B3g0're7, That we hold it to be the
duty Of government 10 make Just g.
qualiZation of bOuntieS, so that all who
have served in the war against rebel
lion. veterans and drafted men alike
may receive a fair compensation for
their services, and that we will support
no man for Congress or for the State
legislature, who will not unequiyoCaliy
declare iii favor Of such measure,
Ras0tUed, Tat the almost illinitable
public domain, stretching to the Pacif-
ic, should be allotted aS homeSteads to
those who perilled life and limb in pre-
serving it from the grasp Of the rebels.
ReSOtUed, That the present allowance
to the wounded veteran, and 20 the
widows and orphans Of those who have
fallen in battle is altogether inadequate
10 their support, and we ask in their
behalf that a generous and wealthy
government will make ample cOmpen-
sation for them in the future.
Res0lre8, That in order 90 obtain the
full measure of Justice from Govern
ment the Soldiers should organize. and
press their claims upon all proper 0c-
casi0ns, until they are fully satisfied.
ReS0iued. That we expect, in accord
ance with the oft repeated pledges and
assurances made in time Of war, that
the claims Of those who have faithful
ly served in the field, will not be over
looked in the bestoWal of political ia
vors in time of peace.
