any one, shall lead to accurate information, and that a convention like the present, composed of delegates from the counties and Baltimore city, be annually held at such time and place as said convention, in their judgment, may designate.

A motion was made to accept the report, which led to debate, John H. Walker speaking at length in opposition to the resolutions, and hoped that they would be referred back to the committee, contending that there should have been a recommendation to raise a fund to fee a lawyer, or some influential citizen of this State, to go to Annapolis next winter to endeavor to obtain a change of legislation in reference to the colored race.

   B. Jenifer, of Dorchester, replied to Walker, urging that his views were
   in opposition to the spirit of the circular which called them together,
   and a majority of the delegates present.

   At one o’clock the convention took a recess.

   Afternoon Session.—­The convention re-assembled at 4 o’clock, the
   resolutions being again debated by various delegates—­John H. Walker, B.
   Jenifer, C. Perry, and others.

   Rev. Darius Stokes moved to lay the motion to adopt the platform on the
   table, which was determined in the affirmative.

   On motion of Mr. Stokes the convention went into the committee of the

   committee in sections.

   The two first resolutions were adopted, the third referred back to the
   committee, and pending the further action on the remainder of the
   resolutions, the convention adjourned till Wednesday morning.

   A note was received from the President, Rev. William Tasker, stating
   that indisposition would prevent him from presiding over the
   deliberations of the body the remainder of its sessions.

   The attendance of the delegates was small in the morning, and very few
   lookers on were present.

The platform being again taken up, F. Harris, of Baltimore, presented a protest against the adoption of the fourth resolution, which pointed out Liberia as the place of emigration for the colored people, because it recommends emigration to that place contrary to the wishes of his constituents, and a majority of the free colored people of the city and State.  He contended that if they were for Liberia, they should say so at once, and tell the mob out doors that they were endeavoring to send them all there—­not say one thing in the convention and another outside.

James A. Jones, of Kent, said that Harris was endeavoring to shape his course the way the
