DA. IRESONELL ON WOMEN'S SIIFFRA.GE.
The first attempt at the deliberate discussion
of this subject, taking it from the hands of those
"teachers of loose, disjointed thinking"—the daily
press, and the magazine writers—is from the pen
of Dr. Bushnell. The appearance of the book is
proof of the serious dimensions which the move
ment has reached: and the public on both sides
of the question must be grateful to the clear
minded, frank-spoken and gifted writer for put
ting the subject into better form for handling.
For our part, we thank the writer for showing up
the utterly unwomanly tendencies of the movement
as it is now being pressed; the attempt to obliter
ate those deep distinctions of nature without
which the charm and beauty of life are gone, and
all the religious sanctities of home are scat
tered to the winds, and an iron age, in many re
spects below the civilization of Greece and'Rome,
is in danger - of being brought in. Dr. Bushnell
confesses that he cannot look on with indifference,
or with the curiosity of a mere experimenter, far
less rush on with the zeal of a reformer jealous
to keep his place in the van of human progress.
He says : " I am never able to look down this
gulf without a shudder or a recoil." While ad
mitting that much, very much, remains to be
done for the full and necessary emancipation of
woman, he holds to the position, that " Woman
is not called or created to govern"—that of course
being involved in the right to vote. Upon this
turns a large part of the argument.
The following extracts will give the reader an
idea of the drift of the book :
" Now the right of suffrage as demanded for
women, is itself a function of government. Besides,
it contemplates also, as an integral part of the pro
posed reform, that women should be eligible to
office. For if this were not conceded, we know
perfectly beforehand, that the women voters would
so wield their balance of power as to conquer the
right of office in a very short time. All office
must, of course, be open to them, as certainly as
the polls are open. Indeed they sometimes take
the jubilant mood even now, in their anticipation
of the day, when they will have their seat in Con
grass, on the bench of justice, in the President's
cabinet, and why not in the chair of the Presi
dency itself? when the missions abroad, the col
lectorships, the marshal and police functions, will
be theirs, and finally, the heroic capabilities of
women so far discovered, as to allow them a place
in the command of fleets and armies, and full
chance given their ambition, to win, as for solid
history, what many call the mythic honors of a
Semiramis or a Deborah.
The claim put forward then is, and will be com
monly allowed to be, a claim of authority; a claim
by women to govern, or be forward in the govern
ment of men; wherein they deny, in fact, a first
distinction of their sex. The claim of a beard
would not be a more radical revolt against nature.
It says: give us force, give us the forward right,
give us authority, let us take our turn also at the
thunder.' Just contrary to this, I feel obliged to
assert the natural subordination of women. They
are put under authority by their nature itself;
and if they will not take it as their privilege to
be, if they call it insult and oppression, they set a
character on their position which no man could;
they put contempt themselves on their woman
hood. Indeed, their very claim of suffrage on the
ground of their equality with men, ignores just
what is most distinctive in their kind, and is nei
ther more nor less than a challenge of the rights
of masculinity. And the harshest thing that
can be said of their reform would be, that they
mean it as it is.
THE SINGLE EXAMPLE OF WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE
" Women's suffrage is not a fact of history, but is
rather a fact on the outside of history, waiting to
get in. We have known but a single example of
it; which continued scarcely long enough to be
any example at all. I refer of course to the brief
chapter furbished us by the State of New Jersey.
The Constitution of '76 allowed ' all inhabitants
of full age, and worth fifty pounds,' the elective
franchise. Fourteen years after, viz : in 1790, the
Legislature, in revising the statute, consented, at
the instance of a Quaker gentleman, to take off the
ambiguity some had felt as regards the meaning
of the Constitution, by inserting the words he or
she.' Seven years afterward, that is, in 1797, the
amended statute was farther amended, by insert
ing the word free.' As yet, during the space
of twenty one years, there had been no instance
of female voting, but the contest raging now be
tween the old Federal and Democratic parties,
brought up two candidates for the Council that
stood. in close balance, and the committee on one
side, just before the polls were closed for the day,
offered, quite unexpectedly, a number of female
voters—the Newark Uentinel said seventy-five—
who could not of course be rejected. Three years
later, in the Presidential canvass of 1800, when
Adams and Jefferson were the candidates, the wom
en voted almost universally throughout the State
—women of all colors—from the age of 18 upward.
Two years later, in 1802, at a contested election,
the votes of two or three colored women deter
mined the choice of a representative. This fact
excited some dissatisfaction, but nothing was done
to obtain a repeal of the law, till after another elec
tion, by which it was to be tested yet more severe
ly. The question of the county seat, that is of the
location of the court house and jail for Essex
County, was the point now in issue, and the trial
lay between Newark and Elizabethtown. The ex
citement of the contest ran high, and nothing was
omitted, right or wrong, probably, that could help
to carry the vote. The women of all colors and
ages swore to their estate of fifty pounds, and in
sistiOg on their constitutional right, would not be
excluded ; for what board of inspectors could be
rough enough to t.xclude the suffrage right of wom
en And the voting,it seems, grew livelier all

Whit ead informs us, the women

spectors, they might be able to repeat the process.'
The result was that the Legislature, at their next
session, thoroughly disgusted by the palpable
frauds of the canvass, set aside the vote by their
own act, and located the county seat themselves.
THE EFFECTS ON WOMEN
" Be this as it may, it will be a very great over
sight in us not to perceive that this introduction
of women to an active part in political affairs will
be followed by an immense change in the womanly
habit and character, and a change about equally
undesirable to both sexes. The new possibility
will at first be a triumph for women, and will seem
to be the dawn of a higher and more hopeful state;
but in the long run of time the change will be the
running down of womanhood into weakness and
contempt. The beautiful prestige now held will
be gone, her fatal want of faculty to cope with
men in public affairs will be proved, and she will
be irrevocably battered and draggled by the kind
of encounter in which she has so miserably failed.
And it will be a failure all the worse, and more
hopeless, that it will have burnt away so many
fine properties and lost her the standing she had,
by God's appointment, in her nature itself. Her
successes will be short and partial, and when the
present stock of gallantry is expended, instead of
being helped and put forward because she is a
woman, she will rather be hindered, because, being
a woman, she can be. Coming thus to the end,
where favor dies, she is neither the elect nor the
elected lady longer, and no matter what her worth
may be, it will be strange if she does not suffer a
good deal of moral damage in her collapse. •
"The active, campaigning work of political life
is certainly in quite too high a key for the delicate
organization, and the fearfully excitable suscepti
bilities of women. They have no conception now,
as they look on, of the gustiness and high tempest
their frail skiffs must encounter. The struggle is
a trial even for men, that sometimes quite over
turns their self mastery, and totally breaks down
the strength both of their principles and their
bodies. And yet if we enlarge the contest, as we
must, when we bring in women, it will be mani
fold more intense than now. Hitherto it has been
an advantage to be going into battle in our suf
frages with a full half, and that the best half mor
ally, as a corps of reserve, left behind, so that we
may fall back on this quiet element or base,
several times a day, and always at night, and re
compose our courage and settle again our mental
and moral equilibrium. Now it is proposed that
we have no reserve any longer, that we go into our
conflicts taking our women with us, all to be kept
heating in the same fire for weeks or months to
gether, without interspacings of rest, or c'oling
times of composure. We are to be as much more
excited, of course, in this new dispensation as we
can be, and the women are of course, to be as much
more excited than we, as they are more excitable.
Let no man imagine, as we see to be the way of
many, that our women are going into these en
counters to be just as -quiet, or as little moved as
now, when they stay in the rear unexcited, let
ting us come back to them often and recover our
reason. They are no more mitigators now, but
instigators rather, sweltering in the same fierce
heats and commotions, only more tempestuously
stirred than we. What we take by first hand im
pulse they take by exaggeration. And accordincr
ly, it will be seen that, where we are simply at red
heat, they are at white; that where we deprecate,
they hate; that where we touch the limits of rea
son, they touch the limits of excess; that where
we are impetuous in a cause, they are uncontrol
lable in it. We knew how as men to be moderated
in part, by self-moderation, even as ships, by their
helms, in all great storms at sea ; for the other
part, we had women kept in moderation by their
element, even as ships in harbor lie swinging by
their anchors ; but now, we get even less of help
from these than they do from us. Ido not mean
by this that women do not show as brave self
keepinc , often as men, but that going more by
b
feelino'than men, they feel every thing more in
tensely; and with more liabilities to excess. They
make more of their idols, too, than men do, raise
more false halos about them, and even have it as a
kind of virtue to bear defeat badly in their cause.
Hard pushed by adversaries, they almost certainly
count them personal enemies. It is not that some
hysterical, over-delicate women are prone to such
exaggerations of sensibility, but that, like our
southern women, or the tough city mothers of
Sparta, they too commonly allow their passions
to get heated, and call it their righteous sentiment.
To conceive our whole popular mass, both male
and female, seething, at once, in the same vortex
of party commotion—ten women taking hold of one
man to at once possess and dispossess him in their
higher key of excitement—is no pleasant thing
to contemplate. But the specially sad thing of it
is, not that men will be heated and put to a strain
and made coarse, possibly violent, but that women
will be. Men are made to be coarse after a cer
tain masculine fashion, but there is no such mas
culine fashion for women. But whether there be
or not, fifty years in such kind of training will
even transform the womanly temperament. Will
it not, as certainly and more deplorably, the
womanly face and expression ?
EFFECTS ON FAMILY TIES
" How far these heats of partisanship will go in
dissolving ultimately the bonds of delicacy and
the proprieties of good manners, it may not be easy
to say, but it is at least impossible that the moral
ities should keep their present footing. It is part
of the reform, that women are to be candidates
themselves perhaps equally with men, and so
many, with their special friends and allies, will of
course be thrown upon waves of excitement and
put to a strain of principle intensely severe. And
if men as we hear, will sell every thing at the polls
for success, it is not to be doubted that women will
show like mortal infirmities. Coming out of their
now vestal retirement to make friends and political
capital, we shall hear what kind of bargains this
or that woman is arranging, and how she manages
what is called the dirty work' of her canvass.
They must come of course to this, else how can
they get on ?
" But there is a very deep, not improbable con
nection between this matter of women's suffrage
and the family state, where it is likely to have
a dangerously demoralizing power. I have pur
posely abstained in this discussion from any par
ticular notice of the physiological subtractions
that so largely disqualify women for an active and
forward part in political affairs. I have not in
sisted on the inequalities of their temperaments,
or the incapacities to which they are subject, or
the mischief's that may come upon children through
an ante natal and post-natal nurture of two whole
years and more,
disturbed iu all that time by
states of political excitement. Passing all these,
and a hundred matters of the kind, I will simply
refer to some of the reasons we have for appre
hending a relaxation of the just bonds of marriage
and a greatly increased tendency, first to avoid
marriage, and secondly to obtain divorce. It i s
even remarkable that the very point of departure
in the women's suffrage argument reduces mar
riage to a mere partnership contract. Thus it is
denied a hundred times a day in these discussions,
that there is any more reason why the woman
should take her husband's name in marriage than
why be should take hers.' All which goes on the
principle that the two are, in every sense, equal;
that the woman is just, as much head of the man
as the man of the woman ; that he is given as truly
to be her helpmate as she to be his, and that all
the physiological distinctions we see with our eyes,
which exactly declare the Scripture doctrine over
again, are insignificant and of no account. The
two therefore come together not to be one, a total
nature, which is marriage, but to be two in equal
contract, which is partnership. Of course the
partnership contract may be terminated, as all
other contracts may, by the parties themselves. It
is no quasi sacrament, no mystic bond of God that
puts the parties in their places and parts, one to
be responsible for the forwarding and outside pro
visioning of their lot, the other to be retired and
subject inside for the comforting, and right keep
ing, and due ornament and order of life. All this
goes by under the remorseless ditto of an equality
never beheld in the world, and which, dropping
revelation out of sight, is the poorest conceivable
fiction. Is there any thing more visible than that
here are two kinds, say what we will of the equali
ties? Is there not a man and woman, and are
not the two a complete one ? And is not the man
as visibly head of that oneness as any head set
upon two shoulders was ever head of the body ?
Partnerships have no head in this way, because
the ditto principle exactly levels the parties. Mar
riage has and is to have, must have a head, and a
connecting bond that runs down through, else it
is a thing gone by.
" And here is the melancholy fact, as regards
this boasted reform, that it loosens every joint of
the family state, and is really meant to do it, as
we plainly see by many of the appeals set forth.
Thus a leading woman apostle of this reform
gives out for her declared sentiment, that true
marriage, like true religion , dwells in the sanctua
ry, of the soul, beyond ie cognizance or sanction of
state or church ;' ridicules the notion that a man's
wife is his property if once married, no matter
whether her affections are his or another's; laughs
at his indignations, ' if any one else has dared to
call out what he never could ;' and finally, as if to
stir up discontent with marriage, in a way of en
listing the discontented in her cause, exclaims—
'Oh, what a sham is the marriage we see about us,
though sanctioned in our courts, and baptized at
our altars, where cunning priests take toll for bind
ing virtue with vice, angels of grace and good
ness with devils in malice and malignity ; beauty
with deformity, joyous youth with gilded . old age
—palsied, blasted, with nothing to give its victim
in white veil and orange blossoms but a state of
luxury and sensualism.' Whether these citations
are meant to be as shocking as they certainly are,
I do not know, and it is of no great importance to
inquire. Enough to see what kind of animus
struggles in the utterance, and that marriage is
gone down forever in the argument and reform,
that are working their way by appeals so revolt
ing. Nobody can talk in this way of marriage,
who would not head a. a t rieral coming out_ ofit,
and is not ready to offer that kind of leader.
ship.
"Any one can see that a reform thus carried,
carries with it discontent with marriage, and to
just the same extent insures a legislation to facil
itate divorce. Nobody is to blame, in this kind of
causistry, for the bad marriages, but the priests
and the laws, and the woman party has a right of
course to be quit, as soon as new passions rise to
ask it, or the old ones die to make it a riddance.
Beim , perfectly equal, and put upon her egliality
with her husband for the right to vote, she must
prove her equality somehow, when she comes to
the voting and how shall she do it, but by assert
ing her independence to vote upon the other side?
Such contrary vote need not do any fatal harm, it
is true, and yet there is a loosening touch in it, so
that if some feeling of hurt has been stirred by
hot passages of debate before, or may be afterward,
there is a considerable beginning of divorce in it.
No wise scheme of polity will consentingly multi
ply such occasions of damage, in a relation at
once so sacred and so delicate."

DR. JOSEPH HAVEN'S STUDIES IN PHILOSO
PHY AND THEOLOGY is among the few books
which appeal specifically to the thinking class of
readers. They grapple earnestly and clearly
with the great problems now agitating the world
of philosophy and theology, such as the question
between a sensational and positive philosophy
represented by Mill, and spiritual philosophy
represented by Hamilton, (in which Dr. Haven
takes sides on the whole—of course—with the
the latter ;) the nature of the moral Faculty, the
Happiness Theory being rejected and Right
regarded as something ultimate; Natural Theol
ogy, the Trinity and Arianism, Miracles and Sin,
and the Place of Theology as a Science. Two
Essays of more general interest on the Province
of Imagination in Sacred Oratory and the Ideal
and the Actual, are added. The views of the
writer we believe to be sound, and judiciously
and clearly expressed, and we regard him as
worthy of the thanks of the busy age and busy

Messrs. LEYPOLDT & Hour, New York, have

Kingsley's new novel, STRETTON. We note that
the writer gives a passing complimentary notice
of "Cornell University," and speaks disparage

—Sunday should contain the theory, the
collective view of our work-day lives; and these
work-days should be the Sunday in action. Our
Sunday Books, therefore, ought to do more than
afford abstract subjects of Meditation ; they
should exercise a living power by bringing us
into direct contact with all that is true and noble
in human nature and human life, and by show
ing us the life of Christ as the central truth of
humanity. For Sunday reading, therefore, we
need not only history, but history in its relation
to Christianity; not only biography, but the
lives of men who have consciously promoted the
Christian religion—Christian heroes in art, in
science, in divinity, and in social action. The
history of Christianity, permanent and progres
sive, is also the history of civilization, and from
the growth of the latter we may be strengthened
in the faith that the former will ultimately pre
vail throughout the whole world. Books of this
kind must be powerful in the promotion of all
good,—social, political, and personal.—Lippin

HAIR VIGOR,
For Restoring Gray Hair to its natural
Vitality and Color.
A dressing which is at once agreeable,
healthy, and effectual for preserving the
hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored
to its original color with the gloss and fresh
ness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, fall
ing hair checked, and baldness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Nothing can
rest he hair where the follicles are de
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and de
yed. But such as remain can be saved
for nsemOtass by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment
it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent
the hair from turning gray or fal ing off, and consequently prevent
baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor
can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a
DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil
nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the
hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre anti a grateful perfume.
