MASS CONVENTION
UNION SOLDIERS OF MAINE.



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
Mass 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 a 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 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 if 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
and unjustifiable assaults upon the private per-
Soudl Oh freSluenC OF Cne Oulteu
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.
Gen. A. E. Burnside of Rhode Island, Sena-
tor Wilson and Gen. B. f. Butler of Massachu
sets and Gen. John III. 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.
