dcavOr to court the favor Of the Convention put his
foot away into the mire and pulled such hornets
nest about his that 1t Will be long time before
he again petitions his 'black bethern." Mr.. Sher-

and l honor them; they have been exalted to
that they desired was to practice humility and de-
pend upon their merits and they would succeed.
Mr.. Sherwood was very unfortunate in the selection
OF his wOrds-"humty" was very Inappropriate, as
he soon found out Dr.. Thompson, OF Newbur2,
first got mt him; then Butler OF New York. and they

given to the colored race and they were American
citizens 1t aroused to enthusiasm the audience. ana
they numbered their acquiescence IN his denuncia

hat In hand and beat nasty and ignomniOus
retreat.
The resolutions were under discussion when the
morning session adjourned.
