Rights of Women. There., have been
two meetings lately held, called "Women's
Rights Convention v one at Seneca Falls,
New York . and the other at Rochester.
These meetings are tlie commencement of
an intended organization to assert certain
principles which shall secure to women,
married and unmarried, the right of pro
perty, of sutlrage, and all others, in iact
enjoyed by the. other sex, in .the political
and social compact. There is said to be
much talent displayed by the female speak
ers on these occasions, and that rare speci
mens of eloquence. were presented toad
miring auditories. This is not fair. Beauty
alone is potent to rule ; but when we have
beauty and eloquence. combined, what will
become of us? AVe may as well "tave in''
and .. - . ' ,
"Take the distafi with a hand as patient
As e'er did Hercules !"
At the last Convention, Mrs Sand ford,
of Michigan, is represented not as a
"screamer," as some of her sex have been
libellousljr styled, but as one ki who en
chained the attention of the audience, and
who was eloquent throughout." Among
other good things she said :, " From Sein
erasis to Victoria, woman had always been
found equal to the position she was ealled
upon to occupy. She said, give us the
rights of property, the right of exercising
the elective franchise, and the other rights
claimed. We can be as dutiful and obedi
ent as wives, mothers and daughters, even
if we do hang the wreath of domestic hap-,
piness on the Eagle's talons." Wilming

Servants. It was an observation of
Elwcs, the" noted miser, ' that if you keep
one servant, your work will be done; if
vou keep two it will be half done: and if
you .keep three, you may doit yourself."
To Kiss or not to Kiss The N- Y.
Sunday Despatch says : The theatrical
and critical world is divided with regard
to the propriety of a dead Romeo kissing
a living Juliet. It has arisen from the
fact of Mr Anderson, when dead as Romeo,
having returned, with a Vigorous smack,
the salute of Fanny Wallack. when she
kissed his corpse. It was done so heartily
that the audience tittered tlvroughout, and
the gentlemen in the upper tiers were al
most boisterous in their expression oflun."
Of course, the temptation was so strong
that Anderson couldn't resist it.
From the N. V. Freeman's Journal
BISHOP HUGHES' SPEECH FOR
IRELAND.
In the few remarks I am about to make,
I shall be obliged to the ineetiug if , they
will not manifest either their feelings ol
approbation or disapprobation now at what
1 shall say. I did not, until quite recent
ly, expect to address you at all. I have
no preparation for doing so, aud any inter
ruption ou the part of the audience, might
materially disturb - the current, of my
thoughts. . ,
From the moment I heard the news,
however, brought by the last arrival, I
made up my mind that if there should be a
meeting to-night I should attend it- Not
that my presence can have the slightest ef
fect one way or tlie other upon the mo
mentous question which is now opened on
the other side of the water, but at the same
time there may be a crisis in the history of
a nation which will authorize and almost
require one in my station to depart from
what may be considered the ordinary and
legitimate routine of his oflicial duties. I
think that such a crisis and such a period
has arrived in the history of Ireland.
By the last news, it appears that the op
pressor and his victim stand face to face
The same news that brought us this intelli
gence, taught us also that the oppressor
had the weapon of destruction ready lifted,
but as to the defence, or the means of de
fence, on the part of the victim, the news
said nothing.
This, then, is a solemn period in the
history of the Irish people. This is not a
mere passing feeling, or an ebulition of
passion, but it is a momentous question fur
Liberty, for Ireland, for Humanity.
Liberty, Ireland and Humanity are at
slake, and if Liberty, Ireland and Hu
manity have friends on this side ot the
Ocean, now is the time for them to stand
forward. I come among you, gentlemen,
not as an advocate of war. It would illy
accord with my profession. I come' not
as a disturber of the peace of nations. My
office is properly to be a peace maker,
when it is possible; but I come in the name
of what is dearer in the name of sacred
Humanity; and I come to offer my feeble
might between the executioner and his
victim. I come not, if you will, to put
arms into the hands of men by which they
may destroy the lives of others, but I come
to give my voice and my mite to shield the
unprotected bosoms of the sons of Ireland.
It is not for me to say anything calculated
to excite your feelings, when, as you per
ceive, I can scarcely repress my own.
That crisis is pending. It is not "by mul
titudinous assemblages alone, it is by the
force -of the soul, that spirit of sacrifice
which marks the course of men who are
energetic and in earnest, that you may
even ftom these remote shores, from this
hall aid the cause of your loved c.ountry.
It is unnecessary, gentlemen, and is
surely from mc that you should hear any
thing of the antecedents of this awful con
test. It is enough that Ireland is nominal
ly and only nominally a subjugated nation.
This is enough: that in all such relations
the first duty is on the part of the Govern
ment to protect, give good laws and just
government; and when these are withheld,
will you tell me that nation is Vound to
allegiance? Not at all. "Allegiance is a
reciprocal attribute It is a part and it
is a part which ought to correspond with
another part which England has withheld
good government, just laws, and the pro
tection of life, and if I stood in the pre
sence of my God it would not change my
opinion at this moment, that the Govern
ment of England is justly responsible for
the death by starvation of one million of
Irishmen. Then, if that be the case, and
if they had it in their power to "protect
their people for a government is not an
ironhearted corporation it should have a
human heart somewhere, and with that
human heart look upon its subjects or citi
zens as the beings which it should protect
with both paternal and maternal rare.- So
Tong as England hoarded up that food- so
long as she allowed the men who cultivated
that soil to die by the roadside with starva
tion while Lord John Russel sent his
charity-box round the world to keep the
Irishmen from starving all allegiance
was forfeited. But while the Government
itself ihus treats, its people, it will put the
bayonet to their throats if they aspire to
the privilege of freemen. -
Now, gentlemen, I present myself here
not as a Bishop of the Catholic Church; I
present myself here not as an Irishman, for
1 am a citizen of the United States, and I
would do nothing contrary to the laws of
the country which does protect me; but
whatever those laws may be in the abstract,
and however statesmen may define limits,
I know something which, perhaps, they
do not know. I know there is a some
thing in the human breast which knows
nothing of their codifications there is a
responsive feeling in the human breast
which, wherever, it sees reluctant, men
bowed in slavery, then that sentiment,
which never studied . national law, is
waked. Whatever calls it forth in this
manner brings with it the most earnest
and deepest emotions of the human heart.
This I know. It is in this feeling that
at this moment blood may be flowing in
torrents that the butchering soldiery are
revelling in telling each .other how they
have executed exploits that would disgrace
the Indians of our backwoods. And who
is responsible for this? They say it is the
Irish of course. They plant thorns, they
put thistles in the bed of the people, and if
the people complain, if they are not as
tranquil as an obedient child, they exclaim
what a dreadful subject vou are! Tliev
will not allow the people who sleep upon
the bed the privilege of making it.
It is this which marks already the inci
pient decav. Yes, I contend for it, that a
nation so regardless of the laws of God, of 1
the laws of justice a nation so devoid of
the feelings of humanity as England has
proved herself to be, must be a nation al
ready waneing towards its sunset; and who
can tell whether the crimson of that sun
set may r.ot be deep and bloody as that
which they have prepared for many a land?
Gentlemen, I may have given way to
my feelings somewhat. It docs not be
come me to speak the language of passion.
I would state to you now, briefly, the
nature of the subjects under your consid
eration. There is no possible ground on
which, except on the construction of the
partisan judges, to accuse the Irish nation
of rebellion; and I assert that, tor the rea
son that the violation of former treaties had
left them free at any period at w hich the
Irish people thought it possible to throw off
their allegiance and resume their national
independence. But can any one say that
the Irish nation has rushed into this con
test ? The oldest man among us well re
members that their pleadings on their
knees are older than he It was only
yesterdav, as it were, since they allowed
the greater proportion of their subjects in
that country the privilege of worshipping
their God as their consciences directed.
Since that person, you have perceived how
one great and immortal leader, with a pa
tience worthy of Fabius of old, waited year
after year in order that Britain might do
Ireland justice. Yeu have perceived how
his hopes were disappointed how he was
laughed at because he fought with words
aivl not with bayonets so that no alterna
tive has been left, and now that the crisis
has come, I take my stand with the unfor
tunate and oppressed. And I will say
that the policy that has precipitated this
issue on our side would not have been mv
policy. I believe that all the powers of
reason had not been exhausted. I am a
man of peace, not a man of var. I believe
in the efficiency of other means. -f But be
that as it may, all that is now passed, and
to speak of counsel at this moment would
be to speak in Paris when the regency was
offered too late. What then remains,
gentlemen? It remains that the friends of
the three great departments I have spoken
ot, with the friends of Liberty, of Ireland,
and of Humanity, that they shall rally to
sustain the struggle of a few brave and
noble spirits against the most corrupt pow
er that ever desolated a christian land.
How we can aid them I know not. You
have pronounced on that question. You
have selected men to be your agents, and"
in them you have unbounded confidence.
Let no man have the temerity to shake the
confidence of another man in that Direc
tory, because it is only in absolute confi
dence that there can be success. This
point being settled, aid them as you can.
My contribution shall be for a shield,
not for a sword but you can contribute
for what you choose.
Now, gentlemen, it is not for me to
speculate on chances. If I were to speak
my own opinion, I fear 1 should damp the
ardor with which your hearts are throbing.
I look upon the' die a? cast. I look upon
it that many a brave and gallant man ot
Irish birth, and who love Ireland as you
do, shall bite the dust before this contest
is over. . That is my anticipation. But at
the same time I dare not L shall not fore
stall the issue of events which a mighty
Providence holds in its own hands.
But one thing. I do know, that if the
men of Ireland of this day are worthy of
their fatherland, they will do two things
one is, that in the battle they will be as
brave as their nation: the other is,' that
after the battle is over, they will be as
humane. Let them be brave in battle, but
before and after it, let them be as gentle
as if the heart of woman throbbed in their
bosoms. Let them sustain themselves but
four weeks, until the news of this struggle
shall have spread abroad, and then gold
will flow in upon them from the four quar
tcrs of the heavens.
But I speak not of all parts of the world
at the same time. I speak of our own coun
tay : for unhappily, in times past, owing
their origin to. British iniquity, the page
of fiction and the page of history colored
against the 'Irish, prejudices against that
nation have existed here. But whatever
it may be in other respects, the American
people can not bear the idea of people be-
mg starveu to ueain. i ueir uoumjr jmw.-
all been born within gunshot ofTara HalL
I know something of human nature, though
nothing of politics, and I know that this
nation will give out money as. the mother;
gives out her. milk to the suckling on her:-,
bosom. I do not know what is to be done..
I have unbounded confidence in your Di--rectory.
What you have to do is,, however, con
stant, persevering action, and. iC all. th&
people of Ireland axe swept oft the surface
of the 4a nd, commence to raise a bcttc:;
generation, and then we shall see if proud)
bloated England will still perse veue in
keeping her foot on the neck of ber op-w
pressed sister.
What then do we expect of iFekiBdJ Al$
that I expect is, that since the British,
power has brought the crisis to the door o"
the Irish, they shall act worthy that thero
shall be no coward among them, that thet
shall fight like men, brave as the lion iri
the battle,' and gentle and humane as th
dove after the battle is over..
In the language of the poet:.
When other stars shall sink in the ryeg of night.
Her's shall begin to peer eTer bright.
As it were the lamp of God himself.1 '
These are observations which I have nofc
intended, but which have presented, them
selves to mc while speaking.
My object in coming here was to show
you -that in my conscience I have no scru
ples in aiding this cause in every wav wor
thy a patriot and christian. ' Atufe na,ving
shown this, at the same time that I dis
claim being a man of war, and at the sam$
time that I assure you that that past o tho
question is one in which I did not sympa
thise, until all else was deemed to be ex
hausted, I take my stand ajs an. Anie near
citizen, aud give my contribution, homhfo
as it is, for that cause in which I regard;
Liberty, Ireland and Humanity tube vi
tally concerned.
Bishop Hughes having retired fron the
stand, the Chairman observed, that he hdj
omitted a part of his speech, which h
would beg leave to supply. He left on the,
table his contribution, as follows :
$500 to purchase a shield to interpoao
between the oppressor and; his xictira, '
