An informal meeting of soldiers and sailors who were present in Philadelphia, Pa., in attendance upon the Republican National Convention, convened at Assembly Hall, in that city, on the evening of June 5th, and organized with General Ambrose E. Burnside, of Rhode Island, as chairman, and General Damel Woodall, of Delaware, as secretary. On motion of Col. L. E. Dudley, it was resolved that a committee of one from each State be appointed by the chair, that said committee be instructed to issue a call for a National Mass Convention of Soldiers and Sailors. At a meeting held on the following morning the committee was announced, and requested to meet, the same evening, at the Continental Hotel. At the meeting of the committee Gen. A. E. Burnside was added as a member at large, and elected its chairman, and Col. L. E. Dudley was elected secretary. The officers of the committee were then authorized to prepare and issue the call, which they did on the 5th July, in the following words: - The Call. Headquarters Veteran´s National Committee, Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York City, July 5, 1872 To the Soldiers and Sailors who served in the Union Army and Navy during the late War: Comrades - The undersigned, a committee appointed for the purpose by a meeting of veterans from all sections of the country, who were assembled in Philadelphia upon the 5th day of June, in attendance upon the Republican National Convention, and which meeting unanimously resolved to abide by the support the nominations of said convention, hereby invite you to meet in mass convention at Pittsburg. Pa., on the 17th day of September, 1872, for the purpose of expressing our unreserved belief that the destinies of this country, for the ensuing for years, should be under the protection of men who never faltered in the hour of our country´s greatest danger. We believe that men should be placed in high positions of State, who, in the hour of our greatest peril gave that intellect, personal reputation, and personal faith in the justness of our cause, which was necessary to save the country and place us in the position we now occupy. We congratulate ourselves upon the fact that the government, during the pas three and one-half years, has been administered by one of our comrades, who has shown wonderful civil capacity in aiding the reduction of the public debt, in conducting our foreign affairs with great skill, so that we now stand at peace with the whole world, and in preserving peace sections of our country where sentiments were entertained calculated to disturb the reorganization of the States lately in rebellion.
