Will the world learn that 10 Is justice and not mercy
OF which women stand IN need hrstf Did THE TRIBUNE
demand the ameOratOn OF Slavery or the emancipation
of the savel Did THE TRIBUNE demand that the slave
should protect his freeman. or that the freeman
should have the ballot whereby he should protect MN
self It ia the ballot that THE TRIBUNE knows perfectly
well would give houses, and bread, aud life TO my SEX
