MASS CONVENTION
OF THE-~-
UNION SOLDIERS OF MAINE.

Portland, Tuesday, August ~, 1872.
The undersigned officers and soldiers of
Maine in the late war for the suppression OF
the rebellion invite their comrades to meet
them in Mass Convention in Portland, on
Tuesday the 9th day Of August, to consider
their duties in the pending Presidential cleo
ton.
This invitation is cordially and earnestly
extended to all Union soldiers OF Maine:
Who cherish the great principles for which
the war was fought to victorious end;
Who believe that Union soldier who
fought to save the Republic has larger claims
upon the Government than rebel soldier who
fought to destroy it.
Who believe in extending just and gen
erous hand to a defeated foe, but who are op-
posed to granting amnesty and pardon to such
rebels as Jacob Thompson, who plotted the
destruction of northern cities by the most
cruel incendiarism; involving the destruction
of women and children;
Who believe that the Union soldiers are
entitled to the largest pensions the Govern
ment is able to pay, and who view with alarm
even the remote intimation of placing the
rebel soldiers on the same basis, which if ac-
complished would not only withhold much
needed aid from those Union soldiers who
were rendered helpless by their wounds, but
would utterly confound all distinctions of pat
riotism and treason, and would deprive the
Government in future exigencies of that 10y
atty and love on which it must always rely in
times of great public peril
Who believe that the present unparalleled
and unjustifable assaults upon the private
personal character of the President of the
United States, the first soldier of the age, are
but the emanations of bitter partisan hostility
and should be rebuked and denounced by all
who appreciate the honesty of the. man and
| the modesty of the hero.

Greeley's Bargains.

Naturally, in bargain such as has been
entered into between Greeley and the Demo-
Gratis, the Democrats have been called upon
first to fulfill their part, in the effort to place
Greeley in position to do what he has
agreed to do by way Of compensation. What
he has already done, and what is expected OF
him, is thus summed up by the Syracuse
Journal:
"Thus far, the most that Mr.. Greeley has
been called upon to do toward the fulfillment
of the bargain which he has made with Ho-
ratio Seymour and his confreres, has been to
forsake the principles of protection, plant
himself on the hypocritical Cincinnati plat
form, and wait to be taken up by the De-
mocracy at Baltimore. But it is well under
stood that in the event of his election he will
be required to fulfill his part of the infamous
contract to the very letter. 1t is so nomi-
mated in the bondn all the Democratic Shy
locks will exclaim; and Mr.. Greeley will not
be able to find any favoring Venetian law by
which to escape from the agreement which he
has made"
The account Of this corrupt secret bargain
explains to the Ogdensburg Journal several
things which till now have been great myS-
teries to it. 1t says: sit would explain his
trip to Texas, his speech at Memphis, his
eulogy of the Southern Confederate soldiers.
his pilgrimage to Atlanta; his letter to the
editor of the Caucasian, in which he says the
mistake of the Democratic party in 1868 was
in not nominating Salmon r. Chase; his in
timation that MIR. Chase would not do in
1872, and his conduct in constantly holding
up Gen. Grant, rs . terror to be repeated.
if the Democratic party dared to make q
straight nomination in 1872"

election? They openly tell us that it is this
hope which inspires them; for the greater
always swallows the less. General Grant
early said that he had no policy to pursue
against the will of the people. To that
promise he has been faithful. He may be
confidently relied upon to approve and exc
cute whatever laws a Republican Congress
may pass. L return then to the question
which L propounded at the outset. Can
complete equality before the law as inter-
preted by your speech in the Senate on the
18th of January, 1872, be more effectually
established through the party which supports
General Grant for the Presidency, or through
the party which supports Mr.. Greeley? 1t
is the hope of every colored man in Virginia,
with whom 1 have conversed, who still re-
veres your name, that you will answer this
question by at least not opposing the triumph
of the party with which you have been con-
nected from its infancy; although they do not
see how you can carry out the intention ex-
pressed in your letter of June 81, to l.. U.
Reavis, of doing all you can to save the Re-
publican party other than by supporting the
regular Republican nominee.
Yours, with the highest regard,
G. w. MITCHELL.

Resignation Of Another Member
of the Liberal Republican
Committee.
He Will Support Grant and Wilson.

He Will support Grant and Wilson.
New YORK, July p, 1872.
Hon. Thos. E. StepaH, Chairman Liberal Re-
publican Central Committee:
DEAR SIR: The singular course political
events have taken during the past few months,
has occasioned not little perplexity in the
minds of honest and patriotic men. Not as
to the principles they should adopt in the
present campaign, but simply as to the stand
they should take in order best to secure the
triumph of the principles they have long pro-
fessed and cherished. From first to last
have acted with the Republican party. be-
ieved its principles to be rooted in justice
and friendly to liberty. Their success has
been the salvation of the nation. Dissen-
tions occurred IN the ranks of the party in
this city. L chose to act in my district with
what was known as the Greeley faction, be-
lieving that L could there best serve the par
ty, the State, and right. But recent events
have forced upon me the conviction that the
line of duty no longer lies with that faction.
The contest is no longer between factions of
the Republican party, but between the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties-pure and SIM
Pile. In that contest l propose to stand by
the Republican party. L therefore herewith
tender my resignation as member of the Lib
eral Central Committee from the Seventh
Assembly District.
Very respectfully, S. T. STREETER.
New national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1870-1874, 1872-08-01

struck hands with the rebel South. who are
going to have meeting of some soldiers OF
the war with rebel soldiers and join hands
IN behalf OF Horace Greeley and the Repub-
llcan party. There are some soldiers, fellow
| citizens, who won't join hands there, for,
poor fellows, they have lost them. You will
find no man there with but one hand, sticking
out his stump that Wade Hampton may shake
it; you will find few men hobbling on crutch
going to the jailor of Andersonville and re-
joicing with him over Mr.. Greeley's election.
Therefore say am glad they have nomi-
mated Mr.. Greeley, because, whatever may
be its result, it is the last fight of the war.
1t is an attempt by the rebels to get back at
the ballot-box what they lost at the cartridge
box and the bayonet. 1t is an attempt to
get back into power, to bring back the Demo-
crazy of the South, and they would swallow
the devil in order to get into power, much
more Horace Greeley, who has abused them
almost up to to-day. 1t shows the necessity
of the Democratic party when it comes up
and agrees to take as its candidate man
who since 1910 has been persistent only in
one thing-and that is, loud-mouthed news
favor of protection. Now he has abandoned
protection, and taken up the Democratic
party. The question comes home to us, as
IN 1861, Which will you vote for, the slave
power, the rebel power, the men that muir
dered your brothers and your sons at Ander-
sonville, or will you vote for the Republican
party? Why, they say they have got Horace
Greeley at the head. Oh, the lions skin is
not long enough to cover the ass's ears. We
have no doubt as to what is under the skin.
We know-every thinking man knows-that
Horace Greeley in the hands of the repre-
sentatives of the Shareholders would be but
wax, to be pounded into anything they
pleased. Whoever gets the Democratic votes
is party man, and can go in no other drec-
ton than the party will allow him.
The General further remarked as to the
probable destination of the colored vote:
They tell us that Greeley will get the negro
vote. Let me tell you-and 1 have good
sources of acknowledgement he won't carry
any negro votes. Oh, yes; take that back.
I see prominent negro in Maryland has
come out for him, who held a special office in
the Post Office Department and lost it, and
so he goes for Greeley. The negro knows all
about it, and he will take good care he don't
vote that way, unless pistol is put to his
breast to convince him. And now that the
Democrats have nominated Mr.. Greeley, 1
hold that no man can vote for him and call
himself a Republican ever afterwards.

Has the Black Man Enemies?

Frederick Douglass in late article says
that
wherever else Mr.. Greeley may have
been in other days, wherever he may be to-
day, to his inner consciousness he is practi-
cally with the political enemies of the black
mans liberty"
Whereupon the Tribune innocently asks.
But how does Mr.. Douglass know that
there are political enemies of the black
mans liberties p" Sure enough !. it has
come to that, as we expected it would. Our
whilOm Abolition and Republican journal has
at last found that Democrats, Copperheads,
and rebels are all reconciled to the negro.
and the results of Republican domination in
the country are such that the black mans
former enemies have put away all hatred and
prejudice. We have clasped hands across
"t the bloody chasm," says Mr.. Greeley and
his paper. Very true; but whose hands
have been clasped? Not the negroes, you
may be sure. The dusky hands that were
vainly raised in the days of slavery to the
Democratic party, North and South, praying
for relief, now that they show the ballot in
stead of their bonds will not submit to the
treacherous clasping to which they are in
vited, lest they and their possessors be pulled
into " the bloody chasm" in which so many
patriot dead lie buried.
The Tribune, wilfnlly blind to facts, in
ssts that there are no 6 enemies to the black
mans liberties" yet every citizen who reads
or who observes knows that the hopes of
those who by oppression, whips, and scorns
showed their enmity to the cOlored man in
former days, which had been almost buried
by continued Republican ascendency. are re-
viving again under the baneful blandness
and unparalleled treachery of the bailor of

Vice President COlfax.

1t ought by this time to be everywhere adj
mitted that Vice President ColfaX is unre-
servedly in favor of the election of Grant and
Wilson. Many Greeley organs, however. re-
fuse to admit it, and even state the contrary.
To them this statement from the South Bend
Qnd.) Register of last week, may be distaste-
full, but they ought to remember it. The
Register says: "The very moment he received
the news at Washington that the Philadel-
phia Convention had decided to nominate
another than himself, he telegraphed his
prompt and cheerful adhesion to the new
ticket. Subsequently, in his remarks to the
Indiana delegates at Washington, and at the
serenade on his arrival home, he reiterated
that Endorsement. He has been on the
streets of our city every day since, and to
hundreds of all parties and all shades of
opinions, he has illustrated his fidelity to
principle by similar declarations. When he
made the canvass of the State in the fall of
1870, which resulted in his almost fatal i'll
ness Of the next spring, he stated that he
did not expect to be a candidate for re-elec-
ton and, from the well known historical and
political fact that no Vice President of the
United States, not having the excuse of be-
ing candidate, has ever gone into an active
political canvass in a Presidential and Vice
Presidential campaign, he told the people
everywhere that was his last political CAM
paigning. The report of his Crown Point
speech of October 5, 1870, states: The
greatest enthusiasm was manifested at the
close of the speech, but his statement that
it was the last political campaign in which he
should take part was received with evident
feelings of deep regret by his hearers
While Mr.. Colfax intends to adhere (not be-
ing candidate) to what was then so unani-
mOusly understood, except, probably, another

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 90, 1872.
To the Editor Of the New National Era:
There are times in our lives when the adj
vent of the death-angel is accompanied with
peculiar agony, when the shock comes with
a greater agony, bringing, as it were, a re-
fnement Of suffering times when the heart,
stabbed by the suddenness of the blow, fails
to recognize, amid its depths of grief, the
hand of Him who docth all things WE'LL"
1t was with feelings of the deepest sorrow
that we learned of the death of our dear
friend, Mrs. JOSEPHINE L. SLADE-to us a
friend in the fullest sense. Never can we
cease to remember the winning grace with
which she welcomed US to our new home, and
the affectionate interest she manifested in
our behalf, when weary and homesick,
strangers in a strange land" we came from
our Western home to reside here, nearly five
years ago. Her genial presence, her en-
couraging tones, SO grateful to the strangers
heart, inspired and cheered us, put new vigor
into our soul, and strengthened us anew for
the battle of life. And in our trial hour,
when the hand Of affection lay heavily upon
US, and sickness and death visited our house,
hold, then did her Christian virtues shine
more beautifully forth, as with gently whis-
pered words of consolation, she soothed our
grief-stricken hearts, and pointed to the spir-
it-land whittier the loved ones had flown.
And thus it ever was. Her life seemed one
continuous act of benevolence; her heart,
hlled with love toward her fellow-beings,
overlooked in good works her chief enjoy

her. Intelligent, refined, charitable-who
shall supply her place? For life so useful,
30 beautiful, so true, there could be but one

earnest efforts, she has passed to her reward.
Her pure spirit now enjoys the society of
those higher intelligences, who, with beauti-
iui crowns upon their brows, and bearing the
eonqueror's palm, worship before the Great
White Throne. She has crossed the crystal
sea, she has entered through the pearly gates
INTO the beautiful city; and we who knew
and loved her, who appreciated her worth,
remain to mourn dur loss. May the memory
