THE SOLDIERS, PLATFORM.

The following are the resolutions adop-
ted by the Pittsburgh Convention:
Bv the Soldiers and Sailors of the Arny and Ma
w of the United States, in Convention Assem-
bled: Bel
Resolved, That the action of the present Con.
gress in passing the pending Constitutional
Amend ment is wise, prudent and just. 1t clear
ly defines American citizenship and gauaraDties
all his rights to every citizen. 1t places on
lust and equal basis the right Of representation,
making the vote of a man in one State equally
notent with the vote of another man in any
State. 1t righteously excludes from places OF
honor and trust the chief conspirators, guiltiest
rebels, whose purjured crimes have drenched
the land in fraternal blood. 1t puts into the
yerv frame of our government the inyiolsbility
of the national debt and the nullity forever oi
all obligations contracted in support of the re-
bellion. rApplause.]
Resolved, That it is unfortunate for the coun-
try that these propositions have not been re-
ceived in the spirit of conciliation, clemency
and fraternal feeling in which they were offered
as they are the mildest terms ever granted to
subdued rebels. [Applause.]
Resolved, That the President, as an Execu-
tive officer. has no right to a policy as against
the legislative department of the government

It have retarded the restoration of peace and
unity: they have converted conquered rebels
into impudent claimants to rights which they
have forfeited and places which they have des
ecrated. If contaminated, it would render ths
sacrifices of the nation useless; the loss OF th'
lives of our buried comrades vain, and the wa
in which we have so gloriously triumphed, wba

to be, failure. [Applause.1
Resolved, That the right of the cOnqueror t.

by the public law Of all civilized nations; b.
the operation Of that law for the conservation @
the good of the whole country, Congress ha

1t is a marvel to the people on this side
of the line, why the inhabitants of Canada
should at the present moment be laboring
under such widespread apprehensions Of
an invasion from the United States. The
explanation will probably be found in the
fact that the Provincial Government has in
its employ about two hundred secret agents,
who are travelling through our country for
the purpose of gathering and sending for
ward information of the probable designs
of the Fenians. These, of course, must,
ike the reporters of the daily press, fur
nish news or lose situations, and the con-
sequence is, the people Of Canada are kept
in the greatest suspense, and the Govern
ment obliged to incur heavy expenses in
preparing for an imaginary enemy.

TIE RESOLUTIONS.

The platform of principles is plain and
simple. The resolutions are couched in
no unnecessary or double meaning Ian
guage. They are bold, frank and aoldierly
and their sentiments are expressed with
the emphatic earnestness of men who are
willing to have the world know on what
ground and under what flag they are fight
ing. The platform is the exposition Of The
political views, feelings and intentions Of
the men by whom the war was fought and
won, and who value the fruits of victory
because they understand well at what cost
they were purchased, and as such it will
be accepted by the loyal people Of the
land. w.

THE CITY's HOSPITALITY.

The city had made the most elaborate
preparations for the Convention, the citi-
zens had extended their hospitalities pro-
fusely, had decorated their dwellings and
public buildings superbly, had hung out
flags, and banners, and transparencies, and
had evinced the largest fraternal feeling
and warmest interest in the delegates and
their design. And here, gathered in the
largest Hall in the city, they united in a
grand welcome of the delegations. The
scene was one Of powerful effect and in
spiration. s.4..,

ADJOURNMENT.

After sound, clear, and stirring speeches
from Gen. BUTLER, Gen. GIBSON, Sergeant
MCGEE, Gen. HARTMAN and others, mo-
ton to adjourn sine die was made and the
convention broke up amidst tumult Of
cheers for GRANT, SHERIDAN, SHERMAN and
FARRAGUr, cheers for the new platform of
principles, for the loyal ladies and hospit-
able citizens of Pittsburgh, for any thing
and every thing loyal and true, but not
one for "my policy" or for any friend of
treason.

ld GATHERING OF THE FORCES.
=" Yesterday was a great day in this old
"Iron City" For two or three days be-
fore every train was freighted with dele
gates and friends of the great National
Convention of Soldiers and Sailors. Off
GERS came bearing the fame earned in
scores of battles; private soldiers came
bearing the glory of having bravely fought
for and nobly won the salvation Of the re-
public. While hundreds and thousands Of
the friends and brothers of the "boys in
blue" came in the pride of American citi-
zens, honoring those who fought and de-
termined to stand by them in preserving
the prize of liberty and union for which
they fought.
INFORMAL MEETING.
The city was crowded, and at the infor-
NAL meeting yesterday morning, at nine
o'clock, for the reception of the various
delegations, the City Hall was packed and
overfowed by an enthusiastic audience.
As the several delegations made their ap-
pearance, they were heartily cheered. The
Wisconsin men brought the famous eagle,
"Old Abe" one of the cherished institu.
tions Of the Western Army, which was
greeted with great shouting, and was given
prominent place on the platform. A
choir of two hundred ladies sung several
pieces, and brief speeches were made by
several delegates. Generals Butler and
Devens, of Massachusetts,, received per
feet ovation on coming into the Hall, which
was acknowledged by few remarks from
the former. This reception was great

CHARACTER OF THE DELEGATES.

There were very large number OF
delegates present, crowding the spacious
hall to more than its fullest capacity.
There are fifteen or twenty Major Gener-
ais here, most of them ranking among
the bravest and best known fighting Off

officers and private Soldiers are here in

is repre- sented by the best men who fought

THE CITY,

Pittsburgh has done everything for the
entertainment and pleasure of the visitors
and has turned out in a blaze OF enthusl-

tokens of sympathy with the soldiers and
devotion to the country.

GOV. cox FOR CHAIRMAN.

The Committee on permanent organiza-
ton informally agreed upon General Logan
for President but owing to his non-arriyal,
they selected General Cox of Ohio No
better selection could have been made,
though Generals Banks, Butler, Burnside,
Geary, Schenck, Barlow, Garfield and
many other leading officers were present.
The Governor was conducted to the chair
at the opening of the afternoon session
and was greeted with round after round
of applause. He made clear, calm and
able speech, fairly stating in terse Ian
guage the main issue of the great CAM
psign of 1865, and assuming most dis
distinctly the patriotic position which the
Governor Of Ohio and the President of a
National Soldiers Convention would be
expected to assume.

CLOSE OF THE CONVENTION,

CLObE VI The CONVkNTIOEs
The work of the grand convention is
done, and well done. Yesterday the last
speech was made, the last resolution adop-
ted, the last cheer, long and loud, given.
In numbers, in unanimity and enthusiasm,
in loyal steadfastness of purpose and frank
and manly speaking and dealing, it is
without parallel in our political history.
Fifteen thousand delegates sought entrance
into the spacious halls, and fifty thousand
strangers thronged the streets of the Iron
City to do honor to the men who had worn
the 'Blue" on the battle-ields of the Re-
public. This time, ofice-seekers, aspiring
regular officers and wire-working, reckless
politicians were the rare exceptions and
not the rule. This time, the 'line of bat
tie" has had hearing, not the stragglers
and camp followers.
Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1866-10-05
A LOVE FEAST.

Yesterday the session was opened with
a 'love feast" Of brief, telling, stirring
noble speeches. Letters Of greeting were
read from Minnesota and Maine, from
Kansas and New Orleans. kilograms came
from New York and Philadelphia, sent by
FREMONT and the Loyal Leaguers, but none
from FoRREsT or his friends. Gov. Cur
TIN, always loyal and true, was welcomed
by three tremendous cheers, and MURDOCH,
whose wonderful powers were devoted to
the aid of the loyal army in the field thro'-
out the entire war, was greeted with
storm of applause. A wounded, manned
soldier of Ohio, who had lost both hands
in action and had been refused a position
under the government by President John
soc, received substantial purse as an ex-
preston of sympathy. Three loyal old
veterans of the War of 1912, were greeted
with three times three by the younger
veterans of the War of the Rebellion. A
resolution offered to the memory of ABRA-
HAM LINCOLN was adopted by the rising of
the entire convention to their feet in 81
lence.
