still they might provide ballot-boxes, and
decide upon whom they would prefer as magistrates and
legislators. A man who was thus voted to stay at home, by an
overwhelming majority of women, even if elected by the men, would
find himself in an uncomfortable position.

Mr. CHANNING said he understood that in a town in Ohio the women
did so, and cast sixty votes.

Mr. PRYNE was glad to hear that there were practical women in
Ohio. Man is where he is because he is what he is, and when woman
gets the same elements of moral and physical power she will have
no more wrongs to complain of.

Mrs. ROSE said it was a true maxim that he who would be free,
himself must strike the blow. But woman could not, as things
were, help herself. As well might the slaveholder say that the
slave was fit for no other condition while he consents to occupy
that position. To a certain extent this is true, and the same
principles apply to both classes. But all human beings are not
martyrs; the majority accept the conditions in which they find
themselves, rather than make their lives one long struggle for
freedom. Woman must be educated to take the stand which Mr. Pryne
invites her to assume. The only object for which woman is now
reared is to be married; and is she fitted even for that; to
become a companion, an assistant, an aid, a comforter to man; and
above all, a mother? That alone; to fit a woman for that sphere;
she must possess all the extended education which would fit her
to take any position in life to which man aspires.

MARY F. LOVE said there might be hindrances in the way of woman
too great for her to surmount. Men in their straggles for liberty
have sometimes met insuperable obstacles; there have been
unsuccessful revolutions at all stages of human development.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS, in discussing the injustice to woman in the
world of work, said: Some one whispers in my ear that as teachers
women get one-fourth the pay men do, while a girl's tuition is
the same as a boy's.

The PRESIDENT observed, that the girl gets twice as much
education, being uniformly more studious and attentive.

E. A. HOPKINS, a lawyer of Rochester, spoke to the eighth
resolution, which asks fora committee to examine the whole
subject; he said: I believe if this quest
