MR. DOUGLASS:—In your paper of October
5th, is a notice of a "meeting of colored citi-
zens of Po'keepsie." The notice states the pur-
pose for which the meeting was called, and
winds up in the following language:

"A Political Suffrage Association was form-
ed to co-operate with the State Association, to
secure Equal Suffrage for colored citizens. The
undersigned were elected officers of the said
Association for one year from date:

"JOSEPH BOLING, Pres't.

"Uriah Boston, Sec'y."

Now, it will be known by Mr. Boston, and
every person who was present at that meeting,
that "the undersigned" (as he has it) were not
elected officers of the Association; and why
he has suppressed the names of the duly elected
officers, and substituted others, it is supposed
that he can tell. I am informed that a true list
of the officers of the Association has been sent
to you, so I need not name them here, but hope
to see them in print, so that the Association
may be fairly represented.

A MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATION.

HYDE PARK, October 11, 1855.
