BROOKLYN, L. I., April 16, 1852.

MR. EDITOR:—I had hoped that some ar-
rangements would have been made to hold
a convention with some grand practical
object in view, during the continuance of
the "World's Fair" in this city. I suppose
most of our intelligent and respectable peo-
ple will visit the city during that time, and
by a previous understanding, could make it
convenient to visit about the same time. As
we shall not, I presume, be represented
at the Fair in any other capacity than as
servants and lookers-on, are we not called
upon to avail ourselves of the opportunity
of making a good impression in the presence
as we shall be of our Southern fools at home,
and our friends from abroad, who will doubt-
less be led to observe most strictly whatever
relates to us?

I think we should also either publish a pa-
per in this city during that time, or make
arrangements to have a large number of
Douglass' prepared with the most particular
reference to the occasion.

I would suggest a convention of the Ger-
rit Smith grantees, for the purpose of secur-
ing and disseminating information relative
to the settlement of those lands. But that
convention should not prevent us from hav-
ing another to consider measures of a more
general nature. What say you, gentlemen?
Messrs. "Wagoner," "Delany," "Ethiop,"
"Communipaw," "Loguen," and a host of
others, what say you? Shall such a good
opportunity for sowing and reaping be al-
lowed to pass? Let us meet to consider
Mr. Wagoner's, and other suggestions.

J. N. STILL.
