[6]The Guardian, or New Brunswick Advertiser and The Centinel of Freedom (Newark, NJ) use the spelling Helmes for William Helms.
[7]The Centinel of Freedom (Newark, NJ), December 30, The Genius of Liberty (Morristown, NJ), January 1, Original Election Returns for Gloucester County, and The Albany Register (Albany, NY) use the name D'Vroom for Peter D. Vroom.
[8]The Aurora. General Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA) uses the name De Vroom for Peter D. Vroom.
[9]The Aurora. General Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA) uses the spelling Cox for William Coxe.
[10]The Original Election Returns for Hunterdon County uses the name Condict for John Condit.
[11]The Federalist candidates are referred to as the Monarchical Ticket in the General Advertiser and the Aristocratic Ticket in The Albany Register (Albany, NY).
[12]The Republican candidates are referred to as the Anti-Federal ticket in Gazette of the United States, and Daily Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA), December 31.
[13]The Federalist and New-Jersey State Gazette (Trenton, NJ) reports 14,726 votes for James Mott but the township totals add up to 14,728.
[14]The Centinel of Freedom (Newark, NJ) reports 14,609 votes for William Helms.
[15]National Intelligencer and Washington Advertiser (Washington, DC), January 12, 1801, reports 14,602 votes for William Helmsbut the township totals add up 14,532.
[16]National Intelligencer and Washington Advertiser (Washington, DC), January 12, 1801, reports 14,547 votes for Henry Southardbut the township totals add up 14,545.
[17]National Intelligencer and Washington Advertiser (Washington, DC), January 12, 1801, reports 14,177 votes for Aaron Ogdenbut the township totals add up 14,175.
[18]"By the above return our readers will perceive, that Messrs. Mott, Elmer, Condit, Helmes and Southard, composing the Democratic Ticket, are elected members of Congress by a majority of about 500 votes. It will be recollected, that in our last we stated, from the information we had received, that the Federal Ticket would probably succeed by a majority of between 1000 and 1500 votes. This calculation was founded upon the ordinary results of elections in this state, and was fully justified by that for members of the Legislature held in October last--but, it has failed!----The number of votes given in the counties of Essex and Morris, has not only exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the friends of the Democratic Ticket, but out-strips all calculations founded on precedent or reason, and justly excites a wonder, when the population of those counties is compared with that of the large counties of Burlington and Hunterdon. This wonder, however, will cease when we state, and from the most respectable authority, that in Morris and Essex, not only girls of the age of eighteen, but even married women were actually admitted to vote. In Sussex, also, we are credibly informed that the same illegal practices took place. Such being the state of things the election will probably be disputed at the next Congress. We cannot here forbear to state, that the Federalists have been shamefully negligent of their duty. They had votes enough in the state, good and legal votes, to overbalance all those of their opponenets, legal and illegal. [Trenton Pap.]" Guardian; or, New-Brunswick Advertiser (New Brunswick, NJ). January 1, 1801.
[19]The Centinel of Freedom (Newark, NJ), December 30: "On Tuesday and Wednesday last, the election for choosing Members to represent this State in the Seventh Congress of the United States in the Seventh Congress of the Unites States, came on agreeable to a law passed at the last sitting of the Legislature of this State. It is with pleasure that we mention that notwithstanding the exertions that were made by the two opposite parties, that there was less discord, and a greater degree of harmony prevailed, than is common at contested elections. We mentioned in the Centinel of Nov. the 11th, that the Republican Spirit, which so universally prevailed among the Citizens of Essex, Morris and Sussex, when joined with their Republican friends of the other Counties of this State, if they did but exert themselvles, and turn out at the approaching election, we had nothing to fear from the power of the aristocratic faction. We are strengthened in that opinion by the following OFFICIAL returns from Essex, Morris, Bergen, and four townships of Sussex :-- ... The above majority exceeds the most sanguine expectations of the Republicans, and constitutes so large a number, as, in all probability, to ensure success." The Centinel of Freedom (Newark, NJ). December 30, 1800.
[20]"The above statements prove that Messrs. Condict, Helmes, Southard, Mott and Elmer, are regularly chosen to represent this state in the next Congress of the United States. The exertions of the republicans in this important contest reflects the greatest credit on them, for their firmness and persevering industry, by which means they have completely defeated their opponents, and greatly retrieved the character of the state. With such men in our national councils, and Jefferson and Burr at the helm of state, we can justly anticipate the day as not being far off, when we may emphatically exclaim 'Hail Columbia, happy Land.'"
