All the teachings of the American Revolution had favored the idea of human equality; and, as has been pointed out, when, with established peace after the War of 1812, women engaged in anti-slavery, temperance and allied movements, they were driven by the logic of events to demand the suffrage. In 1848, the women of the country began to organize. Mrs.
Meanwhile, his hero, the hewer of rails and forger of homely speech, Abraham Lincoln, had made a little tour eastward the year before, and had startled Cooper Union with a new logic and a new eloquence.

This was an entirely new feature in the case. Great is the power of gold. A single glance at the minister's confusion had convinced her that Johnny's accusation was true, and it was Johnny's MONEY constructively HERS that the minister was concealing. His mere possession of that gold had more effect in straightening out her loose logic than any sense of hypocrisy.
I remember the solemnity of Webster, the grace of Everett, the rhetoric of Choate; I know the eloquence that lay hid in the iron logic of Calhoun; I have melted beneath the magnetism of Sergeant S. Prentiss of Mississippi, who wielded a power few men ever had; it has been my fortune to sit at the feet of the great speakers of the English tongue on the other side of the ocean; but I think all of them together never surpassed, and no one of them ever equaled O'Connell.
The Chief halted and swept an arm in an encompassing embrace of the tent-studded plain. "We are not a nation to muster an army because now the cannon that belch forth a shower of death mow horsemen down like ripened grain. It was the dead Chief's ambition, but it is wrong." Barlow was struck with the wise logic of this tall wide-browed warrior, it was wrong.

She handles her logic admirably, and exposes her adversaries for begging the question and reasoning in a circle. Of course she enforces her assertions by citing the women who have distinguished themselves in every position of responsibility, military, political and intellectual, and only refrains from multiplying instances because of their number.

She continued to revolve the project in her own mind. "Whatever you I mean we can get out of father is to the good," she said. "He will never miss it.
He's a 'new chum; I suppose that's his excuse." "If it's a sufficient excuse, you should excuse him," said Kate, with good feminine logic. "That's just like you all over. He's good-looking, and therefore it's all right. He ought to have learned better.
