W: Wrightl "a colored lawyer) Of
fered the following preamble and
resolutions:
Whereas the progressive tenden-
cies of the Republican party are in
sympathy with the advancement of
the colored race, and in their partici-
patton in all and every right of ma
tlonnl citizenship; and whereas the
colored men of the South have de-
monstrated in the past, and are prov
ing, to-day, n loyalty to the Union,
which entities them to the confidence
of the people equal to that which is
bestowed upon any of the loyal citi-
zens of the country; and whereas the
commanding position that we now
occupy in the South, in conjunction
with the Republican element of the
North, will surely secure to the party
the consummation of its wishes; and
whereas this great influence which we
now control demands the recognition
Of our friends, and q representation
i'll the councils of the nation COM
mensurate thereto. BE it
ReSo'ced, That it is the sense of
this Convention that the interest of
the country, of the Republican party,
and especially of the South, requires
that the colored man, who has con-
tributed so much to the success Of the
war, on hundred battle-felds, shall
be represented by one of his own
race on the next Presidential ticket of
the Republican party.
Resolved, That in all our political
discussions, we keep this matter fully
in view, knowing its Importance to
tho progress Of our race and party,
and that we recommend other Con-
ventions of this character to adopt
similar resolutions.
ReSoived, That these resolutions be
considered by the Convention ut
large, without reference to o commit
tee.
