WOlncn's Rights Convention.

BosToN, Nov. 19.-There was a large
attendance at the Womcn's Rights Con.
vcntion to-day. Charles Barnard, Fred.
Douglass and others made addresses, ex.
pressivc Of sympathy with the movement
to establish suffrage for women. Resolu.
tions were presented and laid over for dis.
cussion. The following embraces their
general scope:
Resolred, That We invite the Republican
party to drop the watchworl of manhood
suffrage, and the Democratic partyto aban.
don its motto Of white mans government,
and unite on an amendment of the Consti.
tuition. extending suffrage to all men and
women as the inalicnablc birthright of every
American citizen.
Rev. b. J. Balls of Springfield, Rev. d.
a. WATSON, Lucy Stone and husband and
DR.. Blackwell made addresses. Samuel
s. Scwcll proposed preamble to the res
olutiOn, US follows: Believing in the nj
tural equality Of the sexes, that women
ought to enjoy the same legal rights and
privileges as men that so long rs women
are denied the elective franchise. they sat.
fer great wrong; the undersigned agree to
unite in an association to be called the
New England Women Suffrage Association.
The object of the Association is declared
to be to procure the right Of suffrage for
women; to cilcc. such changes in the law
as shall place women in all respects on an
equal footing with the men. Adopted.
\ full set Of officers was elected as fol-
lows: Mrs. Julia Ward Howe President;
VIM. Lloyd Garrison, Louisa Alcot, Lydia
Anderson, and J. G. Whittier are among
the Vice Presidents. VIM. Lloyd Garrison
and Senator Wilson spoke. and were warm
ly applaudcd. Senator Wilson expressed
himself in favor of negro suffrage, but did
not want that or any other question put
forward until 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 were
doubtful, it is proposed, the coming winter,
to put forward a new amendment to the
Constitution, enforcing the political dogma
that colored men had the right to vote in
every State. With twcnty-six Legislators
in our favor, and only nine against our
success, it was probable that the female
suffrage question would have clear way,
and be aided by the success Of tho other.
1t would stand a. better chance of speedy
triumph, because men would not feel the
prejudice against their own sisters, lovers,
mothers and friends rs they had against
colorcd men. Therefore, make colored
suffrage sure first, before taking another
step.
