important CONVENTION.

The recent Equal Rights con-
vention which was held in Macon,
Ga, last month was very signifi-
cant aud may be productive of
much good to the whole South
land, where the bone and sinew
of the Negroes live. There were
more than $50 delegates repre-
senting every business industry
and all trades of every section Of
that state.
The calling of this convention
was done by that able versatile
writer, Mr.. w. ]. White, editor
of the Georgia Baptist. Among
the distinguished men present
and to speak were Bishop H. M.
Turner, Bishop r: S. Williams,
Rev. w. Decker Johnson, DR.. w.
o. Emory, Hon. Judson W.
Lyons, Rev. P. J. Bryant, Prof.
w. E. B. Dubois. There were
many good strong resolution
passed. That part pertaining to
their disfranchisement we print
in full, as it is a very sound in
disputable and logical, and will
no doubt make friends for the
enfranchised:
1--WE do not deny that some Of
us are not yet fit for the ballot,
but we do affirm that the majority
of us are tit-tit by growing IN
telligence, our ownership Of prop
erty and our conservative law
abiding tendencies-and in any
case certainly disfranchisemeut
and oppression will not increase
our fitness, nor will they settle
the race problem. The right to
vote is in itself an education, and
if Georgia had taken as nluch
time and trouble to fit us for po-
liticsl responsibility as she has in
denying us our rights, she would
have a safer aud saner electorate
than that which.is today swaying
her by appeals to her worst pass
ions. Voteless working men are
slaves, without the defense of a
ballot we stand naked to our enc
mics, the helpless victims of jeal-
ousy and hate, subjected to and
humiliated by an unreasoning
caste spirit, which grows by
what it feeds upon. If we are
good enough to be represented by
five Georgia congressman in the
councils of the Nation, we are
surely good enough to choose
representatives; and if we are not
good enough to be represented,
at least as human beings, we are
too good to be nisrepresented by
our enemies. We ask of this
nation therefore the enforcement
Of the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments"
