Continuing Day and Evening.
| The undersigned officers and soldiers of Maine
| in the late war for the suppression of the Re-
bellion, invite their comrades to meet them in
convention in 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 Rebel soldier who fought
to destroy it.
Who believe in extending a Just and gener-
Gus 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 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 intimatou of placing the Rebel SOL
| dlers on the same basis, which il accomplished
| would not only withhold much needed aid from
| those Union soldiers who were rendered help
less by Their 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
Lluo1 rely llI1eS VI great pubic peril,
Who believe that the spresent unparalleled
and unjustifiable assaults upon the private per-
sonal 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. ~l ~
| Gen. A. E. Burnside of Rhode Island, Sena-
tor Wilson and Gen. B. F. Butler of Massachu-
| sets and Gen. John NJ Harlan of Kentucky
