[6]"On Monday last the freemen of this state assembled in their respective towns to vote for five persons to represent them in the next Congress. As Democracy is considered as having a clear ascendency in this state, little exertions were thought necessary on either side. We presume that that ticket will therefore prevail; though we should not be much surprized if the reverse should be the case.--Our communication with the Eastern part of the state is so obstructed by rough and indirect roads that we can learn but little of the state of politics in that quarter. We learn that the gentlemen generally who compose the democratic ticket are men of small understandings and wholly unfit for legislators. If they are honestly disposed, however, we hope they will take care to do no harm." The Farmer's Museum (Walpole NH), August 29.
[7]"The number of votes given in this year are much less than usual. On a comparison with the gubernatorial votes of March, 1805, they are less democratic than they were at that time." The Farmer's Museum (Walpole NH), September 5.
[8]"The above is a statement of all the votes which have been published. A comparison of them with the number of freemen known to reside in the several towns, will not lead us to form a very high opinion of their attention, or of the estimation in which they hold that most important of their privileges, the elective franchise. Republicans must not be disappointed if their culpable negligence should be found to have entailed upon them the ignominy of being represented by their political enemies." The Political Observatory (Walpole, NH), September 12.
[9]"In the late election for Members of Congress in this State, the Republican ticket has prevailed by a great majority, altho' the meetings in general, were but thinly attended." The Sun (Dover NH), September 27.
