An IMPORTANT MEETING OF CoLoRED
PREAcHERs.-,A meeting OF the pastors Of
colored churches In this city was held yes
church. Rev. Thomas James, formerly of
Louisville, KY, now Of Rochester, N. Y,
was chosen as chairman, and Rev. ]. P.
Hamer as secretary.
Among others the following preachers
were present: Rev. Messrs. Jno. W. Green,
Jonathan Hamilton, Jacob Trusty and J. Z.
Price, all pastors Of churches In this city.
The meeting was adjourned from March
S1st, which was preliminary meeting to
consider the political situation, condition
and wants Of the colored people Of the
United States, who should be their proper
guides or representatives politically as we'll
as spiritually. At this meeting committee
was appointed to prepare series Of resolu-
lions expressive Of the feeling OF the pastors
OF this city on the subject.
At the meeting yesterday the committee
appointed presented their report, which was
read and discussed at some length. 1t would
seem from the remarks OF the several pastors
who spoke on the subject that the report
makes certain inquiries as 70 who are the
representatives of the people Of color Of the
United States, and what has been done by
the members Of the late National CoDven-
ton, the self-styled leaders and guides Of
the colored people; and the general ideas, as
expressed by the speakers yesterday, was to
the effect that the pastors OF the churches
were the true mediums by which the mass
Of people could make their wants and wishes
known. A number of colored men have
been named as At for positions, and In every
case those named arc far behind others who
are as yet not known-men who have labored
silently, yet earnestly, for years for the well
fare of the colored race,
These men should be brought forward, and
II positions are to be given they should have
them. The pastors Of the churches, there
fore, are the proper persons to make the In
quiries and set in operation the minds Of the
| colored people at work, to the end that the
men who have served them faithfully In
years gone by should be sought out and
recompensed. The men selected as repre-.
sentatives, to do honor TO the colored race
should be such as thoroughly understand
the people, who mlngle with them In their
daily walks, and who know and understand
| them.
After q good deal Of discussion the report
as presented by the committee was adopted
with several amendments, and the meeting
ad journed.
The meeting yesterday was one Of good
deal Of interest, aud the ideas us expressed
by the preachers seem TO be sound and en-
titled to consideration. The pastors who
took part In the proceedings are men Of in
telligence, aud they appeared to fully under
stand the position they have taken.
