gates are in attendance on the colored politi-
cal State convention. The chairman advised
adherence to the republican party.
Permanent organization was effected. with
Chas. NJ. Robinson as President Robinson
made an address. in which he showed how
greatly indebted the colored man is to the
republican party, still he maintained that
without the efforts of the colored man in the
late war, the army of the Union would not
have been successful.
The afternoon session was addressed by
Gen. Fitzpatrick and Rev. J. Bogswell The
latter commented severely on the course of
the republicans toward the negroes. The
platform adopted asserts they are republicans,
and the republicans are the only organization
through which they can secure their political
and civil rights, and the success Of that party
depends upon the colored vote: endorses the
Narional republican nominations; disap-
proves the State act disban6ing the colored
regiment; recommends the consideration of
establishing a colored educational fund:
pledges material aid To the Southern fugitives
to the West; recommends an address to the
colored people To call National convention:

tee, that representative white republicans
make thorough canvass of the South, and
that representative colored republicans sup
ply their places in the North. State and
other committees were appointed, and the
