[5]"In this Election, the Republican Ticket has met with very little opposition ... For Assembly--Charles Clark, had 1710, W. S. Pennington, 1707, and Abraham Speer, 1709, the highest in opposition, had but 20 votes." The Genius of Liberty (Morristown, NJ). October 17, 1799.

[6]"We most sincerely congratulate our readers on the unanimity of sentiment that prevails among the Citizens of this County. The above statement proves that we are no longer a divided people--But that the time long wished for is come, that we are all of one mind, except (to use the words of Staff and Field Officers) a few deluded and degraded ; and if they will unite with us and support the constitution and laws of our country, we would not wish to have them seized and carried to the enemies' lines." The Centinel of Freedom (Newark, NJ). October 15, 1799.
