In consequence of an uttack upon the
Hwhelors of Hellevue, by a writer in the
columns of lat week's Gazette, over the
signature of Chaucer, tho Bachelors of
this city, felt called upon to defend their
rights, and repell the slanderous charges
contained' in Chaucer's article. .A public
meeting was called, to bo held nt the
Ferguson House, on Hancock Street,
Monday evening, Sept. 2s?. At the np
pointed time, tho meeting was called to
order, nnd a Chairman nnd Secretary
were elected.
Fcr want of room, we are compelled to
omit a full rcpori of tho proceedings ui
the meeting.
A committee of fivo was appointed to
prepare suitable resolutions, and a defense
of their present condition.
I Tho following was submitted by the
committee, nnd adopted by tho meeting:
Yur.n?:.s, We, the lku-helors of Hello

by one Chaucer, in the columns of the

the fair ones of creation, and having me

charges prefered ugamst us, by him, do

money.

are, from the ga.e of the world, living in
dark bouses and back corners, trying to
cook our scanty meals in a way that they
can be safely eaten, wY do feel too much
the absence of those ballot boxes of hu
man happiness; but notwithstanding, we
do refuso to 'aue lessons of all grusshop
pers, whatever.
JleioU'M, That we are under great ob
ligniions to Chaucer, for tho ust.omsh'mg
fact, that " knives and forks go together."
Jlcsolvci, Considering ns we do, the
gravity of the subject, and its importance
to future generations, and also in behalf
of those angelic beings, who would, on a
pinch, sacrifice their own comfort, by get
ting married, that in our opinion, it will
not be safe for Chaucer to divulge his real
name in this community.
ResoIvtJ, That while we feel indebted
to Chaucer, for i original way of pop

him, that a bachelor is guilty of being no

dear to us, and go to Nebraska, where in
lime, by frugality and eobiiety, we should
be nble to lay tho foundations of homes,
that would bring honor and happiness to
ourselves, and profpenty to future gener
ations.
Although our present habits may have
10 appearance of seclusion nnd ellish-
ness, wo are ny no menns ueai 10 me

not, it is true, favored with the society of

In defense of tho bachelor fraternity,
allow us to say, we are not in that " slough
of despond," that Chaucer represeined ;
and had he more closely observed the
present t-tate of things, be would have
seen the fallacy of his reasoning. It may

cupy homes that uro made luxurious by
tho sweat of our brows? Considering
the sacrifices that wo have made, it is no
more than just that we should be treated
with common courtesy ; and not bo de
nounced because we do not see lit, at pres

in no hurry, ns we prefer to bo fully prepar

our minds with calmness and deliberation,
rather than rush headlong into a coalition
that might render life a burden, and
home a hell !
As there are, unfortunately, but few of
the fair sex in our city, we will say to
Chaucer, that if he will make an importa

possess goodness of heart, physiological
development, and intellectual superiority,
instead of the mere dolls and play-things,
who have more vanity than brains, und
more thadow than substanc. that are
