Boston, Nov. 10.
There was large attendance on the
assembling of the Woman's Rights Con-
4 veution. Rev. James Freeman Clark ad-
vocated educating the sexes together
Addresses followed by Charles Barnard,
Frederick Douglas and Hon. Frank w.
Bird, expressive of sympathy in the move
ment to establish suffrage for women.
Resolutions were presented and laid
over for discussion. The following embra-
| ces the general scope:
Resolved That we invite the Republican
party to drop the watchword of manhood
suffrage, and the Democratic party to
abandon its motto of white mans Gov
ern merit and unite in an amendment to the
Constitution of the III nited States extend
ing suffrage to all men and women as the
birthright of every American citizen.
Rev. B. J. Bolles, of Springfield, Rev. D.
a. Masony Lucy Stone and her husband,
Mr.. Black, made addresses. The latter ad-
vocated forming league to obtain and use
the balance of political power to effect the
enfranchisement of women in Massachu-
setts. e z TsfLTEgEsE -EACHaH
Saul e. Sewen read aproposed Constitu-
tion and preamble, which is as follows:
Believing in the natural equality of the
two races, and that women ought to erjey
\ the same. legal rights and privileges as
men; that as long as women are denied the
elective franchise they suffer great
/ wrong, the undersigned agree to unite in
an association, to be called the New Eng
\ land Woman's Suffrage Association. The
] object OF the association is declared to be
to procure the rightof suffra ge for women,
and support such changes in laws as shall
place women in all respects on an equal le
| gal footing with men. Adopted.
She also propo,ed a list of officers, which
was unanimously elected: also an Execu-
1 tive Committee of To- S&~ Sc
| william Lloyd Garrison and Senator
4 Wilson spoke and were warmly welcomed.
Senator Wilson expressed himself strongly
| in favor OF female suffrage, but he did not
want that or any other question put for
4 ward till the Southern question was fully
settled. He had no doubt Congress would
/, authorize the colored men to vote in every
/ State, but as some good men doubted it 1t
was proposed the coming winter to put
/ forward an amendment to the Constitution
enforcjpg4the political dogma that q color
ed man has the right to vote in every
State. With twenty-six Legislatures in
our. favor to only nine against US, our sue
cess was probable. That done, the te-
male suffrage question would have a
clear way, and be aided by the success of
the other. 1t would stand better chance
OF a speedy triumph, because men could
not feel pre- JUDGED against their own
sisters, lovers, mothers and friends as they
had against the colored men heretofore.
! Make the colOred suffrage sure first before
taking another step.
