6. _Resolved_, That the monopoly of the elective franchise, and
thereby all the powers of legislative government by man, solely on the

and demoralizing in its operation, and insulting to the dignity of
human nature.

to renewed efforts, until the whole be gained.

[151] Jeannette Brown Heath, daughter of Nathan Brown, of Montgomery
County, New York. She traveled with Abby Kelly at one time as a
companion. Jeannette was a famous horsewoman; the young ladies of the
county thought themselves well off when they could purchase a steed
that she had trained for the saddle. I remember many an escapade in my
youth on a full-blooded black horse from Jeannette's equery, as I
lived in her neighborhood; she is now residing with two sons and one
daughter in Rochester, N. Y., enjoying the needed rest after such an
eventful life.--E. C. S.
