Resolved, That when he claims bv the
acts of the army and navy that he might
have made himself dictator, he insults
every soldier and sailor in the Republic.
and that he ought distinctly to understand
that the tried patriots of this nation can
never be used to overthrow civil liberty or
popular government. Applause.1
"Reso!oed, That the neutrality laws should
be so amended as to give the fullest liberty
TO the citizen consistent with the national
faith; that the great Union Republican
party is pledged to sustain liberty and
equality of rights every where, and, there
fore. we tender to all peoples struggling
forifreedom our sympathy and cordial CO.
operation. (Applause.]
"Resolced, That the Union men of the
South, without distinction of race or color,
are entitled to the protection ofevery loyal
soldier and sailor who served his country
In suppressing the rebellion, and that in
their present dark hour of trial, when they
are being prosecuted by thousands solely
because they are now, and have been, true
to the Governments. we will not prove re-
creant to our obligations but will stand
by and protect with our lives, if necessary,
those brave men who remain true to us,
when all around are false and faithless.

General Butler--"Mr. President,
these form the resolutions offered by
the Committee, and are now before
the Convention. What shall be done
with themr'
General Cochrane-" Mr.. President,
permit me to say that more complete,
just and righteous platform for whole
people to occupy has never before
been presented to the national sense.
I move for the adoption of the report"
[Cheers.
The vote was taken by the entire
audience rising and giving three cheers.
But we must stop right here-we will
not pretend to give an account of all
the sayings and doings of the grand ar
my of the Republic on this glorious oc-
casion. Speeches were made by some
Of the most eminent statesmen and sol
diers of the land. Songs by the fair
ladies of Pittsburg, and cheers by the
"boys in blue" until the whole city
was thrown into the most bewildering
state of excitement. Everybody, men,
women and children, seemed to be run
ming over with joy and enthusiasm, and
when the Convention finally adjourned,
the brave fellows were 10th to leave
each other, many lingering in the city
for two or three days to talk their bat
ties DER with their comrades
This was the most extraordinary and
enthusiastic Convention ever held in
this country, and we hope each succeed
ing year will bring with it a similar
demonstration.
