Joshua Leavitt then addressed the ConVen-

WHAT BECOMES OF THE FREE CoLoRED PEG
PLE1

A writer over tho signature of Gaines" in
another part of to-day's Era, expresses very
decided disapprobation of our articles on the
subject Of the destiny of tho free cslored peo-
pie. He as ooored man, is indignant at the
imputation of being DESTROYS of escaping from
the odium which attaches to his race. He
should remember that the free colored people
of the North constitute less than a sixteenth of
the total colored population of the country
and that our remarks may be generally true,
if we should except the largest portion of the
colored people of the free States. But we can
not do even that. The great mass of them
would gladly amalgamste with the whites, if
they could dc 80 consistently with honor-and
as for those who are without honor, we presume
that Gaines" viii not feel disparaged BIZ the
superstition that they are troubled with no re-
pugnance to oven illicit amalgamation. This
is all we contended for and we had chiefly lin
view the colored people of the South, slave and
free. A colored man, writing for "Fredsr,ek
DouglGss's Paper" speaks of our statements az
lamentably true. We perceive that Mr.. Doug
looo noo COpiCu UObu UuI hIIiCicS Oh ILLS SUD-
ject, without comment, and we are led to ,ofer
that he finds no fault with our statements.
After oil, there is nothing very culpable in
the desire manifested by the colored people
to become white, if it can be done on honorable
terms. The desire of escaping odium, of taking
rank in that which is acknowledged 10 be the
superior, the ruling class, is universal and al
most inseparable from the weakness of human
nature. Even foreigners of the Caucasian race
are proud of being able to pass themselves off
as natives of the country. In spite of our
boosted freedom from religious and national
prejudice, every white man feels il an honor to
have been born in America rather than in
ireland or Germany.
"Gaines" reasons something like the dave-
holders. He don't like our facts, and he falls
to railing as if we had made them-as if thew
were cur facts, instead of being public facts.

THE ANTT-NEBRASKA CONVENTION, AD-
JOURNED FROM SARATOGA

The Anti-Nebrsska Convention met at Au-
burn yesterday, ex-Chancellor VIM. T. Nc.
Coun presiding, About two hundred delegates
were present. An attempt was made TO have
the voting done per capita, instead of all the
delegates of an assembly district casting but
one VOTE as they did at Saratoga The per
capita motion was carried. Mr.. Jay and Mr..
Blunt on behalf of the New York delegation,
protested against the per capita voting, but
their protest was declared out of order. A res
olution was offered in favor of organizing a
Republican party, independent of all other
party organizations in the State. A substitute
was moved, that the ticket of the Wing Con-
vention be nominated Ruled out of order. A
confused and excited debate followed, and fusl-
ly the new party matter was laid on the table.
A motion was made, that nominations be made
Uivd voce. An attempt to lay this motion on
the table failed-46 TO 178. Another motion
was made TO nominate as an independent
ticket, two Wings and two Democrats. Du-
ring an attempt to apply the previous ques-
ton, and amid much confusion, John p Hale
was called out, and made spirited speech Ii
was then moved to nominate the Wing ticket,
substituting Bradford r. Wood for Mr.. Ray
mond. A debate ensued on Mr.. Raymonds
position on the Temperance question, which
was settled by the reading of letter from
him, in which he pledged himself in favor of a
prohibitory law. Mr.. Jay read letters from
each of the Wing candidates, fully endorsing
the Saratoga proceedings. An effort was then
made to nominate the Wing ticket, and after
a long struggle, Myron H. Clark was nomina-
ted for Governor by accIamation They sub
sequently nominated the remainder of the
Wing ticket.-NeD York Tribune Of the 27h'

% Mr.. HENDRICKS has withdrawn from
the canvass now going on for Representative
to Congress in Mr.. Dunham's district in Indi.
ana. Mr.. Hendricks was the regular Anti
Nebraska nominee, but Mr.. Dunn and his
friends did not choose TO acquiesce in the action
of the Convention. He is now lefs alone &c
contest the district with Mr.. Durham. He is
Anti-Nebrasks and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Durham is Nebraska man, an unserupu.
lous supporter of the Administration, and q
thorough Pro-Slavery man. When in Con.
grese, formerly, Mr.. Dunn's course was no,
satisfactory to the friends of Freedom, sud, il
we have not been misinformed, he behaved
badly in relation to the nomination OF Mr.
Hendricks
Were all the elements of opposition to the
Administration in the district united, Mr.. Dun
ham could be defeated. The danger now is
that he may be reelected through division o.
the friends of Freedom. IF nothing else car
be done, let MIR. Dunn be called upon publicl,
to avow his determination to vote for the appli
cation of the Auti-Slavery principle of the ordi
nance of 1887 to all territory belonging to the
United States, and to declare his hostility L
the infamous Fugitive Act. If he will net d.
this we SEQ not why any real Anti-Slavery mar
should 90 out of the way to elect him.

Tho price of breadstuffs is now so much lower
in England than in America, that several car

from Liverpool for New York. This has not
happened since the initiation Of 1887, when

CATrLE-The decline in the price of cattle,
says the Abingdon Democrat is now the absorb
ing topic of conversation throughout the South
west. The drought was SO universal, it is said,
that cattle dealers in the Valley of Virginia are
unable to fatten their stock on hand for mar
ket; consequently, there is little chance to sell
at anything like remunerating prices in that
section.

SO far from the spirit of shareholders being
freer than that of other men, the very reverse
is becoming true and they are now almost as
much enslaved as their negroes. Not one of
them now dares to utter such sentiments as
Washington, Henry, Jefferson, and Madison,
habitually uttered. There are parts of the
South in which the largest STAKEHOLDER would
subject himself to coat of tar and feathers
for uttering such anathemas against Slavery,
as MIR. jefferson put into his Notes on Virginia.
Every man south of Mason and Dixon's line.
with few honorable exceptions, is ambitious
of being thought "sound on the Slavery cues
ton" Tho slightest doubt on this point is
fatal to his prospects as politician and if he
should dare to express disspprobation of Sla-
very by public speaking or writing, he is put
down by mob violence. How preposterouS for
such q people TO boast of being free! Thew
repudiate the Declaration of Independence
| they pronounce it a piece of vapid declap,a-
tion-"a self-evident le;n they sympathise
with Russia in its effort to enslaye Europe
| they brand Kossuth as a miscellaneous agitator
and load Nicholas with praises; they insist
that the laboring class should be slaves-that
Slavery is the proper condition of all who earn
their bread by the sweat of their brow,
whether white or black and yet they have the
GOODNESS to appropriate compliment which
Burke intended for such shareholders ss Wash.
ingtOn, Henry, and Jefferson, who proclaimed
tho universal equality of mankind. Having
abandoned the principles of those great men
common decency and honesty demands thai
they should lay aside honors, the rightful in
heritance of which they have forfeited. G.
