LOUISVILLE, Sept. 2G.--The Colorcd Ma
tiOnal Liberal Convention met again this
morning, William U. Sanders, of Maryland,
in the chair. After prayer by the Rev. DR..
Davis, of Kentucky, appeal was made by Il.
A. Boyd, of Kentucky, for the establishment
Of Liberal organ for the colored people.
Two delegates, j. Robinson Richmond, of
Maryland, and Colonel Tabs GROSS, of
Little Rock, Ark, presented credentials and
took seats. The President read the follow
ing platform, which was adopted after some
debate:
Whereas, In the political history of our
country, by common consent Of all equal
human rights has ceased to be question at
issue between the contending political par
ties, and all citizens are assured Of equal
rights, equal privileges, and equal protection
and
Whereas, The nomination at Cincinnati
OF the most devoted Republican ever nomi-
mated, and the adoption of the most conpre-
hensive and liberal platform ever adopted,
by the most exemplary Republicans ever
assembled together in this country, is a
| fitting climax to the selfsacrificinp labors
of the best men in tho land for more than q
quarter Of century, and augurs a brighter
and more peaceful future to our common
country; and
whereas, 1t becomes the sacred duty of
all citizens, of whatever race, origin, or con
dition, to contribute toward that grand con
summation which is the end and aim of the
progressive Liberal Republican and Demo-
cratic party, under the leadership of the Hon.
Horace Greeley and the Hon. i. Gratz
Brown, tending inevitably toward the unity
Of the Republic, with equal rights to all and
reconciliation therefore,
Resolrcd, BY the colored Liberal Republi.
cans Of the United States in National Con.
yention assembled, at Louisville, Kentucky
first, that as citizens Of the Republic, We
hail with joy the prospect of the burial Of al
caste, class, and sectional prejudices, ant
fOrgetfulness, and forgiveness, and oblivion
Of the past.
Resolved, That our thanks and gratitude
are alike due TO the Cincinnati and Baltimore
Conyentions--to the first for the adoption o
/ q platform which opens the channel to thu
grand future in which all men will be known
hereafter as American citizens, and by M
other designation; and to the latter fo

THE QUESTION STATED.
Mr.. Chairman and fellow-cfizeas:

These things being settled, and both par
ties being agreed as to principles. our politi
cal problem reduces to this: Shall there be
a change i'll the Administration Or in Other
words, are there any reasons why the Ameri
can people should prefer the nominees Of the
Cincinnati, rather than those of the Phila
delphia Convention: L repeat the question
Why should the people of this country. anC
especially why should the people Of the Soutl
prefer Mr.. Greeley to General Grant:
New national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1870-1874, 1872-10-03


Another reason given why the South
should support the Cincinnati nominee is.
| that the Cincinnati movement compelled the
Republicans in Congress to pass the recent
amnesty bill.
| Nov this statement is wholly false, The
passage of this bill was simply carving into
| effect The plan laid down at the commence
ment of the session, and the Cincinnati
movement had no more to do with it than it
! had to do with the passage of the reputation
| bills of the present Legislature, by which our
Democratic friends managed to destroy the
credit of the State.
| 1t will be remembered that President
Grant in his annual message in December.
recommended general amnesty law. The
House of Representatives, being LARGELY Re-
publican, promptly passed a bill in accord
ance with the recommendation of the Presi-
dent, differing very little from the one which
finally became law, and sent it to the SEN
ate for concurrence.
When the bill was called up in the Senate.
Mr.. Sumner offered what is known as the
supplemental civil rights bill, as an amend
ment. This had the effect of showing who
were the real friends of amnesty, and who
were only shalnmng friendship for this meas
ure. Those Liberals" who had been SO
clamorous for amnesty, declared that if this
amendment was adopted, Gan amendment
that was not only inst and proper, but de-
manded by every consideration of reason
and justice,) they would vote against amnes-
ty. For weeks and weeks, did this measure
hang in the Senate, none voting for it but
the friends of the Administration. And
when the measure passed with the amend
ment, very unwisely as l think, there was
but one of the Liberals in the Senate to
cast bis vote in favor of it. In view fthese
| facts ask you if there is any evidence that
/ the Cincinnati movement compelled Congress
4 to pass this act? Or does it not appear thai

Some weeks since distinguished gentleman
deliveredan able and elegant address in this
city, in support of Mr.. Greeley. OF this gem
tlemant may be truly said that for power of
intellect and beauty of dlction, he has no
equal i'll this State, and few superiors in the
country. As he addressed himself prnci-
pally to the reasons why the Southern people
should support the platform and candidates
of the Cincinnati Convention, it will be we'll
to notice some of those reasons.

I'VE have been requested to republisll

It seems to be taken for granted that,

more ways than one Of reaching indie

RAiI.ROAD MISUNDERSTANDING sur
vcys and negotiations Of one sort or an
other have boon the order Of the week
A few days since, n delegation from
Qussqueton was in town for the purpose
Of enlisting our citizens in the effort to
induce the managers Of the Cedar Rapids
and Anamosa roads to form Junction
at or near Qussqueton and run to .Inde
peudence on our track. It is understood
that the B. G. Il. & N. company, failing
to get a favorable response to their liber
al proposition to the people Of Hsme'
township, made an offer to the Quasque
ton people 70 run their line to that place
provided the citizens would subscribe
$4,000 to the road. This offer has been
accepted by Quasqueton, and We learn
that $4,000 of tho amount has already
been raised.
In regard to the question Of one track
for both roads. it is understood that tho
Anamosa road will be located on the east
side of the river. While it will make no
essential difference that we can sec to
Quasqueton. it Is Of importance to the
convenience of Independence and the
people living ON the west side of the
river that the Cedar Rapids road should
run ON the west side. We think the
company prefer to use separate track,
aud that the determination to do 80 will
depend mainly upon the success in pro-
curing right of way on the west side Of
the river All concerned should see
their interest in this suggestion and act
accordingly.
In the meantime the engineers Of the
B. G. r. & NJ. road arc in this vicinity,
running new lines through the east end
Of town. A surveying party Of the Ana.
