Meeting OF COlored Voters :. They
Reject Summers Advice. < =

'ONcIENATT, August 16.-Ave larg
meeting Of colored people was held 10
nightat Greenwood Hall, to express thei
sentiments on Senator Summers letter
All Of the seats and standing room in IN
hall were occupied 'speec6eswere mad
by Peter Il. Clarke and several others
The following resolutions were adopted
WHEREAS, Hon. Charles Sumner, wht
for more than twenty years has ably anC
eloquently advocated equal rights and
contributed largely towards the Liberation
and entranchisement OF the colored race
has published q letter, In which he advise,
the coloted voters Of the country TO sup
port OF the coming Presidential election
Horace Greeley, the standard bearer o.
the Democratic party; therefore
ReSoIUed BY tie c0lored people in mas
meeting dssensbLsd, That while we unhesi-
tatingly acknowledge the valuable ser
vices rendered our race by Senator Sum
ner and our heartfelt thanks for those ser.
vices, we cannot accept his advice to as.
stst in placing In power a party which
has ever been our enemy, which fought
through four long bloody years to tear
assunder this Union for the purpose of es.
tablishing an independent conIederacy
with human slavery for its corner stone.
ReS0Ered That we are enthusiastically
in favor Of the reelection OF President
Grant, the standard bearer of the Repub.
lican party, the party which has always
stood and still continues to stand by the
rights Of the colored man.
RsSotued That the surest way To main
tain law and order throughout the late
rebellious States and bring about recon-
ciliation between the North and South Is
by continuing the Republican party in
power, and for the accomplishment Of
these ends We pledge ourselves TO labor
zealously for the election Of Grant and
Wilson.
ReSOlUed, That If we were to refuse to
sustain the Republican party in this, its
first national contest since the ballot has
been put in our hands, we would not only
prove ourselves ungrateful and unworthy
OF the rights We now enjoy, but would
offer an insult to the memory OF the thirty
thousand Iblack soldiers, who with thou
sands Of white patriots died, that this
country might live.
