Vhite, of North Carolina, had not been recog- nized and accredited @ seat in the convention as delegate. Mr. Arnold, of N.C., eaid this Rev. Mr. White had been sent from the Lord knows why inte his district and for what purpose he did not know: but he did know that he had been preach- ing secession to the colored people from the a white man in place of a colored one to Congress. He wanted to know what right men from New York, Mary- land, and other buzzards nests have to inter- fere with affairs in hiestate. North Carolina knows whatkhe wants. Don’t give us White— North Carolina knows something. [Great ap- plause.) Mr. Perry's motion was icst. BUSINESS. A resolution was adopted that the delegates be requested to wait upon their representatives in Congrese and urge upon them the passage of number of memorials and resolutions Mr. Meiord, of Vi submitted resolution of tical seciety; which was adopted. An en, ed eopy of the resolution pi by the | lature of South Carolina, indorsifg the Sumner civil rights bill, was read and ordered to be spread on the minutes. Mr. Ranster, of S. C., from the committee ou civil rights, re @ series of resolutions, pre- faced with a length: mble, reciting the disabilities under which the colored people of this country are suffering. The last resolution is “that we earnestly petition the Congress of the United States, representing as it does the two great political parties, being committed, as they are, to the doctrine of civil rights, to pass at the earliest practical moment, in the interest humanity, the civil rights bill ‘ow pending inthe United States Senate, and known as Senate bill No.1, or some equally | comprehensiza and just measure.’ ‘The resolutions were discussed at some length, | District, making The convention To-day’s Proceedings.

Taking the sentiments of the Declara- tion of Independence as their premises was all He had been told by white as white republicans that their support would be given towards equal tights. He contrasted the condition of the col- ored people now with what it was ten years ago. Proscription on account of color is fast pass- ing away, and im their future demands they should not — how it had been in the past, and what bad already been done for them. He thought the signs of the times were that there was danger of the colored people overdoing it in the way of demands. He detested assumption and arrogance, he hoped the future proceedings of the convention would be of such a character as would com- mand the respect of our national legislature. Let no measures be adopted or papers sent oat which would injure their cause. In reference to himself, he desired to say that it had been the province of the democratic and liberal re- publican press of the country to write him down; toa certain extent this had been done by the republican newspapers. The attacks were generally of @ personal natare. He admitted ad been a rather wild bog, and prob- ably had given offence in his zeal for elevating his race. The truth is, he had been playing second fiddle down in hia state, and had finally concluded to doit no longer. His constituents ate, @ position he meant to honor. FINANCIAL. On the reassembting of the convention, the chairman of the finance committee cailed at- tention to the fact that there was a debt of $200 as current expenses of the convention, and $100 of it was still wanting. The Arkansas del- egation here asked leave to withdraw, as they were obliged to leave for their homes. Some time was =e in collecting funds to pay the expenses of the convention, and some dis- satisfaction was manifested at the manage- ment and at the amount required. Some hints were thrown out that money had been collected which had not been accounted for, wh'ch caused considerable excitement, and finally the whole rred back tothe fina 7“ com- prepare a list of e — in the form of an itemized bill. ‘he committee on address to Congress and the American people made a report; which was adopted. ——.
