an inferior
caste, how can a jury of men thus avowedly superior, be regarded
as peers and equals of any woman whom they are summoned to try?

"4. Would the editor of _The Register_ consider himself justly
treated if he would some day find himself governed by women,
without his consent, taxed by women without power of voting for

_Knickerbocker_, Albany, March 8, 1854: GOING IT BLIND.--The
editor of _The State Register_ is going it blind on woman's

Before _The Register_ again attacks the reforms proposed by the
Woman's Rights Conventions, it should become acquainted with
them. "Going it blind," not only exposes one's prejudices, but
ignorance. Many of the innovations proposed by Mrs. Stanton are

those improvements which she would have made in the rights of
property and the care of children. There are other propo
