place may dictate, changing ever, as the weak and the strong, the
oppressed and the oppressor, come in conflict or change places.
Feeling that the subjects proposed for discussion are vitally
important to the interests of humanity, we unite in most
earnestly inviting every one who sincerely desires the progress
of true reform to be present at the Convention.

The meeting of a convention of men to amend the Constitution of
our (?) State, presents a most favorable opportunity for the
agitation of this subject. Women of Ohio! we call upon you to
come up to this work in womanly strength and with womanly energy.
Don't be discouraged at the prospect of difficulties. Remember
that contest with difficulty gives strength. Come and inquire if
the position you now occupy is one appointed by wisdom, and
designed to secure the best interests of the human race. Come,
and let us ascertain what bearing the circumscribed sphere of
woman has on the great political and social evils that curse and
desolate the land. Come, for this cause claims your most
invincible perseverance; come in single-heartedness, and with a
personal self-devotion that will yield everything to Right,
Truth, and Reason, but not an iota to dogmas or theoretical
opinions, no matter how time-honored, or by what precedent
established.
