have understood, that in the system of gov
crnmcnt proposed by Robert Owen, the females
arc allowed the same privileges and immunities
and are as active in the exercise and operations
of Legislation as the men, would freely give
all females as great liberty as the men enjoy, #
/ were convinced that it would not tchd to the
destruction Of many virtues, and tho negligence of
many duties by which they now stand beautfed
and beloved. conceive that the time required
and the emotions and anxieties excited in the
performance Of Legislative duties viii much en-
crouch upon those hours which demand 4 sis


ters, wife's or i mothers Attendance; and
that while they will be toiling for the common
wealth and gaining a political name, the concerns
of home will speak them character the most
dcrorotory | will not enter into the much dis
puted point on the equality OF talent between
males and females, but conceive that it is cx-
peiient that women should be left to the manage
ment of domestic concerns, for it is there they
appear most serviceable, most lovely. Who
would not rather sec sister, wife or mo-
ther at home eyincing modest unassnm!ng del
icacy and teaching her family both by pre-
cept and example the force and benefit ofgood
nature and industry, than TO see her standing in
the house Of Legislation, supported bya mas
culine confidence, aeclaming in stentoran notes

tentiye crowdl A woman may become cclebrat-
ed as 4 politician, but she purchases her fame at
the expense of her female dclicacy. Madame
De Stael was woman who plunged into the po-
litical storms which convulscd her nation, and
there, like an amazon, almost scared her right
breast to make room for the muscular hand viii cl,
drew the bow-string. Hannah Moore was wo


man who cultivated the domestic virtues who
manifested her talents and circulated her labors
in the spirit of true female dclicacy Who Of


these two can claim the higher grade in the ic


male character; She who with manniM de


pertinent mounted q was going to say got astrde
of the political courser and dashed friously on
her career, or she who shrunk from the gaze o
the public with modest amiability, and incul


Gated and practiscd the most exemplary meek


ness and picty' They were both great women,
but whose character is most lovely Doubtlcs,
! Hannah Moorc's. Where's the difference Why
one sustained the female character, while the o


thcr forced herself into the pursuits which ex


clusvely belong to man. So | fear it will be il
the Owen settlements Women will neglect Tho
things which cndear them to man, and grasp a


liberties, the exercise of which will render then
