OBERLIN, June 7, 1853.

MR. EDITOR:—In pursuance of previous
notice, the colored people of this place met
for the purpose of electing delegates to the
National Convention, to be held in the city
of Rochester on the 6th July, 1853. The
gentlemen elected as delegates, were Messrs.
O. S. B. Wall, George Perry, and John Mer-
cer Langston. The following resolutions
were adopted by the meeting:

1. Resolved, That we most cheerfully con-
cur in the Call for the National gathering.

2. Resolved, That in our opinion, such a
meeting has been needed for several years;
and now, that it has been called, we look to
it with the most sanguine and pleasing repu-
tations, assured as we are, that by the bless-
ing of God, it will result in great good to us.

3. Resolved, That the men whom we have
appointed to represent us in this Convention,
have our entire confidence.

4. Resolved, That we still regard American
slavery to be the sum of all villanies, and we
pledge ourselves anew to do all in our power
to effect its overthrow.

After the adoption of the resolutions, a
motion was made and carried, that the pro-
ceedings be published in Frederick Douglass'
Paper. The meeting then adjourned.

JOHN CAMPTON, President.

L. S. BARON, Secretary.
