appear before you in their behalf to
present to you resolution passed
unanimously by them yesterday P.
NJ, as follows
Resolved, That we the soldiers.
and sailors, steadfast now as ever to
the Union and flag, fully recognize
4he claims Of Gen. U. S. Grant to
the confidence of the American peo-.
pie, and believing that victories won:
under his guidance in war will be il
lustrated by him in peace by such
measures as will secure the fruits Of
our exertions, and restore the Union
on loyal basis, we declare our de-
Fliberate conviction that he is the
choice of the soldiers and sailers,of
the Union for the office of President
of the United States. loud ,ap-
plause. -. ..--,.- E. 81. Et.ts. : =
The soldiers of the United States
ask the nomination of Gen. Grant
for President because we love him,
and we love him because he is loyal
to the Union loyal to justice loyal
to freedom, and loyal to right; and
if you will give US our comrade as a
leader in the campaign of 1868, we
will bear upon the enemy's works
as we did in the field in 1864. APP

warmest interest from Republican
soldiers and by Republican Con-

Mr. Spalding, of Ohio, proposed
three cheers for the soldiers and
sailors, which were given with a
will. -@
Elk Senator Lare, of Indiana
move that the nomination of Grant
be now declared by acclamation Of
this Convention.
Mr.. Tremaine, of New York;
presume there is no member of this
Convention who is not tprepared, at
the proper time, to endorse the re-
commendation7 made by the soldiers
and sailors. presume there is not
one loyal heart that does not beat
in unison with the sentiment that
calls upon US to select that great
chieftain, Q. S. Grant, as our stand
ard bearer. Applause. But, sir,
want the proceedings of this Con-
vention to go forth with such Dig
nifty and deliberation as not only
will command our approval, but the
approval of those who sent us here.
Now, I happened to be q member o f.
the Convention in, 1864, when the
same unanimity prevailed, and call.
ed upon the representatives of tho
/ people to select Abraham Lincoln
as their standard bearer, but, sir, q
motion to nominate him by accla-.
