[9]"By the above Canvass, it appears that the republican ticket in this county has succeeded by a larger majority than we have heretofore laid it at. -- Never have the republicans of Otsego done greater honor to themselves than they have at the late election. We trust that they will henceforward remember that it is to unanimous exertions alone that they must look for success. -- We were so thoroughly convinced that this was all that was wanting to ensure a complete triumph, that previous to the election we ventured to predict, that if they would but come forth in the majesty of their strength, they could easily overthrow their political opponents whose tenets were so destructive to the principles that ought steadfastly to be supported by Americans, who have the good of their country at heart." The Watch-Tower (Cooperstown, NY). May 18, 1814.
