The National Convention OF CoIored

Our reporters have made pretty full and Ae-
curste reports OF this gathering, which Is now
In session in this city and yesterday we took
occasion to look In upon the convention and
to observe its proceedings.
At the time we were present there was con-
siderable that would be set down as trivial
and irrelevant by an outsider. One Of the
superior white race" who sat near US seized
this point Of difference among the contestants
who were apparently wrangling about tribes,
and affirmed that this was conclusive evidence
that the eolored people could never govern
themselves. Says he, "they all want to be
leaders, and they all want to-talk and It isa
strife as to who 10 the most able and wlsest
man among them" II may be so; but we con.
fess that the question In issue was not mat.
ter ofimportance one way or the other still
we saw nothing indicative of our friends
views. We have seen Just such squabbles In
deliberAtive assemblies OF white men hundreds
of times indeed, we have seen long debates
and full as much wrangling In Congress many
time, and over matters and questions of
much less importance, Most men arc great
sticklers for opinion, and often the less there
is to 1t the more they stick. This is human
nature, aud 1t does not matter so much
whether 1t be white human nature or black
human nature. We saw nothing uureasona.
bic in this debate about mere form.
We went to the convention hoping to see
Frederick Douglass, and take again the ha nd
OF aman whose palm grasped ours more than
thirty years ago. when he came a trembling
fugitive from the house Of bondage, and trod
the free soil of Massachusetts free soil, did
we sayi not so. There was then no soil where
The United States nag hosted that was free.
We did not see Mr.. Douglass, as he had left
for New York, to lecture in Brooklyn last
evening. Our mind, while the business Of the
convention was proceeding, was chiefly occu.
pied with considerations of the marvellous
changes which have been wrought In the land.
The nag to-day does not wave over a single
slave. There are no fugitives from bondage.

To THE REPUBLICAN; In your paper Of yes
terday letter from your special correspond
ent appears which contains a misstatement OF
facts iu regard to my connection with Perry
Fuller, OF Kansas, and an evident attempt, by
insinustion, to identify me with him In prin.
ciples and politics. Some years ago was en-.
ployed by Mr.. Fuller, but NOT as "hi, chief clerk
and managing man, +" and probably knew as little
the writer OF the article in question, who has
evidently oonfounded Mr.. Fuller's chief
clerk" with the chief clerk OF the Legislature
hold for Ave years, voluntarily resigning the
sixth. II to have had for a term Of years
the confidence OF the Legislature of State SO
thoroughly Radical as Kansas brings men into
bad odor" with and renders them "obnox.

fear that will remain hopelessly odorous.

We do not know the Individual who is
styled the Especial" or Occasional" corre-
spondent of the New York World, and we do
not care to know. We hope, for the credit OF
the corps of Washington correspo nde nts-for
all whom we know we believe to be gentle
men-that this man 10 q myth, and that the
foolish and silly stories which appear in the
World, said to come from Washington, are
manufactured In the New York Office, espe-
cially those portions which pretend to detail
conversations said to have been held between
Gen. Grant and certain distinguished men.
Some OF these stories represent Gen. Grant
as heaping unneasured abuse and ridicule
upon such men as Stanton, Conness, Kilpat-
rick, and Banks, and this correspondent
assures the country through the columns OF
the World, that he gives the substance OF
those conversations II not a verbatim report
OF the words spoken by Gen. Grant.
Now, 1t Is easy to see the upshot Of all this
on the part Of that unprinoipled and menda.
cious sheet, the New York World. The GninuS
is apparent. 1t is all intended to create dis
,entions and rupture 10 the party by alienat-
ing our public men one from another. But
the attempt will fail, and upon the head of
that diTepuidbIe sheet will fall the odium
which muSt inevitably attach to 1t iu eonse.
quenee Of these lying episucs.
We here In Washington do not need to be
told that there Is not one particle of truth in
these letters which the World parades, thus
mslieiously and Indignantly putting words
into the mouth Of the President elect which
he never uttered, Ivhieh no living man epcr heard
him brsdthej but abroad in the land some people
may think these silly efrusions OF a mean and
most disreputable journal have some shades
OF truth In them. But the whole land may be
assured that these stories are false from skin
to core, and from core back to skin.
There is no other paper In the country
which has descended to such a degradation In
journalism that Its managers could for a mo
ment consent to perpetrate such falsehoods.
The World must carry OFF the palm In this
Instance, and 10 clearly entitled to the sOubri.
