Recently. a State Convection Of
representative colored men assembled
in Baltimore and adopted "aa Ad.
dress" of which the following 10 q sy-
nopsis:
The address ssks the Legislature to
strike out the words white and negro
from the laws of the State wherever
they occur. Il also asks that at least
one school 10 every county be opened
for ten months Of the year for both
white and coIored children that all
children between 6 and 20 years Of
age be admitted into any public school
whose studies they are capable Of pur-
suing; that there shall be one or
more schools in each election district
where colored persons between 6 and
90 years may be instructed, and from
which no one shall be exclcded; that
. common fund be appropriated &C.
cording to the respective population
Of the white and colored people; that
the entire law which prohibits the
marriage of q white person and ne
gro. or defendant of q negro TO the
third generation, be repealed /; that
colored youths Of both sexes be nd
mitted TO the State Normal School
and the Maryland Agricultural Col.
lege; that the Legislature be asked
t. erase all unjust discrimination and
pass a civil rights bill that colored
teachers be employed for colorsd
schools.
In sectionslwhere the colored popu.
lation is too small TO Justify the es.
tablishment Of schools COR the colored
children. they ask that the doors Of
the schools already in existence for
white children be opened to them.
As the large majority Of the repub.
lican party Of Maryland is made ur
OF colored voters it is to be presumed
that the above is theirs and their par.
ty's creed. The Convention was well
attended, Baltimore City and many Of
the counties being represented.
