WoNAy's RIGHTS Edward Everett said.
in a late public address :--'' With the
acknowledged equality Of woman in general
intellectual endowments, though tending in
either sex to an appropriate developement,
with her admitted superiority to man in tact,
sensibility, physical and moral endurance,
quickness of perception and power of accom-
mediation to circumstances, give her for two
or three generations equal advantages of men
tai culture, and the lords of creation will
have to carry more guns than they do at
present, to keep her out of the enjoyment Of
any thing which sound reasoning and fair
experiment shall show to be of her rights. "
Perhaps the best speech ever uttered on this
subject, however, was by colored woman
named Sojourner Truth, at a Convention in
Worcester, when she said - If women want
more rights. why don they take them. and
not make such a bnbun about IT, -
