Besides the delegates, there were a large number of spectators present, the hall being filled. Mr. Zeph. Jones, of the Thirteenth district, called convention to order, and Mr. Jesse B. Wilson, of the Fifteenth district, w: elected temporary chairman, and Joseph Bradley, Jr., secretary. A committes on pei manent organization was selected, who ina fe minutes submitted the name of Col. James Berret for president, and those of J. H. Bra’ ley, Jr., and I. Fenwick Young as secretari aud they were unanimously elected. REMARKS OF COL. BERRET. Col. Berret, on taking the chair, remarked that for the first time in the history of the capital they had met in convention to perform a higher duty, and to execute a more sacred trust than they had ever been called upon to discharge betore. He predicted that this convention wouid secure for its nominee a triumphant election at the polls. Such a result would be hailed throughout the length an‘! breadth ot the land a8 anvther sulemn proclamation that the old cemocratic and conservative purty, nui for 2 sake «f office, but forthe love of countiy, about to bring the government back to that pure ard healthful condition which characte ized and made illastrious the period of t Fathers of the Republic. ‘The roll of de’egates was cal'ed and a few vacancies weve filled. Col. Jehiel Brooks, as the first delegate on the Toll, and probably the oldest man pre-ent, asked to submit as the candidate tor Delegate the pame of Mr. Richard T. Meirick. (| Appiaase.; Mr. J. F. Ennis moved that a commitiee on p'stform be arpointed; which was agreed to. A commitiee of one from each district was thereopon appointed, and ret:red.

But weearnestly depre- cate as unjust and unwise the principles avowed by the Territorial government, that these schools should be organized “without distinction or dis- crimination as to race or color,” believing that a forced union of white and colored children in the public schools will produce irritation, ani- mosities and d:sorder between the children heer] destroy @ system of ‘That the administration of the Territorial gov- ernment of this District should be free trom the control of partisan prejudices and sympa. thies, and that the avowal of Governor Cooke, made to the radical convention in this city,on the 7th day of the present month, ‘that the Ter- ritorial government should be administered in the interest of the republican party, who was not a tried republican should hold office thereunder,’ imperatively demands of all democratic and conservative citizens that they unite to oppose and defeat the mischievous schemes to eacritice the true interests of the people to a pelitical party, and thereby de; the dignity of the local’ government of the national capital.

Ju Moore moved the 3; intment of = comunittee of three to wait on Mr. Merrick and inform Lim of his nomination, and invite bim to the contention; carried, and Messrs. Moore, Ennis, and Fendall were appointed. After ashort absence, the committee returned with Mr. Merrick, who was received with cheers. SPEECH OF MR. MERRICK. ing introduced to the convention by Col. Berret, Mr. Merrick addressed ihe conyeution at length—the resolutions being first read for his information. at his own request. He returned bis thanks for the compliment paid him by the nomination, accepted the position on form, which he heartily endorsed. id that there was on ed a genuine accord with that resolution which sa; ‘is Die- trict should be free from tice.

[Appiaase |} je wished it to be distinctly understood that recognizing the rights of all men as see under the Censtitution of the United States And its amendments, he should favor uo _move- ment contempisting & distarbance of those guaranteed to the colored race. He knew that th some persons who are impressed with bly just conviction that the fifteenth article of amendment to the Constitution was adopted through unfair, unjust and violent means, and does not now properly constitate a rt of the organic law of the nation. For imeelf, he dealt with the present, not with the past; with things as he found them, not as he would make them. He found that amendment in the Constitution, duly certified as part of the instrument. There let it remain undistarbed. Whatever wrong may have been perpetrated by the measures adopted to secure its ratification; whatever unfair and urjist and irregular means ve been resorted to by its advocates, it has now been accepted and acted under by the people of the country, acd sould not be interfered with, It was @ paramount doty now to see to it that the House of Delegates was made up of men who would be faihful watchers over the council, and who would omit no opportunity to vindicate the rights of the people.

Cooke, standing by bim-elf, alone with his own party frie and look ng (o the interests of his party ex. sively, would bave little or no influence. secure the best good of all the people he mast appeal to the rer son of both parties, and not to the prejudices of one. If he (Mr. Merrick) was elected to Congress, and he would be, he would combine and use hia mtluence there to assist the Governor in securing a fair hearing for all mersures that promised beneticial results to this District. He would have no vots, but he would be a faithful snd vigilant advo ate. He wonld expound end enforce the Just and legal rights of the Di trict, and maintain all that jas! demanded. It would be his effort to’ m: in Congress friends from both parties the District, assailing no one, but con- tributing harmony and good will. The re- publican party came into power in March, 1861. Its power departed in March, 1871. Bat each race has a right to regulate for itself its social relations with the other, and any attempt to coerce by legislative authority the admixture of the races is an outrage upon both, and a violation of the established order of pature and society, The white and colored Taces are distinct. Why they are s0—why the Creator made one man black and the other white—we know not; but the fact is apparent and the distinction manifest. ‘Che question is not one of eupert fertority, but of difference only. “To ar to declare inferiority in eithe draw the illogical sequence of inieriority from difference oniy.” Entertaining these opinions, he could not consent to the coerced admixture of white and colored children in the public echools of the country. [Applaus=.] in the oes age of their resolution, such a Seheme would retard the education and tend to the demora}ization of the children of both of the races—beget animosities, dissension and d's- cord in the institution, and end in the final de- struction of the system of public schools. He did not believe the better class of colored citi- zens desire the adoption of such a measure, and that they appreciate that their interest would be better subserved by the distribu.ion of the fund dedicated to educational purposes in the generous manner proposed in the retolu- tion they had adopted, than by anv such empi- rical experiment as that proposed by the radical party of this District. Neither did he believe that gentlemen, whom the adventitious circum- stances of private tortune have lifted above the necessity ot coming. i5 direct contact with the expe:iment in its ct application, would be 80 ready to recommend it to the families of others if they bad to experience its beneficent operation in their awn families. [Cries of “That's 2.) It is very well for men who are litted up by the chances of fortune and the ac- cumulation of wealth, to look with philosophi- cal indifference upon the practical working of a principle the enunciation of which may ard the accomplishment of party purposes, when it is to be experiences by others than themselves; bat if they, in the varying changes of life, should be brought within the range of its practical opera- tion, there would be a singular and rapid change of heart and laudable modification of sentiment. (Laughter.| It was on these general principles that he should conduct the campaign and do all he could to avoid party strife and bitterness. It would be his duty, when elected, to endeavor to in- culeate throughout the country, by discussions in Congress on questions connected with their interests, a truer appreciation of this great po- litical metropohs on the part of the people of country. After expressing the opinion that the Ameri- «an capital will pot be removed from this city, on account of the memories which cluster around it, he closed amid vocife~ous cheering. The convention thon adjourned with cheers for their candidate and t! platform. —— ee THE CELEERATED Concord grape can be grown to the greatest perfection in this vicinity. as has been #0 well proven by Mr. K.
