MR. GREELEY on FEMALE SUyFRAGE.-Mr'
Horace GREELEY, who was once supposed a
friend Of woman suffrage has written letter
to n friend in England on the subject. from
which the following is an extract -
The keynote of ny political creed is the
axiom that Governments derive their Just
powers from the consent of the governed.
| hold that this consent may be and often is,
tacitly given. but that is none the less con-
elusive on that account. | sought informa-
ton from different quarters on the main
point and all practically agreed in the con-
clusion that the women Of our State do not
choose to vote, individuals do at least three
fourths Of that sex 10 not. / accepted this
choice as decisive, just as | reported IN favor
of enfranchising the blacks because they do
wish to vote. The few may not, but the
many do and | think they should control
the decision. We shall have very hard work
to ratily any constitution that eniranchisses
the blacks. Had we extended the su frage
to women we should have been voted down
by hundreds of thousands. 1t seems but fair
to add that female suffrage seems to me to in
volve the overthrow Of the family relation as
it has hitherto existed. If the time shall
ever come when Mr.. Biggs shall be an active
member of the Democratic and Mrs Briggs Of
the Republican County Committee in one Of
our excited political contests, | suspect that
it will soon take two houses to hold them.
