Woman's Rights Again.--A meeting
was held in Boston on Thursday. Mrs
Paulina Wright Davis, of Providence, in
the chair, for the purpose of considering
the propriety of calling a "Woman's
Rights Convention,'' to be held some
time during the coming year.
One Miss Lucy Stone advocated the
right of suffrage being extended to women,
and contended that their rights
were human rights. The lady was decidedly
in favor of immediate action.
William Lloyd Garrison took the same
ground, and wished that he could see
one half of the members of Congress, and
one half of the members of our Legislature,
women. Men behaved and talked
ten times more decently before women,
and so he had no doubt women did before
men. (A gallant hiss from the young
men at the last sentiment, as champions
of female propriety.) A committee
of seven females were appointed to make
arrangements for the coming convention.
