Title: Philadelphia, November, 1864. Sir:--On Tuesday next will be the presidential election and these few plain words are addressed to you in no partisan spirit, but with a deep and earnest feeling for the Union and a desire that each voter shall realize the importance of the occasion. ... General McClellan has declared: "The Union is the one condition of peace: we ask no more." With the one, the abandonment of slavery is indispensable, and it is only on other points (distinctly not on this) that liberal terms will be made: with the other, the Union is alone indispensable, and all other subjects will be open to consideration. With General McClellan, debt, taxes, and all other questions can be easily adjusted after reconciliation and Union, and the country be spared the ruin which in some shape must befall it if the present incumbent is re-elected for four years more. ... The enclosed ticket has the names of electors favorable to the election of General McClellan; so, too, those subjoined, which can be detached and voted. If you desire his election, vote early, and give your presence and influence at the polls. Electors: Robert L. Johnston
Description: The list of electors includes 25 more names after Johnston; the electors are listed twice., Originally part of a McAllister scrapbook., Digitized by Alexander Street Press for Images of the American Civil War.
