! The NEGRO CoSvESrIos.--Th African Church
was yesterday the scene of an immense congrega-
ton Of negroes from all parts Of the State. The
I assemblage embraced both men and women of
every shade. The church was filled TO its utmost
capacity and their linen coat tails ioated out of
the windows like so many flags of truce. The
space around the edfce was crowded with the
colored population discussing the question of ore
ljuvination.' Delegates were in attendance from
all parts of the State, and the Convention was
strictly of the colored persuasion. So far as we
could learn there were only two white persons in
attendance. They were The editor Of the Press and
Times and the Chaplain of the i th o. s. @. L., who
addressed the Convention. We endeavored to learn
the object of the meeting, and made numerous in
Iquires of the more venerable looking darkies

regeato de electum franchise and propagate de un
divided circumboberation of de American citizens

white neckerchief and big cane stepped up, and
remarked, ''Sense my longevity, dey Doesn't know
muffin bout it. Ise delegate, and de grievances
is de great paramountan ob dis meeting. Yves
gwine to undress petition to de Legislature and
de President on de right oh suerngs for de coIored

column, and as he intended to speak in the Con-
vention to-day we would not feel justified in pub
fishing his views in advance l.
