at 10 o'clock, this A. M. The house was well filled
with the fairer portion Of creation and very T re-.
! house was called to order by Mrs. Robinson, and
Committee on Nominations appointed, who renorted
the following names as officers OF inc Convention
Mrs; Frances p cage, Of Mcconneisville, Presi-
Mrs. Little, Of McConnelsville, Mrs. Irish, of New
Lisbon, Mrs. Johnston, OF Philadelphia; Secretaries,
Mrs Frohock, Of Wellsville, Mrs. b. S. Jones, Of
, Salem. Miss G. Stanton, Of Salem.
A. FoLGEI, Esq of this town, offered re-
solution inviting the reporters from abroad to take
! seats in front This simple resolution was opposed
, by number of the ''woman's rights men, and Mr..
Folger withdrew the resolution.
, The convention being organized, the call of the
meeting was read, after which the President, Mrs.
Frances ID. Gage. proceeded to read ntroduc-
tory address The wrongs Of women were held up
to the gaze of the convention. Women cramped,
dependent, and they are beginning to look around,
asking one another, Sc What shall we do to be
sayed!' Such labor is given to women to perform
to allow them bu; little time to deyclope their
minds. We so weak in body and undeveopod
in mind ms to be almost useless and actually depcn-
dent beings. Suffering through our whole life from
effemnancy, our children are as eifemnate as our
selvos-women who never cooked meal ofyictuals
III their lives, or did single washing, naught
but invalids, and totally unfit to perform the
duties of mother to her offspring, and often they
drop into the grave because their mothers have not
given them vital power enough to survive. Thus
women are asking what shall we do to avert these
evils! The primitive position of women as Gle
!
folly appearing among those of sex whose
wealth places them IN position to give tone to
society. Tho whole life of woman is spent in APP
penrirg what they are not; The little child play
ing with his pretty toys, his rattle and bis haby
carriage, is to them lar attractive object
than the rosy checked, re-fcoted urchu, shout
ing and dancing with sgcc in his merry sport, and
in bis freedom + roam wheresoeyer he pIeases.
There is another class of women who are always
at work, tong from morning till nght--wearing
out whole lifetime with toll. toll nothing but tod.
Now, which Of these three classes of women itto
become the niothe Z of maniind-which have men
tai and physical energy sufficient to guide ana 20
vcrn The child from nancy-to labor years to bring
out - lis highest possible perfection, every faculty
OF that man, and make hiGi, Us near rs possible
prototype of the human soul!
Gun object. then, in meeting together, in assem-
bling ourselves ~ convention is to elevate the
races and the reform impresses thought. that it is
through reform that this elevation is to be attained
The elevation Of the race, the freedom and cducatan
ofwoman, and to give to woman the rights as
to man, is the object Of this convention.
The first public demonstration of woman's rights
that ever fell under my observation conven-
ton held ut Seneca Falls. in August, 1913 Ionged
to he a that convention, and expressed such IN
opil ion. when my friends very kindly inquired of me
