                    <text>&lt;p&gt;To the Loyal Citizens of the United States.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New York, January 28, 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The day is not far distant when you will be called upon to elect an occupant for the Presidential Chair.  This is a most important and momentous question, well worthy of your careful consideration.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From the 12th of April, 1861, our march onward has been steady and grand.  The heart of the people has been true to the great principles of liberty, which are to be maintained to the END.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In ABRAHAM LINCOLN the loyal people have found a true leader, and an able defender of the great ideas upon which our Government was founded.  He has been tried and not found wanting.  No man in modern times ever came into office under such trying circumstances--none ever worked more diligently to bring discordant elements together and make them move in harmony.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From the chaos of human passions, dishonest interests, political intrigues, and subtle treason pervading every department of Government, order has been created, and although in the midst of a war of almost unparalleled magnitude, we move on as in times of the most sublime peace.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is therefore proposed that on the 22d of February, 1864, all citizens of the United States, without regard to party, who are in favor of the re-election of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, shall meet at appropriate places, within their towns, counties, or states, for the purpose of giving public expression of their sentiments upon this most important question.

                <text>&lt;p&gt;To the Loyal Citizens of the United States.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New York, January 28, 1864.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The day is not far distant when you will be called upon to elect an occupant for the Presidential Chair.  This is a most important and momentous question, well worthy of your careful consideration.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From the 12th of April, 1861, our march onward has been steady and grand.  The heart of the people has been true to the great principles of liberty, which are to be maintained to the END.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In ABRAHAM LINCOLN the loyal people have found a true leader, and an able defender of the great ideas upon which our Government was founded.  He has been tried and not found wanting.  No man in modern times ever came into office under such trying circumstances--none ever worked more diligently to bring discordant elements together and make them move in harmony.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From the chaos of human passions, dishonest interests, political intrigues, and subtle treason pervading every department of Government, order has been created, and although in the midst of a war of almost unparalleled magnitude, we move on as in times of the most sublime peace.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is therefore proposed that on the 22d of February, 1864, all citizens of the United States, without regard to party, who are in favor of the re-election of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, shall meet at appropriate places, within their towns, counties, or states, for the purpose of giving public expression of their sentiments upon this most important question.
