So nostage on papers delivered within this foar.tv. The Woman Suffrage Question. Two books have recently appeared on A woman question, which have fiven a er activity to the discussion those of Mil! and Rushnell. To oar mind, neither pf tliem throw much light on the subject. To the question of woman suffrage is limply one of e.rpraiency. viu tne world tlii country, or women, be benefitted It conferring the right of voting on womiTi? That is the only question, in our opinion, at issue. But all the writers on tb subject talk round it, and discuss points which have nothing to do with suffrageOne talk9 of the natural right of luflfrsse (hich never existed anywhere); tmither of the inferiority f women (which ,tver existed either); a third of Scripture doctrines (when the Scripture says nothing about suffrage); a fourth about the tlllj.xti"ii of women (when women are no mote subject than they choose to be); a fifth talks about the trouble and immodesty of women voting (when there is not a particle n-.ore trouble about a woman's voting than there is of a man). Dr. Bushneil ?vs there are different function of tti. Suppose there are, what has that to jo with an intellectual judgment on the political questions of the country? Both the advocates and opponents of woman's suffrage, as-u'.r.e facts and reasons which Jo not exist and cstinot be - maintained Tlis is the esse with all subjects; and one eeedoniy g'i back to t lie discussion upon the effects of railroads in lS2i to know that on thing; which seemed to be nothing lot matters of fact and science, men may be strongly mistaken. Recently a grave writer in the Christian lateUigencer gravely asked why women ! produced no Shakespeare, Newton or Miiion? Just at the same time, one of the auartc-r'.ies had a notice in it of the (At work of Mrs. Somerville a irork of : ...-f..-..7 . ymtni-( sriairr nriui n in y cnjiue'ii. i rr.'

All the second or modern constitutions have the word male in them. But some of the original colonial charters were simply grants, without any reference to suffrage. Under these charters it was assumed that the freemm were the voters, and it became the usage. Hut there was one State in which women did vote till deprived of.it by the Legislature. Single women voted in New Jersey till the Legislature took the right away. It was said this was done because the women cheated; but what women since the world began could cheat to be compared with the cheats uf the New York eltc-tion? The fact is the woman's suffrage was taken away by party spirit. They did not vote to suit the majority in the legislature. Whatever changes may occur in the future it is pretty evident not mm h beadway can be made against the woman movement by representing women to be infe rior beings.

Democratic Principles. What are the principles of the Democratic partv? This party claims to be nationnl: hut th PTistn nfa natinal parfv presupposes the existence of national principles. Can any body tell us what lhose principlea are? We have carefully debt, unless the bonds are taxed. It IS opposed to the payment of the principal ot ,he debt uniess it is paid in ereenbacks It is opposed to the 15th Amendment and j Chinese immigration. It is opposed to the reduction of the national debt. It is posed to everything the Republican party

has done, and to everything it proposes to ; ie """ l"ro inese veins. ,x aia, g,DR do. Here is a long list of negatives. It,away and remember when lam gone that is true, therefore, of the party in Ohio, j 'here is one heart that throbs for you that it is a party of negatives. j throbs with endless pangs for you who In Wisconsin the Democrats rejoice in ! have so cruelly blighted my life llencethe destruction of slaverv. and cheerfully forth my life will be to me nothing but a

In Massachusetts the party is running for Governor John Q'lincy Adams,! an old fashioned Abolitioi.ist, who rejoices j in the eradication of slavery, and favors' universal sufl'iae. From this exhibit it will be seen that we : are COTrect in saying that no man Can tell I Jjwhat are the principles of the Democratic) rartv are. It is one thins? in Ohio, anoth- i er thing in Wisconsin; another in Missis- j sippi; still another in Alassachusetts and New York, and another in Pennsylvania. It is anything to all men if by any means its leaders can get into power. This is illustrated by a mistake made by one of the Ohio Democratic orators recently. Connel) is ihe name. He made a speech in the hoop-pole rtgion. That s a great lumber country, and the people 1 V itinera ts and all, are in favor of a taiiffi on lumber. Coi'iiell did not understand i

,i,e situation, and'in his speech he blazed .i, ;..!!.. ti. t.iff ! lle ct)ul(i nU ileIp knowing that, so he fupi0sed the tariff on lumber the thii ig to talk about.

So it is throughout the country; Democraiic piinciples are sectional, and not the same in any two places. There is one point, however, upon which all the platforms and speakers and organs agree, viz : that the l'emocratic I . .

At first, she mourned bitterly over the departure of Albert Sloan; but, iu time, lhe wound healed and the resolved to live and die, a maideu. She had numerous admirers and many suitors, but she did not eucourage their intentions; and if any proposed to her she always gently, but decidedly rejected their iff.T. ' The story; of her early love was known throughout all liedford, but she never alluded to it, even to her most intimate f riend. But in secret she was continually thinking of Albert, and sometimes she would say that perhaps he might yet return to his native viiisge. Rut then came tl.e thought what if he shou'iu?" lie would never seek her again, whom he believed so guilty and false. Her father bad made several attempts to gain her consent to a mariiage with a prticuiar frioud of his, but without suc ccs the steadily refused to marry. One morning as Ella was busying herself with household duties, one of her neighbor's daughters came in asking: "Have you heard the news, Miss Cole?" "I have not," was the reply. "A geutleman arrived at the hotel last night. His name is Mr. Sloan, and mother says he used to be an old beau of yours. She iaid you refused him, aud so he went away, but has come back ' real rich. Ail the girls are trying to catch him, aud your cousiu Addie Goodwin is among them." "Ilu&h, cbiidl ' said Eila, imperatively. "ln't it a pity you are an old maid," contiued the young gossip, not heeding Miss Colo's command, "if you were a coupla years younger you might stand some chance of winiuug him again, but your most earnest efforts iu that diieciion would be entirely useless now, I suppose,'' and with a tautaliaiog laugh the gul hurried away. - The rest of the day passed heavily to Ella, and late iu the afternoon she determined to take a walk, iu h'ipes of forgetting fot a time old recollections and re I uieiubrances which had engrossed her thoughts ever since the communication of her neighbor's daughter. She dressed herself with extreme simplicity, which had characterized her from (girlhood, aud which had found favor iu Albert Sloan' eyes, and betook herself upon a solitary ramble. Shehad been wont to meet Mr. Sloau wheu he was her lover, iu a large foreat not tar from her home. Upifu a rustic bench which he had built, with a Uttie gmgling brook running close by tbeir feet,, .'they spent many happy hours toge(bra'uige.fui vf evety thing lor the ttttitq .b4 themselves. -There he had learned to love him, and during liisabseuce she failed not to visit this spot every day wheu the weather was warm and pleasant. There she would sit for hour, listen ing to the' warbling of the many birds, and to the musical murmur ef the little brook, thiuking sadly of the hours that were. To this place Ella now bent her steps. She walked slowly and silently through the forest with her eyes fixed upon the 'ground. Sometimes she stepped to pluck a wild flower, or gather a few ripe blackberries, and once she broke the stillness of the old sija jow 0f a main fej acr0:!S her pathway, Sho glanced up, somewhat startled, for ne had" not an nounced his presence by speaking, but by stepping directly in the j pathway in front of her.
