Notes:
[1]Elected.
[2]"We cannot but congratulate the sound republicans of this district that the Democratic Party is proved, by the election of yesterday, when the general election throughout the state took place, to be undiminished in strength, and unbroken by faction. In the city, with all the disorganizing efforts of apostacy, the party has polled nearly two thousand votes: while William J. Duane, the favorite and flatterer of faction, has collected together the miserable cohort of ninety-three deluded followers." Franklin Gazette (Philadelphia, PA). October 9, 1822.
[3]The Democratic Press (Philadelphia, PA), the Franklin Gazette (Philadelphia, PA), the National Gazette, the National Intelligencer and the Washington Republican do not list Adam Seybert among the candidates.
