject you have given your attention ; and
! not only so, but h ive sitb-cribv-tl au address, not prep;;-
j red by yoni .-elves as the emanation of your own sus
; cvptihle hearts, but the admitted production of the
1 newspaper pre-s of England, which affects a mawkish
sensibihtv on a subject with which it has nothing pro
| perly to do, and ;:ii t>r ends which every retiectiug pei
son cannot fail to under.- and.
Nor is this suspicion iu any degree removed by the
fact on which you predicate your address, viz: the fact
that your country inflicted on her then colonies, the
“curse” of slavery in opposition to tbeir frequent and
solemn protests In the historical tact you are certain
ly cot reel. The colony of Virginia, and, I believe, most
of the other colonies, were constant and earnest in their
remonstrances; and one of Tie causes set forth in the
Declaration of iude;ieiideiice, as prepared and written
by a -on of Virginia, was a continuance of the slave
trade by she mother country in despite of all remon
s’r-iiice on Tie part of the colonies Thus, tben, Eng
land not only permitted but encouraged the slave trade,
for a period of a century and a Itaitj as a means of swel
ling her coders; and the inlatnoua traffic could only b
expel!, fro : tins country by the force and power > f
•he s, oi and. i our Kings and Queens, sustained bv yen r
Parliament ad people, entered in o treat es and iorrmd
contracts, for the purpose of reaping a rich harvest if
profit from the tr.i le an 1 the voice of the slave-deale:
on ihe shores of Africa was perfect music in their ears,
because it was ihe nitric of geld old into the tie sury,
and ail merry England data el with joy *;t the pleasan
sound You have beeeti well infonne i, doubtless, of the
ire ti.stnaie by your Queen Anne, of “blessed memo
ry,” and the crown of .Spain, v,h.eh st'pulaied a mo
nopoly of the trade in clo-e i ar.nership between ili-.-s
royal pi. reonages, to the exclns.on of atl the world bc
-ides. \ es, you are altogether correct in ascribing who -
c er Hi -re is of immortality or crime, in the present con
d.lion ;f tin* Southern States to your own England.—
Toe colonies remonstra ed, and remonstrated in vain,
until driven to and. -q emf.ou by her perseverance, they
s.-v* red the liomls dial b >und diem to England, and es
tablished their i jdepcnder.ee, and abolished the slave
trade by their only resource, the power of the sword.
The great clave market, in which ringluud had enjoyed
a monopoly, vv::s tiius lost to her; and from that uion.cn
slo b.g.ut to di-cover that there was someibing rathei
inmioial in the ttaffic. Uelote, the slave ship was a
st:;’ -!/ a: g,i--y ie. I, n vv.tli trea-ure. The groans of its
uohappy vic'ims Could not be heard above the surges
of the ocean. Soon afer, a faint cry could be
heatd, borne on the winds from Africa’s coast ; and
now, the Parliament House resounds vvitli the clanking
of the chains and the cries of the victims. Such tht
mighty iniluence of the American Revolution, and such
the power of the sword wielded in that ever gloriou
struggle l desire lo tell you, women of England,
plainly, that your address, prepared not by yourselves,
but by others, comes, therefore, to as, laden with sus
picions, when you advert, as the groundwork of voui
interference with our domestic institutions, to the fact
of the foimor criminality of England. Would Eng
land, with the continuance of a mono; oly of the trade
over our bread acres up to the present day, have clothed
herself in sackcloth and ashes, us she now has done?—
Where was her humanity and her Christian philanthro
py for the long pe- iod of Idu years ? Our ancestors on
this side of the Atlantic thundered, through their re
monstrances, at tiie doors of the Parliament House,
a..d at the gates of her royal palaces—and yet, for all
that long period, she had no ears to hear, no heart to
understand. No sympathy, and no philanthropy, such
as now exists, found place in the stately palace. How
has happened all this? It would be well tor you to in
quire. Doubtless some of your distinguished husbands
can give you plausible explanations—at least such as
will content politicians on your side of the water. The
editors of the newspajKtr press can come again to your
aid : but will it beau easy task to convince us that the
people of the present generation are better, more more,
and more Christian, than all who have gone before
hem and that your right reverend bishops and pre
Sates are more pure a id orthodox thin all their prude
c. 8 ors—that your kings anti qucciis, vour uobloa ami
gentry, are influenced by a higher spirit of Christianity
than all who have preceded them—that your statesmen
I of the present day are superior, in moral excellences,
to those illustrious men who shaped the destinies c.f
England in past times, and left to history undying
names ? It will be a very, very difl cult matter, to fur
nish us with satisfactory reasons for this great and sud
den conversion ol a whole people, after losing the
American marke', on the subject of the slave-trade —
and we, women of the United .State.-, must ever receive
with suspicion all interference in our domestic affairs
on the part of the noble ladies of England, or any por
tion ol her inhabitants. Such interference implies
either a want of proper and becoming conduct on our
part in the management of our negroes, or it seeks to
enlist the sympathies of the world against us. Yotn
own address, I hare the charity to suppose that it was
written in ignn-ance <>f the fact, its it is, represents the
rioutwiti fiuates a> denying to their slave- all religious
instruction—a calumny more Else was never uttered.
So far fi om it, no Sabbath goes by that the places ol
worship are not numerously attended by the black pop
ulation edifying discourses are delivered to them, and
ofien bv colored pastors, and large numbers of them
arc i:i communion with the churches. And yet your
rears are made to flow freely’ over the sad ami melan
choly privations of the children ot Africa, to whom the
bread of life is represented as denied. Your assertion
could only have been derived from some dealer in, or re
tailer of, fiction. It is known how readily woman’s
heart responds to either real or imaginary distress ; and
when woman joins iu the coccerns oi’ the busy world,
how readily her sympathies become excited by an arti
ficial, as well as a real, picture of human suffering.—
This - empathy, which makes her the gem of creation,
rather disqualifies her as a legislator, and subjects her
to be made the instruments of the designing. One tael
is incontrovertible, and I recommend it lo tlie conside
ration of ihe Ductless ol .Sutherland, and her compeers
of high and low degree: that England, when she had
the t’.-wer to prevent the introduction of negroes into
the United States, most obstinately refused to do it; bu;
now tha* is deprived of her authority, either to advi-e
or dictat e, she sighs ami sheds teat s, and complains over
the injustice and the wrong. The crock side, good sis
ters of England, is said to cry most piteously; but woe
to the unha; py traveller who is beguiled by its tears'.
I have thus'attempted to deal candidly with you iu
disclosing some of the grounds of the suspicious
which, in the estimation of many, attach to your pro
ceedings. I will go further, and inform you that it is
better for both you and us ihat we abstain, iu future,
from all possible interference with each other in the do
mestic concerns of our res; ective countries. In the first
place, such interference comes with ill grace from eith
er of us, and can be received with no favor. Iu morals
we believe ourselves quite your equals, and, therefore,
jt sounds harshly in our ears to be admonished by you
of our sins, leal or imaginary. There is a proud heait
in the American breast, which rebels against all assump
tion on the part of others, although they may wear du
cal coronets, or be considered the stars of fashions iu
foreign courts. Manage vour own affairs as best you
mav, and leave us to manage ours as we may think
proper. Each of ns will find abundant employment in
the perloi-niar.ee of our respective duties. It you vvidi
a suggestion as lo the suhuble ocrujiation of your idle
hours, 1 will point you to the true field for you philan
thropy the unsupplied wants of your own people *>i
England In view of your palaces, there is misery and
sup ring enough to excite your most active sympathies.
I remember to liave seen lately, that there were iu the
city of Loudou atone lfio, fioo persons* who rose in the
morning without knowing where or how they were to
obtain their “daily breed,’ and I remember, also,
somewhere to have seen that tin* Eleemosynary estab
lishment of England costs annually 411 -o storin g
—a mi greater tb.au that expended by this frugal mat
economical government of ours, with itsaimy and navy,
ami <-i> .1 :.:m diplomatic L>t. Surely, surely, here is a
held larg .* enough for the exercise of the most generous
svmputhv. the most unbounded charity. Go, my good
Ductless of Sutherland, mi a:i embassy oi mere)’ to .he
poor, the stricken, the hungry and the naked of your
own land—cast in there laps the sn;>erflux of your en
ormous wealth; a single jewel from vour hail, a single
gem from your dress, would relieve man;, a poor female
of England, who is now cold, and shivering, and de- ■-
titnte. Enter the abode of desolation and want, id
cause so talk! wretchedness to put on one snide of com
fort, (>ci haps tin* first one which has lighted up its face

Have vour working men, women and children as well

an European adinr -the affair of a high and impel'.a!
•iti.uarch, and of a rich and jrovvetful ai is.ocracv. luc
poor serf mav toil and labor, and stretch his heart
strings until they crack in agony, and yet the noble la
dies of England will express no sympathy for him, and
present no addreas to their sisters of Russia upon the
subject of serfdom. \ou will in no event dis'urb your
selve* with the past, present, or future condition of the
..erf. The newspaper press would admonish you of the
danger of interfering in that quarter, and the Emperor
Nicholas vv.il go unquestioned us to the manner and ex
tent of his royal away. But. 1 return to your subject
the stall of * lav or in our Sou thorn States and 1 tell
vou, tha* yon are mistaken in supposing that the Sou h
ern heart is different from your own in its sympath es
aid emotions. Believe me, ihat ihe human heart is
quite as susceptible with us as with you. Moralists,
and deilers in fiction, may artfully overdraw and give
false e iliir.ng, as th *y are licea-ed to do ; but be not and •
ceived into the beli t that ihe heart of man or vvoma-,
on this -:de of the Atiuutic, is either more obdurate oi
cruel, than on yours. There is no reason, then, why
you should leave your follow subjects in misery at home,
in order to take your seat by ihe ♦fide of the black man
on the plantations of America. Even if you are horror
stricken at the highly colored picture of human distress,
incident to the separation of husband and wife, and pa
rents, and children, under our system of negro slavery
—a thing, by tiie wav, of rare occurrence among us,
and then attended by peculiar circumsfan .-es—you have
no occasion to leave your own land tor a similar, and
stiil harsher, and more unjust exercise of authority. Go,
and arrest tiie proceedings of your Admiralty! Throw
vour charities between poor Jack and the pres-gang!
II bu fought the battles of England all over tiie seas.
II” vva.- at the Nile. He bic.i and conquered at Trafal
gar. He caught your gallant Nelson in his arms as he
was falling on the bloody deck; received his last breath,
and consigned his remains to ihe bosom of Sr.. Pauls
Cathedral. He has made England what she is, great
and powerful. Sh ill he not, fiif.er all this, be permitted
to enjoy the sunshine of home, with his wile and little
ones, for a single day ? He has perilled his life for En
gland--lie has returned from a five years’ absence in
dis'aut seas his wife and children look with rapture
upon h 8 weather-beaten countenance be holds the
loved ones in his embrace—but the press-gang comes,
and his fitful dream of happiness is over. If he resists,
there ire fetters for his limbs I If he talks of England’s
proudly boasted.common law, there is no law for him.
Magna Charm as force, end the Petition of Right a
mockery, as far as he is concerned. Go, sisters of En
gland, to your Queen, your Prime Minister, your Parli
aments, and your courts, and r.sk t lioir interference to
arrest this moral and political iniquity, and you will be
told, “ Woman should have no concern with polities—
back to your drawing looms and nurseries.”
For another subject, quite as fruitful of sympathy, 1
ne and only refer you to the condition of Ireland, with its
population but recently starving for food, which was
freely supplied frotu oui’granaries, and at this moment
craving mercy from avaricious landlords, who, to ex
tend ‘lie area of grazing lands, are leveling their humble
cottages to the ground, and sending them forth to die
upon the public highways. Women of England! go
tTither with your tender ciiaritics. There, ou tiie road
side, sinks an attenuated and exhausted mother, still
s raining her perishing child to her breast, while the
unhappy husband and father, himself foodless and rai
meutless, sheds drops of agony over the heart-rending
svene. Spare from the well-fed negroes of these States
one drop of your superabounding svmpatliv, to pour
into that bitter cup which is overrunning vvitli suvovv
and with tears. Poor, suffering, down-trodden Ireland!
land of poetry and song, of noble feeling and generous
emotions —birth-place of the warrior, the statesman,
the orator —there is no room for you in the sympathi
zing hearts of the women of England. I.et the Celtic
race be driven, by starvation, from ihe land of their
fathers, and its exodus vvou.d be regarded, not w ith sor
row, but with joy and gladness by the secret heart of
England. “Religious toleration ”is but an unmeaning
phrase with the people of Great Britain—it extends not
beyond the lips. A difference in creed has been the
death-blow to Ireland.
1 tea'.i:t not will you on the subject of our domestic
institutions. .Such as they are, they are ours. “We
fear the Greeks though bearing presents.” Never was
adage more applicable—although professing friendship
and sympathy, we cannot consent that England shall
mix herself up with our concerns. We prefer to work
out our own destiny. \\ lieu she might have done so,
she gave not relief \\ e asked her for bread, and she
gave us a stone. The African, under her policy and by
her laws, became property. That property has descend
ed from father to son, and constitutes a large part of
.Southern wealth. We desire no intrusion of advice as
to our individual property rights, at home or abroad.—
\V cme idle not vvitli your laws of primogeniture and
entail, although they are obnoxious to all our notions
of justice, and are iu violation of the laws of nature.-
Would the noble ladies ol England fee! no resentment
if we should address them upon those subjects? And
yet is therea certainty that our voice would not be heard
by the toiling and landless millions, in favor of a sys
tem which we consider more wise, more just and more
consistent with the holy word of God? We, however,
preach no crusade against aristocratic establishments.
It :s enough tor us that we do not allow them to exist
among ourselves. We are content to leave England in
the enjoyment of her peculiar institutions; and we iu
sist the right to regulate ours without her aid. I
pray you to bear in mind that the golden rule ol life is
for each to attend to his own business and let his neigh
bor’s alone! This means peace, love and friendship.
The opposite means hatred, ill-will, contention—it de
s;toys the peace of neighborhoods, and is the fruitful
cause of discord among nations. I must also say to
you, frankly, that we regard England as an indifferent
adviser tut the subject ot negro slavery. Her states
manship, if it be judged by her course of policy in re
gard to the West India Isiattds, would pr> v * l,< *’ *“*
position ; unless, indeed, fanaticism bt? 8 gOOCI Au*
riser, and ruin and desolation evidences of a wise and
sound policy. No, we prefer to follow our own cone p
tion of what it is proper for its to do. Oar eyes are
turned across the ocean, not in the direction of Eng
land, but to Africa. The footprints of our policy are
seen in the colonies there established, already become
independent States—in the voluntary emancipation of
slaves by our citizens as preparatory of emigration to
Africa—a course of emancipation which, from 17'JO to
185", has increased ottr tabic in Virginia, of free ne
groes, in the ratio of fiOl per cent., while the white pop
ulation has only increased lu2jd percent., and the slaves
but fid 4 per cent. These interesting statistics I extract
from a memorial recently presented to the Legislature
of Virginia, asking additional aid to farther the coloni
zation of freed negroes in Liberia. Thus we seek to ret
rib’ite th” wrongs done by England to Africa, by re
turning e vilization for barbarism —Christianity for idol
atry. We desire no such boon as England bestowed on
her islands -no blight so abiding, no mildew so destruc
tive —no ultimate war between the races, bloody, deso
lating. and finally annihilating. Steam is conquering
distance, and Africa will be brought nearer and nearer
to our shores with each revolving year—and the results
of a policy, at once wise a.id discreet, commencing with
slaveholding Virginia, and extensively adopted bv the
people of the United States, will claim, sooner or inter,
the admiration of mankind.
America might love England, if England would per
mit her. A common descent, a common language, mu
tual interests, attd, to a great extent, n common heritage
of freedom, should draw the two nations together. The
disposition of the Southetn mind (I speak what I do
know) is to cultivate the closest friendship with Eng
land. Nearly all of the Soirheru people are the de
scendantsof the first settlers. They liave kindred blood
almost untnixed by emigration, flowing in their veins
Their interests lead them to cherish the principles of
free trade. Their codon, their rice, and other produc
tions of the soil, find extensive markets in Great Urit
ain. They would have them still more free still more
widely open. For myself, when I have visited Eng
land, it has been with emotions of reverence, growing
out of the recollections of the historic page. Westmin
ste. Abbey, with its undying memorials—the noble mon
uments of tlie past scattered over the face of the coun
try the very ruins spoke of an ancestry alike dear to
the American and Englishman. My intermixture of
Scotch blood, derived from a lead’ r of two Scottish
clans, who lost life, castle and estate in tie.* wars of
King Charlie, with the pure Anglo-Saxon, in no degree
abated my at dor and enthusiasm, when I looked upon
these mementoes of the mighty past, in which so many
of its here claim a common interest with you. But, if
Englan 1 will sever these ties; if, instead of cultivating
good feeling with us, site chooses rather to subject us to
taunt, to ridicule, to insult in its grossest form; and,
above all, impropctly to interfere in our domestic af
fairs ; if she scatters her nobility among us, first to share
our hospitality and then to abuse ns; if, what is still
worse, she sends her emissaries, in the persons of mem
bers of Parliament, to stir up our people to mutiny and
revolt; if, which is quite as objectionable, her public
press shall incite her women, and the more illustrious
for birth the worse it makes the matter, to address us
homilies on justice, humanity and philanthropy, as if
we h i t not, like themselves, the advantage ot civiliza
tion. and the lights of Christianity, with ail the desire
to ei .hate re! it ions of itnd/ii.g amity, th * men of the
United States, deriving tHeir spirit from their mothers
and their wives, may be forced into the adoption of a
very different feeling with regard to Great Britain.
JULIA GARDINER TYLER.
Sherwood Fokkst, Virginia, Jan. 24,1853.
Kissing —No luxury that the market affords seems
liable to more sudden changes, more unaccountable
rises and depressions than the one we have just speci
fied. Cotton isn’t a circumstance to it. Sugar and
molasses can’t bear any competition with it. We are
altogether at a loss to account for this state of affairs. —
Whether it is owing to the climate, to the season, to
the men or to the women, we know not, and should
like to know. Avery pretty little girl informed us
last night that, in her opinion, it was shameful to
make men, especially good-looking ones like wc be,
nay so much merely for a kiss. We concurred, ami
immediately came down to record the estimated
value of one smack in Rochester, N. V. It will be re
membered that, last summer, a very learned adjudica
tion was made iu our city upon this subject, and that
since tliat period a legal estimate has been made in
lios'on. The tariff’of kisses is now, in Boston, ten dol
lars; in Rochester, N. 4’., seven dollars; in New Or
leans, live dollars! Thank heaven! we live in New Or
leans, and from the depths of our pocket-book, pity
those bachelors of Boston and Rochester.—.V. O. Pic
jgfT'ie famous Proudhon h:ut just had a singula r
ease before the Courts of Besanson, France, his uativ o
place. Some years ago he published at bis own cost a
work ou universal grammer. It did not sell, and he
finally disposed of the sheets to a trunk-maker at so
mucli a pound. In time he became famous, and the
trunk maker, who had not used the paper, sold it to a
book seller at four times the original cost. The book
seller advertised the work, but Proudhon contended he
had no right to do so. having bought it, not as a book,
but as waste paper. The Court decided in furor of the
h.K)k-seller, but that the author of “ Property is Rob
b ry” should undertake such a suit was thought laugh
able by the public.
