[4]"A small plaster for a great sore -- I'll be hanged if Mr. Jefferson was'nt [sic] right when he called 'great cities great sores.' Yesterday we had the pleasure to give one specimen of the superior healthiness of the country in the triumph of Federalism in Kings, and we now add another in Queens. The following is a copy of the sum total of returns there made last evening...Thus for the first time in twenty years the federal ticket has succeeded in Queens. Last year the democrats went in by a majority of 400 ; this has been overcome, and 98 added on the other side. We fear not to predict a similar evidence of returning good sense in most of our country towns. They are cursed with no Irish mobs ; no throngs of office-holders ; no fawning sycophants about a Manhattan Bank." New-York Herald (New York, NY). May 4, 1808.
