Leafe creased and toned.A FLYER PROMOTING THE REPUBLICAN TICKET IN NEW YORK, WITH LINCOLN AND HAMLIN AT THE TOP.

It goes on to lay out the guiding principles and platform of the party, while casting aspersion on the opposition, "a coalition of factions, not daring to whisper to each other, much less to proclaim to the body of the people, the names of any men whom they prefer for the two highest offices in the nation."
