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. ...

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.
