[20]"Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in New-Haven to his friend in Hartford. 'The result of the election on Monday last, is highly honorable to the Freemen of Connecticut . . . As to the Congressional Nomination it will be a pretty show. - The democratic ticket had one vote for each in several towns, and in many others, it was not named at all. In some towns, such as Chesire, where it was supported by its own members, it was largely voted for." Connecticut Courant (Hartford, CT). April 20, 1808.
