h singular .degrpe in the contentibn,
ivbich was held here yesterday for the
purpose of electing delegates to th6
Natidbl Colored People's Conven.
tion to be held in New Orleans on thb
td of April.
What nity be the objects of the
proposed Codveihtioi, it ?s diflicult to
say, as th. colofed people are to day
in tile hnjoymeit of more rights, civil
and political; thgt many of the white
imen of the South. At any iate tbe
people see-m to take no great intefest
in the matter, and trbm what tada.
ired yesterday it in More than
robable that the Convention is Mdere
yapolitical dodge gotten up by a
few pdliti6idn fot the purpose of fdr
thering their own individdal ends.
About one-thid of the State

And when the call of delegates was

those were all, or' vei-y inearly M1l,

Th6 ponvention assembled in the

Aeutgaant-Governor Ransler, 'who
*as disc th'e. President of the South
enStatef Colored Convention, which
VDet baurY fI'a year, made a short
elp606h in 96iioh he said :
He belloved that the udtion of the
Convention of New (Jrloans could re
Edilt in nothing but good to all classes,
Amad plarticularly to the colored race.
T rowere he said important inter
6sts relative to natioinal aff.iire t hat
iftust be considered therd' amHd acted

the general pojIitel tuVrmoil, and
these mattors should be tonsidered
in a .tenperate and diepassioate
inanner; .d much as was depending~
$lpon she.r.esult, of the ,aecien &f the
Convention'. These views skuld g.ov~

twind that the pation knew the edigred
eople were here, and that it,. wo~uld
unow when.theo metin New Orleans;
lpow ,th.e psion .the noIred people

This debate was soop dwindled dowr
into a wrangle, and finally dveloped
strong symptoms of a firat.class row

to put a colored man in the Cabinet
of the United States; that there wat
no tther race-Irish or Diit6h-tkum

Finally after a long and apparent

' All these gentleman being office

will have some influenci with the

Jamison or Mobley or some of our

The Washington correspondent of
the New York Tribune assorts that
the South Carolina delegation to the
Philadelphia Convention is not in
structed to vote for Grant. le says
that a colored member of the delega
tion has,expressed great dissatisfaction
at the course of the President in re
taining in office In that State persons
who have interfered in State and
loail "politics in such a barefaced
manner that their removal has been
asked for by the almost uunnimuous
voice of the Republican party, as ex.
pressed through the committees and
bontetitions. General Grant has
6v6h no attention to the repeated
requests for the removal of these
officers.
The Rbpublicans of South Carolina
who ai-a opposed to iPederal interfor
en86 in lobai affairs need hot hope to
defkt tii renonination of Grant by
the Philidelphia Convention. If the*y
i1sh to.she the. reign.of robbery and
borrupilon li National and State gov

in cOnfirmation of some statements

der States are 'd pidl losing a aluable
part of the poptilation. And here to.
day we copy from the Memphis Ap.
peal a statement which odght to bom
pel the thoughtful consideration of
our Legislature. Oidr cotemporary
says:
"Every train of cars froni the Et
brings negroes to the West and Souith.
'their destination io the lo* country
of the M isssisppi and Arkansas.
T he colored popul ition ouri4usly gravi.
tate towardu the black lands-the

nant. Natural laws will finally annul
those of Congress, the spirit and
purpose of all which are embodied in
Sumner's pending Civil Rights' bill,
By processes which Congressioial
legislation may never 6"ntrdl the
segregation df rae is effeoted, and
there was a basis of sound philosophy
in the proposition of the Mississippi
Congressional capet-bagger,, who
dreamed vaguely of the credtion by
law of another Africa on America"
There is no doubt tlit this move
mont grows broader and deeper every
day. It is boutrollod by inexorable
laws, and, as we cannot conteract
these, why not make some rational
endeavor to scoure white people fr6m
the old world I
To the States above named bein
partially abandoned, may be added
the upper and rolling sections of
South Caioling, Georgia, Alabama,
and parts ot MihWisbippi, which are
adapted to "white" farming, horticul
ture, pnd manufacturing, in all their
varieties.
To what may belthe politiovdLrdsuitg
from "the segregation of race," allud
ed to by the Memphis Avalanche,
from the huddling of the negroes into
distinot communities at the South, w6
will not here advert. But In an in.
dustrial view it is our duty to iark
their design and effort to colonise
themselves upon, and to monopolize
the alluvial and warmer portions of
he Southern States.
It may be generally assumed that
when the negro emigrant goes out, the
white immigrant will go in.
The portions of the South being
thus depopulated of their old cla,:s of
laborers, prosent a moot inviting field
to immigrants and settlers of superior
qualifications and race. There lands
are cheap, yet good, farms ready for
occupation, society matured and kind
and labor high.-N. Y. Suth.
