TERRE HAUTE, IND, August S.-The con.
yention Of colored men Of Indiana con-
tinued its session here yesterday. j. Nichols
of Vonderburg county, was elected presi-
dent About fifty delegates were present
A resolution was adopted urging the col
orcd people Of the South TO flee from there
and come North. Measures were proposed
and adopted TO induce them to come to In
diana, and that they shall be assisted in
transportation, finding OF homes, and en-
pIoymcut. Nothing political was specially
discussed, but it was very evident that they
are devoted to the Republican party, and
wish to have all their people stand solidly
Republican. They resolved to urge the re-
peal Of the existing State laws relative to
inter-marriage OF the white and black races.
The emigration scheme is the most impor-
tant and principal feature OF the convcn-
ton. and probably will lead to important
political results in this State.
