The Resolutions adopted by the
Soldiers and Sailors Convention.

Resolrcd, That the soldiers and
sailors, steadfast now, as ever TO the
Union and the flag, fully recognize
the claims of General Ulysses S.
Grant to tho confidence of the Amer.
lean people, and believing that our
victories under his guidance in war
will be illustrated by him in peace, by
such measures as shall secure the
fruits of our exertions and the restor.
alton of the Union upon loyal bo-
sis, we declare it as our deliberate
conviction that he is tho choice of the
soldiers aud sailors of the Union for
Office of President of the United
States.
Resolccd, That Ia the maintenance
Of those principles which undorlie our
Government aud for which we fought
during four years war, we pledge
our earnest and active support to the
Republican party as the only polti-
cal organization which, in our Judge.
meut, is true to the principles of 10y
atty, liberty and equality.
Rcsolred, That, speaking for our
selves and the soldiers and sailors
who imperiled their lives to preserve
the Union, we believe that the i'm
parchment Of Andrew johnson by
tho House of Representatives for
high crimes and misdemeauors, aud
his trial before the United States
Senate, have presented unmistakable
proofs of his guilt, aud that what.
ever may be the judgement of the
tribunal before which he is arranged,
the verdict is "gailty" by the people;
aud We regard any Senator who has
voted for his acquital as falling short
of the proper discharge of his duties
in this hour of the nations trial, aud
as unworthy of the confidence of
brave and loyal people.
Resoiued, That the soldiers aud
sailors recognize no difference bo-
tween the native aud adopted citizen,
aud they demand that the Govern.
ment protect naturalized citizens
abroad as we'll as those of native
birth.

WHO will be our next Congress-
man."

Under the above heading the Fos-
toria Nclrs, has the following, after
speaking Of tho other candidates
presented;
Con, w. IL. Gibson, Of Seneca is
also candidate, aud Seneca county
will give him her undivided support.
Gen Gibson would, undoubtedly, If
nominated carry a larger vote than
any other man in the district, his war
record is good; he is universal ia
vorite with the soldiers, and would
secure the votes Of many soldiers that
none of the other proposed candidates
could. As an orator he has no Supe
rior in the State. Ho Is an soutspo
ken Republican, Of the Radical school,
aud should lie be nominated, will,
undoubtedly, stump his own district,
aud create an enthGsiasm among the
people never before witnessed in this
district.
While all tho candidates mentioned
are true men aud undoubtedly to bo
relied on, yet Gen. Gibson is not only
the most available candidate, but
combines all the qualities necessary to
make good Representative for the
times; Que who will not shrink from
any responsibility, but will boldly
meet all issues.
