The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1868-06-13
Congressional Convention Of sold.
ic:s ana Sailors.

The undersigned recommend that meeting of
soldiers and sailors be held at the County Court
House III Ottawa, on Saturday the 27th dav of
June 1858 at o'clock y. NJ, for the purpose of
selecting delegates to the National Conservative
soldiers and Sailors Convention, to be held at
New ork ON the 4th OF July next, and for the
transaction of such other business as may proper
ly 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 these
States inyiolate, and we do not believe our mis-
sion Is ended until all Of the states are acknoledg-
ed 10 be in the Union with all of their constitu-
tional powers.
The same motives which induced us to go into
the army 10 put down secession will inpel us 10
oppose disunion in every form at the ballot box
We furthermore believe that our Government
vas not instituted for the use Of bonlholders at
I; and while we are in favor of sustaining our
atlolel flith by the payment of the whole Of
ur national debt, we insist that the bondholder
ught not to be paid mare than he lent TO the
cyernmont, with legal interest thereon and that
he kind Of money with which the soldiers and
lilors who fought for the Union were paid, and
Ie kind of money with which the pensions to
ne widows and orphans Of those who gave their
yes 10 the Union paid, is good enough for
he bondholder, who stayed at home and got rich
1t Of The war.
We Therefore, ask all soldiers and sailors to
Get with Us, % aid in securing the perpetuity
that Constitution and Union which they
night Tor and defended from the assaults Of
.es,ion.
