A CALL
FOR A CONVENTION OF THE COLORED CIT.
IZENS OF THE NEW ENGLAND STATES.
G

FOR A CONVENTION OF THE COLORED CIT.
IZENS OF THE NEW ENGLAND STATES.
Fellow CITIZENS: We issue this call to invite
you to attend q Convention to be held in the City
of Boston commencing at 10 O'Clock on Monday,
the LIST day of August. 1859.
The primary object we have in view is, to take
into consideration the Moral, Social, and Political
elevation Of those with whom we are identified, BY
complexion and condition, in the Now England
and other States.
In all. except Eve of the eastern States. the col
ored citizens are deprived of the privileges of vot-
ing on equal terms with the whites.
Free suffrage is the basis of a free government,
the safeguard of q free people, the strength Of the
strong, the defence Of the weak; a powerful aux
Hilary to responsibility, wealth and usefulness
and Just in proportion as men are deprived of this,
they are shorn of their strength, and are subjec,
to poverty, disgrace, and abuse.
We are convinced. fellow citizens, that not only
our political, but our depressed condition in al
other respects in the Free States, is owing in
great degree to the fact, that We are POLITICAL,
weak, not possessing the unrestricted use of tn
elective franchise. The national body polite &c,
in us nothing to fear, and no favors to court.
We therefore urge upon colored men in ell sec
tions of New England. to evihce their selfrespec,
and love Of freedom, a devise TO promote their
moral, social, and political elevation. by assem-.
bling at the above time,--a day consecrated by the
signal and successful example of Great Britain
emancipating 500. 900 men, women, and children
in her West India colonies, and hence eminently
suggestive to us to stri We in securing equality to
the half free colored citizens of the Northern
States, and thus hasten the day of full emancipa.
ton to the millions yet grooming in the Southern
prison-house of our country.
We cordially invite our brethren from New
York, Pennsylvania. Ohio, and the far West, &c
meet with US. that the cause of our several griev
ances may be discussed, and the remedy sought.
With the exception of Connecticut, the New
England States have m~agnanimously acknowl
edged our political rights, and great progress ha'
been made in our moral and social elevation with
in the past twenty-five years. But let US, fellow
citizens, extend the words OF encouragement t
our brethren struggling in other States, until tn
rights Of colored Americans shall be granted an'
respected everywhere.

ing held at Bethel Church, Boston, Tuesday, Ma

dorse the action Of the Supreme Court. for it wa,
unanimously resolved by the Convention,
'That the Republicans of Ohio point with en-
tire satisfaction and pride. to the dignified. honest
faithful and judicious manner in which the pres

And these very leaders Of the party who were
whipped into the traces, will 60 home to their
constituents and endeavor to befog them and be-
fool them into a support of Judge Gholson. And
we fear the people have been so drilled to look to
party success, rather than to principle. to ask
wha. will pay, rather than what is right, that they
will s~lavishly follow wherever their leaders choose
to have them 60. No Republican who intends
to vote for Judge Gholson or who advocates his
election, no one who sustains the Columbus plat
form which endorses the action - Judge Swan in
common with the action of other State. officers, has
any right to look an honest man in the face and
tell him be believes the Fugitive Slave Law to DO
unconstitutional, and Judge Swans decision I'M
Just. If he does, the retort may pertinentiy be
made, "You utter a falsekood, sir, either by your

Pleasure for q Child.

Blessed be the hand that prepares pleas
ure for child, for there is no saying when
and where it may bloom fourth. Does not
almost everybody remember some kind
hearted man who showed him kindness
in the day of childhood =? The writer of
this recollects himself at this moment as a
bare looted lad, standing at wooden fence
of poor little garden in his native village !;
with longing eyes he gazed on the flowers
which were blooming there quietly in the
brightness OF Sunday morning. The pos
SCISSOR came forth from his cottage he was
a wood cutter by trade, and spent the whole
week at work in the woods. He come into
the garcen TO gather flowers to stick in his
coat when he went 10 church. He saw the
boy, and breaking off the most beautiful OF
his carnations, which was sireaked with
red and white, he gave it 10 him. Neither
the giver nor the receiver said word, and
with bounding steps the boy ran home
and now here at distance from that home,
after so many events OF so many years, the
feeling OF gratitude which agitated the
breast OF that boy, expresses itself on pa
per. The carnation has long since wthered,
bu, il now blooms airesh.-Douelas Jerrold

SUMNER DIET.--To keep the body cool
in summer, it is best 10 eat 70 meat, or fish,
or flesh, at least not oflener than once Gay;
and that in the cool of the morning; making
breakfast dessert of!berries of some kind
Dinner, light soup with bread then vege-
tables, rice, samp, corn, cracked wheat
dinner dessert of fruits and berries, in their
natural state, fresh: ripe, and perfect. Touch
nothing later than dinner taking nothing a,
all at supper but piece of cold bread and
butter, and single cup of some hot drink,
or in place OF these saucer OF ripe berries
without sugar, milk, cream, or anything
else, not even glass of water, or any other
liquid for an hour after.
In health no one ought to drink ice water,
for it has occasioned fatal inflammation ofthe
stomach and bowels, and some times sud-
den death. The temptation 10 drink it is
very great in summer; to use it at all with
; any safety the person should take but sin
gle swallow at time, lake the glass from
the lips for half minute, and then another
swallow, and SO on. It will be found that
in this way it becomes dlsagreeable after a
few mouthfuls.-Journal Of Health.

IMPROVEMENT OF TME-The celebrated
Earl OF Chatham performed an amount of
business, every minute, which filled com.
mon improvers of time with utter astonish-
men,. He knew not merely the great out.
lines of public business, the policy, and in.
trigues OF foreign courts. But his eyes was
on every part OF the British dominions and
scarcely man could move without his
knowledge OF the man and the object. A
friend one day called on him, when Prem.
ier OF England, and found him down on his
hands and knees, playing marbles with his
little boy, and complaining bitterly that The
rogue would not play fair; gaily adding
"that he must have been corrupted by the
example Of the French !" The friend wish
ed TO mention a suspicious looking stran-
ger, who for some time had taken up lodg-
ings in London. Was he spy, or merely
private gentleman? Pitt went to the
draw er, and took out some scores of small
portraits, and holding up one which he had
selected, asked, ais that the man? Yes,
the very person." "Oh, have had my eye
upon him from the lime he stepped on
shore 2" All this was accomplished by a
rigid observance of time; never suffering
a moment to pass without pressing it into
service. No one will try to improve his
time, unless he impressed with the neces-
siiy. Remember that at the very best cal
culation we can have but short time in
which 10 learn all and do all that we ac.
compish in life.-Todns Students Manual.

THE SEWING MACHINE.

''Got one? Don't say SO Which did you get!
One OF the kind TO open and shut!
Does it go with a crank or t!eadle Say,
I'm single man and rather green:
Tell me about your sewing machine"
"Listen my boy, and hear all about it
! don't know what could do without it..
I've owned one more than year,
And like it so well that call it ''my dear;''
'Tis the cleverest thing that ever was seen,
This wonderful family sewing machine.

With sieel.shod peak and cast iron wings !;
Its work would bother hundred of his,
And worth thousand !! Indeed il is;
Aud has way-you needn't stare
OF combing aud braiding its own back hair !!
Mine is not one of those stupid affairs
That stands in corner with what.nots and
Chairs,
And makes that dismal ,headachy noise,
Which all the comfort OF sewing destroys
No rigid contrivance of iron and steel,
But one with natural spring in the heel
I" mime is one of the kind 10 love,
And wears shaw and soft kid glove;
And sports the charmingest gaier boot.
Has The merrlest eye, and the daintest foot
And bonnet with feathers, and ribbons, ,and
loops,
With any indefinite number of hoops.
None Of your patent machines for me
Unless Dame Nature is the patentee;
like the sort that can laugh and talk,
And take my arm for an evening walk
That will do whatever the owner may ch oose
With the slightest perceptible turn of the
screws!
One that can dance, and-possibly hirt;
And make pudding as well as shirt
One that can sing without dropping stitch,
Aud play the housewife, lady or witch
Ready 10 give the sagest advice,
Or 10 do up your collars and things so nice
What do you think Of my machine +!
Ain't it the best that ever was seen
'Tisnt clumsy, mechanical toy,
But flesh and blood Hear that, my boy!
With turn for gossip:a and household affairs,
Which include, you know, the sowing OF
tares
Tut, tlt, don't talk. see it all
You needn't keep winking so hard at the
wall;

You would like, e,yourself, a sewing machine
Well, get one, ihen-of the same design

WHAT THE MEEK HEART DID.

Look out, Oh weary heart, look out
In the wide world and see
II there thou fin,'st a laurel wreath,
Or a great work for thee.
Then the weak heart looked sadly,
On scenes of change and strife,
And saw no fame.wrea,h for its brow,
No.great work for its life.
So little deeds that thronged It's path
That heart took meekly up;
Its need Of suffering humbly drank.
And drained the bitter cup.
The quiet life was truly lived,
To have done more il would
But there is written this of such,
