GENTLEMEN You will perceive by
the proceedings of u primary Demo-
cratic meeting, Of Saturday, Dec. 10,
herewith inciosed, that the sentiment
in favor OF aNational Democratic Con.
vention at Louisville in 1867, has found
expression in Louisville, and will prob
ably be further expressed in the pro-
eeodings of our State Convention Feb
ruary 22. 1861,
The urgent necessity for such q con.
vention, and the propriety of Louis
viils as a location where the Northern
and Southern States may most con-
veniontly ami pleasantly meet, needs
no argument at this time, nor can
there DO any doubt that an early date
should DO selected for the meeting TO
secure that consultation and cO-opera-
ton upon which nil judicious and
successful political action must de-
pond.
Before = call a issue from our
STATE Convention important Democrat
ie Conventions will have assembled
and adjourned in the Northern States.
Ii therefore becomes important that
the sut;ect should be brought under
their consideration, and that some CO
operative action or expression should
aeCur in the Democratic Conventions
which meet between this and the 22d
Di February.
We wOu.l therefore most respect.
fcliy .Ii cordially request your CO op
GRAFTON in this matter by bringing II
under tie consideration Of the Demo.
cratic State Convention Of Ohio in {
suitable Manner, or by laying this let
ter before that body. We confde il
you- pau iOtism and judgment to
proper action on this subject, and bel
leave to assure you that Louisville hos
p~itality shall not DO backward at tn
meeting Of the proposed convention
Ea1 thai the general political sentimen
of Kentucky will concentrate with ov
erW nelming power in support OF con
seryAtlve and cgncifiatory Democrat
principles, AZ shown m our platform o
