NATIONAL COUNCIL OF COLORED PEOPLE.
It will be seen by reference to the Constitution, that an election in the several States is to take place on Nov. 15, for two additional members to the National Council, and one for twenty of the State Council.
A tax of ten cents will qualify any colored inhabitant to vote.
It is presumed that the friends in Western Massachusetts will at once concentrate upon an able representative for the National Council; and the Eastern friends will be as prompt in their selection.
The place for holding the meeting in Boston will be duly announced.
In behalf of the Council,
WILLIAM C. NELL.
