On the Executive Committee, we notice the

Ieve all right minded persons wish the color
ed people may have liberal facilities for ac
curing education. But we fear, this Con.
vention want not only the chances of educa
ton accorded them, but that they may enter
our schools on an equality with white chill
dren. If this last is their object, we have nc
sympathy with the movement, being constitu.
tionally opposed to placing the two races on
an equality, either politically or socially.
