njustice." We note the following resolutions,
which were passed by the convention:

_Resolved_, That we, in convention assembled, respectfully but
earnestly demand of the powers that be, that the Negro be given
what, and only what, he is entitled to.

_Resolved further_, That never, until we are in the fullest
enjoyment of our rights at the ballot-box, will we cease to agitate
and work for what justly belongs to us in the shape of suffrage.

_Further resolved_, That it shall be the policy of the colored race
to vote so as to bring the greatest division to the white voters of
this country, for in this we believe lies the boon of our desire.

The last resolution is not entirely plain to us, and we refrain from
comment upon it, but the convention itself, the fact of leadership
taking shape among the Negroes, and the forth-putting of their purposes,
are very significant.

When the Glenn Bill was born, and when the Georgia House of
Representatives stood sponsor for its baptism, we believed that the
enemy of righteousness had made a mistake, and that this particular
piece of artillery would kick. They who think to thwart the providences
of God usually help them forward. Christianity has had many a help from
its opposers.

Upon the incidental question of temperance, the sentiments of the
convention were voiced by one of the speakers in these words: "The best
thing for the Negro is industry, temperance, virtue, economy, union and
courage. Get land, get money, get education; be sober and be virtuous.
We have drunk enough whiskey since the war to build a railroad from
Atlanta to Savannah. The Negro race cannot be great except as
individuals rise towards greatness." They are rising. A little more
yeast, good friends.

The following illustrations of some features of our work are not sent
forth for the sake of a smile, but for the thought which will be under
the smile. The text of the thought, which may be expanded at pleasure,
will be found in an ordinance of the United States, dated 1787, viz.:
"Religion, morality and knowledge being necessary to good government and
the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall be
forever encouraged."
