Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]"From a Correspondent, 'Plattsburgh, 5th May 1813. I send you a statement of votes taken in Clinton and Franklin. You may publish it without the fear of being ultimately detected in an error. 'Before I proceed, however, to give you this statement I would remark, that the result of the election in these two counties is more favorable than we had expected. There had been a small gain in favor of the peace ticket, which was altogether unlooked for. We knew there would be a very great reduction of votes in all the frontier towns, owing to the removal of many of the inhabitants out of the counties ; and as these towns were all federal by large majorities, we were convinced that the effect of this reduction must necessarily have an unfavorable bearing upon our cause -- All therefore we calculated upon was to hold our own. We have however, done something more -- ... Mr. Moore the peace candidate for the Assembly is re-elected by about 120 majority -- '" New-York Evening Post (New York, NY). May 12, 1813.
[3]"In three towns in the County of Franklin, the federal candidate for Assembly has a majority of 144." Republican (Plattsburgh, NY). May 7, 1813.
