To the foreign Voters of the City of Richmond.

--How can you vote for John Minor Botts, who, four years ago, labored to deprive a foreigner of the right of a freeman to vote?

This same gentleman, in the same Convention, proscribed citizens on account of their Religion!

He has not since changed his views; how, then, can you trust him?

This same John M. Botts, under the pretext of saving the Union, gives aid and comfort to Northern Black Republicans, and advocates the use of coercion — by force of arms — of the Southern people who dare to assert their rights.

fe 2--2t A citizen.
