UNION SOLDIERS OF MAINE.


Portland, Tuesday, August -, 1872.
The undersigned officers and soldiers of Maine
i'll the late war for the suppression of the Re
belllon, invite their comrades to meet them in
Mass-Convention i'll PORTLAND on TUESDAY,
the 9th day of August, to consider their du-
ties in the pending Presidential election.
This invitation is cordially and earnestly eX-
tended 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 a Rebel soldier who fought
| to destroy it.
Who believe in extending just and gener-
GUS hand to a defeated foe, but who are OPP
posed to granting amnesty and pardon to such
| rebels as Jacob Thompson, who plotted the
destruction of northern cities by the most cru
ell incendiarism involving the destruction of
women and children;
Who believe that the Union soldiers are en-
titled to the largest Pensions the Government
| is able to pay, and who view with alarm even
the remote intimatiou of placing the Rebel SOL
| diers on the same basis, which il accomplished
would not only withhold much needed aid from
| those Union soldiers who were rendered help
| less by thei- wounds, but would utterly con-
found all distinctions of patriotism and treason,
and would deprive the Government in future
eXigencies of that loyalty and love on which it
must always rely in times of great public peril;
Who believe that the present Unparalleled
sonal character of the President of the United
States, the first soldier of the age, are but the
carnations 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.
Gen. A. L. Burnside of Rhode Island, Sena-
tor Wilson and Gen. b. f. Butler of Massachu-
sets and Gen John NJ. Harlan of Kentucky
and other distinguished soldiers and citizens of
this and other States will address the Conven-
ton.
Excursion trains will be run on the principal
railroads at greatly reduced rates.
