WE wish we could join in the view
taken of the recent Negro Convention
by some of our cotemporaries-that it
was run by set of demagogues who
do not reflect the wishes of their race.
Our observation has been that such
characters are most prone to pander
to existing prejudices, and it is not
improbable that the negro demagogue
understands negro nature about as
well as any white observer, The fol-
lowing from the Memphis Avalanche of
Wednesday indicates that the leaven is
still working:
A meeting of colored men was held
last evening in the Pole Bearers Hall
to ratify the action of the late conven-
ton at Nashville, in requesting Con-
gress to pass Summers civil rights bill.
Speeches were made by Edward Shaw,
j. a. Thompson, Esq, h. n. Rankin
and J. Thomas approving of the action
of the convention. A resolution to
that effect introduced by Squire
Thompson was adopted unanimously.
