This cal! signed by the members of The delegation

Ia repair this nison the delegation should discover

The objection which you urge TO single organization
may be avcea. believe, b, tue exercise OF concilia
tory ecngs and by ubordfaton OF all sectional AM
personal wishes, the desire to the Of
candidates This feeling has already bad the
effect OF uniting the party in single organization in many
districts and counties the state. Your proposition to
cali Conventions will create the necessity for re-
wing these conflict. and indefinitely perpetuating them
You will pardon tor calling your attention to the
fact that your proposition holds forth no assurance of
ultimate union of the parry, but that organizes
and sytemascs and PEI petlates the conflicting
organizations. II proposes simply coalition. We re-
gIet tia, have informed where the committees
arc to aer, power call conventions and to
pledge themselves their constituencies the
selet lion of a common ticket No such power has been
listed by constituents by the National
Convention Such coalition, instead Of concluding the
party conflicts in this state would take us back to the
in whch stood at the outbreak OF the dir
lion in 1855 when two separate conventions, meeting at
he time and place, united in the nomination Of
Judges the of Appeals, but divided other
dlaes inflated that conflict of organizations which
carried through Of antagonists and disaster to
the tribunal Of the National Convention for It's final
arbi,rameit and decision. BY that decision We
propose 10 ebde. The democrats OF the State,
believe, willing to rest upon il as the set
eDeDt Of past difference and the basis Of future political
action We should gladly suggest TO You If we knew the
extent of yor power such notifications of our propo
slton would meet your objections, keeping in view
always the requirement, the National Convention, that
there Shout, be state invention; and if any such sug
est tlemeives to you we beg you 10 state them to us
assuring you OF cheerful concurrence.
We enclose to you in conclusion copy Of the call
arecd 10 by the committee Of both sections at Cincinnati
AID pursuance the decision OF that body We
will uponconsderation, concur in It, with such
notifications you may suggest and that the union of
ia. party in tins state may be contaminated in the man
rer provided by the representatives Of the great demo
cracy o. The Union, in whose all enlisted,
all true patriots this dark the country desire
to see placed IN charge Of the helm of State

ference the past aLa will consent to in
any irritating correspondence whatever We therefore
shall your letter eJfenso and will only say
that understand the National Convention To iavo al
yised strongly Of all true democrats in this
state without attempting 10 prescribe the form IN
which the two organizations should act in attaining that
object. The National Convention recommended in terms,
that delegations from this state 10 tsat body
siorc unite in 4 call for Convention but pre-
tends that these delegates had any such power, AMI it !!
mos, that all the National Convention had IN
was tina. united action in the democratic party in New
