ELKTON, JUNE 26, 1869.
On the 1st of June convention, COM

On the list of June convention, COM
posed of colorcd delegates from the counties
some of them at least-and the city of
Baltimore, was held i'll that city, which
took high ground as political convention,
and assumed not only to speak for the col
ored men of the State, but to dictate to the
Republican party. This so-called convcn-
ton passed series of very ill-advised, ar
rogant and foolish resolutions, and commit
ted other acts equally unwise, in the name
of the colored people of the State. The
whole affair bogus and represented moth
ing but the little faction of ambitious white
demagogues who have been a disturbance
and injury to the Republican party
throughout the State. This first of June
assumption was manipulated by these same
factionists, who by the most fulsomc flat
tery and mischievous advice have been i'll
constant effort to obtain the lead and con-
troll of the colored people, hoping to use
them when the right to vote has been OBJ
tanned by them, not for any disinterested
interest in the welfare of that race, as we
have every reason to believe, but from
motives the most sordid and selfish. This
bogus convention has been repudi ted by Il
portion of the colored people in a most pub
lie and emphatic manner, by meeting
held at Frederick, on the 18th of June
The Frederick convention condemned in
unmeasured terms the Baltimore one of
June LIST, and passed some very judicious
resolutions, taking high national ground and
condemning all sectional OF clique organi-
cations This is the true position for
white, as well as colored men to take; and
every man who has the interest of the
great National Republican party at heart,
will utterly repudiate and tramp!e under
foot all ''claims set up by designing dem
gogues in the state, and set their faces like
flint against every man, OF set of men who
shows disposition to create factions and
dissension in the party. This is the only
road open to success by the Republican
party of the State. Let it be distinctly un-
tlerstood that the Republicans of Maryland
pin their faith to no man sleeve, and that
they will utterly repudiate every man who
endeavors to SOW dissension in their ranks
for the qualification of selfish ends. The
colored men of the State could not conceive
project better calculated to increase the
number of their enemies, than in hcarken-
ing to the bad advice of the little coterie of
LIST of June convention. The colored peo-
pie will consult their interest by remaining
passive, and refusing to be tempted by
those supcrServiceable friends-who are
really their worst cnemies-into any con-
tests about candidates or party organiza-
ton until. by the national fiat, they are
clothed with the elective franchise. 1t is
contrary to the established custom of all
political parties for any but actual voters
to have a voice i'll making nominations or
indicating a line of policy for the party
The colored people, when not tempered
with by designing demagogues, have shown
commendable prudence and patient wisdom
in biding their time-in waiting that they
may see the glory of the Lord-while the
white Republicans of Maryland under the
most adverse circumstances have steadily
contended for their rights. Another year
is almost certain to see those hopes crown
ed with success. Let the colored people
have patience and faith to wait little
longer.
