The friends of the Constitution and the equal rights of the States, in Kentucky, have called a mass convention, to meet at Frankfort, on the 20th or March, 1861, to consider the proper course for Kentucky to pursue at this time, and to take such action as in their opinion will best meet the exigencies of the occasion. All who love the South and are determined to maintain her rights; who advocate resistance to the coercion of the seceded States by the Federal Government; who prefer an alliance with the slave-holding States to northern aggression; and who desire a reconstructed Confederacy of the slave-holding and the loyal free State rather than the rule of an abolitionized and centralized despotism, are invited to meet in council at thee State capital on that day.
