J victory of peace and of real fra
/. ternity that the country needs
| and this can never be attained by
the party to which General Grant
has gone over body and soul
They would revive the passions
and hostilities of war in time ot
acknowledged repose: They can
not therefore promote either unity
or welfare.
Many Of those, who served in
the army and navy of the United
States, during the late civil war
now perceive the necessity of "ex'
;tingaishing the revenges Of the
war, abolishing the. military des:
potism now ruling the South, and
giving back to the Southern States
the rights of seH:government and
of an equal and ffaternal Union" "
They are, therefore opposed to
The nomination Of General Grant
for the Presidency. Not that
they would detraet from his MILL
tarysefVices, but that they can
| not eonfde in the, political doc:
trines aud measures ofthe party
with which he has identified his
mama and future. They have is,
sued cab for a. National. Conven-
| ton, Of Soldiers and Sailors, to
meet at New York on the fourth
day of July. =
This cali is at once terse. and
suggestive. 1t is in these words:
WASHINGTON, D. G., June 4, 1868.
In pursuance of,a resolution of
the, National Executive Commit

and Sailors Convention, which as

T from the rule of the Radical party,

the2candidate fer the Radical
party, which for three years past
has prevented the Accomplishment
OF nearly all, Of the ayowed OBJ
fiects of the war, and turned to>the
tdestruction of the Constitution
and the Union the powers eonfded

be will be. no stronger before the
people than the policy he repre-.
sents, if the Democrats and Con,

la soldier whose record OF patriot
tic service. IS as unquesticned as his

fbe fairly considered, and the rea
