Aitsovkd, March 3d, 1837.

THE LAWS AXD WOMEN. One of the most obvious results of Christianity and consequent civilization, consists in raising females to a proper and just rank in society, giving them intelligence, and strengthening their virtue. In fine, making them the equals and companions of man, instead of his slaves, as they are kept among barbarous nations. In our opinion, every step which advances them toward the attainment of their rights in the customs or laws ef country, bears that country a step onward iu the scale of rational things. The Legislature of New York seems to be aware of this fact, and has introduced into the Assembly of that State, a bill "for the protection and preservation of the rights and property of married womcii.1" By the first section the property, both real and personal, belonging to any woman at the time of her marriage, after the passage of tho act, shall coniinue to bo vested in her the same os before her coverture; and the income of her estate shall not enure to tlie husband, during the life of the wife, without her consent. By the second section, the husband is entitled to so much of his wife's property, at her death, as by the lawsof the State she is now entitled to at the time of his demise in other words, he shall have dower.

RESPECT TO TIIE I. A I) IKS. In a late number of one of the city papers, we found the following true sentiment; "I have observed that the men who arc really fond of the seciety of ladies, who cherish for them a sincere respect, nay, reverence, arc seldom tho most popular with the sex. Men of more assurance, w hoso tongues arc lightly hung, who make words supply the place of ideas, and place compliments in the room of sentiment, are the favorites. A true respect for woman leads to respectful action toward them, and respectful is usually distant action, and this great distance is mistaken by them for neglect and want of interest." Of the truth of tho above, no one who mingles in society is ignorant and we must confess we have never felt our respect for tho female sex so diminish, as when we have seen them wasting their smiles and attention upon the unworthy.
