Miss Anthony presided and there was the strongest enthusiasm, but perfect order was maintained.

The following comment was made by the New York Commercial-Advertiser: THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES .-- On Saturday evening the Broadway Tabernacle reverberated with the shrill, defiant notes of Miss Lucy Stone and her "sisters," who have thrown down the gauntlet to the male friends of temperance and declared not literally "war to the knife" but conflict with tongues....

Henceforth the women's rights ladies--including among them the misses, Lucy herself, Emily Clark, Susan B.Anthony, Antoinette Brown, some Harriets and Angelinas, Melissas and Hannahs, with a Fanny too (and more's the pity for it is a sweet name) and sundry matrons whose names are _household_ words in _newspapers_--are to be in open hostility to the regularly constituted temperance agencies, under cover of association with whom they have contrived to augment their notoriety.

The delegates at the Brick Church, who took the responsibility of knocking off these parasites, deserve the thanks of the temperance friends the Union through....

Such associations would mar any cause.
