Sir,
The enclosed Federal Republican Ticket, is earnestly recommended to you for your support, This Day. Our opponents are active—Danger threatens—Every vote is important—One may be decisive. Be therefore on the alert—vote early for your own convenience, and the public good. Bring your friends to the poll, and all will be well. The improvement of the city is carefully regarded—good order and tranquillity abounds—general prosperity is every where apparent. Then secure by your vote This Day, a continuance of the present happy state of things.
Our mayor is independent, faithful, and vigilant:—Who will be mayor if we fail!!! Think on this and hesitate no longer, but vote the whole of the enclosed ticket.
(Naturalized citizens will please to take their certificates with them.)
