Notes:
[1]Elected.
[2]"Fears were entertained of the event of the late March meeting in the patriotic town of Gloucester; as it was known that 130 of her Federal seafaring brethren were on their voyages. But we are happy to dispel those fears." Columbian Centinel. Massachusetts Federalist (Boston, MA). March 7, 1810.
[3]"Gloucester had its town meeting on Monday last. As more than 130 Federalists were abroad, and as the influence of great wealth, with the President of the Bank at the head, was in excercise to call forth the Demon of Democracy, and place him once more over the affairs of that town, some alarm was excited for the result; but it proved once more a glorious Triumph for Federalism . . . Let it be remembered that the town of Gloucester was going on in the broad road of democracy and destruction, till, in the year 1808, perceiving the dreadful gulf yawning before them, with horror they started back, and turned from the error of their ways; and like since converts they still persevere in support, of truth and federalism. May we, and other wandering towns, do likewise." Salem Gazette (Salem, MA). March 9, 1810.
