I do not believe that any person who jatall acquainted with the principles of "the government will dispute that a woman is a citizen. . Not only is she a citizen, but every woman who becomes thewife of a citizen becomes by virtue thereof, according to the laws of the United States; a citizen herself. So women have in one respect a little advantage of the men. . No mattelThow long she has resided here, if she marries a citizen she becomes a citizen. But although a Woman is called a. citizen, and i3 expected to perform the duties of a citizen as far-ashe can and is subject to the law, still she is deprived of any voice in" the government. She has no right to vote for an officer of the . s government unless, it may be, in gome localities they are permitted to vote tor school boards; and in one or two places for municipal ' officers.
