The Colored State Convention has convened and adjourned. Hon. Jno. C. Dancy, of Edgecombe, presided, and Mr. A. S. Richardson, of Salisbury, was elected Secretary. The first day's proceedings were quite stormy, but after the permanent organization was perfected, and different committees appointed by the chairman, there was a
[PAGE 02]
calm, and business moved on with such intelligence as never before graced the proceedings of a colored convention. There were quite a number of good speeches made during the sitting of the convention, and all tempered by words for the good of North Carolina and her people, irrespective of race, color or previous condition of servitude - in short, we believe the convention was a success and will

result in much good to the whole people of the State. The resolution introduced by the Hon. Jas. H. Harris, and adopted by the convention, giving encouragement to the independent movement has waked up to the native, and put the whole Democratic party in motion.
[PAGE 04]
But the result will not be realized until the 2nd day of November, when some anti-Bourbon will invite Governor Jarvis out and down from the lofty seat which [unclear]be he now occupies as Governor of North Carolina.
