ST.

Tho recent convention at Montpelier, of the advocates of Woman Suffrage, may be counted a success, not only as regards numbers but also in the interest. The number in attendance at first was small, and not much spirit manifested, but the convention rapidly improved in both respects until tho last evening of the session, when the hall was packed to its utmost capacity and the popular feeling in favor of the proposed reform was aroused to such a pitch of enthusiasm that it required a man of more than ordinary nerve to stand before the assembly and undertake to breast the popular current.

No doubt a large number of those present were attracted by curiosity and were not friends of the movement.

Our people are not in the habit of experimenting with vital and fundamental relations of society. They do not demand it. They do not even wish it. And it will be a long time before they will be educated up to the point of discarding the principles of civil and social polity under which they have reaped such large harvests of freedom and security.

But we wish to propose a few questions to the leaders of this movement, which must bo fairly met and answered before they can win their way at all iuto the respect or confidence of tho community.

The interests of the two sexes are identical; both must rise aud fall together. To-day, the best governed aristocracy in the world is that of Holland there women are voters.

In England the movement is more than half conceived and here it must go forward. God grant, said Mr. Blackwell, that while my pulse beat, I may never be mean enough to look down upon any woman with contempt, and to say that I have a right to rule over her. The proposition was not to make women vote, but to let down the bars and give her a chauce to vote. All the power of government rests with the people, said our fathers.

"Are not women people? The great privilege that we desire we cannot get without hard work. Conventions must be held in every town; tracts must be distributed, and people interested in the subject. The men and women of Vermont must sec to it that no man is sent to the Legislature who is not right on this question.

We arc not surprised to find them in company, they are never far off from each other. But we would be glad to have these reformers tell us what we shall gain if woman gets the ballot, aud man loses wife and motLcr, and society loses the institutes which arc at the foundation of its order and security? There are some which are no reforms. With fair professions, or with concealed principles, they impose upon the credulous or the unsettled for a time, but they need only to be followed to their conclusions to be seen with their associatcs-to forfeit the temporary a.ssent that has been given to them by the truly good and virtuous. The suffrage question is'not a question of woman's intelligence or worth or capacity. It is not a question of her culture or ability.

It is not a question of her influence. No one questions these. She is as noble, as excellent, as influential as man. lice. I M.
