SOLDIERS CONVENTION.
WASHINGTON, August 21.-A call has been
issued for convention of soldiers, which
will be held at Cleveland, Ohio, September
IL, instead of at Chicago, as heretofore sta
ted. 1t is as follows;
To the soldiers and sailors who served in
the army and navy of the United States
during the late rebellion in pursuance of
a resolution Of meeting of soldiers now or
lately in the Union army, held in this city
last evening, we invite those of you VINO ap-
prove the restoration policy Of the Presi-
dent and the-principle5 announced by the
National Convention at Philadelphia, to as
semble at Cleveland on the 18th day of
Septem Der, for consultation on the nlomen-
tuOus issues now convulsing our country
We need not argue to you at length the i'm
portance of these issues, nor your duty to
take part in their settlement. After five
years of fierce and destructive war,
in which our arms were glO-
riouslv triumphant, the Union for
which we fought is still politically dnre-
stored. We struggled to sustain the su
premacy of the general government, to con-
auer all who in arms disputed its authority,
and to make rebellious citizens yield 70
its laws. We held throughout the war that
the Union was indissoIuble, and its powers,
as expounded by its courts, supreme; that
no State can Of its own motion withdrawOr
at the will of its sister States be excluded,
and that the duty of each Stats TO main
tain the Union and its right to take part in
the Government are alike absolute. Every
object of the war ever recognized BY or
known to the army or navy, has been thor
oughIy achieved. The Southern people dec
mated, impoverished, and subdued, have
for more than year past abandoned the
rebellion, and now only ask that the
Union we fought for may be recognized as
existing, and that they may be dealt with
/ as the Constitution and laws prescribe.
The call continues 10 discuss at leugth
the political condition of the country, and
TO urge upon their companions in arms
the principles and policy laid down in the
! Philadelphia Convention.
