Summary
Writing during the presidential campaign of 1864, an unidentified Pennsylvanian writer speaks of the catastrophic implications of the election of General George McClellan who proposes making peace with the confederacy. The writer believes that a peace would not resolve the basic issue of maintaining the Union. He believes that the tensions that brought on the war would remain and would eventually break the Union apart.
