Congressional Convention Of S~Idieys ana


The undersigned recommend that Meeting
Of Soldiers and Sailors be held at the County
Court House in Ottawa, on Saturday, the 9th,
day of June 1868, at o'clock p. NJ, for the pur-
pose OF selecting delegates to the National Con-
sentative Soldiers and Sailors Con vention, to be
held at New York on the 4th of Jaly next
and for the transaction of snch other business as
may properly come before the meeting.
The Soldiers and Sailors Of the Union Army
and Navy went into the war for the sole purpose
of sustaining the Constitution and Union of
mission is ended until all of the States &C.
knowledged to be in the Union, with all of their
constitutional powers.
The same motives which induced us TO 20 into
the army to put down secession will impel us to
oppose disunion, in every form, at the ballot box.
We furthermore believe that our Government
was not instituted for the use of bondhoders
alone; and while we are in favor Of sustaining
our national faith by the payment of the whole
Of our national debt, we insist that the bond.
holder ought not to be paid more than he lent to
the Government, with legal interest thereon, and
that the kind of money with which the Soldiers
and Sailors who fought for the Union were paid,
and the kind OF money with which the pensions
TO the widows and orphans of those who gave
their lives to the Union are paid, is good enough
for the bondholder, who staid at home and rot
rich out of the war rN
We, therefore, ask the Soldiers and Sailors to
meet with US, to aid in securing the perpetuity
OF that Constitution ana Union which they fought
tor and defended from the assaults of secession.
