when the principle of this resolution
would prevail Shall the woman who
pays taxes Oh large amount of proper
ty not have as much right to say hoc
her money shall he expended az the
coachman who drives her carriage lie
would 90 for the resolution because he
thought it was right. If the theory OF a
republican government is right, the doc
trine of this resolution is right. 1t was
contrarv TO the doctrine of free govern
ment that the power should be vested in
a few. If woman was fit 10 educate our
children she was fit to vote, and he
thought Anna Dickinson would make as
/ good a legislator in the halls of congress
as John Morrissey. He predicted that
the day was not far distant when women
would be seen going to the ballot box in
this town.
Mr. Chadwick replied He had read
in a good book that woman was made
subject to the man; but his friend Will
lard would reverse all this and establish
a divinity of his own lie moved that
the resolution he laid on the table.
+. II. Carpenter of Waterford, thought
any action now on such II great question
was premature. One state was already
trying the experiment, and we Lad bet
ter wait and see how the plan worked
lie thought that no light would be gained
by discussion of the question here.
I Capt. +. w. Randall of Lyndon, was
glad the resolution had come up: but he
/ thought it well that we should consider
/ the practical working of it. He Thought
that woman, a. teacher Of our youth, at
the side Of the cradle. and by the lire>ide
was more potent, and her influence 50
/ pure and holy, that for one he would
not drag her down to mingle in the cor
rupt arena of politics.
This discussion of the woman suffrage
resolution was quite animated and some
of the remarks, especially those of Capt.
Randall, were received 10y the conven-
ton with considerable applause and mcr-
riment. The resolution was ordered to
lie on the table.
