The resolutions offered in the Soldiers
and Sailors Convention were az follows:
WHEREAS, In the late rebellion we
took up arms on the call Of our National
Government, relying on the integrity OF
Congress in its solemn and unanimous
declaration that the object of the war
was to maintain and defend the suDrem-
acy, dignity equality and rights Of the
several states unimpsired, and not in any
sort for oppression, conquest or subjuga
ton; and
Whereas, Since the rebellion was put
down and the wsr terminated, the
Radical party has, by frSudu-
lent use of its power, and by force
of arms prevented the objects for which
the great battles were fought and the
victories won by the army and navy Of
the Union; and whereas that party has
forfeited all claim to, and confidence and .
support, because it has frauduIeBtly and .
fOrclbly Kept States cut of the Union Z
States that our army and navy had .
fought to keep il, and hosts of our COM
rades bled and died to keep in because
il has destroyed the dignity and go sality
and rights OF portion Of the States, and
continues to treat the people as con-
quered, subjugated enemies, exercising
acts Of tyranny unparalleled by those of
Great Britain, which led to cur great
revolution, and pestitied it in the eyes Of
the world because it has placed stigma
upon the otherwise untarnished honor Of
the sailors and soldiers ny imposing upon
those who composed late Confederate
armies, conditions OF degradation ia
violation Of the letter and spirit
of the eapitulatiOn because it has
wholly suspended, If not destroyed
the vital principle OF our Fed
eral republican system Of govern
ment, in ignoring the rights expressly
claimed by the constitution to the States
or by the representative of
the people, usurping the constitutional
preTOgatives of the Executive, and by
nugetnry through legislative
action the judiciary. Because it has
practiced q shameful dHplieity by recog-
nizing them as in the Union and entitled
TO the high privileges of amending the
Federal Constitution, by the abolition Of
slavery in the States to which it has de-
MED the right Of local Legislation and of
al Congress. Because it
las organized and continues to operate
Inder the guise OF charity, at an enOr- ,
nous expense, a political machine
Known as the tfeedmeuis Bureau, I
which 10 hsH welded TO perpetuate
Is power, by establishing under its aus
ices oath bound leagues OF ignorant ne
-rOes, and have deprived intelligent peO-
lie OF our race in the Southern States of
he right OF self gOvernment, and en-
TO place over them, through
be power of tie 6ayOnet, the negroes
atefy slaves-whO are neither qualified
or such high duties by the endOWments

guilty of ignorant and gigantic defal-
atoms aud grCss corruption, in the col.
sction and management OF the public n
ressure, and perverseiy refuses to permit ]
be same to be investigated and exposed. y
because it has praGticed wautOn profit {
aey in the puDlic expenditures, which
lands without a parallel in history and
nreatens irrstrievable national bank
Iptcy.
Because it has been partially oppress-
re in its measures of financial taxation, y
al currency, and has inaugurated =

And because it is guilty of manifold
