[15]"ELECTION OF CENSORS. We congratulate the friends of liberty on the union of the republicans of Bennington. No exertion was made on their part to influence an elector:--and it is true, that information is so generally disseminated, the voice of the people of Vermont is always correct, when unbiased by local prejudices; and uncorrupted by the fascinating wiles of their enemies. Federalism and Quidism dwindle strangely in this time of Republican apathy and heedlessness. We are unpardonably negligent in most of our elections; but in this case there appears to have been a firm union of republicans in favor of a list of thirteen of the most conspicuous and decided enemies of Governor Tichenor." Vermont Gazette, an Epitome of the World (Bennington, VT). March 31, 1806.

[16]"16 other persons were voted for; the highest of whom had 19 votes, the lowest 2." The Weekly Wanderer (Randolph, VT). March 31, 1806.
