Conservative soldiers and sailors being the
same as animated them during the war, de-
plOring Radical Legislation, denouncing the
apostacy OF men who were once Democrats,
declaring that the crimes now being perpetra-
ted in the name of Republcanism and loyalty,
are not less alarming than those committed by
the armed foe of the Government during the
war. The address makes long Indictment
against the Republican party for many acts
since 1t came into power, and declares the be-
lief that they intend, by the use of the army
under Grants supreme control, to cause the
electoral votes OF some States to be cast for
himself by force and fraud, and declares the
solemn conviction that the free institutions of
the country have never been in greater jeOpar-
dy than now, and looks to the deliberations of
the Democratic party now assembled in Con-
ventlon with the greatest anxiety, believing
that on their action depends the future pros
perity of our country. 1t expresses the belief
that there are now living half million of men
who served in the army of the country, who
are IN their sympathies and judgments opposed
to the acts of the party in power, and at least
half million more who heretofore acted with
the Republican party, but viewing with alarm
the recent acts of that party, are now anxious
for change of administration. The address
closes by declaring that with platform of
principles revlvlng no mean issues, looking on
ly to the arrest of existing evils, and with can
didates whose fidelity to the Constitution, and
devotion to the country cannot be questioned
we shall cooperate with the Democracy in
