MY DEAR Mr.. DUDLEY ! apprehend the honor
OF your invitation to the sGeiers @ % ana h ssor Con
cannot be present, having promised TO be in

TO Colonel L. s. Dudley, Chairman.
A delegate moved that the $4,000 soldiers
here assembled In convention send greeting
to General u. =. Grant, President of the
United States, the announcement that they
will give him their unanimous vote in Mo-
vember. The motion was unanimously
adopted.
Then the Secretary read the following com.
munication from an ex.Confederate:
To the Soldiers and Sailors in Convention assem-
bled at Pittsbul gh, September II;
New ORLEANS, La. Sept.
BRETHREN We, the undersigned, who have
fought against you IN the late war, through differ
ences of opinion and other causee now feel the me-
cessity at this time OF preserving peace and har.
mony throughout our glorious Republic, and OF
erasing all differences caused by the late war,
which would never have occurred had 1t not been
for the encouragement and promises Of assistance
held out to us by this same party who are now
striving to renew the old ISSUE and to elect Horace
Greeley, who, have every leason to believe, has
been more or less responsible for the many caam-
flies and misfortuues for which our ueople have
suffered. We cannot consistently though

Baltimore Convention, as we are well aware
