Mr. BROWN. I also present a petition from certain ladies respectfully asking for an amendment of the Constitution that shall prohibit the several States from disfranchising any of their citizens on the ground of sex. In making their demand for stiffrage, they say that they wish to call the attention of Congress to the fact that they represent 15 million people 1/2 the entire population of the country intelli gent, virtuous, native born American citizens, and yet stand outside the pale of political recognition. The petitioners further state that the Constitution classes them as “free people, ” and counts them whole persons in the basis of representation; and yet they are governed without their consent, compelled to pay taxes without appeal, and punished for violations of law without choice of judge or juror. They further declare that the experience of all ages, the declarations of the fathers, the statute laws of our own day, and the fearful revolution through which we have just passed, all prove the uncertain tenure of life, liberty, and property so long as the ballot, the only weapon of self protection, is not in the hand of every citizen. Therefore, as we are now amending the Constitution, and, in harmony with advancing civilization placing new safeguards around the individual rights of 4 million emancipated slaves, the petitioners ask Congress to extend the right of suffrage to woman the only class of disfranchised citizens and thus fulfill our constitutional obligation “to guaranty to every State in the Union a RFG.” As all partial of republican principles must ever breed a complicated legislation as well as a discontented people, the petitioners further pray Congress, in order to simplify the machinery of Government and insure domestic tranquillity, to legislate hereafter for persons, citizens, tax payers, and not for class or caste.
