The COlOred Convention.

II the Colored Convention at
Louisville would really benefit the
negro race, it will do three things:
First:-It will endorse or recog'
nize no political party whatever, and
in no manner or form commit the
colored race to the support OF any.
The colored people are too widely
scattered, too numerous, too diverse
in their various interests to have q
single and common political interest.
It would be as preposterous for them
to declare in q race convention for q
particular party as for . congrega-
ton Of the white people of the coun-
try similarly met to coneult about
the great ends Of the Caucasian
race, to declare for the Republican
party and Grant for . third term.
The convention should simply and
unmistakably declare for individual
political independence, and guarantee
to each colored man in the Union
who will pursue in politics, the
couree bis convictions dictate, the
respect and moral support OF his
race from Maine to Mexico.
Secopd:-The convention should
avoid the silly, inans and stultifying
arrogance Of asserting q useless and
anxious equality with the whites in
matters which really amount to moth.
ing. For instance,-It is silly to
resolve that Negro should spelt with
a big N. 1t is inane to resolve that
colored and white should travel in
the same cars, and it is stultifying
arrogance to resolve that colored and
white children should be educated
in the same schools. Grammar will
settle how Negro should be spelled,
and if equally respectable cars and
equally good schools are furnished,
black and white separately-common
sense and self-respect should be sat
is6ed. Such belittling snatches af-
ter false elevation are unworthy of q
united race, gravely and wisely con-
sidering the best means 10 hsrmo-
NOUS progress among Its surround
ing contemporaries.
Third:-The convention should as
a practical tact, OF prime necessity
as key to the true condition Of the
race and the best plan for its devel-
opments, recognize the relative stu
alton of the white and colored race.
It should note the fact thst the large
mass Of Negroes are largely depend
ent on tho whites, and counsel the
race in general that their best and
most powerful friends are, or can be,
their white neighbors who have dai-
ly power to aid them in Q way in
which no distant well wishsrs how
ever ardent, can possibly be able to
do. It should eunciate it as q prin-
ciple to guide the colored people of
the South to progress. that their in
political. social and indus
trirl lie naturally with their white
fellow citizens at home, and that the
most speedy and successful way in

The Democrats Of Ohio are trying
to defeat Senator Pendleton's reelec-
tion. Senator Pendleton is the au.
thor Of civil service reform, for this
cause, We suppose, the Democrats
want him defeated. Actions speak
palmer than words. They clamor
for reformation, but when one Of
their number leads the van they seek
to defeat him. They might save
themselves that trouble 40 the Re
publicans will do that job for them.
