CIVIL RIGHTS DISCUSSED. ‘THE COURTS. Macs Meeting of Colored Citizens. CTROUIT COURT. Jucre Cartier ADDEESERS BY PERATOR WILSON ABD OTHBES— A MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS ADOPTED—TEB | COURSE OF THE PRESIDENT CRITICIZED. ‘The mass meeting of colored citizens at the 1W5th-street Presbyterian church last evemng, to consider the civil rights question, was largely attended by minent colored men. Tne | was called to order about 7 o'clock, by Mr. T. Downing, on whose motion THE FOLLOWING OSFICERS WERS BLECTED: it; John A. Gray, Wm ..N. Bowen, William B. A. Wor 4. 7. ‘Augusta, M. Ds John H.

Matthews, W. O.Wagoner, and F. Douglass, jr., eecretaries. ‘Mr. Purvis, on taking the chair, said the meeting was held for A TWO FOLD PURrOsE, for the reiief of the father of the late Osborn P. Anderson, the last of the John Brown raiders, and second, to discass the subject of civil rights. He alluded tothe raid as leading to the struggte which resultcd in the emancipation of four milion colored men. He used the term men, for women were not yet emancipated, and he wished it understood that he was in favor of women’s rights, as they are called. [Applause.} He then suggested that be: the meetii to discuss civil ir. Anderson to remove the re- mains of bit son to the family burial grouud in Miekeen eae, meds liberal contri: a ses were m1 eral contri- pore ‘py Geena Downing, mpson, Bishop Green, Mary Aun Shadd Car, and a collection was taken ap. While Colonel Hinton was speaking, Senator Wilaon, THE VICE PRRSIDENT-ELECT, entered the room and was reveived with loud and continued applause. The chairman, Mc. Purvis, introduced the vice president-elect a» an abolitionist of forty years standing. General Wilson was recetved with applaace, and said he only wished the kind words of the chairman were well-deserved and he had mores come te the meeting to show that he was still deeply” interested in the cause to which for forty years be had given bis head, heart and hand. He uu- derstood that this meeting was in furtherance ot the cause of civil rights. During the cam- be had spoken at 151 meetin, than 600,000 persons, and in those speeches he had expressed his beliet in the perfect equalt- ty of all men and the duty of the nation to make that principle a living reality, and all whom he had met agreed with him. He had come out of the campaign with the conviction that itis their duty to do allin their power py their pledges, snd, eir lives, to make all men too, The administration, which will be inaugurated on the fourth of March next, believes in this principle. He did not know that there was any need of agitating the question, for about all of them at the Capitol were pretty well pledged to it. After all the pro: recently made he did not anticipate seeing avy lagging behind, but the issues of the war would be carried out. If any- thing should excite the respect of even those opponents, it was the manner in which the co- ored people of the land had conducted them- selves. He hoped they would all labor on and struggle, 80 as to destroy the prejudices and passions which they had encountered, and that we should yet have not only in law, but in re- ality, a bere | which respects humanity. What little intluefi®e he bad by voice or vote should be given to the cause in which he had so long engaged, for he believed that every man, white or black, ought to be willing to grant to others the privileges he enjoyed himself. [Applause.] A LETTER FROM SENATOR SUMNER was read, expressive of his regrets at not being able to attend the meeting, and expressive of his most hearty sympathy with its objects. | Ap- plaure.} Mr. Downing, from the committee on RESOLUTIONS, reported a se! That we enforce b propriate legislation in accurd- ance with the constijution, and in the interest of freedom, respect fur our civil and political Tights as citizens of the United States when a governmem, based on the equ. all and demanding of ali equal allegiance, like all for violation of its laws, assnuncs to educate the , it should not be as classes, not invidiously, not with any proscrib- ing arrangements tending to degrade one class of citizens in the estimation of another; but in schools where every child may strive beside his fellow tor bonorable education, with the i sciousness that be is mot regarded by govern- ment regu’ation because of his race, or color, or tor any other accidental circumstance as unfit to associate with any other child of the com- monweaith. That inasmuch as the,constitution specifically declares that all persons are en- titled to an impartial jury, it is therefore the legitimate right of Congress to make such appropriate legislation as will secure all sons the benefit of this just and wise provision. ‘That that is not an impartial jury which is con- stituted to the exclusion of any person ou ac- count of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. That our right to enjoy the privi- fi ed by common carriers and public inns is #0 clearly admitted to common law, aud as our constitation forbids any discrimination baced on color, race, or previoua conditiou of servitude in the enjoyment of the rights and Lon ym gow citizens, is 30 well known, we do not feel that more than the mere citation to those disposed to deal justiy by us of the fact that we are discriminated against becaus? of our race and color by i: epers and by com- suse the needed legislation to gecure us against the injustice. That while we hold it asa principle that no one of our right#, however trivial, should be lon Congress to S disregarded with impunity because it sets an example for a disregard of an oter, even it may be to the forcing into our social circles those we would not have there—anoutrago we would oppose with ferce—still we ave promi- nence to the fa~t that we are proscribed in the management of public institutions, and in the impanneling of foe and that we desire appropriate legisiat by Congress to secure us m these rights, as well as in others outraged That the frequent assertions made in evasion of our civ:l rights secared ua, to the effect that we ask legisiation in disregard of domiciliary 8 are false, we emphatically deny them. T the thanks of the colered people of the n: tion are due the administration for its just a knowledgment of all we demand of Congress, as exhibited in the poble defense of the Cadet Conyers, yy: as it does, a commenda- ble readiness on the partof President Grant and aa saree to respect owe rights, which we pray Congress to emulate by ily granting our prayer to be ted in our rights, ‘That our ks are eminently due to Hon. Charles Sumner and Hon. Henry Wilson for their earn- est and persistent adhesion to the [a princi- ples of justice and equality, which have distin- them and singled them out as the great champions of impartial justice to all men. Thateach vote cast by the members of Con- gress who favored a recognition of our rights, and the needed legislation to cause these rights to be respected in the land, is gratefully remom- bered by us.” Mr. Downing also submitted the draft of A MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS, framed in the same spirit as that which per- vades the resolutions, protesting as mén and Americans against the continuance of proscrip- tion. Keference is made to the principle of equality for all before the law as affirmed at the late national conventions at Philadelphia, Baltimore and Cincinnati; and it is asked:—“In the face of these pledges, are we to be outraged much longer? Shall we distrast? The rights we ask to be nationally protected in are nil: secured to us in some portions of the | tions as moral, as intelligent, and iu ov ner as high-toned as any other—with ory no evil consequences, without opposition.

Mr. P. H. Murray offered as an additional res- that we have full faith in the sympathy by Gen.
