The SOLDIERS and Sailors" Convention at
Plttsburg.

The Grant press throughout the Union. are
extensively advertising the Pittsburg con-
yention, which Is intended to be used for the
purpose ofiphuencin2 the boys that wore the
blue. to vote for Gen, Grant for the Presi-
dpncy. ANY one reading the call cannot but
notice the absence of any distinguished army
officer; and many of them have been entirely
forgotten, II they ever rendered any impor-
tant service to their country in its time OF
direst need. Perhaps Gen. Powell Clayton,
whose name heads ne list is a fair sample of
those soldiers and sailors" who would fan
the smoudering flames Of hate that they
might continue TO feast on the misforlunes OF
our common country. And who Is Clayton! !!
At the commencement of the war. Clayton
was Il rebel symp1thyser. and wore cOntede-
rate embems on his person, In honor of the
fall of Sumpter This Is no malicious charge
invented for political purposes, but Is vouch-
ed for by ID. Il. Anthony. chairman OF tire
Grant republican committee OF Kansas. and
editor OF the Leavfnworth Times. That Clay
ton afterwards commanded regiment in the
Union army Is true; but that he continually
manifested his opposition to the warpolicy Of
the government. is equally true.
Captain John Lockhart OF Clayton's reGi.
ment was arrested BY Clayton's order, for re-
msng to return fugitive slaves to their mas
tiers, and deprived of his sword until the in
dgnaton of the regiment compelled his re-
lease. Captain Lockhart will be remembered
by old settlers here. as the first member ofthe
state Senate from johnson county, after Kan
sas was admitted as a State. His whole life
was devoted to the principles of universal lib
erty. and vet he was the subject of persecu-
tion in the army on account OF his principles
till the day his death by this man Clayton.
Neither is this any fancy sketch, but the facts
stated can be proven by many members of
Capt. lockharts company now living in
Gardner and McCamish townships in this
county.
or Clayton's subsequent career as carpet
bag Governor of Arkansas and member Of
the U ;. Senate from that state, which posi-
ton he obtained by fraudulent and corrupt
means, the public are already well informed.
1t is gratifying to knoY that the real repub-
licans of Arkansas have determined tn rebuke
this shystering soldier and sailor" poll
tician. and that after the election in Novem-
ber he will be allowed TO retire from his pur-
chased seat in the Senate. TO his hone in
Leavenworth or Philadelphia. a.-KaHsas Mr.

The friends of Greeley claim the

doubt of his friends. AS little use is
