CoLoRED CONVENTION AT SYRAcusE.-A colore(
convention was held at Syracuse last week, for the
purpose of adopting measures TO procure the free
dom OF voting at elections for the coored people o
this State on; the same terms it is enjoyed by tn,
whites. BY the present constitution of New York
colored people are allowed to vote only when pos
sessed OF property qualification to the amount o
two hundred and fifty dollars annually. The con
ventlon complains bitterly of the restriction OF the
right OF voting in their case, and have determined
TO remove it, If possible through the State conven
non, now before the people for confirmation. II
appears, from what this convention sets forth tha
there might be 1900 colored voters IN this State
and that if they are qualified, by removal of the
present restrictions, they would be able to contro
the destinles of this State in all future elections
