Vermont Chronicle
Ia the exercise of his fault-fnding
propensity, the editor of this paper, in
humble imitation of Mr.. Bennett, of the
New York Herald, tries hard TO alarm
himself and readers in view of the recent
proceedings at the anti-savery anniversary
On the rights and privileges of female
members of the society. The Chronicle
has learned that after a full discussion,
the American Anti-Slavery Society has
decided that women are persons and
are therefore entitled. on compliance with
the terms of the constitution, to the priv
ileges of members! The Chronicle will
have it, that this vote smacks of Garri-
sonisun outright, and we are told that sit
is now undeniable that the society does
go with Mr.. Garrison" Yea, more:-
ITO join it, or countenance it, is to enlist
in the service of his pernicious heresies;
to sanction his war upon the ministry,
upon the churches, and upon civil. gov
ernment.'
A bare statement of facts will suffice to
demolish this man of straw thus hastily
constructed by the Chronicle. The cues
ton of admitting women at the late meet
ing was brought forward, discussed and
decided as one of constitutional right,
and not in reference to MIR. yGarrson's
views on the equality of the sexes, This
was expressly stated by Mr.. Leavitt, Mr..
Stewart and others who voted with the
majority. Art. 4, of the constitution pro-
yides that "any PERSON who consents to
the principles of this constitution. who
contributes to the funds of this society,
and is not Shareholder, may be mem
Der Of this. society, and shall be entitled
| to vote at Its meetings" Many members
ofthe society Yourself among the number)
were not sufficiently skilled in hair-split-
ting to understand how individuals pur-
porting to be fpersons,' whether of the
masculine or feminine gender, could be
excluded on the ground Of their SEX
| Another article of the constitution is still
more explicit, and settles the question ir
advance. by providing that soficers o
auxiliary societies, shall be, er o6Scio
members Of the parent society," Now i
so happened that goodly number of thu
women, appearing as delegates, were o
