JOHN MERCER LANGsToN.

Mr.. Langston, as most Of our readers know, is a
talented, educated and eloquent colorod gentleman
Of Lorraine county, in this State. By the follow.
ing letter from him in Frederick Douglass Paper,
1t seems that his character is appreciated at home.
lie has been elected Clerk Of the township In which
he resides.
Several years since, a worthy ~neighbor Of ours
in Stark county, Whose children were liable to be
at any time excluded from the district school on
account of their comploxions,) was elected school
director and served as such with good acceptance
to his neighbors am constituents. These are the
only cases within our knowledge of the election to
office, in Ohio, Of our prescribed fellow-citizens
In both cases, we are sure the electors might have
done much worse, and in neither do We feel any
assurance they could have done better.
MI. Langstcn says:
al have a news item for you. On the End Of
this month, we held our elections. In our town
ship, we had three distinct parties. and as many
independent tickets. The Independent Democratic
were wise for once, at least, in making and sticking
to their own nominations. But more than this
and a thing which also exhibits their wisdom anC
virtue; they put upon their ticket the name Of
colored man whU was elected clerk of Bruwnholn
Township, by n very handsome majority, indeed
cihce am the only culOreu man VINO lives IN TIM
township, you can easily guess the name of thu
man who was 50 fortunate as to secure this cleo
ton. To my knowledge, the like has not beer
known in Ohio before. 1t argues the steady marcel
Of the anti-slavery sentiment, aud augurs the in
eyitable destruction and humiliation Of American
prejudice against colored men. What we so mucl
need just at this juncture, and all along The future
is political influence the bride by which we cal
check and guide to our advantage, the selfshnes
OF American CcmagOgues, How important, then
it is, that we labor night and day to enfranchis
ourselves. We are doing too little in this direction
And | make this charge against white anti-slaver,
persons, as well as colOred ones. l hope that be
fore a great while, we will all amend our ways il

coLoRED PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA.

Frederick Douglass Paper, of a recent date, con-
tains the following:
.In a very neatly-printed pamphlet, prepared
by a Committee of the 'Colored Citizens Of Phila-
delphia,' asking for the same right of suffrage they
enjoyed for forty-seven years prior to the adoption
Of the present Constitution, in '3S, it is stated that
they number 80 900 persons in Philadelphia that
they possess S2.6S5 ,G93 of real and personal estate;
and have paid 50 7G6, ~ for taxes during the past
year, and 1896, 1922 for house, water, and ground
rent"
The Compendium of the Census sets down the
colon ed population Of Philadelphia 1--WE suppose
meaning the city and county, at but 1871. We
note this discrepancy for the sake of accuracy,
and not because any principle can be affected by
tho error in the foregoing, ii such it be. The pa
per from which we quote says of the people of
color in Philadelphia aud of the State at large:
They buy and sell property, own lumber yards,

Der merchants in the State are colored men, and
till the soil there ar, mechanics. professional men
and artists, among them they are developing not
only their identity. but their equality, with the

We rejoice in these assurances of the success Of
the partial freedom enjoyed by the negro race in
Pennsylvania, and sincerely hope that every man

dicious defence of their cause, until the justice

RIOT AT CHIcAco.-On Saturday of last week,
Chicago was the scene of a murderous riot, grow.
ing out of the enforcement of an ordinance passed
by the city council, prohibiting the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors by unlicensed shops. and fixing the
price of licence ut $500. Violators of tho ordi-
nance were prosecuted, and q demonstration WAS
made by them and their friends, to ovcrawe the
court, which was to decide the case on Saturday.
The Marshall ordered the procession to ~disperse,
when a fight ensued and the free whiskey boys
were vanquished. In the afternoon they returned
to the fight, again to be vanquishcd. Several per-
sene were shot and otherwise injured on both sides

JUVENILE SNORING ArFAIR.-On Sunday morn.
ing last. about ten o'clock, the citizens of CASTOR
were thrown into a high state Of excitement, caus-
ed by q white boy named Robert Frazier, shooting
a negro boy belonging to Dr.. Clemens of that
place. The negro boy was playing withsa cat
amusing himself in an innocent way, when
the negro, not obeying this youths COM
mand, turned round with his face to Frasier,
and, as he turned, Frasier fired at him with his
gun, the whole load lodging in the negro boys
mouth. tearing part of his nose off, knocking out
two or three teeth, and injuring him very much.
Medical assistance was promptly rendered by the
owner of the boy. Young Frazier was arrested

THE CHRISTIAN ANTI-SLAvERY CON.
VENTI0N,

Which was advertised for Cincinnati on the ID
of may, is not to come off as proposed. What is
the cause Of the failure. we are not informed.
One of our exchanges says, it arose from some diff
ference of opinion among the clerical movers in
the matter, as to what constituted orthodox anti
slavery opinion. Very likely. These clergymen
are great stricklers for orthodoxy. A similar fail
ure to hold a meeting after steps have been taken
for one, occurred in New England a few months
since. A great ti-Nebraska Clerical Conven-
ton was to behold. But the preliminary call was
withdrawn and time passed on without an effort
for the great results it was to bring. This back
ing out of the ministers in New England and Gin
cinnati, is suggestive of the son who said, II go
sir but went not"
This faltering of the ministers is the more to be
marked, because they have the assurance to claim
that with them alone is the wisdom to originate,
and the influence to secure the adoption of meas
ures which shall result in the emancipation of the
slaves. If the ministers conscious of this power
set their hands to the pillow and look back, what
can be thought of them but that they are the
friends of Slavery, or at least, the lukewarm
friends of freedom.

CHEAP INFANTS.

Yes, in that State, whore editors fling their
missiles at "the hard times" which eblige poor
mothers to give away their children, rather than
sell them. 1t seems that Kentucky mothers prefer
being sold, rather than hired out. Why?
Because the woman knows that self-interested
owners are a little less likely to work the Nc out
of her than one who hires for a season, but counts
her of no more consequence than any other animal

New York ABOLITION SocIErY.-In noticing
this Society last week, one fact escaped our obser
vation, viz that membership is restricted to men.
A most disgraceful restriction, and one which, at
this day cannot fail to defeat any good purposes
for moral influence by its measures, which any Of
its members may entertain. A Society form.
ed to restore the recognition and protection Of
human rights to one class of persons, by moral
and political means, and which sets out by discard.
ing the equal cooperation of one half the human
family, will fail to secure the respect of any one
even of the enemies Of woman's rights, or of the
slaves emancipation.
The article of the Society, in regard to momber.
ship. is remarkable, seeming, probably unintention.
ally, to deny the personality of women. 1t is as
follows:
"Any person approving these objects. prin,
