Beyond conception fair,
Which shone as if the foentain head
Of nature's light was there.
And there Were beings beautiful

With golden *Aloe° melting note*
O'er the hright region stole. •
As I gned on with ruptured eyes,
I saw one stealing in,
With anxious, trembling step, like him
Who has cOmmitted
No beauteous robes stiorn'd die.mem
But filthy raiment hens

And spoochless was his tongue,

the writer, will consult his Hhetoric, I opine, he
will find, no rule, therein contained which worth]
justify, or even excuse, the Want of uniferrnity be
tween the fernier and the latter clause, of ibe ques
tion.
Mark the language, ""Are the intellectual powers
of Whitian,(in the singular number) equal to those
of Men." The word woman,is used in the singular
number,whilst her intellectual superior,iPpluralizz
ed. W hat does '.Bnt'ratt•s' t mean? Does he ask,
the question, whether the intellectual powers. olio
wotiumi are equal, to those of all men? If
this be his meaning, It is presumed ho will succeed
in establishing the negative; though even this
would be prdblernatical, were all men, of his own
intellectual stature. Charity boWever,compels me
to suppose, that ho intended to ask the question,
whether the intellectual petvers of women are equal
to those of min. That there may be no mistake
on the subject,l will give you'll wornan - 8 statement
of the whole question. Ate the Intellectual Powers
of Men, Superior to those of Women?
I shall now proceed an though the ingnmentikof
your correspondent. had' been advanced, to prove
the affirmative; and shall endeavor to refute them,
oftbring at the same time, stieh arguments as may
present theinsehes to my mind,tending to establish I
the negative.
But before I consider the argument 4 of the gen
tleman, I have a word to any concerning his riot
!Milli. He says, that, the question has been more
or less discussed, oat different times, in the history
of the world—arid it has generally been decided in
the negetive, although a few distingnirhed petsens
have advocated the affirmativr,such however,were
either females themsi Ives, or such men,as adhered
to the othet sex' with that senile attachment so
Much to be regretted." Now this is certainly a
very flowing and harmonious sentence, but "Soc
rates" ought to remember, that all men are not
doomed to live with a Xantippe,which may perhaps
get:outd o for their ' , servile attachment" to our sex.
Then come die writer's tendons ref appearlng on
the stage the champion of creation's lords. Ile tells
es that "hot long since, he happened to be in cont-1
puny where the question was canvassed with con
siderable spirit, ti .e ladies of coarse throwing all
their eloqience, and arguments (if they had any)
in favor of the nflirmatites" l'he feat of giving
personal offence deterred him "from giving full
utterance to his sentiments." Unlike his prote-.:
typo of olden times he became oa little piqued, that
the company should ho deprived of sentiments
which he deemed of :midi importance." Tien
tame thu mSgnanirnous & stupendous resolve. «to
conduit them to writing & give them to the world ; "
and at the name time to Laid,7.4 - the Lolies to a iris- I
emotion of the question.
The author has very enlarged ideas, and it was
certainly benevolent id him not to deprive the'
World of each "important sentiments." But it is
presumed thiit like the unfledged hird,he considers I
that to he a toothl,which in after timee will appear ;
to be nothing morn thuds birds nest. His avers . **
to broom sticks, &c. is quite 'nature* and feat I
should freighten him off the course, I solemnly
promise to invoke, no other aid than that of my
"grey goose quill." I now proceed to tousitfer
what ..Socrates" calls his 'Argument., the Lrat of
which Is, "subordination in Creation." "This (it
is said) clearly indicates the sliver/env of the male
over the female mind." "The mind of man is an
catenation from Deity itself, uncontaminated by
any foreign adinixture itrhateirer, whirs( that of
woman, is i step further removed from the original
self." olin intermediate or rather an earthly ages-,
Cy has been called in, and added some ante doper-i
fectiotrs common to human nature." 71 is is truly
learned cud logical, and is worthy the pen of a.
.•Socratea." Will the writer be good enough to
inform es, what ointamediate or earthly agency"
was called tri by Deity in the formation of the mind
of woman. I for my part, am not aware of any
agency employed, in the formation of the ferrate
intelit.ct,winett rids not purely divine. Surely even
"Socrates" Would not ba absurd enough to contend
that the Almighty employed the rib of Adam in
the formation, the mho} of Eve. - Where then
is the earthly agency spoken of? If the Mosaic
account of the creation be correct, woman,as well ,
as man, was created after the image of the maker.
In the first Chapter of Genesis it is written,. "God
created man in bier ate& image,in the Image of God,
treated he him; male and feniate created hareem."
Why then the mind of woman is not es pare 6/1
emenation from Deity, it remains for one hero to
tell
But even admitting,what no' one Would contend
for; namely that the mind es well as the body of
woman, was formed front that of man ; it still re
mains Co ha sflown, that it was on that account,
less pure or less perfect,
I hold that it Walt not; for up to the time, of the
creation of woman, sin had nsot entered into the 1 1
world, and consequently ..the imperfections cum
mon to human nature," had out yet any esis- I
lance.
Besides did not Goilmake Atlarriiiimaeliont of
the dust, and was not tbis employing as earthly
an agency (or rather material) as that employed
in the creation of woman ? lf this argument prove
any thing, it certainly proves that woman was
made out a Piper materiel than man. He *as
formed from the rough and itnpilfe ore, just taken
from alto mine, whilst' she was formed Irons a sub
■tance that had already been pusified in the cruci
ble of Omnipotence. And if we person the
etiology between the body and the mind, which
Amt been attempted to be established, dre may
justly infer,that woman's mind is as much superior
to man's in the fineneas of its modal, and the
nicety of its structure, as Isar body notoriously is.
But it is asserted that; nFr 1t had been intended,
that the mind'of Woman should sustain en equa
lity with that of man, she would- have been crea
ted simultaneously with him." How this discos--
cry wart:mile; it is not for me to tell, the argu
ment if such it may be called has certainly the
merit of originality.
