The scene in which Rev.Mr.Hatch violated the decorum of his cloth and was coarsely offensive to such ladies present as had not lost that modest "feminine element" on which he dwelt so forcibly, is the natural result of the conduct of the women themselves who, in the first place, invited discussion about sexes, and, in the second place, so broadly defined the difference between the male and the female as to be suggestive of anything but purity to the audience.

The women of the convention have no right to complain, but for the sake of his clerical character, if no other motive influenced him, he ought not have followed so bad an example.

His speech was sound and his argument conclusive, but his form of words was not in the best taste.

The female orators were the aggressors, but to use his own language he ought not to have measured swords with a woman, especially when he regarded her ideas and expressions as bordering upon the obscene.
But all this is the natural result of woman placing herself in a false position.

As Rev.Mr.Hatch observed, if she ran with horses she must expect to be betted upon.
