ii. difficult for us to live in the land
OF our birth, is largely traceable to
mlsmanagement by Federal office-holders in our
methods, and so to demean ourselves as to make
friends of those whose interests are identical in
every way with our own. We therefore appeal
TO the c0lored people of our native State to look
well TO the altered conditions of affairs. and in
future make such political alliances as will most
advance our interests educa6onally. financially
throughout the broad limits of this common
wealth general disposition on the part of the
Whlte people TO accord us all our rights before
the law, and TO meet US heartily in every adj
vance we make for the uphoiding of our people.
1t behooves us, then, to so use our ballots
that we may drive out all discordant ele-
hlents IN virginia, whether they be headed
by natives or aliens of the State. We also con-
denim the raising of a race issue by any class of
men who essay TO lead the masses because it
can do nothing but prove detrimental to our
hearty cooperation of our people in Virginia to
the success of our movement. We have cause
to be thankful for the hberality of the present
Natlonal Administration to our people in the
South. We also believe that our relations to the
State debt are such as to justify us in hoping
that Virginia will be relieved from her present
financial embarrassment by aid from the Fed
eral Government, which viii enable her better
to provide for all the material interests of her
citizens, and brihg about that universal good
feeling which ought to exist between the two
races.
The address was adopted, and the Con-
vention adjourned sine die.

The Seventh Regiment and the Grand
Army Encampment.
New YORK, September 30th-'The re-
ports in the newspapers, SAID a Captain in
! the Seventh Regiment, that our regiment
will attend the annual encampment of the
Grand Army OF The Republic at San Fran

Large numbers of the veterans belonging
to the regiment would be delighted to nave
the organization. or even a part Of it, come
ont, but the trip is impracticable. X IS
true that these veterans would contribute
