      TRCSTEES . Loud Goderich , | a . A . Vaxsittakt , Esq . As working-men organised for tUe management and execution of our own butiiiess , we appeal with great confidence to our fellow , working men for their hearty support . We ask that support in the plain words ot plain men , without the usual shopkeeping tricks and falsehoods . We do so because we know that we offer an opportunityfor the exercise of a sound economy , but wo make our appeal more particularly because we believe that every honest artizau in soppoitingiui will feel that he is perfoiminga duty to the men of li his ciass , which to overlook or neglect , would be a treason and a s ; ci'grace . We ask for the support of working-men in the full assurance that no better value can be given for money than that which we offer— F and we desire success through that support , not solely that we may rescue ourselves from the wretchedness and slavery of tbe slop syste : n—but more particularly that our fellow-workers of all trades , 1 < encouraged by our example , may , through the profitable results oi ' seif-management , place themselves and their children beyond the rc-aeh of poverty or crime . 3 Kelyin ; , ' on the gooi faith of the people , we await patiently tha re- g suit ot this appeal .

General Perczel , who was of the principal commanders in the lost affair , is represented to be opposed to the raising of loans : Uy a decree of December 3 f > th , 1351 , Fiel-iOIarshal EadetZnV had forbidden all public conveyances to carry any printed books or pamphlets of any kind , on pain of being treated as propazAtora of clandestine publications .

( From our own Correspondent . ) 2 Jevt York , Juse 1 G . The choice of General Pierce for President , and Aufus King for President , by the Democratic Convention at Baltimore , has srsven great , and almost universal satisfaction to the Democratic p » rty . I have little doubt but that they will bo : ! i ba elected by a very considerable majority . Knowing this , I cannot help feeling grieved tiiat theywho call themselves the " Democratic Party , " are not really Democratic ; instead of being , a 3 most of them are , the upholders of slavery and other iniquitous existing " institutions . '' In my last cominuEication , Imentioned that the

      Convention iiad been silent on the subject of our foreign policy . I believe , that on this important question—really "the greatest questiou the day" tor the people of this country , no party will long ba able to keep silence , or will have the power to shirk it . Kossuth has carried the great idta of American intervention in Europe homo to the mind of every man in this country , " -who ' s heart is in the right place . " I do not admire the Kossuth doctrine of infervention in favour of non-intervention . I regard it as imperfeet , and inadequate to the requirements of the time ; but I am thankful to Kossuth for having broached the principle at all . Is is one which was sure to be greedily caught up by a people like ours , and I have no fear but that in a little time the doctrine will become perfected , and America will seo tho justice and necessity of interfering in Europe , not only to repel the attack of a foreign foe , but also to free the peoples from the bonds imposed upon them in tlielr d-ys of ignorance by internal tyrants , which bond 3 they have new no means of burstin g unaided .

      I repeat , this all-important question must be token up by any men who shall henceforth bo enlrjisted with the guidance of the afhirs of this great Republic . We seem to have , as well as the nations of the old -world a vast amount of gullibility amongst us . The priests of the Pope and the disciples of Joe Smith seem equally successful in collecting in their " meetings" crowds of the "faithful" to listen to their absurd harangues , and in collecting in their pockets the dollars of said "faithful" followers . I learn , from the "Deseret ; Xews , " that tho " General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Dav Saint 3 was held at the New Tabernacle , Great Silt T -ik * City , April 0 , President Brigham Young ! presidin g BrtlamYonngwas sustained , by the unanimous vote ' of the Conference , a 3 the President , Prophet , Seer and Revehro i of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Da / SiT il all the earth : and Heber C . Kimball and Willard Ric h ards as his counsellors and the authors of the Church "encrallr a hitherto organised , were sustained ia like mannrr "'

      It would appear from the sayings and doings at this saintly Conference , that" never before has the Lord ' s Store House been so well supplied with wheat , meat butter eggs , vegetables and other useful articles , and his nastun ' with cattle , as at tee prea nt time . " r After giviBg a flaming account of the proceedings of thn Conference , the •¦ W'adds :- " Th £ ended £ mS glorious Conference of the Saints of the wo * b hi ° h in " these the latter days . Revelation upon revelation has been poured out from time to time ; the spirit of God has rested down upon the Saints in every meeting during this Con ferenee . " °

      Absurd as may appear this melange of e ^ # and s . int < , butter , and revelations , it is quite weak en comnarfson ¦ wit h the lecture of Orestes Brownson , who " held forth " in the Broadway Tabernacle last night . The subject of tL lecture was "The incompatibility 5 f PrestantiJ wit *\ t ? berty » " You will not doubt that the " erVSodS an " nouncement that Orestes would satisfactory prove tbi " incompatibility was quite sufficient to carry me to the Taher mole to hear the very Catholic lecturer . From the notes I took , I am enabled to give you an extract or two from tbe Rev . Dadoes speech which will l-estenab . ' e vou S judge of the merits of his " arguments . ' ' After saying that the freedom of inquiry , so much boasted of by Protestants , was only the freedom of holding error , and that Catholics had no need of further inouirv £ they had already found the truth , he said . _ erin ^ y ' The danger in this country is from Radicalism .

It was from a street singer popularl y known as Zasimus , who was m the habit of turning into rvthm th * political questions ot tbe day , and retailing them in the form of a song to an admiring mob . In order to show the blessings of orthodoxy , he put , and answered , an intP resting question m tbe following elegant eoun ! et : —

This was repeated several ns h { s in succession when at length one of the night guards fired upon and wounded an Indian Finding that no more could be hoped from silent and stealth y roguery , and exasperated at the wound inflicted upon their comrade , the red men de termmed upon more decisive measures .

      "WOMAN ' S RIGHTS C 05 TEST 10 K IS AMERICA . A numerously attended Woman ' s Rights Convention was held in Ohio towards the latter end of last month . Among the speakers were Mrs . Francis D . Gage , known as Aunt Fanny , ' who presided ; Mrs . June Frohock , Mrs . Catherine Severance , and Mrs . Josephine Griffin . The following are the resolutions of the Convention : — 1 . Resolved , That in the preposition affirmed by this r . ation to be self-evidentlv true , that ' all men are created equal , ' tlieword ' jus . ' is a general term , including the whole race without distinction of ses . - ' . Ucsolvcd , That this rquaiitv of the sexes , must extent ., and does extend , to rights personal , * sccial , legal , political , industrial , : inu reli gious—inc ! udiu > r , of course , lejresentation in the government , il : e elective franchise , cboicn of occupations , and an impartial distribution of the reward i . i" effort ; and in reference to all these particulars , TVomnn l : as she same right to choose Ittr sphere of action , as Mm to choose Ms . o . Resolved , That since every human being ha 3 an individual splwre . and that is the largest ' he or she can fill , no one bas the ri ght to determine tlie sphere of another .

      proper 3 . Resolved . That the assertion of these runts for Woman equally with Man , involve the doctrine that shs , equally wit h him sluml&be protected in their excrete . , .. .. , ¦> . Utsolvi-d , That we do not believe any le .-al or political restrictit n necessary to preserve the distinctive characiev of vr-rman , and that in aemanding for women equulity of rights witluheiv fathers , husbands , brothers and sons , we neither deny that distinctive character nor wish them to avoid a « J duty , or lay side feminine delicacy which legitimately belongs to them as mothers , wives , sisters and -. laughters . C . Unsolved , That to psriect the man rise union and provide for the inevit able vicissitudes of life , the in ^ ividu ; . li ! y of both parties should be eauallv and distinctl y recognised by the parties themselves , and by tlie laws of the land ; and therefore , justice and the highest regard for the interests of siciety require that our lav-3 be Eoamrnded that married women be permitted to conduct business on their own account ; ta acquire , hold , invest , and di-pose of properly in their own separate and individual right , subject to all corresponding and appropriate obligations . 7 . llcsolved , That the clause of the Constitution of the State of Ohio wliich declares that' all men have the right of arquiiing and possessing property , ' is violated by the judicial doctrine that the labour of the wife is the prooer ty of the husband .

      S . Resolved , That in the general scantiness of compensation of woman's , the restrictions imposed by custom and public opinion upon her choice of employments , and her opportunities for eiiming money ; : md thelawssmdsicial usages which regulate the distribution of property as between men and women , have together produced a pecuniary dependence of woman up n man , widely and deeply injurious in many Tvajs , and not the least of all in toi > often pet vertices marria . qe , which should lie a holy relation growing out of spiritual :. fn : iities , into a mere bargain and sale , a means to woman of securing subsistence and ahome , and to man of obtaining a kitchen drudge or a parlour ornament . 9 . lUsolved , That saeriti and inestimable in value , as are the rights which we as » ert for woman , their possession and exercise are not the ultimate end we aim at , for rights are not ends , but only means to ends ; implying duties , and are to be demanded in order that duties may ba performed .

      10 . uesolved , Thai Goii , ia constituting woman the mother of nnnUind . inade hera living providence to produce , nourish , guard , and govern fcis best and nob" : e ? t work frnm helpless infancy to adult years ; having endowed her with faculties amply , but no more than sufficient , for the performance of her great work , he requires of her , as essentially necessary to its performance , the full development of those faculties . 11 . ltcsolved , That we do not charge wemau ' s privation of her rights on man alone for woman also has contributed to tins result ; and us both have sinned together , vrc call on both to repeat together , that the wrong done br both , may , by the united exertions of bDth , 1 ) 3 undone . Another Woman ' s Rights Convention assembled at West Chester , Pensylvania , on the 2 od ult ., and sat for two days . Among those present were Lucretia Mott ; Mrs . Frances D . Gage , of Ohio : Mrs . Catherine 1 . 11 . Xichols , Editor of the " Windlam ( Vt . ) Democrat ; " Dr . Harriet K . Hunt , of Boston ; and Mrs . Ernestine L . Rose , of Sew York .

      The following resolutions among others were adopted : — Resolved , That the present position 01 medical institutions , precluding woman from the same educational advantages with man , under pretext of delicacy , involves an acknowledgment of tUe impropriety of hU ever being her medical attendant . Resolved , That we Kill do all hi our power to sustain those wonienwho , from a conviction of duty , enter the medical profession , in their efforts to overcome the evils that have accumulated in their path , and ia attacking the strongholds of vice . Resolved , That the past actions and present indications of our medical schools should not affect us at all ; nnd notwithstanding Geneva and Cleveland Medical Colleges closed their doors after graduating one woman each , and Harvard , through the false delicacy of the students , decided it inexpedient to admit one who had bten in successful practice many years , ve would still earnestly follow vshere duty points , and leave the verdict to an enlightened public sentiment . Resolved , That the true interests of society demand that woman should be represented ia the covernment , and that her most strenuous exertions and most valuable services are to be obtained only through her participation ia its responsibilities and emoluments .

      Resolved , That if it be true , that it is woman ' s province to soothe the angry passions and calm the belligerent feelings of man , we know of no place where she would find a riper harvest awaiting her labour , than in the halls of our National and Sta'e Legislatures . Resolved , That in demanding for women that equal station aniong their brethren to which the laws of Nature and of Nature ' s God entitle them , we do not urge the claim in the spirit of an adverse policy , or with any Me * of separate advantages , or in any ap . prehension of conflicting interests between the sexes . Kesolved , That the greatest and most varied development of the human mind , an < J the widest sphere of usefulness , can be obtained onlt by the highest intellectual culture of the whole people , and that all obstructions should be removed which tend to prevent women from entering as freely as men upon the study of the physical , mental and moral sciences

      . INDIA . THE OVERLAND MAIL .

      THE WAR IN -BURMAH . Tite army at Rangoon . —Probable cession of Burmese territory . Fighting in the Hazara Coun t ry , —The Nizam ' s debt . We have received the Indian papers by the Overland Mail which left Bombay on the 22 ad of May The " Bomhay Times" thus speaks of the prospects of th 2 Burmese war : —

      <• It is now generally understood that nothing more will be attempted in Burmah till after the rains ; that , contrary to the original expectation , the whole force will remain in the country , for the most part in all likelihood on board the shipping , and that the war will be resumed with double vigour tbe moment the season permits . Amidst the apprehensions experienced of the unheaithiness of the Delta of the Irrawaddy , and the melaucholy recollections of our former losses from disease , it must he remembered that the position in which matters now stand is nearly a 3 unlike as possible to what it was in 1825 , and that it by no means follows from the mortality which then occurred that our troops in Rangoon should suffer more during the approaching raiHS than they usually do during the wet season anywhere in new or inappropriate quarters . Should it prove otherwise , and

      pestilence begin to threaten us , the fleet which bore the army to rangoon could in a few days carry it beyond the reach of malaria . Bombay will , it ia said , he called on to provide some 5 , 000 men , and our soldiers are eager for the frav . If the same determination of purpose and energy of spirit which now actaale our councils remain , there is every reason to believe that three months after the renewal of hostilities tbe war will be concluded , and a trsaty dictated by us s i gned by the Golden-Footed Monarch in his capital seceding from the Crown of Burrnah for ever an ample slice of his dominions . We have had no intelligence from the seat of war for the past fortnight , and we in reality looked for none . Admiral Austen left Calcutta on the 3 rd iost in the screw sieamer Rattler , after a sojourn of a fortnight at the capital . "

      Disturbances still continue alo ; : g the north-west frontier where warlike arrangements on an extensive scale are in pro ' gress , notwithstanding the near approach of the season when out-of-door occupations of all kinds cease . A force of hor < e and foot were under orders to march to Nowsbera on ' the 7 th of May . They were to he provided with pontoons , to enable them to cross the rivers , if necessary , or lesser streams swollen by the melting of the snows . Vwioua forts had b-en attacked or captured m the Ilazara country ; operations were still in progress , and it was hoped that they would in a week or two have closed auspiciously .

      Oar Resident has , it is said , been instructing to reason and persuade theNizam into the measure of ceding to us sufficient lerritority , from the revenues of which we may pay the entire army we have forced on him , and which is now kpt up as a guard on himself , and over which he has not the slightest control whatever . It is affirmed that within the last fifty years the British have got a sum of half a rail - lion sterling , in the shape of liquor duties , which of rieht should have gone into the Nizam ' s treasury . But India is a land of sharks , and the idiotic , like the Nizam , are likelv to be eaten up by their cleverer co-rascals
