To the People of Kentucky.

O. = The Democrat party of the United States
have been call upon by the National Dem
ocratic Executive Committee, to assemble
ct Ch icsgoon the 4th July, 1864, and select
candidates for President aud Vice President
of the United States, 10 response to tn is
invitation, the Democracy of Kentucky
ought to call Convention. for the purpose
of appointing Delegates to the Chicago
Democratic Convention. and an Electoral
Ticket for this State. s
The Democratic party of Kentucky,
which has for many years, held in equi-
poise the political power of the State, aud
which at this time is believed to hold de-
cided majority, could not fail to respond to
the summons from sister States to the Chi
cago Convention, without culpable neg
lect Of duty. The principles of that party
which would have prevented civil war,
usurpatious, and calam tiles under which we
now suffer, are too well known to need any
repetition. They are the only means un-
der heaven by which our country can be sa-
we'd from utter ruin and restored to PEACE,
PROSPERITY and UNION. A crisis so terrible
arouses all who are not lost in the madness
of times or the trammels and corruptious of
party to the necessity of rallying around the
standard of the Democracy, and making one
united effort to bring back the Federal adj
miuistration within the limits of constitu-
tional power and patriotic action.
The Senators ard Representatives of Ken
lucky at Washington with the exception
of the three abolitionists) overwhelmed By a
sense Of the impending danger to the Rspub-
lie, have earnestly and unanimously recon-
meuded the union Of all the opponets of the
administration 10 Kentucky in a convention
to be held on the 18th of June, for the pur-
pose of sending delegates to the Chicago
Democratic convention, and sustaining the
action of that body. ...-. ...
The Democrats of the State have couced-
ed to these extraordinary circumstances all
that liberality would suggest or patriotism
permit. They have courteousIy responded
to the proposition, and known to the Cen
trai Union Conservative Committee their
Willingness to cooperate in carrying out
suggestion of the Congressional Delegation
under the call prepared and signed By the
congressman, but the offer was declined.
1t is needless to say to any one accquain-
ted with Kentucky POLITICS, that the Dem
ocratic party of Kentucky will not be in
any sense represented the Convention which
has been called through the Louisville Jour
nal for the 25th of May. nor is it necessary
to m ention any of the well-known reasons
why such representation (under present
circumstances) is a moral impossibility.
Under these circumstances, we believe,
the Democratic party in their convention at |
Chicago will be sustained by the great mass
OF the people of Kentucky, excepting only !
the violent ultras of abolitionism and disu-
MON. This will be an impressive admoni- |
ton to our Federal rulers that the career Of
tyranny and proaigacy now in progress will
not be sanctioned by the people at the
polls.
We, your fellow citizens, now call upon |
the Democracy Of Kentucky and all patri-
otto conservatives who are willing to COOP
crate with the great party for our country's
redemption, to rally in each county imme-
diately upon seeing this call, and hold m eet-
iDgs TO send as delegates to the State Dem
ocratic Convention, to be held in Louisville
on the 18th of June, 1864, men who will
properly represent their sentimeuts-men
who stand firmly in the principles of Wash
ingtou, Jefferson, M ad son and jackson, and
who adhere to the Constitution of the Jul
ted States as the ark of our political saliva
