Cincinnati Convention could hardly be

as the Democrats are expected to furnish
the votes to elect the Cincinnati nominees
they should be consulted. The success o
the Cincinnati movement will depend moi
on the Democrats or Republicans, but or
the harmonious, cooperation Of the
citizens, included by both those
terms who hold liberal opinions which
will enable them to unite upor
common ground Of equity. Manifestly
some sacrifices will be necessary on both
