ful vermont WOMEN
The advocates Of Woman Suffrage h We sent u
some of their ablest women, to say ho'l'"s
their men. to try to convince US tha' "oi"'"
ougbt to vote. That being their avowed PURPOSE
they spend one day and two evenings IN e'Ao0-
rate arguments, seeking to accomplish 'ne'r 0O-
100, vet toward the close of the last meeting
one of their speakers makes buTlesque OF the
whole ,erformance by declaring that he Will not
nre,epd to prove it, viz: that women ought to
vote since it is a self-evident truth.
In an attempt to prove that which Is sell EVIL
dent, we should naturally expect to hnd contra
dictions and absurdities; and We are not disap-
pointed It is affirmed in one speech that there
i no radical difference between man and woman
woman is the equal Of man; therefore she should
vote and again the speaker says. IS woman IS
different from man; she is the complement OF
man: therefore she should vote. " Do they ask
Us TO draw the slme conclusion from contratio-
tory premises
They tell us, over and over, that women ought
to vote because Indians, negroes and foreigners
are allowed the right; utterly ignorant, it would
seem Of the fact that the relation 81 woman TO
man i, a sun geusris relation, and All arguments
from, Indians negroes and foreigners, are irreie-
want TO the question.
