[10]"CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION. On the 7th and 8th instants an election took place in this state, for members of Congress and Electors of President and vice President. In the county (Cumberland) which can poll between two and three thousand, only about one hundred and ninety votes were taken. The Electoral ticket, in favor of James Monroe and Daniel D. Tompkins, met with no opposition." The Washington Whig (Bridgeton, NJ). November 13, 1820.
[11]"Very little interest was taken here or elsewhere. Probably not more than one-fourth of the qualified persons voted: in this town the number was much less; there being only 27 given in - in the county 152." Salem Messenger (Salem, NJ). November 15, 1820.
