[6]"The Federalists, who can never submit to defeat with a good grace, talk of oversetting the Monmouth election, on the pretence that in the township of Middletown the election was removed the second day to a place not authorized by law.--We are acquainted with the circumstances of this transaction, and believe there is no foundation for fearing that their threats will be put in execution.--If there should be an attempt made by the Federalists to overturn Middletown election, let them look well to Trenton."
