asn't Equal Rights. It put two million more men in position of
tyrants over two million women who had until now been the equals
of the men at their side.

Mr. BURLEIGH again essayed to speak. The confusion was so great
that he could not be heard.

Mrs. STONE appealed for order, and her first appearance caused
the most respectful silence, as did the words of every one of the
ladies who addressed the audience. Mr. Burleigh again ventured,
but with no better result, and Miss Anthony made another appeal
to the audience to hear him. He tried again to get a word in, but
was once more unsuccessful.

Mrs. LIVERMORE, after protesting against the disorderly behavior
of the audience, said a few words in advocacy of the resolutions
of Mr. Douglass, when a motion was made to lay them upon the
table, and Mr. Blackwell moved the "previous question."

Miss ANTHONY hoped that this, the first attempt at gagging
discussion, would not be countenanced. (Applause.) She made a
strong protest against this treatment of Mr. Burleigh. Sufficient
silence was obtained for that gentleman to say that he had
finished; but he was determined that they should hear the last
word. (Hisses and laughter.) He now took his seat. The motion to
lay the resolutions upon the table for discussion in the evening
was then carried, and the Association adjourned till the evening,
to meet in the large hall of the Cooper Institute. A letter from
Jules Favre, the celebrated French advocate and _litterateur_,
was read, after which addresses were delivered by Madam Anneke,
of Milwaukee (in German), and by Madame de Hericourt, of Chicago
(in French). Both of these ladies are of revolutionary
tendencies, and left their native countries because they had
rendered themselves obnoxious by a too free expression of their
political opinions.

Madam ANNEKE said--_Mrs. President_: Nearly two decades have
passed since, in answer to a call from our co-workers, I stood
before a large assembly, over which Mrs. Mott presided, to utter,
in the name of suffering and struggling womanhood, the cry of my
old Fatherland for freedom and justice. At that time my voice was
overwhelmed by the sound of sneers, scoffs, and hisses--the
eloquence of tyranny, by which every outcry of the human heart is
stifled.
