Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]The Official Results list 18,055 votes for Jonas Galusha, 16,632 votes for Martin Chittenden and 571 scattering votes; however, the county totals add up to 18,092 for Galusha, 16,781 for Chittenden.
[3]The Washingtonian (Windsor, VT), October 16, The National Standard (Middlebury, VT), October 18, The National Intelligencer (Washington, DC), October 23 report 18,055 votes for Jonas Galusha, 16,632 votes for Martin Chittenden, and 571 scattering votes.
[4]The Green-Mountain Farmer (Bennington, VT), September 11, and The Centinel of Freedom (Newark, NJ), September 19: "STATE ELECTION. While portentious events, favoring hereditary despotism, and the prowess of royal murderers are at present swiftly progressing in Europe, we are constrained to rejoice in view of the smiles of Heaven on the cause of virtuous Independence in the U. States. The prospect of our election is cheering. Martin Chittenden, who from an apparent mixture of cowardice and treachery, shrunk from duty in Sept. last, is, as we conceive, dismissed from the chair he disgraced by the free suffrages of an indignant community."
[5]The National Standard (Middlebury, VT), September 13: "TRIUMPH OF PRINCIPLE. We are happy to announce the truly gratifying result of the recent expression of the public sentiment in Vermont. The cause of truth has once more triumphed. The venerable patriot, JONAS GALUSHA, is once more elevated by the choice of the people to the chief magistracy of this state. We speak in the language of enthusiastic anticipation, and in doing it, we feel warranted by the complexion of the following RETURNS OF VOTES ."
[6]The Vermont Republican (Windsor, VT), September 18: "Federal Modesty. It was diverting to observe what a curious comment the late election in this town was, on the federal claim to 'all the talents, all the property,' and 'all the politeness and gentility' in the country. We have always been willing to admit that the federalists possessed their share of these embellishments, but have doubted the propriety of their exclusive claim. But when, on the first Tuesday in this month, we saw every worthless French emigrant from Canada; every unfortunate man who, with his helpless retinue of children, begs his daily bread or suffers for want of it, and every negro in the town, (an unfortunate race of beings who, in their places, deserve to be treated with humanity and civility, and to enjoy the right of suffrage, but who are not usually the most polite, genteel and well informed part of community) rallied at the polls, and their fingers used as a pair of tongs, or some other machine to convey federal votes to the balloting boxes; and when we heard these same men, the day after the election, enquiring 'who they run upon for Governor yesterday?' our doubts were removed: And we now solemnly promise never again to dispute, in this vicinity, the federal claim to all the property, talents and politeness in town."
[7]The National Standard (Middlebury, VT), September 20: "Thus it appears by the result of the late Election in this State, that a considerable portion of those patriotic citizens who were federal last year--after duly appreciating the conduct of Martin Chittenden in the affair of Plattsburgh and Lake Champlain--have consigned his 'excellecy' to merited retirement, if not merited contempt. And thus are the corrupt doctrines which espoused the cause of Great Britain and opposed our own country, during the late memorable war, fast sinking into their merited disgrace and insignificance."
[8]The Washingtonian (Windsor, VT), October 16: "Perhaps the democrats on this result of their labours may 'piously' sing 'Laus Deo!!' Besides the impiety of thus ascribing to GOD what is manifestly the work of the Devil, we can not but think they are in honor, bound to render a portion of their thanks to those luke-warm federalists who deserted their duty and timidly and wickedly gave up their cause. For there is no doubt that the democrats have succeeded only in consequence of the remissness of their opponents. And as long as federalists continue to swallow the moonshine which the Democrats deal out, so long will they sweat under the yoke. On the contrary, whenever they will march boldly 'up to the work,' they may assure themselves of an honorable triumph."
[9]The National Intelligencer (Washington, DC), October 23: "VERMONT--... The votes for Governor being counted out, stood as follows ... Thus has a total revolution taken place in the politics of this state within a few months."
