I A W.?IL FROM TH/" COLORED BROTHES.-The New Ycrb Globe, published by colored men, in New j York city, has attracted some stten-1 tion, owing to the novelty of the un ! der taking and its surroundings. The ! foi lowing is taken from a recant issue:1 "Pennsylvania's colored population of S5.535 is a? completely ignored by j the politicians as if it did not con tain 30,000 colored voters, while tho colored population of" New York, J numbering about 65,000 sculn, with H \ i voting force of 25,000, enters no more into the calculation of politicians here than if it was a disfranchised element. Massachusetts Is the only one of these States, ar far as we ! know, where a colored man has been I honored with a seat in the Legisla- j ture.
