Negroes to Meet i'll Conference at
charlottesville.

The colored Republicans Of Virginia are
arranging for conference at Charlottes-
vile, on August 22d, to take steps looking
to rallying the black vote against the pro-
position TO disfranchise the negro.
The following circular letter has been
sent broadcast to colored people through
out the State.
We. the undersigned citizens of Virginia,
in view Of the recent call for a constitu-
ionai convention in this State. the pro-
motors OF which proclaim that the chief
end in view is 10 curtail the vote Of the
colored citizen without interfering with
that of the white man, notwithstanding
he may possess no more Of the requisites
of exercising the elective franchise than
his black heighbor, feel that we should
confer as to our duty in this matter, ana,
in d collective way, at least let our neigh
hors know how we feel the injustice of
the act proposed, after all the years OF
toll and labor we have spent in helping
TO build up the waste places OF the old
Commonwealth, by telling her forests
building her railroads, eXcavating her
canals. identifying her cities and filling
the soil. Therefore, we invite at least
five persons from each county in the State
to meet in conference in the city of Char
lottesyille on Wednesday. August 22d, 1860,
at i NJ, to confer in regard to this matter
and do such other things as our interests
may demand.
We ask all persons who will attend this
conference 10 write and send their names,
on or before August 18th, TO Mr.. Robert
Cox, No 900 Eighth Street, I.ynchburg.
Va, so that we may know whom to expect
and have them met and properly cared for
during their visit to the city. We hope
to Ste our best men from every walk of
life at this gathering, so that our con-
clusiors may be in every respect repre-
sentative Of the races Intellectual and
moral worth.
