a warm counterblast to the chivalrous essay Of
• John Stuart Mill on the Subjection of Women
. ton American edition of winch, by Xippincott
of this city, we were examining day befose
■yesterday.) 'lt is a reply adapted to,-the atmo
sphere of clubs andof dinner-tables whence the
ladles;have just withdrawn; in most-stag
parties the strictures of - the - Pall Mall will
probably be thought conclusive.]
Mr. M'ill’s small volume or,long pamphlet on
"TheSubjeetioivof ’ Women”! is intended to
prove “that the principle which regulates the
existing Sbeial relations between the two sexes
—the. legal subordination of one to the other—
is wrong in itself, and now one of the chief
hindrances to human improvement; and that
it ought to be replaced by a principle of lierfect
equality, admitting no poiwei or privilege on
Hie one side, nor disability on the other.” , The;
whole vohime is written in that tone of vehe
ment moral indignation and passionate excite
'jnent, finding vent in sustained eagerness/of
style and thought, which so much attract some
readers to Mr.MUTs writings,and so much repel
from them men of liis own way of thinking in
many respects,but disposed to take a colder view
«f bimian nature, its prospects and its capaci
ties. The following is, an outline of liis argu
ment: He begins by dealing with the perverse
presumption arising from tlip general practice.
1 lie argues that,’ though in some: eases the
generality of a practice aii'ofds a strongpre
■ sumption that it is or once was useful, this is
1 ’ true only of cases in, which the pract ice was
* first adopted or kept up as a means to laudable
ends, and; was grounded ou experience. In
1 the’case of the authority of men over women,
v ftere was, he ; says, no such ionscientious com
, ■ parison of various '.'inodes of social organiza
tion, and, therefore, its prevalence proves hotli
i.. angin favor of its utility. If, this argument is
sound, it shows that the long duration of liii
• ; man institutions is never, or hardly ever, an
■ argument in their favor, for, in all probability,
tno body Of men ever did or ever will try “va
' Tioiis modes Of social organization” by way of
ascertaining experimentally which is the best.
• The histpry of political changes is the history
of a succession of struggles by a variety of, per
sons, eacli of whom thought his own course the
best for himself and liis neighbors,
p THE I.AIV OJ? FOItCE.
Mr. Mill, however, proceeds. He thinks not
? only that there is no evidence that the principle
/ which he so passionately hates (the expression
/ is not in the least too strong) was adopted, as
the result of experience, but that there is clear
' proof that it is arnere vestige of an original
state of slavery in which women were lieUfby
men by superior muscular strength. “The
inequality of rights between men and women
' lias no other source than tlie law of the strong
• est,” which law of, the strongest “seems to tie
■ entirely abandoned as the regulating principle
:«f the world’s affairs. ; Nobody professes it,
and as regards most ofthe relations between
■ Imman beings, nobody is allowed to practise
it.” Mr. Mil then proceeds to assert that
' throughout all the earlier history of mankind
. right was founded exclusively on might, but
this principle was gradually mitigated—first, as
be says, by : the ancient republics, and after
wards by Christianity-, which, however,with all
• Its great power over human nature, “could not
make [men] renounce either of the applications
of force—force militant or force triumphant.” It
was only as force came to be more equally di
vided that it ceased, or comparativelyceased, to
be tyrannical. Kings ceased to be tyrants when
they were checked by’their subjects or by other
kings or competitors for the crown; the aristo
cracy were checked by the growth oftlie bour
geoisie, and so forth. The power of men over
. women is only one case of this general rule.
1 It is the last stronghold of tyranny, and ought
to W regarded as such and pulled down ac
cordingly.
Upon all this one observation at once sug
gests Itself, which' Mr. Mill dpes not exactly
overlook, hilt to which lie doss not give its
• ‘proper place in his speculation. Whatever lie
• ' or any One else may choose to say in denuncia
' ■ tion of the law of fores, there neither is, ever
. .wasj or ever can by any possibility beany other
. law, for law is nothing hut organized force.
t .- It is the very essence of law’ to command, but
• a command can he issued only by the stronger
'■ •' •• to the - weaker. Therefore, to denounce the
'law of force is to denounce all law as such, and
.m, to advocate the establislmieiit of ,a society)
altogether destitute of law. When this ele
mentary, and fundamental principle is forgotten,
it is the natural Consequence that the value of
past experience should be'iinderrated and its
very nature misunderstood. If Mr. Mill is right
in supposing that all law properly so called—
, that is. to say, all systematic force and restraint
Imposed by the stronger oh the weak—is tyran
nical usurpation, no doubt the genersdity and
antiquity of a custom or principle is evidence
, - not in its favor, hut against it. Tlie proposition
is startling, inasmuch as its application is enor
•’ . anousiy wide. ■lf conjugal power is presumably
tyrannical, the same may he said of parental
power. If all the. rights which 'grow out of
marriage . are mere remnants of a
: barharous law of force, wliat is to he
ssud of private propertylf marriage and pri
vate property are. to lie put on their defence
with tlie weight of a heavy presumption
against them, what are we. to say of national
existence, and international rights, resting as
they generally do more or less remotely-upon
conquest;' Mr. Mill is tlie last person who
ought to fall into this error, for lie and tlie
school of which he is the. leading member have
~ always’ taught the doctrine that rights are the
creatures of laws, and that laws are the ex
pression'of force; and if we are now to be
taught that ail rights, properly so called—that
Is to say, all legal rights—are mere organized
wrongs, and that law itself*-the very notion of
, the systematic employment of sutihrior power,
is tyranny, wc are face to lace with
tlie wildest and most sweeping revolution that,
• can possibly he suggested, a revolution so
sweeping that it is difficult even to conceive
wliat sort of institutions it would establish 01-
liow tlie ’establishment of any institutions
whatever could he consistent, with its principles.
CHIHSTIAXITV AXJ) THE KKIGX OF FOISCIi.
.One special .remark deserves attention. “The
ancient republics,” says Mr. Mill; “being mostly
grounded from the jirst upon sumo form of
: compact, or at any rate formed by a union of
persons not very imequal in strength, afforded
iri consequence the first instance of a portion of
human relations fenced found and' placed under
, tlie dominion of another laiy, than that of
force.” What is a compact but'.an agrdemCnt
enforced by law ?-• ■■ Surely the force of law in
the ancient reptiblics aS well as elsewhere,arose
simply from the superiority in strength of many
- persons acting-in combination over individuals
acting in opposition to them/ The ordinary,
law of Koine as between liOinaii auditorium,
and for that matter the ordinary law-of Eng
land as between' Englishman and Englishman,
is just as much a case of tlie law of force us
, tlie law which regulated the' relations of master
and slave in Jamaica or South Carolina. Mr.
‘jt, Mill goes on in a passage too long to extract
-. ■ to represent Christ ianity as a great antagonist of
the law of force, and he loses no opportunity of
introducing the word “ Christian’? in support of
“ bis view s,taking itas equivalent'to “good.” Sure
ly no agency ever brought to bear uponmankind
- affords so strong aniustapee oflaw established by
force as Christianity itself. Do ns you are
- told, tlnnkrisy-ou are-4o)d r or-lie damned to
• ■ bell for..Ut eternity, lias hejm the language of
, adl Christian . teachers in all ages. To do
, scribe Christianity as an antagonist or counter
' poifiC to tlie law of force is as monstrous as to
describe the radical equality of tlie sexes as a

‘dissoluble is riot Held by all' Christians, but
most assuredly it is a Ohristian theory, and it
leads as straight to the. result wliicli Mr. Mill
deprecates el'the subjection of women to men,
as his own theory of the equality of the sexes
leads to the result that marriage ought to be
dissoluble at pleasure, like other partnerships.
'r- ■
bases of- the existing “tyranny.”
Having, as he thinks, exposed the origin of
the system which he regards as iniquitous, Mr,:
Mill, in a very odd to argue
that the mere permanence, and, generality ,of
the -present ! relations of. the sexes-- proves
nothing- in its favor,because they have so strong
a hold on society that if they were wrong they
would still be able to stand. To which it may
be replied that relations which have an exceed
ingly strong hold upon society are hi all pro
bability adapted to human nature as it is, and
tliat if they are it is practicably- impossible! .to
alter them, unless you can alter human nature,
whilst the chance of altering it for the - better
is infinitesimally small- ' The following ex
tracts from this part of the work show what, In
Mr, Mill’s opinion, are the bases on which, the
present tyranny rests: — ,
“ Whatever gratification of pride , there is in the
possession of power, and whatever personal in
terest-hi its exercise, is in this > case ; not - con
fined tO'a limited class, but. common ; to the
vvhdlemale sex. Instead’pf being to most of
its supporters a thing .desirable - chiefly in the
abstract, or, like - the political ends usu
ally -contended for ; by, factions of- little
importance to any one but the leadei-s, it- comes
liome to the person - arid - hearth of every male
head of a family and of every one who looks
forward to being scri Theclodhopper.exercises
or is to exerelse his’share of the power equally
with the, highest nobleman. , And the case is
that: in -which - the desire of, power is the
strongest.” ■' , '.
In short, such is human nature that: all-men
in general, and,every mail’individually, lias the
strongest' pbrsohiil interest in maintaining the
existing state Of things. Moreover..-they have
the power’to db’so— 1
‘fThelpossessors of this power have facilities
in this case greater than many other to prevent
any upHsißg.against it. Every one of 'thesitb
jects. lives, untfcritlie, Very, eye,- and almost, it
may he said,4n4he hands .of oiie of the mas
ters—in closer intirnacy with him than -with
any of her subjects, with 1 no '-mean's ol'
combining against him, no power of everilo
cally over-mastering him.” ‘ 1
Even this is not all. Worse remains behind.
“Each 'individual of the subject-class is iria
chronic state of - bribery arid intimidation com
bined. In setting: up. the standard of resist
ance a large number of the leaders and still
more of the followers iriust make' an almost
coriiplete sacrifice of the pleasures or the
alleviations of tlieir. own individual lot. If
ever any system of privilege and enforced sub
jection had its yoke -tightly rivetted on the
necks of those who are . kept down py it, it is
tliis. ■ I have not yet shown that it is a wrong
system, buievery one who is capable of think
ing on the subject must see that even if if is, it
is likely to outlast all other forms of unjust
authority.”
.' We are- inclined to think that in this instance
Mr. Mill is right; as he lias clearly shown that
all men desire the subjection of women, that
many women do, in fact, like it, arid that be
fore matters can dle altered, the domestic peace
of every household and the personal comfort
of every member of every household must he
destroyed by “setting up the standard of re
sistance,” with the object of producing a do
mestic revolution. -.
DO WOMEN AGREE TO TIIKIIi SUBJECTION?
. Mi-. Mill .anticipates the objection that the
rule of men overwomen is not a case of force
. at all, but rests on the consent of women, and
to this lie gives ~ two answers. First lie says
that “a great number of women do not accept
it:” an assertion which he proves by a refer
ence. to what we cannot help calling the
trumpery attempts tp get up. an agitation on
the subject in this country ancl in the United
States. It is to us difficult to understand how
any one can bring such evidence to prove such
a statement. One-half of the human race, it
is alleged,’ is tyrannized overby the other. The
proof is that" a few ladies in England and
America ariiuse themselves by playing at agi
tating for women’s rights. Suppose the ques
tion was whether a negro population liked
slavery, and suppose that the evidence was that
a few negroes, who. had no other way of pass
ing their time, held meetings and made
speeches on. the subject; at the instigation of a
few crotchety white men, rather to the amuse
ment than otherwise of the vast mass of the
black population, would not most people draw
the inference that the existence of the agitation
showed the lightness of the alleged tyranny,
and that the trifling extent of the agitation
showed'its unreality ? This is an exact parallel
to the agitation for women’s rights.
In the case of blacks and whites the evi
dence that the blacks hated slavery consisted
of instances of secret conspiracy, constant local
rebellion,' and slave codes of atrocious severity
for their suppression. Where is there anything
like any part of this in tlie relation between the
sexes ? Is any union produced by law, duty,
interest or affection, comparable for- one
moment to the intimacy of tlie union between
husband awl wife? It is not merely in law
that they are one person.
Mr. Mill’s second answer is that men have
enslaved women’s minds; “Men do not want
solely (lie obedience of women; they want
their sentiments.- All men, except the most
brutish,-desire to have in the woman .most
nearly connected with them,-not a forced
.slave, but a willing one, riot a slave merely, but
a favorite. .They', have, therefore, put
everything in practice to enslave tlieir minds.”
Hence men have trained women to look upon
“tlie object, of being attractive to men” as “tlie
polar star of feminine education and formation
of character,” and by. way of illustration lie:
asks if a race of plebeians had been taught- to
look up' to tlie personal favor of a race of
patricians, and .to.:- a .'.share in tlieir
personal- affections as the . one thing de
sirable in life, “ would riot * * ,*
plebeans and patricians have - been so broadly
distinguished at. this day as irieri and women
are? And would not all, but. a thinker here
and there, have believed the distinction to be, a.
fundamental and unalterable fact iu.lntriian
nature?” Like some of MivMill’s other state
ments, t his argument and illustration bear upon
the question witli a vengeance, but they prove
too much. They prove that women as they
•are, as they have' been for ages, ami as 7 they,
have become.under all the influences of society, t
are, hi fact, and must long !ho expected to . be,
passionately attached to the existing stale of
tilings. Tlie authority of men over women, it
is alleged, is not'slavery; because the women
like it. Aye, says Mr. Mill, hut they like it be
cause tlieir whole nature, as moiddcd by tlie
events of countless centuries, leads them! o like
it; and it is possible that if tlie whole liisfory of
the sexes had been utterly different -they
-might have-felt differently,- therefore, construc
tively, they do . not, like the present
stateof tilings, and it is.a tyranny. As to- the
patrician and plebeian illustration, it is merely
a c.'ise of iftein per Ulem. ;If two races of men
-,l| ve d-together upon thelerms upon which men
and womeniibiv live, and if they were mutu
ally satisfied; why should any oue object ?
'Under flic circumstances imagined' by Mr.
~.Mill it is as certain as any such conclusion can
he that the plebeians would be as willing to
obey tlie patricians, and tlie patricians as eager
to protect the j.lebciansj as women ate to obey

THE ISOLATED FACT OF MODERN SOCIAL LAW.
The old theory was that the least possible
should be ! ieft to‘ the choice of -the individual

- practicable, be laid down for him by superior
wisdom;! left to. himsplf lie was sure to go

‘his owii discretion; and.thaf any regulation, of
them by authority', except to’ protect the rights
of others, is srire to be mischievous. * *
If this general principle of social and eeonomi
cal science is not true? if individuals* with
such help as they can derive from tlie opinion
of those who know them, arenot better judges
than the law and the Government of their own
capacities arid vocation, the world cannot too
soon abandon this principle and' return to the
old system of regulations and disabilities. But
if the principle is true, we ought to act, as if we
believed it, and not to ordain that to be born a
girl instead of a boy any more than to he bom

MALE AND FEMALE ORGANIZATIONS.
Mr. Mill concludes the introductory part of
Iris work with some remarks.9ll the.distinctive
characteristics of women, wliicfli lie.', afterwards
amplifies. The gist of what he-has to say is
contained in a few words: “The profoundest
knowledge of tlie laws of the formation of
character is indispensable, to entitle any-one to
'affinri even that there is any difference, much
more what the difference is, between tlie two
sexes considered as moral and rational beings.”
- “Conjectures are all that can at present be
made.” We will not follow -Mr. Mill through
liis observations on this subject, many of which
appear to us open to much -criticism. His
argument is, in .a few words, that we have not
yet analyzed character, and’ the eirciuristances
which lead to’ its formation, and that,', .there?
foie, we are unable to say specifically what, if
any,difference exists between-men and women.
It appears to us just as reasonable to say that,
for analogous reasons, we cannot affirm that
there is any and what difference between dogs
and wolves, Englishmen and Irishmen, Protes
tants arid Roman Catholics,;Mr.,Mill and any
other man. - No one can specify tlie exact dis
tinction between Mi-. Mill, for instance, and Sir
W. Hamilton. Yet no rational person would
neglect the difference. The truth is that it is
precisely in those cases in which scientific pre
cision lias riot been attained, and is perhaps un
attainable, that the’ distinction between those
who. have arid those who want the qualities
which we can call mother wit and common
sense is most conspicuous. It is true that we
are not able to give appropriate names to the
difference between men and women, and a
complete systematic theory of their nature and
causes; but a person who cannot see in general
what they are, and what are - the- practical' in
ferences', to he drawn from their existence, ap
peal's to us strangely deficient in qualities which
are of great importance, though they do, not
always accompany conspicuous philosophical
capacity..
SEXUAL INSTINCT.
~ There is, however, one difference between
men and women '-which Mi-. Mill overlooks,
but which may be affirmed to exist with per
fect confidence, and which lies at the root of all
other differences between them. It is simply
that men are men and that women are women,
and that each sex, as such, has attractions for
the, other, which are, amongst the strongest of
human passions.: .if these, passions have their
natural and 1 noimal course tlie result is mar
riage. Alri Mill-continually writes as if mar
ried life were a profession which some women
may choose just as-others are to choose art,
medicine; law, or what not. It never appeals
to strike him that tp speak; of tlie position ofa
wife or. mother as analogous to tliat-of-a pro-;
fesSional man is an abuse of language. No
one talks of the profession of: a father of a
family. Youmigbt as well talk of the profes--
sion' of eating one’s dinner. r One of the'
'principal objects which people have
in view in adopting professions is
to. ~ enable themselves' to support
tlie expense of living according to nature'.in'
the matter of families. One fundamental and
unalterable inequality between men and woriien
is that, whereas the’ orderly and reasonable
satisfaction of passions which in the case, of
both men and. Women more or less distinctly
awl consciously affect evei-y part of human life,:
is in normal cases essential to the happiness of '
each, its satisfaction in tlie case of men is a
strong spur to exertion in active professions,
whilst in the case of women it physically in
capacitates them from everything of the kind.
Active life, therefore, must he as abnormal in
the ease of women as it is nor
mal, in the case of men; and to re
fuse to recognize this.fact in social and
professional legislation appears to us to be pre
cisely the same absurdity as to refuse to ex
tend the suffrage to tlie working classes when
they have virtually, become a great political
po\v,er,or to ignore tlie superiority wliicli a con
quering race lias proved over those whom it
lias conquered by legislating asi” if
110 conquest bad taken place. This
supplies the\ answer to some remarks
iriadc: by Mr. Mill upon an argument 011 the
subject which lias oftcri been used in these
columns, and wliicli lie does not appear to iis :
to understand. . .“I should like,” lie says, “to
hoar-somebody-openly, enunciating tlie doc
trine (it is already implied in much tiiat is writ
ten on the subject), ‘lt is necessary that women
should marry and produce children. They will
not do so unless they are’' compelled. There-,
fore it is nCcCssary to compel them.’' The merits
of the,case would then be clearly defined,” No!
one ever said, anything so foolish. It is not
law, but passions and instincts infinitely
stronger tlian any law, wliicli compel men and
women to'-.enter'-intothose- relations which
laws fashion into marriage.
TDK PROBLEM,
The task which nature throws upon society
is to take notice of this fact, and to govern
itself accordingly, and tlie argument whicli Mr.
Mill parodies stands, in fact, somewhat as fol
lows:' i, ; -
; 1. The orderly and reasonable satisfaction of.
tlie passions arid feelings, wliicli arise both iri:
men and women from difference of sex is one
of the great objects of society, and is the ne
cessary 'condition of its perpetuation.
2.; Hence the ririrmal state for botli men and
women, by which all other relations of life
should be regulated,, is marriage. Married
men and women should be treated as the .rule,
and unmarried men and women as tlie excep
tion. ' ■ ' . ■ ! "■" ' - . ;
. ,!8; But-‘marriage implies the 1 subjection of
tlie wife to the husband. Women,,therefore;
iii tlieir nbrihol and • most honorable' condition
are subject to men. . r.. - ,
d. Therefore unmarried women ought not
to lie treated as if they were the superiors of
married women.- • y . - ! ~
Mr; Mill-"does not, we’think, dissent very
widely from this way of putting tlie case, He
weuld probably admit .that (he-whole (juestion

Washington, July; I.V-The Attorney-
General has rendered the following decision
to tbe.Sccretary of the Treasury : ~ ;, .
ATTOHNKY-GKNKHAr.’S OFFICE, WASHING
TON, July 12.— Hon. George S. Boutwett, Secretary
of. the Treasury—Bm : By your letter Of the
23th of June, 180 ii, you subinir to me the con
sideration of the eleventh section of, the act
of Congress entitled “An act to aid in the con
struction of a railroad and telegraph line from
the Missouri Bivcr to the Pacific Ocean, and
to secure to the Government the use of the
same for military, postal aiid other pur
poses, approved July 1, 1802, in which
it is provided that not more than
30,000 • of said bonds for $l,OOO each
shall be paid under this act to aid in the con
struction of the main line of said railroad and
telegraph, and request me to give you my
opinion as to what constitutes the main line of
said railroad and telegraph, indicating the
paint of ite commencement on the east, and of
its termination on the west.” I have given
the question careful consideration, and am of
the opinion that by the true eonstruction of
the statute referred to, the main line of the
Pacific Bailroad, intended in the 11th section
thereof, commences at the one hundredth
meridian, longitude west from Greenwich, and
terminates at the eastern boundary of the State
of California. Very respectfully,
E. B. Hoab; Attorney-General.

ever heard in the country. ,:A

Another Letter From -Alexander H.
Stephens.
The following letter from .Alexander H.
Stephens to a resident of this State, ono who
was a War Democrat, is published:
Liberty Hale, ckawfobdsyille, Ga.,
June 19,1809.— My Dear Siv : Your kind and
highly appreciated favor of the 10th instant
was received a few days ago, hut I have not
been able to.aoknowledge it sooner.' I am in
had condition physically. I can barely sit up.
1 can neither walk nor stand without aids of
some sort. I have been almost helpless for
more than four months. This is the result
of injuries in the liij) from? the faffing
of a gate upon me early in February last. ’ •
1 need not assure you that I read with deep
interest .the newspaper-articles inclosed-in
your letter. Though I take no active part iff
politics now, nor ever expect to again, even
if life and health should, permit, yet no one
living, -perhaps, watches. monk closely land
views with more profound interest than I do,
'the general course of public affairs.
What is said in that article is all correct as
far as it goes. : . But, my dear Sir, allow me to
say that it does not go to the bottom of the
question involved. It does not probe the ulcer
to the core. • • - '' ' '
For. my. general views upon all these mat
ters I must refer you to a letter. I addressed to
the National Intelligencer of the 4th of this
month; and publislied in that paper on the 9tli.
There caff be no cure of the disease until its;
real cause is riot only understood, butroinoved..
The cause of all these late troubles iri our land,
and of all those gross- usurpations you speak
of, is tlie departure of tlie Government from
tho primary laws of its existence. The only
practical living issue-before the .people of
this- country now, is" one. between federal
republicanism anclitffperialbuff—constitutional
• Jitierty and monarchy. ’There is no middle
ground; no half-way hoii.se between: them
The people 'imist choose between- them, and
toSte otoe ot tWa question.
TUeone
bonstltntioriaf liberty s , thtf
consolidafionaiiddespotiHin.There fcffio hope
for tliiB;cdui»try’but:iu a tliorouirli repudiation
pf the whole principles upon wliicb.tUe late
war was inaugurated anti; waged against, the
Southern States'. The very idea of maintaiu
fng a Union of- States by force is perfectly
paradoxical and absurd. ' These are my views
briefly and frankly as well as; earnestly given.
I know and feel perfectly assured that in their .
soundness and correctness lies the only hope
of constitutional liberty on this continent.
Whether the people will: be able or disposed
to understand- the tfuthamlapprecnate it 'in
time to secure themselves from impending
ruin of not Ido not know. lam exceedingly
apprehensive that they will not, but they will
go on in tlieir delusion about saving the Union
and putting •: down the.iebe'lliOiKuntil their
doom is sealed.
* For your letter I sincerely thank you.
From tlie patriotic sentiments pervading the
Article it inclosed, I know you appreciate the
dangers.,. As l?aul said to Agrippa, so say 1 to
you, “Believest tlibuin tlie jirophets; I know
that thou believest.” I know that you believe i
in the teachings of the fathers of our Itepub
lic! . Then he. it known to you that
bur. only : hope is in their teachings! The
Union is the foundation of otir safety. What,
sort of a union ? The Union. of sovereign
’States -which cannot be maintained by force,
hut liy voluntary consent secured by justice,
i . Yours, truly,
