Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1850-04-27

lute rights than slave on COutneIu P'ni
tation. She takes the name OF her master,
holds nothing, owns nothing, can bring no
action In her own name; and the principleoh
which sbe and the slave is educated is the
same. The slave is taught what is consider
| ed hest for him to know--which Is nothing;
the woman Is taught whit is best for her to |
know-which is little more than nothing; 7
| man being the umpire in both cases. A
,yemnn cannot follow out the impulses Of
her own immortal mind in her sphere, any
| further than the slave can in his sphere
Civ;lly. socially, aud religiously, she is what
man chooses her to be-nothing more or less
and such is the slave. II is impossible
for us to convince man that we think and
| feel exactly as he does, that we have the
same sense of right and justice, the same
love of freedom and Independence. Some
men regard us as devils, and some ns angels
hence one class would shut us up in GER
tain sphere for fear of the evil WE might do,
and the other for fear of the evil that might
be done 10 as thus, except for the sentiment
of the thing, for all the good il does us, we
might as well be thought the one as the 9th
er. But we ourselves have to do with what
zoe are aud what zoe shall be.
2nd. Man cannot legislate for U.S. Our
statute books and all past experience teach
us this fact. Ills laws, where we are con-
cened, have been, without one exception,
| unjust, cruel, and aggressive. Having de-
MED our identity with HIMSELF he has no
data to 20 upon in Judging of our wants and
interests. IL we are alike in our mental
structure, then there is no reason why we
should not have voice in making the laws
which govern us but if we are not alike,
most certainly we must make laws for our
selves; for who else can understand what
we need and desire? If it be admitted in
this government that all men and women
are free and equal, then must we claim a
place in our Senate chambers aud Houses
of Representatives. But if after all, il be
found that even here we have classes, and
caste-not "Lords and commons" but
Lords and women--then must we claim a
lower House, where our Representatives can
watch the passage of all bills affecting our
/ own welfare or the good of our country.--
Had the women of this country had voice
in the government, think you our national
, escutcheon would have been stained with
the guilt of aggressive warfare upon such
; weak deicnceess nations as the Semnoles
I and Mexicans? Think you we should cher
Q isl and defend, in the heart of our nation,
D such a wholesale system of piracy, cruelty,
RIGHTEOUSNESS and ignorance as is our slave
y ry? Think you that relic of barbarisni, the
5 gallows, by which the wretched murderer is
!, sent with blood upon bis soul, uncaled for,
n into the presence of his God, would be siis-
: tained by law? Verify no, or i mistake wo-
y mans heart, her instructive love of justice
/, and mercy, and truth. .4.
