Mr.. W. ". Wright 10 colorcd lawyer), from

tion in all and cyary right OF national citizenship;
and whereas tho coiorcd men Of tho South have do.

confidence of tho people equal 10 that which is Lc-
s,nwod upon any Of tho loyal ctizsns of tho coun.
try AMI whereas tho commanding position tuat
VIC now occu in the South, iu conjunction with
tho Republican, clement of tho North. will surely
secure to tho party tho contamination OF it's
WISHES; anu whereas this great induouco which
wo now control demands tho recognition OF our
TRENDS, aud representation in tho councils Of
the 9, nat;on commensnrato 9 !, thoroto Bolt
ton that the interest of tho country OF tho Ropub-
lcan party, and especially Of tho South, requires
that the colorcd man, who has contributed 30
tie fields, shall be represented by ono Of his own
race on tho next Presidential ticket Of tho Repub-
Resolotd, That in all our politica, discussions.
wc Keep this matter fully in view knowing its i'm
portanco to tho grogrcss Of our raco and party
aud that wo recommend other Conventions Of this
Resolred. That thoso resolutions bc considered
by tho Convention at largo, without roforcnco TO
In offering these resolutions; Mr.. Wright spoke
Mr. President and Gentlemen: havo submitted
I theso resolutions 10 your consideration because
they embody q sentiment which is now engaging
North. Somo Of the most prominent mon in Con-
gress, and out Of Co igress, have within fow
weeks given shape and expression to tho thought,
and u number OF the leading papers Of tho NORTH
who havo stood by our people for ton, twenty ana
thirty years, nre advocating the measure as ono
worthy to DO adopted. Why is IL? Because, Mr.
President, they that coore mon in both sections
hnyo shown themselves faithful to the Guernmont
OF the United Statos. Ho Furthermore contendcd
that his brethren had acquitted themselves well
i'll every position which they had occupicd-caual-
ly as well, in fact as the former dominant race.
He assorted that tho mon referred TO above had
led in this mattor, ani the colorcd race should
not shrink from pushing tho movement on, until
thoy were allowed to ait in tho councils Of tho na-
tion. For these reasons ho had penncd the reso-.
lutions. Ho declared that tho originatora had
even pointed to nn indiriduli-a Western man
and that it was right proper and just. He belicv-
ed that II was wise and judcious matter, to bo
considered in their assemblies. It would arouse
and prepare tho masses OF tho people at the South
to occupy such position; would animate and
stimulate the raco, and would act as stimulus to
their efforts. lIo hoped that his remarks would
10 carried homo to the hearts Of his hearers.
blr. Doliargo was opposed to tho mattor, and
would vote for the best man, regardless OF color.
Ho hoped that, ut this stage OF tho proceedings,
tho Convention would not condescend to bring
the matter up. lie beloved tho resolution would
be voted down, as it was dangerous question 10
spring at tho present time.
Pending tho discussion. tho Convention adjourn
ed, to moet this morning, at 10 O'Clock.
