The labor system in most of the southern states is unjust and unfair to the colored Americans. Beivg the principal laborers of that section, they are necessarially the sufferers to a greater eXteut than any other class trom unfavor- able legislation on the sabject of labor. The present system, at least in its results, is so injurious to the colored laborers in many parts of the south that they seldom if ever, enjoy a fair and reasonable | portion of the fruits of their la- bor. Under the Constitution and | laws of the land we are entitled to | the same rights and privileges enjoyed by any other class of citi zens, and yet 'n defiance of law we find that we are subjected to tax- ation without representation. We are compelled to obey laws that we have no voice in making. We are obliged in many localities | to submit to verdict of juries and THEY SAY When the Dnke of Buckingham made Gloster King he was prom- ised the movables of Hereford.

We therefore feel and believe that it is our duty as it is our privilege to intorm the country through the medium of a national convention, of any grievances, having fall faitb in the fairness and justness of the American people. Public opinion after all, especially in a democra- tic Republic, is tha supreme law ofthe land. To that tribunal we make our earnest appeal for justice and tair play. Political parties are the instruments through which the will of the people is executed, Our purpose is to so impress upon is | fairness of our claims tkat no poli- lical party can safely atford to ig- | nore them.

The votes of col ored American citizens in such States are suppressed by violence or neutralized by fraud.
