To THE PEOPLE Of ALABAMA The Ex-
arrtiye Committee of the Democratic and
conservative party of the State, after con-
-uitlti0n with representative men from
an sections. have decided 10 call n conven-
ton. % be held at Montgomery, on the first

men.
The gross frauds and felonies. perpetrated
bv the party now in power. its inveterate
hostility 10 free government under Consti-
tutlOual form, its repeated efforts to destroy
freedom Of II cech, as well Is of the press, by
martial law; it, imposition of the most
enormous taxes upon the labor and capital
of the country; its increasing efforts To
create strife between the races; in word,
IL. cumity 10 all we love in government and
cherish IN memory, is such as TO demand
null representation i'm the Convention, of the
Intelligence. patriotism and virtue of the
state, as a grand inquest, To frame an in
dictment and aTrai9n them before the indig-
uant ald outraged people.
The Convention itself Will determine the
number OF votes TO WHICH edcn county VIII
be- entitled.
All who are in favor of relieving the peo-
Die of Alabama from the rule of the base
men who now fill so many OF her offices, are
entitled to representation in the Convention
and in order that all shades of opposition
may be fully represented, and that the party
may have the benefit of the advice and uni
ted Counsels OF all opposed to Radicalism.
We trust that large delegations will attend
from each county in the State. Where it
has not already been done, we advise that
county conventions be held without delay
and full delegations appointed, and when
there is any difference of opinion AS to the
best mode of attacking tie common enemy.
let tine delegations be so framed as to en-
brace all shades of difference, so that the
Convention, after full discussion and CON
,deraton, may adopt policy upon which
Nil can stand shoulder To shoulder in the
struggle with fraud and corruption, upon
which We are about To enter. We advise
that county conventions be held ut once,
tor the purpose of pCrfecung county and
township organizations. Let clubs be formed
In every election precinct in the State,
and all honest men be prepared to come for
ward on the Sth of November next and cast
their ballots in favor of reform.
The election laws now in this State were
designed apparently to enable the party in
pow er TO perpetuatc fraud, and its accom-
plishment can only be prevented by united
action aud determined purpose that 4 tair
election shall be held.

ln.ttees will please forward their names and
listofdclegatcs from their respective coun-
ties to the chairman of the State Executive
