should be converted and educated up to the
requisite standard, moved by the Holy Spirit,
he would leave his native America and go as
q missionary to Africa. The unhealthy cli-
mate of that dark continent, though death to
the white man, would be life to him.
Notwithstanding this dead fly" in the
speakers spot of ointment" his speech,
though brief, was both eloquent and effective,
did good service to the cause of educahOr,
and was warmly applauded. For myself and
the Church thank DR.. Newman for his in
terest and efforts in this noble work but
though not on terms Of intimacy, yet his firm
personal friend, who would elevate him as
high as he would his colored brother, i. e., to
the Episcopacy, l beg him to abjure his un-
charitable and unbrotherly feelings towards
his lowly and suffering brethren. His sentl-
ments on this subject, in my humble judg-
ment, are neither the doctrines of MethOdsm
nor true Christianity. The latter does not re-
quire and the former reject any such apology
for simply doing our duty to our fellow, our
neishbor, our brother. 1 proclaim the true
and sole doctrine of Methodism on this sub
ject to be the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man. Let this doctrine be
faithfully proclaimed from our pulpits and
taught in our schools, and the curse of caste
will cease to affect our hearts, blind our eyes,
and bind our hands. For one l long to be a
freeman, not only when I stand within the
portals of that magnificent edifice, the Capt.
tol of the United States, where DR.. Newman
each day at noon offers up prayer alike for
the white and black Senators Of his country,
as well as for that great country itself, but in
the Church of God and my fathers, where it
has been silent so long, where dare not in
answer to the question in the Discipline,
"What shall he done for the extirpation of
slavery?" now that it has been extirpated,
thank God for it without giving offence at
home, in the market place." everywhere

to have free press and to use free speech,

from Illinois, as principal, with about ten
assistants. There is no building belonging
to the School Board for the colored children,
but one is soon to be erected. AT present
the schools are held in the different cOlored
churches in the city. Miss - Cummings,
a white lady, is principal of No. ?, with two
assistant teachers. Mrs. l.. }. Cardozo is
principal of No. 3, with Miss ,. u. Tomin-
son, of Michigan, as her assistant. Another
assistant, we understand, is to be added to
this school. Patrick Sullivan, pure son of
Erin, is principal of No. 4, with Mrs. A. y.
Watkins (who, of right, ought to be princi-
paD and Mrs. Murphy as his assistants.
And Miss S. u. Thomas is principal of No.
5, with Messrs. Augustus Newton, Jr., and
Abner w. Benson as her assistants. Miss
Thomas is putting woman's rights into actual
demonstration by having two men as her
assistants. And we understand, too, that
when she speaks they obey! There is no
distinction made between the male and female
teachers as regards their salaries. Those of
the first grade get ninety dollars per month,
those of the second grade get seventy dol
lars, and those of the third grade get fifty
dollars. This is as it should be, as the la
dies, as general thing, do the most of the

Sickening OF their ALLIES.

The Democracy arc fast becoming dis
9usted with the Liberal Republicans" and
are preparing to repudate all connexion,
present or prospective, with them. They
have discovered not only that the authors of
the Cincinnati movement are destitute of
common sense, but that they are absolutely
without constituency; that the people have
no sort of sympathy with them, and that
revenge is the only motive at the bottom of
the bolt. In view Of the utter insignifcance
of the demonstration, there is now no doubt
that they will make clean Democratic
nomination wheH the time comes. They
will wait till after the Cincinnati Convention
has been held, and do what they can to
encourage that gathering to nominate a
Liberal Republican" candidate for Presi-
dent, in the stupid expectation that it will
divide the Republican party. They are
using the malcontents, and will abandon
them when they can hope for no further aid
and comfort.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. %, 1872
The following preamble and resolutions
were adopted by the "Southen States Con-
vention of Colored Men," which convened in
this city on the 18th day of October, 1871:
Whereas, the time fixed for the assembling
of this Convention was very unfortunate
owing to the important canvasses going on in
several of the Southern States, and the in
ability OF many good men to attend, in cOnse-
quence OF the same; and whereas, MANY
prominent colored men disapproved of said
call, because they considered it sectional !;
therefore be it ....--.. ...
Resolved, That the President of this Con-
vention be, and is hereby, authorized to call
National Convention of the colored people
OF the United States, to meet at the city of
New Orleans, Louisiana, on the second We'd
nesday of April, 1872. .F
Resolred, That the representation to said
Convention shall be two from each State or
Territory at large, and one for each twenty
thousand colOred voters, and one for each
fractional part over ten thousand, to be
elected as the State may determine.
Pursuant to authority vested in me under
the foregoing resolutions, hereby call upon
the cOlored people of the United States to
elect and commission delegates to assemble
in convention on the day and at the place
mentioned at twelve o'clock NJ, to consider
their political and material interests.
The ratio of representation as laid down in
the foregoing resolutions, is expected to be
strictly adhered to.
Respectfully,

Hon. Chas. III. Porter.

We take the following from the Richmond
State Journal. The endorsement of the Hon.
CHAs. III. PORTER is well merited by him.
He has been steadfast and true to the Re-
publican principles:
Whereas, in the faithful performance of his
duty as the Representative in Congress of
the oppressed and outraged loyal people of
the South, Hon. Charles III. Porter has pre-
sented in Congress bill (No. 100 for the
removal of civil and criminal causes from
State to United States courts and for the
commencement of causes in the latter where
Justice and the constitutional rights of citi-
zens are denied or neglected on account of
color or prejudice and
Whereas it is an indisputable fact that a
Republican cannot obtain justice at the hands
of the judges and juries of Virginia, selected
as they are for their extreme hostility and
vindictive hatred of Republicans. black or
white therefore, be it ..-
Resotred, That we, the Republican people
of Richmond, III mass meeting assembled, do
most earnestly pray and beseech the Con-
gress OF the United States to pass the bill
introduced by Mr.. Porter, confident that it
Will go far to secure and maintain the rights
and Liberties of the people, and prove sub
servient to the best interests of the nation.
ReSOlred, That in Senator Lewis the nation
and the people of the South have tried and
true friend and representative, and we here
express the heartfelt gratitude of the Repub-
lican party of Virginia in warmly thanking
him for his noble, patriotic, and self-sacrific-
ing devotion to the principles of that party,
and ask that the highest consideration be
shown him by its true friends everywhere.
Whereas Hon. Charles H. Porter has de-
monstrated his fidelity to principle and great
ability to sustain and secure popular rights
and justice to the laboring people of Virginia
rendered him an object of fear and unrea-
sonably blind hatred to the Conservative or
Democratic party-as evidenced by their in
famous gerrymandering of the Third Congress
sional District in a way TO defeat him and
defraud the people of just representation /;

A very respectable audience assembled last
night in the parlor of the Congregational
church to hear the lecture of D. Augustus
Straker, on the subject of "Capital, Labor,
and Industry" Mr.. Straker is a colored
graduate of Howard University Law Depart
ment, and is an easy and distinct speaker.
Rev. S. Martin, said the speaker, in his
Exeter Hall discouses some years ago, re-
marked that the earth is q vast magazine
Of materials, and man is an artisan placed in
the midst of these stores to discover their
uses and to appropriate them" From this
We gather that the exclusive right Of any por-
ton of the earth by one man to the exclusion
of another is foreign to, and at variance with,
Gods design.
Yet to-day we find portion of mankind in
the possession and enjoyment of luxurious
ease in their palatial mansions, while others
are in the most beggarly condition, deprived
not only of the comforts, but of the common
necessaries of human existence. How is il

and capital are inharmoniously at work.

1t is the exercise Of intellectual skill or other

IN others it is beginnings SMALL It is to
be seen in words, in language, in science, in
art, in religion. Every Kind of government

potism, let us have government of brother

"A witness of a recent shooting affray in
Memphis, Tennessee, utterly refused to tes-
tify in the case and was committed to Jail for
contempt of court. His testimony had once,
when at college, been the means of hanging
young friend unjustly. Kneeling beside
the dishonored corpse Of his roommate he
"took solemn oath never again to testify
in any case where his testimony might possi-
bly, cause the extreme penalty of the law to
be inflicted on any person." Rather than
break this oath he will remain in Jail for life.

himself Dictator of Baden, and when over

Another Important Triumph

I'm Connecticut

The day for wooden nutmegs and all other
fraudulent devices has passed in Connecticut.
SEIZURE and TRUaBULL have found no bet
ter market for their miserable wares in that
State than they did in New Hampshire. The
people have spurned the whole concern and
rendered their verdict for GRANT and Repub-
licanism with an emphasis that neither they
nor the Democracy in whose service they are
fighting can mistake its purport. Governor
JEWELL has been reelected by majority
over all other candidates-the Democratic,
Labor Reform, and Temperance-and the
Republicans have an overwhelming majority
in both houses of the Legislature. AS the
policy Of GRANTS administration was made
direct issue during the canvass, this result
is an approval of it by the people, and de-
clai alton in favor Of his denomination.

Pile, once held 50 dear by the Church within
the bounds of the old Baltimore Conference,
would no longer be forgotten by her in their
present peculiar circumstances. The APP
plause which followed the speakers faithful
words showed that the Conference and audi
ence were in close sympathy with him.
The Rev. James Brown succeeded DIR. Bust
in an earnest speech, in which he claimed
the colored population of Maryland as the
inheritance of the Methodist Church, and said
they belonged to her by virtue of a century
of labors by the fathers of the Church. He
declared the Conference must not abandon
them now, nor let any other denomination
take them from US, and ardently appealed to
his brethren to come at once to the rescue.
DR.. Brown gave an account of what WAS
doing by the Church for the education of
colored ministers in Baltimore, much to the
surprise of many. His remarks were also
applauded by the audience.
The Rev. DIR. Newman, Chaplain to the
United States Senate, and late incumbent of
the Metropolitan (Methodist) Cathedral at
