v TEA PARTY TEACHINGS ac Wew York Women Glorify the “Mohawks” and Swing the Old-Time Tomahawk. WOMAN’S FREEDOM DAWN Logic, Justice and Precedent to Sus- tain Their Demands. KO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION, Six hundred good looking, intelligent women and about 60 average men assembied iast night in #ne Dijou theatre of the Union League @lub to commemorate the centenary of the event known as “The Boston Tea Party,” a bloodless little riot which inaugurated the Revolution in which the people of the United States won their independ- ence. Very few people, a8 a proportion of the whole population, know exactly why the Boston “Mohawks” threw overboard the cargo of tea which has thus proved so historic beyond ‘the fact that “it was because the people wouldn’t pay the tax.” But it was amply discussed last Bight and used most justly and adroitly to point the way in the peaceful revolution which the ‘Women ofAmerica threaten to aclueve ere Many more years have passed, The audience was assembled under the auspices @f the Women’s Suffrage Association of New York, of which Mrs, Clemence S, Lozier is president and Mra, Lilue Devereux Blake secretary. There was Bo buptivg displayed, no Mottoes on the walls, no decorations beyond those pertaining to the orna- mentation of the theatre, but there was a house full of people who seemed very earnest, very houghtful and very appreciative of the subject discussed. At ieast one-half of THE LADIES PRESENT were edlerly, and the other half, though young, ‘were by no means silly nor so vain as the women Who compose the majority of church congrega- ions, It was very noticeable that when a lady #utered and took her seat there was no quizzing of “what she bad on,’ as though an inventory of Clothes and styles wag being taken by every other ‘woman. Ata few minntes before eight o'clock some seven or eight Jadies came upon the stage trom one of the | ‘wings of the proscenium, among them being Mrs. Louwier, Miss Susan B. Anthony, Mrs. Blake, Mrs. Dr. Hallock, Mrs, S. E. Barlow, Mrs. Shepherd, Mrs. Tilman and one or two others, well known as adentified with the women’s movement. Mrs. LOZIER, after a few moments’ pause, rose from the table at which she bad seated herself and advanced to the front of the stage. She is a pleasant-faced, modest mannered, matronly lady, With @ soft, light voice. Her hair of steely gray ‘was worn in short ringlets, and she was attired in a dress of ashen gray silk, trimmed with the same material. Quoting the language of the circulars announcing THIS MASS MEETING OF WOMEN, whe said:—-One hundred years ago our ancestors | recipitated a rebellion by refusing to pay a tax on eu, imposed against their will, At the end of a century 20,000,000 of their daughters are suffering precisely the same wrong—taxation without rep- Tesentation—and it behooves us as their descend- ante to demand that the freedom for which our forefathers stro, to demand of right that the coming centennial o! American Independence shall find us enfranchised | or freed from taxation and responsibility to a gov- ern: Now, im looking to this end, she thought it would be well to look back and see what part women bad taken in this early movement. Mercy Otis, after wards Mrs, Warren, the sister of James Otis, was one of the foremost of the band of good women Who bad stood forward in the achievement of independence and had begun her work more than 300 years ago, for this movement, which resulted wm the Boston tea party, was inaugurated and carried on for four or five years before the incep- thon of the War o! the Revolution. The people had been for years agitating the means and measures by which they should secure their rights—secure, not create—tor God alone gave these rights and we deny that man ever gave them. It was the dmbereni right of mankind to protect life, liberty and property. of the peopie, for all good governments derive their powers from the consent of the people gov- erned. As high authority as James Madison could be quoted for this doctrine, when he satd, “It seemns unjust that & mass of the people should not have a voice in the framing of the laws which they are to obey,” and there is no right in any govern- ment to limit its application on account of sex or color. The right of representation is an inviolable right, and the ‘undamentai law of the land is based upon our guarantees of life, liberty and the pur- suit ofhappmess. Every man valued these guar- anteed conditions dearér than liie, and there was nO reason why women shouid pot enjoy these rights equally with men. A WASHINGTONIAN WOMAN'S VIEWS. Mrs. Shepherd, a tall, well poverimes lady, dressed in black, who wore a bonnet during the meeting, and who has a somewhat severe thongh intellecvual face, then read a lengthy letter from Elien M. Barnard. dated at Washington, December 16, 1873. The writer expressed tue belief that it ‘was singularly approprinte that women should meet to celebrate the Boston tea party, and thought that trifiing event was an exceedingly insignificant one to be the precursor of such great results, Women, ehe believed, wore their own fetters, and could, if they would, easily remove them. She closed by expressing the belief that whether wo- Men secure the righ's they seek is @ matter Jargely resting with themseives. Mrs. Blake, a tail, siender lady, of pleasing ad- Gress and of impetuous bearin, THE MURAT OP THE WOM MOVEMENT, always charging and never retreating, then ad- vanced to the frontof the proscenium. She wore no hat or bonnet, her jetty hair was neatly and very tastefully dressed, and she wore a black, » heavy gros grain silk, with fluted overskirt. Mrs, Biake offered the following resolutions :— Resolved, That, a8 an expression of the sentiments of the taxpaying women of New York, we reiterate, as applied to ourselves, tne declaration contained in the bill of rights put forth by our ancestors 100 years ago: Firsi—That the women of this country are entitle ai] the rights and privileges of the men of the countr: Second—That it 18 inseparably essential to the freedom of # people and the undoubted right of ali men and ‘women that no taxes imposed on them but by their own consent given in person or by their representatives. Third—That the only representatives o1 are per hosen by themselves, and that no taxes ever have or cast be constitationally imposed upon thew: but by Legislatures composea of persons so chosen. The reading of the resolution was applauded, and Mre. Blake, tossing the mauuscript back to the table, said they were assembled here to commemo- rate the great event of 100 years ago, but she did ot think they were going to let Boston absorb all tne honors of the night. New York had had some- to thing to do with that movement—(appiause)—and | ie records, to see | That great effort | she jeit proud, in looking over ow well it bad done its part, Oid Dov bave its origin ip the fact that THE TAX IMPOSED ON TEA ‘Wae unjust, but because it was imposed without he consent of the persons taxed. Nor was tea the only article so taxed; for glass, paper and painters’ colors were included. It was because the people had not been asked about It that they Fesisted it, and they succeeded in having the tax on these last named articles repealed, but the tax Ou tea remained, The English said, ‘But we send our soldiers to your country to protect you, ana ‘What is Cvough in return for your tax money,” she supposed that “wonld be the Snawer made to-day te the demana of women, that they shail not ve taxed unless they are allowed (0 participate in the framing of the laws and the expenditure of the revenues derived from them. However, King George's mer- ebant’s monopoly continued to send out their tea, and everybody knew what became of it when it reached Boston, (Applause.) But to come New York. There was i this city at that time an organise u properly KNOWD as “Sons of Liberty,” wut generally under the name of “Mohawks.” “On November 20, 3, the “Mohawks” heid a meet. Sng, at which they adopted a series of resoiutions, ach resolution concluding with these words:— “Whoever shail consent to the landing ot this te: is an enemy to the liberties of the country.” On The 16th of December, ONE HUNDRED YRARS AGO TO-NIGHT, they met again at the then City Hall, and the Mayor and General Lamb were present at the Meeting. General Lamb in a speech said that the Jea Must not be allowed to be put ashore, and tne people agreed to that proposition. The question ‘Was afterwards put, ‘hall the tea be Janded?” and the whole a blage responded three times, ‘No! no! no! ‘The tea ships were then shortl expected, but in consequence of sto and ad. Verve weather they were delayed. On the 18th of April the ship Naricy was signalled from the lower bay, ander command of Captain Lock! and was notitied by the people that she should not jand her cargo.

(Laughter,) They were here to protest against the taxation of women un- less they were accorded representation aiso, and the movement, she believed, would soon be gener- ally abroad in the land, At the close of this meet- ing they would have an opportunity of signing & protest against it, and of thus forming a league to signify their disapprobation of the tyranny and in- Justice of woman’s present status, In Rochester and San Francisco teagues had been already formed, and there were hundreds of women in the tong bi $ bee rene to pay the taxes levied ainst their property. “Wwe have ‘obe | now on the platform who has refused to pay and has not paid taxes on her prop- erty for three years past. (Appla' ) At Seneca Falis. in this State, the women bi refused to be imposed on by these unjust laws and have been in the habit of pelting the tax collectors with quota- tions from the constitution, and lately they have not been troubled, doubtless because the collectors did not relish this annual pelting, At Worcester, Mass,, the Collector had in several instances obtained judgment C erg women for the amount of taxes assessed, but thus far they have not attempted to eniorce the j nt— (applause)—so that after all it was probable that the men were better and juster than the laws, (Laug’ter.)

Blaké then said that in taki this posi- tion the women of to-day were not tal astep Jartner in advance than the people did 100 years ago, and cited many legislative authorities in support of her claim, dating back as far as the Congress of 1765 in New York, If taxatio. without representation was slavery 100 years ago, should we use any milder term for it how? There were here on this platform the grandsons and granddaughters a those who made those brave old declarations, in this audience there were daughters of the land of Lafayette, of Tell and of Hermann. She asked them, then, whether they would calmly contribute their aid to a government which refused them equal rights. She begged of them to demand with one Voice that the governmené either remove the un- i extortion or give women their absolute and herent ireedom. (Applause.) THE ‘CHAMPION —‘‘A CRIMINAL.” Susan B, Anthony was next introduced by the chairwoman as “the great champion of liberty,” and was received with very marked applause. Miss Anthony, the honest veteran, was dressed | plainty, in black; her hair was done up in the old- fashioned back-knot, and her sober, earnest face looked worn, though lacking none of the old time fervor that is ee on every feature. She said:—“My friends, stand before you to-night @ convicted criminal—(applause)—tried in the United States Court, convicted by a Su. preme Court Judge im the Circuit Court of the northern district of New York, and sentenced to pay $100 fine and costs, (Applause.) For what? For asserting my right to representation in a government, based upon the one idea of the right of every person governed to participate in that government. This is the result at the close of 100 | years of this government, that I, a native born | American citizen, am found guilty of neither lunacy nor idiocy, but of a crime (?)—a States Prison offence—simply because I exercised our right to vote, If others rose to revolution | because of a stamp duty, or a tax on tea, paper or | glass, some would perhaps advocate such @ meas- | Ure here; but I don’t propose to do so. We shall | fight it out on this line for the next 100 | years. (Applause.) Itis nothing short of great Outrage Lo attempt to govern human beings with- out their consent, and take from them their prop- | erty and dispose of it without giving them any | voice as to the manner of its disposition. So, if WHAT WAS SAID 100 YEARS AGO of the colonists was true, it is equally true to-day of our women, Luther Martin said, “Those with- | Out votes are as absolutely the slaves of those with | Votes as the negroes are their slaves.” There were, undoubtedly, 100 years ago, many who lived in quiet and plenty, who would never have risen of their own accord, and it was very likely that | there were many women in the jand who felt so inclined to-day. It 18 equally unjust toward wo- | man, whether the laws affecting her are all right | or all wrong. In any event, they are made for her without her consent or participation, and if they | are wrong she must bear the greater burden. | _ Alter quoting Benjamin Franklin on representa- | tion Miss Anthony continued—Wonld any one have thought that those men who thus talked and wrote | woud, after all, organize a government, as they did, on the blood and bones of 3,000,000 of fellow men—I mean the slaves—and exclude from par- ticipation nearly one-half the people? The United | States government had better be wise in time, for | these women, she thonght, would not much longer | submit to the tyranny of taxation without repre- | sentation. Mrs. Gage and hersell had been pretty well over the ground, and women were every- | Where awakening to the injustice of their condi- tion and refusing to pay the taxes. (Applause.) Miss Anthony then gave many incidents of | Women, with names and residences, who had re- fused to pay, one of whom had not had the assess. | ments enforced for six years past. In Rochester | a committee nad been to the assessment records nd bad copied THE LIST OP TAX PAYING WOMEN, | urging them not to submit. There were 5,000 of | them, representing property to the value of | $7,000,000, 400 of them living in the Eighth ward of that city alone, where | the speaker also resides, The women of to- day Were organized precisely as they had organ- ized 100 years ago, and eminent lawyers all over the Jand would sustain the technical legality as well as the intrinsic justice of their claims. All the | Women need is a little courage and some cash to | make the Courts themselves affirm the justice of it and accord their rights one way or the other. | History tells us that the press of 100 years ago was | with the people, but she was sorry to say that, | With few exceptions, the press of to-day was recre- | ant to this simplest princip!e of human justice and right. At the close of Miss Anthony’s address, which was very lengthy and equally logical, several let- | ters were read, among them pene one from Rey. | 0. B. Frothingham, and another from Elizabeth | Cady Stanton, expressing regret at the inability of | the writers to be present, and sympathizing with their work. THE RESOLUTIONS WERE ADOPTED and a collection taken up to defray expenses, and | notice was given that @ petition had been prepared | for signatures, memoriaiizing the Legislature or the repeal of the existing unjust laws, and that it ‘Was desirable that as many as could would sign it. | Mrs. Dr. Hallock, a very genteel, pleasant faced | lady, with a soft voice and much innocent satire | | in her tone and expression, was next introduced, | id addressed the audience briefly andin a very witty manuer. She said she must not be con- sidered as hard on the men, for she only referred to those out of doors. The fact was the ijault does not lie at their doors, for it has been tolerated for centu ries; but the men may remove the evil of which | they complained to-night. Men did not under- | Stand women altogether, although they were | always presenting theories about them in books | and ‘speeches, Some of their ideas made ner | shiver, OTHERS MADE HER BURN, An American physician had written a book on American women, in which he criticised them, | and said some were good wives, some were good | Mothers, some were goodin both capacities and | some were good in neither. (Laugnter.) It re- minded her of a poultry book where some hens were Classed as good setters and others as good layers, and soon, (Laughter.) She had seen men | With cigars in their mouths and their feet on man- | tel pieces, or making pools of tobacco Juice beside her in the street cars. She thought the best thing to do with them was to put them by them- selves ina pen. (Laughter.) She could say many things about men, but as it was now late she | would draw to a close, adding that she had | them ciassified as mates, men and gentie- men. She didn’t know that she should vote if she had a vote, but she certainly would not vote for such candidates as the last few years had produced in New York. She thought, however, that the good time and future was coming, and would en- courage women to work and wait. The meeting then adjourned, and a large number Of ladies signed the legislative petition, | THE BOSTON CELEBRATIONS. | The Tea Party in Faneuil Hall. Boston, Dec, 1¢ 1873. The centennial tea party in Faneuil & il this afternoon and evening was more numerously at- tended than its projectors had reason to antici- pate. The oldest families were fully represented | and the school children contributed vocally to the | entertainment of their elders. The style of tea service and the costumes of the ladies who served the tea were those in use in ante-revolution days. The Hon, Josiah Quincy presided and read the history of the day, as recorded by Bancroft. He | then proceeded to his duties as ‘dady of the house,”’ entertaining, with others’ assistance, the guests of the evening, and paying a warm tribute fo the women of the revolution, The Hon, Robert ©. Winthrop, President of the Massachusetts Historical Society, recalied many facts connected with the event celebrated. The gathering, he said, was not to revive animosities or bitterness, but Americans delighted to recal the events that led to their independence, looking at the same time with pride and reverence upon old England as our mother. He did not ean to glory over Le 1d act of violence as such, but sub- sequent e had magnified the importance of ar act, which was no part of the plan of the boston patriots, and which would not @ occurred but jor the persistence of the home authoritien to force the tea upon the colonists. It proved the practi- cal beginning of the movement for self-gov- ernment in America, and he verily believed that the 340 cheste of tea steeped in the salt water of Boston Bay, on the 16th of De- cember, 1773, had produced more inspiration in the cause of liberty than all the tea since imported te her, Ua ¢ctdudd, md 4 | Hoboken, on her half-past twelve o’clock trip frum ‘The scent oF the tea leaves would ever hang arouna Boston, ‘The President then alluded to the fact that Paul Revere was ten days in conveying the news that the tea wasin the water to lelphia. and in- trodaced Henry A. Brown, of that city. His story of Philadelphia’s co-operation with ton in the days of trial, when Boston rocked the Cradie of Liberty and Puiladelphia guarded the Headquarters of Independence, was_ received with hearty ap- lause, and his appeal for co-operation in the cen- Loner} celebration of American independence met @ warm response. At the suggestion of the President the following despatch was sent to Philadelphia:—“The Cradie of American Liberty sends greeting to the Hall of In- dependence, May the memories o! the past be for- ever # bond of the feture,”” The most unpopular officer in the tea party the Collector of the port of Boston, was next introduced. Judge Russell made a felicitous speech, declaring the proceedings the Dart- mouth the most irregular in customs annals, Had the Collector granted a clearance for the vessel there would have been no tea party to-day. But Boston could not claim the first shake of the fist at Great Britain. The little town o1 Pembroke, in the old Plymouth colony, @ place of about 1.000 souls, declared in public assembly two years before that unless Great Britain pursued a better course of conduct the umion between the colony and Great Britain was impossible. Could the home govern- ment have been made aware of the occurrence at the time much merriment would doubtless have been raised. Ralph Waldo Emerson read 5 is events celebrated. ir.

A demonstration at Tremont Temple this evening attracted a crowd suficient to fill the vast edifice im every part, and there were 4,000 or 5,000 who could not gain admittance. The softer sex pre. dominated, forming an array of respectable and genteel beauty seldom equalled and never excelled. ‘The exercises of commemoration were of a mixed, but nevertheless of an entertaining character. ‘The solid ieatures consisted ofa prosy introductory address by Governor Washburn, who presided, and subsequently an interesting and fitting oration by General Nathantel P. Banks. In beginning, the orator paid an eloquent tribute to the memory of the late Professor Agassiz, char- acterizing his deat’ as one of the most lamentable and important events of the present century. Coming, then, down to the occasion which had brought them together, the General drew various lessons from the characters and acts of the tea destroyers which the men and women of the pres- ent era should profit by, A poem by William F, Gill, and a medley of patri- otic and other songs, by some of Boston's chief choral professors and professionals, followed at itervals during the evening. Among the novelties of the occasion was the dls- tribution of souvenir chests of tea by some young ladies in “Ye costume of ye olden time.” ‘There was also exhibited some historical scenic paint- ings, representing the tamous Liberty tree, King street, the original Faneuil Hall, the old South church; the old Province House, Grand Dragon Tavern, Edes & Gill’s printing office, and the deck of the ship Dartmouth as she lay in Boston harbor a hundred years to-day. These exhibitions were jollowed by a@ tapleau representing the destruction of the tea, in which 60 chests of real tea were dumped down through the stage into an imaginary Atiantic.
