If the friends of our cause in the East had been true and had done for woman what they did for the colored man, I believe both propositions would have been carried; but with a narrow policy, playing off one against the other, both were defeated.

A policy of injustice always bears its own legitimate fruit in failure.
However, women learned one important lesson--namely, that it is impossible for the best of men to understand women's feelings or the humiliation of their position.

When they asked us to be silent on our question during the War, and labor for the emancipation of the slave, we did so, and gave five years to his emancipation and enfranchisement.

To this proposition my friend, Susan B.Anthony, never consented, but was compelled to yield because no one stood with her.

I was convinced, at the time, that it was the true policy.
