NEW ORLEANS, April 13, 1872, He was cieven ©’clock this moraing before the @elogates'to the Colored Convention commenced @ssembling at the hall, All werein bigh spirits at She armval in the city of Fred Douglass and his son, ‘wko are depended upon to give éclat and consist. emcy to the proceedings. The crowd of spectators was the largest of the session, there being a great @erioxity among ali classes of citizens, both ‘waite and black, to see and hear Douglass. ‘@n bis-entrance at-twelve o'clock he was received ‘vith applause, and spent some time on the floor in “weing personally dntroduced to the members. Upon ‘the Convention being catied to order there was ‘quite a contestas to who should escort him to the ehair, After Mis ceremony had been nappily ac- ‘complished Mr. Ingraham introduced him tn a neat @peech, and Douylass, tendering his acknowledg- ments, commenced an eloquent speech of over an hour's duration, imterrapwea occasionally by “tamuituous enthusiasm. FRED DOUGLASS’ SPEECH. He commenced with thanking them for the sym- pemhy displayed on electing him President of the Mational Convention of Colored Men, and thought ®% Bad been actuated in the selection more from feeling than from any fiimty deduc- ton of a logical jndgment. ‘There were at least twenty men present better ‘Mted vy experience and mental aptitude to fli the piace, but he looked uvon the honor as being con- ferred as an expression of grateful feeling, excited by long years of toll and struggies with which he had been identificd in the cause of liberty, justice md equality im the United Siates lie Jelt =himseif right im believing that the Genvention acied through honoravie sentiment ‘rather than from stern judgment of qualiies for mess. He thanked them fori. In appearimg be- Soro them he teil embarrassed, only arriving at the “end instead of the commencement of the session, - and he now labored under all the disadvaniage of being unaware of what had transpired in speeches. Sentiments, principles announced or resolutions Offered, and he was therefore lable to repeat what - others bad done better. He would commence with an apology for his tardiness. He had used due diligence to get here; the last six days and six nighis were spent im the carnest effort, and the toil had gone far to unfit him to preside or make tne speech required by the occasion, WHE OBJECES OF THE CONVENTION Tm bis view the Convention haa two distinci ob- fecw:—First, to so direct the moral and poiltical power of the Convention to conserve and perpetuate the rigits and tiberties already @btained by the colored pecple; and, sec to 30 «wield nat moral political power “Ht shail result in the achievement of all the liveriies contemplated hy the Declaration of Independence fer an ciuzens of the United States.
