! THIRD AND LAST DAY.
At halfpast o'clock yesterday morning, Green.
wood Hall was filed with the members and friends
Of tho anti.slavery convention. Tho larger pro-
portion OF those present were Of course Cincinnati
ians but there were also many visitors from Illinois,
Indiana and Kentucky, and ono, a wealthy slave
holder, from louisiana The fair sex were well
represented, and so was the press but we missed
from the table first the beaming countenance Of
the fair Secretary, Miss Sarah Pellet; and, see
ondly, that handsome bouquet the fragrance OF

The meeting having been called to order, Prayer
was offered up by the Rev. A. A. Liyermorc; after
which, letter from Mr.. William II. Day. 1.-THE re-
porter who was expelled from the Ohio Senate on
account Of his Color.) to Mrs. Sarah o. Ernst was
read Miss Lucy Stone referred to it and the wri-
ter, narrated hi history, cuogized his character
said he was he schoolmate, and she was happy to
call him her friend
She suggested that resolution ought to be sent
out from this Convention, condcmnatory Of the ex.
clusion of Mr.. Day by the Senatcof Ohio from the
reporters gallery, singy on the ground of his
color. She said, this unhoy prejudice exists every
where, and everywhere ought to receive the rebuke
of abolitionists. Last winter while she was Ice
turing in Indiana on Womans Rights, the door
keeper excluded some colored ladies from lecture,
aud when she learned the fact, she Immediately
sent them tickets to the next lecture and directed
the door-kccper, who was also leasec Of the hall to
refuse no person account Of his color. lie in
formed her that she would have smaller audience
for it, land he told the truth, and asked her to
state publicly, that it was by no fault of his that
colored people were there, which at the next lee
ture, she did most fully. So, too even in Philade
phia, she found the same prejudice; for having
engaged hall there for lecture on Woman,
Rights, as she was about to send complimentary
tickets to some Of her colored friends she was told
that they not admitted to that hall. Lucrctir
Mott the long tried and true friend of the slave
said she thought they would not be excluded Il
years since the aboitionists had asked for th,
hall, but as the n. Y. Tabernacle once would no
permit an antslavery meeting in it, and now does
so there might be freedom for the colorcd peopl
in that hall, when once there was not. Mrs. Mot
wrote n note and sent the tckots to the colore
friends, while Miss Stone, to make all sure, If pos
siblc, went herself to the curator's, and learnc,
with pain that no persuasion or argument coul
change the hateful spirit Of caste, which admitte
none but white skins there. As il was then to-
late to change the place, she gave her lecture an,
at its close, stated the facts to the audience assur
ing them she never did nor would consent to lectur
when she knew that colored people could not come
and that in subsequent lectures in Philadelphip
she should take another hpll for the woman doe
, not deserve her rights, who is willing to secur
them by tramping upon those of any other.
r The omnibuscs Of Philadelphia even, do not a
i low colorcd people to ride.
l. We ought to rcbuke this wicked prejudice, and
r resolution ought to 60 out from this Convention
/ which shall characterize it as it deserves
Mr.. Charles Griffng offered the following res
l. luton preacing it by some appropriate remark
,r which were well roceivcd
Resolved, That in the death Of James W. Wi
n ker, our cause has lost one of the most eoque
of and efficient advocates, and the slavea warm tr
Is and constant friend and this Convention do herel
l. affirm our appreciation of the loss we have sustai
he ed by his death, and to his afflicted family al
re friends offer our most afEectonate sympathy
this their hour of seycrest trial. And by Il
re death of every laborer for the slaves emancpato
n by the death of every human being who tolls in bo
n dage, we pledge our lives and continued efforts
the overthrow of Slavery in this and every land
- The Rev. Mr.. Lilernore having read no
from the Rev. :. j. May, explaining tha. his n
le sence was caused by death in his parish

Mr.. Emery, city missionary, offered rctoluti
