G'levKLAKD, Ohio, Sept. 17 The Soldier
and Sailors' Convention, in response to a call from
those favorable to the policy of President Johnson
of and action of the Philadelphia Convention,
Aagnst the lth, met in this city to-day. A pavil
ion, Kit) leet In length by 60 iu brendtn, had been
erected In the park for the nse of the Convention,
and at f) o'clock the delegations entered, preceded
by a band of music, and were seated; after which
the crowd from the ontside was admitted, and
Slled the tent to its utmost capacity.
Previons to the organization quite a spirited
scene was witnessed tbe delegations rising and
cheering with all their might successively for the
Old Flag,'' and Generals Ouster, liousseau, Wool
and McOlellan; the Constitution, the thirty-six
States and Andy Johnson: and after a brief breath
ing spell, for Grant, Secretary Seward, the Ameri
can Army and General Steadman and Gov. Bram
lette, of Kentucky.
As the cheering was called for and given in each
case, there was a scene of the wildest enthusiasm,
the delegates and spectators rising and swinging
their hats and shouting most vigorously.
By previous arrangement Governor Braralette
nominated Major General John E. Wool, as the
oldest Major General in the United States, and
probably In the world, as the temporary President.
General Wool was received with loud cheers,
and addressed the Convention as follows:
Gentlemen: A greatful heart thanks you for
your cheering welcome. A more Haltering and
cheering position could not have been assigned to
me thau the one just conferred, a.v presiding offi
cer, although but temporarily, over this assemblage
of patriots and heroes tbe true defenders of their
country and the Union. Be assured it will ever
be remembered as the most precious Incident of a
long military career. Tbe object of this great mil
Itary Convention, if I understand It correctly, is
to consider the principles demonstrated by the
National Union Convention at Philadelphia, and
the restoration policy of President Johnson. On
these subjects I would simply remark tbat the
sooner Congress recognizes the States declared by
a majority of its members to be out of the Union
as coustltuted parts of the Union, and admit their
loyal representatives to seats in the halls of Con
gress, and permit them to participate in the r a
tional legislation of the country, the sooner will
be allayed the fears and apprehensions of the peo
ple, of the dangers which again menace the peace
of the country and the perpetuity of the Union.
With the most bitter and vindictive feelings a
war of words for thirty years was carried on be
tween the northern radical abolitlouits and the
slaveholders of the southern States. Everything
was done and said to promote and keep alive tbe
controversy. It finally culminated in a rebellion
In the sprlug of 1SGI, which for atrocity, the sacri
fice of lives, the ezpedlture of untold millions of
money, tbe loss of property, followed by pesti
lence, famine and desolation, has no parallel in
tbe history of nations.
This bloody and desolating war was brought to
a close In the spring of ls65, when tbe rebels, un
able longer to carry on the war, surrendered,
with their armies, to our gallant Generals Grant,
Sherman and others. The rebel armies were per
mitted, under parole, to return to their homes, and
there await the orders of the United States govern
ment, the officers and soldiers of their armies
pledging themselves to become true and laithful
supporters of the Constitution and the laws of the
United States. Such were the terrible results of a
four years' war, caused by the Institution of sla
very. A few days after the surrender of Lee and his
army, President Lincoln was assassinated. This
atrocious crime, greatly mourned by tbe nation,
placed Vice President Johnson in the Presidential
chair. His eleva' ion was hailed by acclamation
throughout the land, and this, too, because of his
love and devotion to his country, and his boldness
while Senator of the United States in advocating
the preservation of tbe Union in opposition to
every other southern Senator. Few men, north or
south, were subjected to greater sacrifices on ac
count of patriotism than Andrew Johnson; and
although plundered of his property and driven
from his borne, he returned again, and by his in
domitable energy and perseverance, with other
patriots of his State, reclaimed Tennessee from
treason and rebellion.
This bold and daring friend of the Union can be
no traitor ! But, strange as It may appear, he is
denounced as a traitor, and threatened by the radi
cal members of tbe Republican party with im
peachment. It may be asked, with propriety,
what has President Johnson done that he should
be denounced as a traitor, and threatened with Im
peachment! Is it for anything more thau for the
exercise of the most noble and generous efforts to
conciliate and bring bark Into the folds of the
Union a brave people, and make the United States
what they should be a united, great people
It ought not to be forgotten that the cause
(slavery) which engendered the rebellion has been
removed. Three or four millions of slaves had been
declared free by an amendment of the Constitution.
Those of the southern States most interested In the
abolition of slavery, which deprived them of a
large amount of what they called property, and
which they had considered all Important to their
interests and welfare, quietly submitted to the
amendment. Those who prepared the amendment
omitted to guard against wnat wouta ioiiow wnen
too late.
It was discovered that the freeing of 4, IKK), 000 of
slaves would increase the southern representation
In Congress, from twenty-five to thirty Represeu
' tatives. This was to be overcome, lest the aboli
tion radicals should lose their control of the gov
ernment. Yon ask of Congress another amend
ment of the Constitution. Failing In these efforts,
all that bitterness of feeling has been revived
which existed for thirty years between the radicals
of the east and north and southern slaveholders.
Another civil war is foreshadowed unless the
freed men are placed on an equality with their
previous masters. If this cannot be accomplished,
radicals partisans, with a raging thirst for blood
andplunder, are again ready to Invade the south
ern States, and lay waste the territory not already
desolated. With the sword on the one hand aud
ie torch on the other, these revengeful partisans
would leave their country a howling wilderness for
the want ot more victories to grainy an unsparing
cruelty. If they should succeed la inflicting on
tbe country another war, It would be more terrible
than the one from which we have lust emerged. It
.could not be confined to the southern states, but
would extend itself over the length and breadth of
the United States, and only close with tne over
throw of the best government ever devised, and
ithe destruction of the finest country on the face
of the globe.
If such should be the fate our great republican'
empire, the cause must not be sought for In our
military camDS, but In the lor urn, thronged with in
flammatory orators and aspiring demagogues, with
ouls dead to their country's honor and spoiled
with enrruDtion. I need not tell this great assem
blage of officers, soldiers and tailors, most of
whom have been engaged in many perilous
battles defending their country ana tneir ooun.
trv's honor, that war Is a great evil, indeed
h. that can befall any country or
people. It has ever been the curse of nations
nil tha Annua nf all the oppression imposed on the
people of Europe. If you would guard your once
free and happy and prosperous country from op
pression and oppressive taxes, beware how you
.,n,-. .r Y'.nnonraee not demagogues who,
to gratify ambition or revenge, would drench their
country in blood. The loss of liberty commences
follows oppression. The
United States as conquerors can afford to be just
and magnanimous; the brave are ww.ji uwiviiu.
and generous. As President Johnson said, "We
tave had war enough; let there be peace."
Tf.nniiep.t that th. meant rebellion, engendered by
Tadical abolitionists and those slaveholders, leaves
tha northern States with more than a hundred
thousand pensioners, besides thousands and ten
of thousands of widows and orphans to weep
over the graves of their only protectors and the
defenders of the Union. Yet there are those among
us who are not sufllcieutly satisfied with blood

and plunder, and cry for more war ! In conclusion
I would chII upon yon, officers, soldiers aid
sailors, to stand by the Union, which. In a war of
fonr years, when blood flowed In torrents, by your
gallantry, and Indomitable perseverance and
courage was saved from ruin and destruction.
I entreat you to spare no efforts to preserve this
republlo intact the last hope of tbe oppressed of
the world.
With confident expectations that yon will, as
heretofore, prove yourselves the saviors of your
country, I again gratefully thank you for the honor
you have this day conferred on me, and assure
you tbat I ever will be with you In the defence
of our glorious Union.
The speech was greeted with applause through
em, and long continned cheering at Its close.
The passages declaring that Johnson can be no
traitor, that the brave are always generous, and
that, as the President says, "we have had war
enough," were cheered with particular enthu
siasm. Prayer was offered by Captain W. O. Turner,
formerly of the 4!Uh Ohio Infantry.
On motion of General Lewis, of Kentucky, Oapt.
J. O. M. Furblsb, of Maine, and Major Duval Eng
lish, of Kenturky. were elected the Secretaries.

On motion of Hon. L. D. Campbell, of Kentucky,
the rules of order of the United States House of
Representatives were adopted until otheswise or
dered, with a provision tbat all resolutions per
taining to principle be referred to the Committee
on Resolutions and Address, without reading or
debate.
On motion of James T. Boyd, the following reso
lution was adopted :
Resolved, That the Presidents of the different
State delegations report to tbe President of the
permanent organization the names of all the mem
bers of their respective delegations who are known
to be dishonorably discharged the service of the
United States, and that such persons so reported
be not allowed to participate in the proceedings of
this Convention.
General Custer announced that many of the dele
gations were not yet full, that members were now
on their way, who ought to have an opportunity
to participate In the business of the parmaneut
organization, and be therefore offered a resolution
to adjourn nntil ten o'clock to-morrow morning.
Subsequently this resolution was withdrawn,
and Mr. Campbell moved that General Thomas
Ewing, Jr., of Kansas, now address the Conven
tion. In response to calls from all sides. General
Ewing appeared upon tbe stand, and was Intro
duced by tbe President saying: "If you have any
cheers to give, you can give them." Loud cheer's
greeted this suggestion and General Ewing, who
proceeded to address the Convention at great
engtn on an tne political topics oi tne oay.
fie saia they nad assembled to consult as to their
uty and action In tbe Impending political con
flict; they owed allegiance to no political party, bat
to the country aud its laws. Before tbe war many
of them had been Republicans, many of tbem
Democrats, with varying opinions on the question
of slavery. That question was decided in the con
test of 18G0. At the close of the contest eleven
States withdrew from the Union, and the Presi
dent called upon the people to come forward aud
suppress the revolt. The call was promptly re
sponded to by Democrats, Republicans and Bell
and Everett men, and after tour years of war the
rebellion was suppressed.
What bound us together in that conflict of arms!
Not hatred of slavery; for on that question we
differed. Not love of war; for we all desired
peace. Not hatred of the southern people; for
they were our countrymen. No, it was the senti
ment of nationality, the determination that the
Union should be preserved and made perpetual
that was the only purpose of the war, and was so
recognized by tbe army and navy of the United
States. That was the sentiment that raised all our
armies, and the guide of tbem all. Neither army,
nor navy, nor people naa any other purpose.
Lincoln adhered throughout the war to that
purpose.
When it was said that the rebellion was stagger
ing and about to fail, the radicals began to consider
how the contest could be wound up so as to per
petuate their power and promote their sectional
theories and Interests. A month after the amnesty
proclamation of Lincoln they presented their plan
of reconstruction through Henry Winter Davis,
declaring tbe southern States annihilated, and re
quiring the readmission of the same as territories.
Lincoln refused to sign It, and they then opened
their assaults on him the same as now upon John
son, and for precisely the same reason a conven
tion was called at Cleveland to denounce Lin-
coin's plan.
rue speaker nere read the can ior that conven
tion, which he said sounded like a blast from tbe
bugle of Greeley or Forney. At the present day
the same men are now threatening to impeach
Johnson, The same men who stood by Lincoln
then, stand by Johnson now, with the single ex
ception of Mr. L,ane, or Indiana. The f residen
tial canvass came on, and tbe party that had car
ried on the war met in convention at Baltimore
and renominated Lincoln by acclamation. That
Convention passed a resolution, drawn by Hon.
H. J. Raymond, that the only declaration of peace
and restoration were the surrender of the rebel
army and the return of the southern people to
their allegiance. The radicals clung on to the
skirts of the war party, and thereby secured their
re-eiection; dui nothing daunted, they renewed
tneir onBiaugnt on tne president.
In tbe light of this recital, is it Johnson or Con
gress that has turned traitor to the principles on
which be and Lincoln and Congress were elected?
Congress still wishes to blow tbe embers ot war
while Johnson desires peace. They will have no
peace except on terms which secure party and sec
tional dominion, wnue Johnson desires union on
the basiB of the Constitution. The secessionists
drove tbe States into rebellion by the dreaded cry
of the abolitionist, while the radicals keep the
Union separated by the still mere dreaded cry oi
traitor! That cry bad no terror to the soldiers.
Their oath taken on entering tbe army bound tbem
to preserve the Union by every means in their
power. They owed allegiance rather to the Con
stitution man to pnuaninropia theorists, nowever
right. To save that Constitution they were ready
to strike hands with the Democratic party, and
laDor witn it so long as it remains true to tne
Union.
The speaker discussed at length the Question of
tne constitutional ameudment, holding that we
will look in vain for the south to vote to degrade
vuu.lMio oi tneir aDiesi men, or to surrender one.
fourth of their representatives us a penalty for re
fusing suffrage to the negroes. The Louisiana
Convention Intended to make rulers of the ne
groes and slaves of the whites, and when Con
gress reassembles they will probably do it. The
army with which Grant split the confederacy In
two would not be able to preserve order. Anarchy
would ensue, ana proDttDiy another civil war,
whose ashes would cover tne foundations of the
government.
General Ewing elaborately argued the various
constitutional questions at length, being greeted
with great applause, and, at the close, loud cheers
and tbe thanks of the Convention, which resolved
to publish the speech in their proceedings. There
was speaking during the evening by various
speakers.
The Convention then adjourned pursuant to the
resolution offered by Uen. Custer.
