1t will be seen that "the Republicans
of West Virginia" are invited ''to send
delegates without respect to COLOR" to meet
in convention in Baltimore, on Thurs
day, the 18th day of September, 1866.
The object of the Convention is to in
duce Congress to legislate negro suffrage
into all the States, land to abolish all legal
distinction on account of color, includ-
ing, of course, the existing regulations
in regard to the intermarriage of the
races.
We would like to know who is ahead
in the mulatto business nowi We
would also inquire whether the Repub-
licans are going to stand up and face
the music of the above invitation Or
will they sympathize with the senti-
ment and yet evade the issuef Are
they afraid to endorse their own doc
tline' The above proclamation re-
quests "the Republican papers in this
and the other States named" ITO pro-
mote the object above stated and to
publish this call" Their failure to do
so, indicates their usual cOwardice.
