Laborers' Meeting. There was a
meeting of the colored laboring people,
at Red Church, on West street, Sunday
night, tho proceedings and resolutions of
which did not reach' us in time for pub
lication yesterday morning, and they are
necessarily crowded out to-day.
From the hasty glance we have been
able to give, the speeches and resolutions
condemn the acts of violence to which
we alluded to as occurring here on Mon
day, and they declare, that5 they do not
propose to raise strife or create a prej j-
jdic5 toward anyone who rriay give them
employment, but to demand of thera
living wages. Kev. Jthny. Johnson. I.
B Abbott, U. . Tucker and Others ad
dressed the meeting, all speaking in this
If strain.
We will present the proceedings and
resolutions of the meeting to-morrow,
making 8ticb comments as we deem just
and proper to the occasion, and in the
interest irf both races without any preju
dice whatever.
