THE STAR IN THE EAST"

Great Preparations for nm Exciting Cam.
pnign-A Call Issued to Union Soldiers
Of the Statc-A Grand Republican
Demonstration to Take Place on tho
27th Inst.
PORTLAND, Me-, August II, 1872. ,
The next great political event OF this season in
this state will be the mass Convention of Union
soldiers be held in his city the 9th inst. The
call is to all Union soldiers in Maine who cherish
the great principles for which the war was fought
to victorious end; who believe that a Union SOL
der who fought to save the Republic has larger
claims upon the government than a rebel
soldier who fought to destroy it; who believe
in extending just and generous hand to
a defeated foe but who are opposed TO granting
amnesty and pardon to such rebels as Jacob ThOmp-
son. who plotted the destruction OF Northern cities
by the most cruel incendiarism, involving the de-
structon Of women and children; who believe that
the Union soldiers entitled to the largest PEN
sions the government Is able to pay, and who view
with alarm even the remote intimation Of placing
the rebel soldiers on the same basis, which, If &C.
complished, would not only withhold much needed
aid from those Union soldiers who were rendered
helpless by their wounds, but would utterly con-
found all demonstrations OF patriotism and treason,
and would deprive the government in future
it must always rely In times OF great public
peril who believe that the present unparalleled
ana unJuStinaDle assault upon the private personal
character OF the President OF the United States
the first soldier OF the ageare but the emanatiOns
of bitter partisan hostility, and should be rebuked
ana denounced by all who appreciate the honesty
OF the man and the m0desty OF the hero.
The call has the names OF 1000 soldiers in all
parts OF the State already appended, and additions
are made by every mail. Invitations are to be
tended to all the campaign clubs In the State, and
an evening demonstration is expected that will
equal the great torchlight procession OF 1880.
General Burnside, Senator Wilson, General Butler
and General John N. Harlan of Kentucky, are ex-
pected TO be present. BY the arrangement for
ira trains and half fares the committee expect to
make this the greatest political gathering that ever
has taken place in Maine.

it is nevertheless patent :oany careful observer,

than putting the whole military power Of the

In eEtcuuaaon Of this outrage upon popu-

OF Gen. Grant in Congress- that there is a ne

Blair wei says, facts have never, and still less
