NATIONAL EMIGRATION CONVENTION OF COL
ORED MEN.

The National Emigration Convention of Col
ored Men is in session in this city. Common
cling yesterday, it will adjourn tomorrow. Its
sessions are held in the Unversalist Church
on Prospect street.
The number of delegates present, male and
female number perhaps one hundred and fifty,
representing dozen or more States, besides
the Canadas. So fine body of colored men
we have never before seen assembled they
exhibit q large amount of talent, cultivation,
aud reflection. Few Conventions of whites
behave themselves more orderly or court eous-
ly, or observe parliamentary rules more exact
ly, or discuss important topics with moro abil-
ity and self possession, than the Colored Con-
vention now in session in this city. Physical
ly and phrenologically, there may be seen some
splendid specimens of manhood under a swar-
thy covering. Every shade of complexion and
form of feature has its representative, from
tho ebon to the brunette, and from the physi-
ognomy of the FULL blood African to the An
glo-Saxon features.
The President of the Convention is the Rev.
w. c. Monroe, of Dstroit, assisted by the Ri.
Rev. William Paul Quinn, of Indiana, Bishop
of the A. NJ E. Church, Mrs. Mary Bib,
widow of Henry Bib, c. Starks, of Mo, and
Rev. w. ]. Fuller, of K. |.
Secretaries-T j. Holly, N. Y; C. w.

missioners.
Sd. Report of plan of finance.
4th. Plan for the establishment of Quar-
terly Magazine.
5th. Report on the Political Destiny of the
Colored People Of America.
9th. Report on Emigration Society.
7th Resolutions and miscellaneous business.
An ably-written platform, containing thirty
eectons, was read, and adopted unanimously.
Also, q report on the Political Destiny of the
Colored Race on this Continent which was
adopted with shouts of applause.
DR.. Delany delivered highly wrought, pa
thetic, and eloquent eulogy on the merits, acts,
and memory, of Henry Bib, deceased, late
editor of the Voice of the Fugitive. 1t was su-
perior in sentiment and language to q MAORI
ty of similar productions by members Of Con-
gress, pronounced over deceased members.
The object of the Convention, as set forth
by the President, on taking the Chair, was to
consider the expediency, and devise practical
plan of emigration to Central or South Amer
lea, of the Colored People of the United States,
there to establish an independent and free
Republic of colored men, which could set an
example to the world of civilization, progress,
and selfgovernment, which would rejoice the
hearts of all philanthropists, astonish the skep-
teal, and strike dumb the defamers and OPP
pressors of the race.
Colonization to Africa was not preached.
We are surprised to learn that the objects of
the Convention meet with but little favor from
our oolored citizens.

common struggle which both of these nations,
in union with the Turks, are wsging against
the Russian Emperor.
Il is also to be observed that the English
Cabinet is suspected of insincerity, and of being
somewhat under the influence of the house of
Hapsburg, or rather of the Austrian aristocra-
CIV; while the mutual hatred that exists be-
tween the Court of Vienna and the French
Emperor, protects, altogether, the latter from
being suspected of any Austrian sympathies !;
besides which, it is well known that Louis Ma
poleon is much in favor of conducting the war
against Russia with the greatest vigor and
that on that point there has never been any
change in his views It is also supposed, upon
very good reasons, that the French Emperor
would have been altogether opposed to any
alliance with Austria, had he not hoped, By
that means, to SOW the seed of the bitterest dis
