[3]"The Election - It will be seen by the following statement, that Charles Borland, Jun. Esq. is elected to Congress, in the place of Selah Tuthill Esq. deceased, by a majority of 160 votes over John Duer, Esq. The Clintonian party had no candidate in nomination - some of them voted for one candidate, some for the other, and many staid at home - and perhaps not more than two thirds of the votes were taken thro'out the county."
