MA peace footing. We believe him to
be honest, capable and conrages'
We believe it will be source Of pleas
rre N ali who bstled for the Union, to
meet once more and revive the memories
Of our old campaigns.
We believe that an expression Of the
ceilings and opinions Of those who defend.
Nine nation on land and sea would OF
lbistime be most opportune,
We believe that such an expression
would be regarded by all right.thinking
men as one proper to be made, and that
i would be productive Of the most benel'
cisl results.
Ne believe that our comrades univcr'
sally desire that such measures shall pre-
vail as will secure the greatest possible
happiness and prosperity Of the whole
people. =
tenders are actuated by no partisan Oh
iaclous motives, but are in favor Of good
government, purity Of public men and
measures, and the elevation and puriaCa
Of our Institutions q,
Webelieve that while all the old veter
sns arc loyalists in the extreme, anC
utterly opposed to any doctrine which
would tend in the slightest degree t
revive the hersy Of secession, they ar
deirOus Of extending charity and full
forgiveness to all OF their former enemie
il the field who now recognize or whit
may hereafter recognize the great wronl
that they have done to our country.
Believing, as we do, that great goo
willresult from the meeting proposed, W
most cordially and earnestly invite a
our former comrades to meet with us 9
Pittsburgh, on the tenth anniversary {
The battle Of Antietam, September Il
1872.
Letus come together again, as we di
IN 1861, sinking all partisan difference.
take our stand now, as then, for our coun
Try, and before and beyond all else, labo
iOFheF honor and glory.
