Gliding questions Of public eXpslirncy.---
Such questions nave hitherto been Geci-
ied only by the votes Of men. They
should be decided by society, which
means by men and women.
On the other hand. we may say ihat
for this purpose society means the gor-
ernIng class, that Is men. This i pre-
cisely the claim Of the absolute monarch.
lie says 10 his subjects, ''Nhethcr You
shall vote or not, is wholly a question Of
expediency. That question must be de-
cided by the governing class, that is, bv
me, | decide it to be inexpedient. and OF
course you have no rights in the matter. -
DO we accept such teachings at the pres
ent day? Suppose that ten negroes and
ten white men together had possession OF
a ship, and the ten white men, being tie
stronger, obtained control of tie whole.
w men the ten BLACK men say 10 tLtli
white brothers, awe have a. much in
terest in this snip as you have, we wish
for a voice in It's marag cement, the gen
erous white men reply, 1T is wholly Il
question of expediency. We have deci-
ded it to be inexpedient for You to have
anything to do about it" This of course
settles the justice OF the entire subject.
Suppose that twenty families settle in one
OF our western territories, like Wyoming,
and ordain that they and their descend
ants only shall vote. Soon the territory
is erected into state. In process Of
time, owing to the immigration of people

as others in the District, with a view to pre-
vailing on them to attend and give their views
OF the great question Of women suffrage. He DID

pension law as it stood was very good. Mr. b.
