TYRONE, Nov. 5th,
1860.
DEAR COLONEL: In a
conversation with Mr. Sanford yesterday afternoon, we came to the conclusion to
advise you that in case any other of the professors vote in the election
to-morrow, you would do so also, if you are entitled to vote, lest cavillers
should impugn your motives for refraining from voting, and you did so because
there was no ticket here that suited you. We think too that the manifestation
of independence in voting, provided any other professor vote, will have a good
effect.
Your right to vote
will depend on whether you were within the limits of this state on the 5th day
of last November. The polls open at 9 a.m. and close at 4 p.m.
