[6]"As far as our information extends, the following counties have returned full federal representations to the Legislature, viz. Bergen, Middlesex, Somerset, Burlington, Gloucester and Cape-May. The representation from Sussex and Cumberland will be divided." Trenton Federalist (Trenton, NJ). October 27, 1806.
[7]"Reports state that the republican Ticket has succeeded in Hunterdon; and the federal in Gloucester, with the addition of two members in Cumberland. If these reports are correct, the strength of both parties will be nearly balanced in joint-meeting." The Centinel of Freedom (Newark, NJ). October 21, 1806.
