! If the quotation in the report of your honorable
committee is worthy of mediation and comment
Of "onc whose graphic pencil drew human nature
10 tho lfc." tina,


"Hcavcn hath no plague like love to hltred turned,
| Nor hell fury like woman scorned,'


then we have the key TO Joseph's unjust punish
mcni in Pharoah's Estate prison. And to tho
formidable power now granted her by your laws,
and to "acornod ove,' would you weigh gold or
count dollars 10 "pander" to the avarice and CT.
pldlty of "hcsh fury to bear testimony agains,
the victim Of her selection, whose crime, like tina.
of Joseph's, might be virtue. Would you not give
him an equal chance for Justice.


Can it be possible. that such discrimination as


VIZ vbI 9yidss j. iihe prayer Of yI!uogs women,
virtue lost its power! Then let her appeal TO the
laws you have already granted her, by which to Sc.
Iect her victim And would you PROSTATE him To
her feet, there to beg that it may not be Joseph!
Is there no! cause to apprehend that this fearful
power is now abused, not by the "vitruous." but
by the avarico and cupdy of the "furies of HE'LL"
and TO require the grave consideration of your
honorable body for its ameioraton? Under such
a law as the bill proposes, whore could be found
the safety of trembling man! Would she rule
supreme overhis degradation! Would your hoas
orabie body repoI man, by fear, from the smiles
of women, and in her anger place him a victim
70 her power, and cast him over to the "furies of
hell"


Arc there mono of courage to face the violent
torrent, and to repeal the taun's and rcproaches of
Jealous bgots, and to ask for equal justice for the
criminal. whether male or female, without fear,
favor, Or partaIi,y!


Let our frai sons and daughters, equal in tho
sight Of God, bo taught the benign and lasting
fruits OF vir.uea shield that will defend and repol
the most poisoned arrow-only to be obtained but
by prudence, circumspetion, and perseverance in
the path of rectitude-yes. conscious recttude!
"a conscience void of ofIence' is pearl Of great
pricc--a sonce that none can give nor take away
an ark of safety and pillar of hope. LIE, them
also be warned of the danger and peril to which
they will expose themselves on the least departure
from this benign and vital principle; for to rebel
against the convictions of light and truth is par.
taking Of forbidden fruit. and ia guilty conscience
vino can bear!' We are naked in the sight of
Omnipotence, who, "without respect of persons
judgcth according to every mans works."


Hence, your memoriast would solemnly and
firmly demonstrate against the passage of the bill,
as reported by your committee to your honorable
body. BENJAMIN ARNOLD.
