Another meeting of colored vo ters was held in the National Hall, Ninth and Waluut streets,last evening, with William Mills presiding. The following ward committees had been reported to Secretary Henry up to last evening; Second, William H. Barrett, Lewis if. Ilantum, George Walker; Fourth, Theodore Purnell, the liev. G. Tillman, Samuel Stanley, .lames Rollins; Sixth, .James A. An derson, William ii. Lewis, Simeon 11 <hmI, Samuel (fiasco ; Seventh, .Jo seph Poulson, Kennard L. Byard, Wil liam T. Lewis, Dr. Wi.liam F. Butler ; Eighth, William Gum by, Hr. Daniel J. Russel 1, Isaac T. Sutphay, William .Johnson. Several speeches were made and Dr. Henderson said that he would like it fully known why these meetings were held, so that people could understand why the colored voters are meeting here nightafter night. He had heard it was rumored that the object of these meet ings was to organize the colored voters and then sell them out to the Democratic party, or for the purpose of gratifying the ambition of certain colored men by sending them to City Council, or by electing them to some other office. All such rumors are false, and the only object the colored voters have in organizing was to advance the inter ests of the entire race. He did not think it would be possible to elect man to Council, or any other office in this city, for the next twenty years at least, but be did think that some of the appointed offices should be filled race. n a it er all colored of of his There are 1,400 colored voters in this city, an I if they refuse to go to the polls and vote the Republican ticket, (hat party will be defeated. Hie advice to the colored voters was, that just as long as the party which now hold power through their ballots, refused to recog nize them because they are colored men, to remain passive, and not go to the Lolls or vote at all, aud it would not beloug before ibeir claims would be recognized. James A. Anderson then read the following address, w hich wits unani mously indorstd and 2,000 copies order ed to be prill ted : Since we, the colored voters of the State of Delaware, in common with the colored voters of the United States generally, are a part of the body politic, and have certain rights (not privileges j as a consequence of our alleged citizen ship, therefore, iu justice to ourselves, a grateful legacy to our posterity, we are bound to protest against the existing state of things, especially <is they appear In the polities of Delaware. We know that this continually ring ing the changes on "our rights" may sound exceedingly monotonous aud disagreeable to some ears, hut we also know that if we supinely permit events to shape themselves in the future as they have iu the past, the "rights" will be more oi than ever. Every school boy knows that without revolution there would have been no Unit*.* 1 ! States, and we know that with out constant agitation we can hope to accomplish nothing. We, therefore, submit the following propositions for the consideration of the colored voters of Delaware, feeling sure that if they are carefully pondered they will bear their legitimate fruit. First. That since the colored voters form about one sixth of the voting pop ulation of the State, they feel the time has come w hen they will no longer sub mit to be ndegated to Hie rear ranks of the Republican party denied a voice >n its councils and made to pick up the crumbs that fall from the table through the machinations of the ma chine politicians and demagogic whip pers in win* temporarily hold the reins. Second. That iu " knowing o«r rights ami daring to maintain* them," we shall no doubt receive severe strictures from the disinterestered (Heaven save the mark!) political friends with whom we have been heretofore identified; hut let their animadversions be caustic., they cannot make us forget that interesting page of natural history which tells us how the jackal chases tin; lion's quarry, and having caught it, waits until his majesty comes up ami eats his share, (which is very often all,) and the other animal may cat what is left (which is very often none). by ter in is of the a of the ini is a of last has of and very f a dead same letter ver The is obvious. intcrcnc Third. That if, as alleged, the colored re a debt of gratitude to the Republican party, that debt has been repaid with interest in the blind devo tion and unquestioning obedience which the negroes have given It ever since they were enfranchised ; but since " charity begins at home" it behooves colored men to give their votes and their rer if will he of the most vole influence win* immediate Iwm lit to thomselvos. Tho charge of " standing 01 the highest bidder" is assuring our w have learned fn recognition i rendered. Fourth. That whenever the Repub lian party is iu power through the help of tho colored voters, they (the colored voters) should he accorded equal right and pioUction iu common with the party, and should share its triumphs itN disasters, and any failure to do this is, in effect, a notice served on colored men " to go " for themselves. Now, gentlemen,we colored men who send you this message have the inter ests of our race as much at heart as you have, and infinitely more than any one of another race can have, and yet to serve their own purposes they openly pat your brawny shoulders and secretly bet their money on your blood. Th4»y will tell you that we who send you this address are " sore-heads, bolters, kickers," etc., and we tell them emphatically that we will " holt" and " k'ck" as long as they will give us a serpent, when we ask for fish, and give a stone when we ask for bread. It is time thinking colored men had ceased to he tools and cats-paws tor a set, of "machine bosses," whose only claim to superiority rests on the fact, that they are of fairer complexion, ami w ho only use black men as stepping stones to satisfy their own ambition. tinf block for inticipated by liito friends that we mi them to cletnand proportion to services ley the of iu ill to ing Eook Before You Eeap.
