[10]"Sutherland had two strings to his bow; he was a candidate for both Congress and Assembly: his majority for the latter was 28 votes; for the former, Mr. Wurts outpolled him 94 votes. If had been elected to both offices, being a 'man of principle in proportion to his interest,' there can be no doubt which he would have accepted. S. The latest The Philadelphia Gazette and Universal Daily Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA) and Daily Advertiser (Philadelphia, PA) informs us, that Mr. Sutherland is already making interest to have himself elected U.S. Senator!"
