We have wished foreome ime thut tlie culored part of our citizens could agree upon some plan of Nutional and State organizaron, by which theyiüigtit unitcdly act for ihe elevation of their race.- They might support a national paper of their ownjtUrough which a vastvariety of facts respect'ing their condition would fiiid their wny in to ihe papers generally, and do very much townrds obliteraiing the prrjndices existing acainet tliem, which are genenilly as foolish os they are wicked.
