A convention of 'People of color,' styled the 'first annual convention,' assembled at Philadelphia in June. We have just seen a summary of the minutes of this convention. Measures were adopted relative to the Canadian settlement, which is represented as being in a flourishing condition, and to a college for people of color. The movements of the blacks are certainly calculated to excite alarm; ; and the sooner they are sent back to their native land, the better.
