Chicago Colored Convention.

The sombre crowd that assembled last
week in Chicago, did nothing but pass a
series Of resolutions, which display the mos,
consummate ignorance Of their own true
interests. As the Tribune says, 1--WE fear
they have committed fatal error" Here
is a sample of the resolutions
Resotoed, That We regard all schemes TO,
colonizing the Free People of color of the
United States, in Africa, or in any other
foreign lands originating in whatever mo.
tive, a. directly calculated to increase pro.
slavery prejudice, to depress our moral en-.
ergies, 10 unsettle all our plans for improve
ment, and finally to perpetuate the wickee
and horrid system Of slavery.
There are many who maintain that Air
can colonization is not the best method O
getting rid Of the evil of slavery, but this i.
the first time we remember to have heard O
any so wise as to perceive that it tended te
perpetuate slavery! If Fred. Douglass be
the author Of those resolutions, men over
rate his abilities in attributins to him intel
ligence.

Less concern appears 70 be manifested by
the people OF the T. States with regard to
a renewal of hostilities with Mexico, than is
shown in respect to a war among the Euro
pean powers. Though the former would
efft ct us more Immediately, yet the latter
indirectly would exert greater influence
upon the country.
Nothing of late changing the aspect of
matters in either quarter has been received,
so we must be content with speculation in
regard TO the form they will yet assume
The following extract We make from an ar
ticle upon the affairs of Europe in a recent
number of the Chicago Tribune, "whose
voice is for war"
ave are glad to say that the hopes Of the
friends of peace grow daily fainter. The
Emperor Of Russia has rejected the Constan-
tinople modification of the Vienna PROPOSE
ton, and has sent one army more into the
Principalities The Sultan, on the other
hand, has issued proc lamotivn ~ffufl
makes war inevitable. Yet the foreign am
bassadors at Constantinople have succeeded
in having the publication Of that proclama-
ton stopped: and the four Powers, or rather
I England and France, try to invent a formula
equally acceptable 10 the Gar and to the
| Sultan. The wiseacres of London, who
probably know as much about the matter as
any other set Of news-mongers, say that the
Powers will not succeed in their pacific in
tentions. The Turkish means of defence
are vast, and all their expenses up to this
time have been paid in cash-the Mussel,
man clergy, with liberality that cannot be
too highly praised, having furnished over
eight millions of dollars, 'and have a few
more left of the same sort" Their yoict
\ is still for war; we believe the Porte, al
Barkis was, is willin;' he has good army
and just cause, and soon we hope to hea
the clash of resounding arms. The repor
received here two DAYS ago, of battle hav
ing already been fought, Is premature. The
wish was, probably. father to the thought
1 in that case, as it is in many others

To some one making the inquiry Prentice
suggested that they put their finger in it's
mouth and try. The Democrats Of New
York are trying that thing and the result
will be the loss of the member. The De-
mocracy OF that State, il is well known, are
split irrecoverably, while the Wings are
better united than they have been for years.
They recently held State Convention,
over which Washington Hunt presided, and
at which not whisper Of discord was heard.
The ticket was nominated unanimously.
The campaign thus opened in the Empire
State will close as VIGOROUSLY for the Wing
party. AS goes New York SO goes the
Union," and from the distracted condition
Of the Democratic party in the Z. States,
with the National Administration embar-
rasscd and repudiated by those who once
befriended it, what is to prevent such con-
summation OF things, With regard to the
harmony of the Wing party in New York,
no better testimony can be given than the
concurrence Of papers directly opposite in
their afiinities. We give few examples:
The N. Y. T-ibune says:
A hearty confidence has prevailed through
out the proceedings that the Wing banner
is again to float in triumph and the govern
ment Of the State again TO be committed to
Wing hands. They think the Wing is not
defnnct party, but is freshly and vigorous
" alive Such is the spirit Of the delegates
from every county.
The N. Y. Courier {Silver Gray says:
There is no want Of vitality in the Wing
Party From all parts Of the State have
come up the good men and true-the men
who have for successive years, BY their de-
votion to the long-abiding principles of the
party, endeared themselves to the country.
1t is the common word about the city. that
at a very few conventions have there been
gathered such an array of the reliable, trus-
ty, honorable men of the party.
The N. Y. Com, (Silver Gray,o says:
We shall nevertheless claim the privilege
Of putting on record our cordial approval OF
the nominations individually They will,
we feel snre. be cordially supported BY eve
~ true Wing, that is by every member of
the party who is more concerned for the sue
cess of Wing principles than for the graft
fcation of his own predictions. Both Sec
tons of the party are represented, the SSH
yer Greys" by some of their most promi-
nent men, and those bearing no distinctive
or sectional appellation, by men who cam
not be Objectionable to any section that is
at heart really Wing.

They have a mud machine at Dubuque
which is dignitied with the name of Geo. w.
Jones. The name, we presume, doesn't set
well on the stomach Of the Democrat OF
that city, as it is great anti-Jones organ.
The following is its last cut at the "mer-
sheen"
RIvERs.-The Ohio River was falling at
last accounts, not so the Mississippi, tri-
daily rise being reported at Dubuque, ow-
ing, it is thought, 10 the exertions Of the
United States Dredge Boat, Geo. w. Jones,
which takes up three loads of mud per day
from the slough and pitches it into the Mis-
sissippi.

A, the election held last week in Jackson
county. TO determine whether the county
should subscribe TO stock in the Iowa Air
Line and North-Western Railroad Com
panies, the question was decided in the
negative by large majority. Bellevue was

the credit of county to large amount for

4 xi..i..ippi Bath Il Midnight.

The steamer Mckee in crossing the rv-
or a, this place few nights since ran over
a skiff containing two rattsmen, supposed to
have been imbbing pretty freely. The ac-
cident was discovered in time to reverse
the wheels and save the men from destruc-
ton. The skitf was demolished but both
men escaped uninjured. One of them while
struggling in the water, took it rather cool
ly-perhaps from the nature Of his situation
and reproved his companion for calling
for aid, because the boat having run into
them, il was bound to save them!

One Of our real estate Agents disposed OF
1850 acres Of land last week to NICHOLAS
McCARrr, of Indianapolis, prominent cit
izen and the recent Wing candidate for
Governor Of that State. II is his intention
to use il as stock farm and to bring on the
hes, imported breeds in the U. States. Tie
land is situated adjoining Mr.. keyser's
farm. Mr.. McCarty is now extensively en-
gagged in the stock business in Indiana and
we learn, intends transferring the majoI
part Of his stock to his farm in this county
which he will either occupy himself or let

DEATH OF YANKEE SuLLIvAS,-By pri-
vate dispatch to gentleman of this city we
learn that YANKEE SULLIVAN was killed on
"Wednesday noon, in his fight with Morrisy.
IL appears that after their attempted ares,
in New York they came to Buffa 10. and cross.
ing over TO Canada, commenced their brutal
combat OH English soil. Ninety eight
rounds were fought. Sullivan, as usual with
him, made several foul blows, upon which
his opponent warned him that unless he de-
sisted he would kill INN. The warning be-
ing disregarded, Morri-y, at the 9Sth round
struck him below the ear, instantly break
ing his neck. We make no comments -
The theme is too repuIsive to dwell upon.

The citizens Of Muscatine held Railroad

The citizens of Muscatine held Railroad
meeting on last Wednesday at which series
of resolutions was adopted, .'hailing with
joy" the intelligence that the people OF
Johnson county were willing to cooperate
with them in the construction of Railroad
through Central Iowa, and expressing their
willingness to furnish all the material aid in
their power for the construction Of such
Road TO Cedar Rapids. Are we to under
stand from this that the citizens Of Musca-
tine county abandon the proposition Of
Henry Farnam to construct their Road to
Cedar Rapids!
