Since it is decided to hold a National Convention of the colored people of the United States in Rochester, we hope that no time will be lost among our friends in different parts of the country in choosing delegates. It will also be well for each meeting that appoints a delegate, or more, to forward its proceedings (post paid) to the office of this paper for publication.

  BRO. M. R. DELANY will see, by the previous appearance of the Call for a Convention, the reason we do not publish his letter on the subject. That letter reached us several days after the publication of the Call. The names of the gentlemen he mentions can be appended to the Call, if deemed proper by Bro. Delany, if he takes the responsibility of so ordering.

  WE are authorized to state that the contributions, now being made in various parts of the British realm, as a testimonial to Mrs. H. B. Stowe, will be accounted for hereafter through the columns of Frederick Douglass' Paper—Mrs. Stowe having signified to the contributors that they should look to our columns to know what disposition is made of their donations—ED.
