The Soldiers Convention which met
in Pittsburg on the 9TH of June last,
and which pledged their comrades in
this State to the support Of the radical
measures Of Congress, in opposition to
the just and constitutional policy of
President johnson, and which promis-
ed their votes to John w. Geary, the
radical candidate for Governor, mis-
represented the sentiments of the great
mass of the officers and soldiers of
Pennsylvania In order that true
expression of opinion might be had
from the late defenders Of the govern
ment in the field, and to cOunteract the
injury attempted to be done to the
cause Of the Union, it was deemed adj
Wis ble by the late officers and soldiers
of the Federal army in this State to
hold another Convention.
A preliminary meeting of returned
officers and soldiers, with this object in
view, was holden on Thursday, the
28th Of June, when it was resolved to
hold
