[1]Joseph Green was supported by the Republicans, although he was a Federalist.
[2]"Mr. Editor... the democrats in this county detered by their insigficancy as a party, have long declined making head, in their political capacity, against the federal influence in this quarter. Catching however, this yer the impulse, which has been communicated to their whole party in the State, by the masterhand in Baltimore, they have been violent and zealous in their efforts to divide us." Federal Republican (Georgetown, DC). October 10, 1815.
[3]"Accordingly they arranged and systematised an opposition...; and to bring their efforts to bear, selected Col. Green one of the candidates for the Sheriffalty, as the object of their patronage- This gentleman is a federalist as well as his opponent, Thomas A. Davis." Federal Republican (Georgetown, DC). October 10, 1815.
