Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]"In this county as we mentioned last week, the only contest was between the friends and the opposers of a tax on Bank-Stock. The friends to the tax run a full ticket; with Charles Clark, who last year in the House voted for the tax, at its head as Candidate for Council. The opposers of the tax run but a partial Ticket consisting of the Members of Council and two Members of Assembly who last year voted against the tax...The influence of this question extended even to the election of a Sheriff; and Thomas Crane, who avowed himself friendly to a tax on Bank-Stock, received 1489 votes; while Nathan Squier, who had some years ago been Sheriff, and discharged its duties with fidelity and approbation, but who last year voted against taxing Banks, had but 555."
