...APRIL 5, 1872.
ARGUMENT
Of! ISxs. , Stanton before the Senate Jndi
ciary Committee.
Gentlcntai of the Judiciary Commit
tea YVe appear before you at this time to
call your attention to our memorial ask
ing for a "declaratory act" that shall
protect women in tho exercise of the
right of suflrage. Benjamin F. Butler,
early in the session, presented a hill in
the House to this effect that may soon,
in the order of legislation, come before
you for consideration in the Senate of
the United States. As you well know,
women are demanding their rights as
citizens to-day under the original Con
stitution, believing that its letter and
spirit, fairly Interpreted, guarantee the
blessings of liberty to every citizen under
our flag. But more especially do we
claim that our title deed to the elective
franchise is clearly given in the four
'teelith ' and fifteenth' amendments.
Therein for the first time the Constitu
tion defines the term citizen, and, in
harmony with our best lexicographers,
declares a citizen to be a person possessed
oi uie ngni to vote, in the last year
uie question ot woman's political status
has been raised from one of vague gen
eralities to one of constitutional law.
TbeWoodhull memorial, and the able
arguments sustaining it made by Mr.
Jttlddle and Mrs. Woodhull herself, and
the exhaustive minority of Messrs. But
ler and Loughridge, have been before
uie nation ior one year, and yet remain
unanswered; iu fact, the opinions of
many or our most learned Judges and
lawyers multiplying on all sides, sus
.taiu the positions taken in the "Wood
hull memorial.'' As our demands are
oasea on the same principles of constitu
tional interpretation, I will not detain
you with the re-statement of arguments
already furnished, but will present a few
facts and general principles showing the
need of some speedy act ion on this whole
question.
Gentlemen hold seats in Congress to
day by the votes of women. The local
ity of the election of Mr. Garfielde of
asmngton Territory, and Mr. Jones
of Wyoming, involves the question
whether or not their constituents are
legal voters. Ultimately this question,
involving the fundamental rights of cit
izens, must be considered In the Senate
as well as the House. Women have
voted in the general elections in several
pf the States, and if legislators chosen
by women choose Senators, their right
to their seats cannot be decided until it
is first decided whether women are legal
voters. Some speedy action on this
question is inevitable, to preserve law
and order.
In some States women have already
voted; in others they are contesting their
rights in the courts, and tho decisions of
juuges ciner as widely as tho capacities
of men to see first principles.
Judge Howe, Judge Cartter.and Judge
uiiuoinuui, uave given tueir written
opinions in favor of woman's citizenship
under tho fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments. Even the majority report
pr the Judiciary Committee, presented
by John A. Bingham, though adverse
to tho prayer of Victoria Woodhull, ad
inits tho citizenship of woman. In the
late cases of Sarah Spencer against the
Board of Registration, and Sarah K.
ebster against the superintendent of
cituiiuii, mi; juujo ueciueu mat unuer
the fourtcentli amendmont women are
eitizons.
Now, we do not ask to vote outside of
law, or in open violation of it, nor to
avail onrselves of any strained interpre
tations of constitutional provisions, but
in linrmnnv wHli flm Viu?nml PAnottt..
tion, the Declaration of Independence,
and our American theory of just govern
ment. The women of this country and a
handful of foreign citizens in Rhode Is
land, the only disfranchised classes, ask
you to-day to secure to them a republi
can form of government to protect them
against the oppression of State authori
ties, who, in violation of your amend
ments, assume the right not merely to
regulate the suflrage, but to abridge and
deny it to these two classes of citizens.
The Federal Constitution, in its four-1
teenth amendment, clearly defines, for
the first time, who are citizens:
"All persons born or naturalized iu
tho United States, and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the
United States and of the State wherein
they reside."
Xo ono denies that "all persons," in
the fourteenth amendment, is used with
out limitation of sex, or in other words,
that not men only, but women also are
citizens. Whether in theory the citi
zenship of women is generally admitted
or not, itcertalnlylsiu practice. Wom
en pre-empt land; women register ships;
women obtain nassnorts: woman mv
the penalty of their own crimes; women
pay taxes, sometimes work out the road
tax.
In some States even married women
can make contracts, sue and be sued,
and do business in their own names: in
fact, tiie old Blackstoue idea, that hus-
Dana ana wire are one, and tnat one, the
husband, received its death blow twenty
years ago, when-the States of New York
and Massachusetts passed their flrstlaws
securing to married women tho property
they iuherited in their own right.
ou may consider me presumptuous,
gentlemen, but I claim to bo a citizen of
the United States with all the qual
ifications of a voter. I can read the
Constitution, I am possessed of two hun
dred and fifty dollars, and the last time
I looked in the old family Bible I found
I was over twenty-one years of ace.
"Individual rights." "Individual con
science and Judgment," are great Amer
ican ideas, underlying our whole politi
cal and religious life. We are here to
day to ask a Congress of Republicans for
tnat crowning act that shall secure to
15,000,000 women tho right to protect
ineir jwrsons, property, ana opinions by
law. The fourteenth amendment, hav
ing told us who are citizens of the re
public, further declares that "no State
shall make or enforce any law which
shall abridge the 'privileges or immu
nities' of 'citizens' of theUnited States."
Some say that "privileges and immuni
ties" do not Include the right of suflrage.

now politicians and editors cannot aflord

Now, who Is their target? Woman.
They ridicule all alike the strong

fjHow long: think you thq-Jfevtf York
Tribune would maintain its presentscur
ilous tone if the votes of women could
make Horace Greeley Governor of Xew
York ? The editor of the Tribune knows
the value of votes, and If, honorable gen
tlemen, you will give us a "Declaratory

Then we might find out what holiuows
and cares for our real and relative value
in tno government.
Without somn ar.l of Pnn
Iating suflrage for women as well as
black men, women citizens of the United
States who, in Washington, Utah, and
Wyoming Territories, aro -voters and
jurors, and who, In the State of Kansas
vote on school ana license questions,
would be denied the exercise of their
right to vote In all the States of the Un
iouj and no naturalization papers, edtf
cation, property, real donee, or aeo could
help them. What an anomaly is this
republic! A woman who In Wyoming
enjoys all the rights, privileges, and
immunities of a eoverign, by crossing
uiu iiuu into euni3Ka, biiiks at once to
tne political degradation or a slave.
iiunuiiateu with sucu injustice, one
set of statesmen answer her appeals by
scnumg ner ior redress to the courts;
another advises her to submit her nulli
fications to the States; but we, with a
clearer intuition or the rightful power,
come to vou who thoucntfullv. con
scientiously, and understandingly passed
that amendment defining the word "cit
izen," declaring suflrage a foundation
right. Howare women ''citizens," from
Utah, Wyoming, Kansas, moving into
other States, to be protected In the rights
they have heretofore enjoyed, unless
Congress shall pass the bill presented bv
Mr. Butler, and thus give us a homo
geneous law on suflrage from Maine to
.Louisiana?
Remember, theso arc citizens of the
United States as well as tho Territories
and States wherein they reside, and
their rights as such are of primal con
sideration. One of your own amend
mcnts to the Federal Constitution, lion
orable gentlemen, says "that the right
of citizens of the United States to vote
shall not be denied or abridged by any
Mate on account 01 race, color, or pre
vious condition ofservitude." We have
women of different races and colors, as
well as men. It takes more than men
to compose peoples and races, and no one
denies that an women suner tno atsa
bllitics of a present or previous condi
tion of servitude. Clearly the State
may regulate, but cannot deny the ex
ercise of this right to any citizen.
ou did not leave the negroes to the
tender mercies of tho courts and States.
Wliv send your mothers, wives, and
daughters suppliants at the feet of the
unwashed, uniettcreu, untiunKing
masses that carry our elections in the
States? Would you compel the women
of New York to sue the Tweeds, the
Bweeneys, the Connollys, ror their In
alienable rights, or to have the scales of
justice balanced ror them in the un
steady hand of a Cardozo, a Barnard, or
a McLunn v iSay, nay; the proper tri
bunal to decide nice questions of human
rightsand constitutional Interpretations,
the political status of every citizen under
our national flag, is the Congress of the
L'nitca btates. This is vour richt and
uuiy, cieany set lortn in article J, sec
tion 5. of the Constitution, for how can
you decide tho competency and qualifi
cations of electors for members or either
House without settling tho fundamental
question on what the right of suflrage is
uaseu 7 ah powercenters in tho people.
uur cuerai constitution, as well as
that of every State, opens with tho
words, "Wc, the people." However
this phrase may have been understood
and acted on in the past, women to-day
arc awaKe to the lact tnat they consti
tute one-half the American people; that
they have the right to demand that the
Constitution snail secure to them "jus
tice," "domestic tranquility," and the
"blessings of liberty." So long as wom
en are not represented in the Govern
ment they arc in a condition of tutelage,
perpetual minority, slavery.
1 ou smile at the idea of women being
slaves iu this country. Ben Franklin
said long ago, that they who have no
voice in making the laws, or In the elec
tion or those who administer them, do
not enjoy liberty, but are absolutely en
slaved to those who have votes and to
their representatives. I might occupy
hours in quoting grand liberal senti
ments rrom the rathcrs Madison, Jef
ferson, Otis, and Adams in favor of in
dividual representation. I migiit quote
equally noble words from the statesmen
or our day Seward, Sumner, Wade,
Trumbull, Schurz,Thurman, Groesbcck,
and Julian to prove "that no just gov
ernment can be formed without tho con
sent of the governed;" that the ballot Is
the Columbiad of our political life, and
every man who holds it is a full-armed
Monitor. But what do lofty utterances
and logical arguments avail . so long as
men, blinded by old prejudices and cus
toms, fail to see their application to tho
women by their side? Alas! gentle
men, women are vour subiects. Your
own selllsh interests are too closely In
terwoven for you to feel their decrada-
tion, and they are too dependent to re
veal themselves to you in their nobler
aspirations, their native dignity. Did
Southern slaveholders ever understand
the humiliation of slavery to a proud
man liko Fredrick Douglas? Did tho
coarse, low-bred master ever doubt his
capacity to govern the negro better than
he could covern himself? Docow-bovs.
hostlers, pot-house politiclanseverdoubt
their capacity to prescribe woman's
sphere better than she could herself?
We have yet to learn that, with the
wonderful progress in art. science, edu
cation, morals, religion, and government
wc nave witnessed m the last century,
woman has uot been standing still, but
lias been grauuany advancing to an
equal place with the man by her side,
and stands to-day his peer in the world
of thought.
American womanhood has never worn
iron shoes, burned on the funeral pile, or
skulked behind a mask in a harem, yet,
though czadled in liberty, witli thesame
keen sense of justice and equality tliat
man has, she is still bound by law in the
swaddlmsr nanus ot an oiu uaruarism
Thourii the world has been steadily ad-
vancing m political science, auu step oy
reoopiiizincr the richts of new classes.
. . . . . . . . i . i ,
yet we stand to-day talking of prece
dents, autnornies, laws, aim constitu
tions, as if each generation were not
better able to judge of its wants than the
one that preceded it If we are to be
governed in all tilings by the men of the
eighteenth century, anu tne tweiiueui
by the nineteenth, anu so on, tno worm
will bealwavs coverned by dead men.
The exercise of political power by wom
en is by no means a new idea, it uas
already been exercised in manv coun
tries, and under governments fur less
liberal in theory than our own. ' As to
oemg an innovation on the laws or
uaiure, we may safely trust nature at all
times to vindicate herself. In England,
w here the right to vote is based on prop
f2i.aintd n.ot I1-80", the femme tote
JnW d5r Vas exe,reised her right all
rVnni- Ir Iier,,rlle8t istory we find
records of decisions In courts of her
right to do so, and discussions on that
point by able lawyers and fudges. Tim
femme sole voted in person; when mar
ried, ner husband represented her pron.
erty, and .voted iu hersteadr and tho
moment the breath went out of his
body, she assumed again the burden of
dlsposiug or her own. income ana the
onerous duty oi representing ucrseit in
the Government. Thus England is al
ways consistent; property being the
basis of suflrage, is always represented.
Here suflrage Is uaseu upon -persons,
and yet one-half our people aro wholl,
unrenresented.
Wo have declared In favor of a gov
eminent of the people, for the people, by
the people, tho whole people. Why not
begin the experiment? ir suiirage is a
natural right, wo claim it iu common
witli all citizens: if it Is a political right,
that tho few In power may give or take
away, then it is clearly the duty of the
ruling powers to extend it iu all cases as
the best interests of the State require.
No thinking man would admit that
educated, refined womanhood would not
constitute a more desirable element and
better represent the whole humanitarian

The oblectiona to Mr. Butler's bill, ex
tending the provisions of the enforce
ment act to women, all summed up, aro
these : 1st This is too short a cut to
liberty. It is taking tiie nation by
storm. The people are not ready ror It.
The slower process of a sixteenth
amendment would be safer, surer, and
do more toward educating the people for
tne unai result. To all or winch 1
answer, the women at least are ready
and as well prepared for enfranchise
ment as were the slaves of the Southern
plantation. There could have been no
plan devised to educate the people so
rapidly as the startling announcement
in the woodhull memorial that women
already had tho right to vote. It has
roused wise men to thoucht ou the
question, stirred the bar and bench of
the nation, with the prospect of a new
and fruitful source of litigation, it has
inspired woman with fresh hope that
the day of her enfranchisement is at
hand, given the press of tho country
souu arguments ior tueir consideration
and changed the tone of the speeches it

This fiuestion has been un for discus

and it is high time it took a short cut to
Its final consummation. There have been
many shorter cuts to liberty than this is
likely to be, even with adeclaratory act at
