[3]"While the vexations of the spring and summer may have betrayed the Federalists into excesses, their political fortunes did not seem to wane. The opportune death of Nicholas Gilman, who had been more a dissident Republican than a genuine Federalist, permitted them to place one of their stalwarts, Thomas W. Thompson, in the United States Senate, where he teamed with Jeremiah Mason to oppose the administration." The Ninth State. 292.
