C., 1865 Whereas, We, the undersigned, discharged soldiers and sailors of the United States, being desirous of forming an organization having for its object the maintenance of our best interests, and the fostering of that heroic spirit which led us forth to battle in a sacred cause, and to secure to ourselves a proper recognition of our just claims, among which are the following: First. To procure for honorably discharged soldiers and sailors, who possess sufficient qualifications, the preference in all situations in the gift of the federal, state, and municipal governments. Second. To obtain from government an equalization of the bounties of the soldiers of 1861 and 1862, with the bounties paid to those enlisting later in the war. Third. To procure employment in the general pursuits of life for our comrades who may need such assistance. Fourth. To urge upon the government and the people the just claims of honorably discharged soldiers. And the widows and orphans of our fallen comrades, that a speedy settlement of their claims may be made, and that the condition of widows and orphans may be ameliorated. Fifth. To extend to members, who, by sickness or other misfortune, are prevented from pursuing their usual avocations, such aid as will alleviate their suffering, and for the purpose of more effectually carrying the same into effect, we do hereby ordain and publish the following Constitution, and hereby solemnly pledge ourselves to a hearty and earnest support of the same.
