[23]The New-York Spectator (New York, NY), Commercial Advertiser (New York, NY), and New-York Evening Post (New York, NY) refer to the Federalist slate as the Peace Ticket and the Republican slate as the War Ticket.

[24]The New-York Statesman (Albany, NY) refers to the Republican slate as the Martling Ticket.

[25]"We have now the pleasure to present to our readers complete and correct returns of the votes given in this city for Governor, Lieut. Governor, Senator and Members of the Assembly. It will be seen that the average peace majority for Members of Assembly is 141. When we consider the remissness of many of the federal electors in some of the wards, and the efforts made and means adopted by the war party to carry in their ticket, we are not a little surprised and gratified to find that we have so large a majority. Perhaps there never was, at any former election, so much and such various deception practised, as there has been on this occasion by the advocates of war. One of their modes of deceiving the electors, we shall now mention, that the Federal Party may hereafter guard against the evil. -- At the Seventh Ward, a man, whose name ought to be exposed, who pretended to be a strong advocate of the Peace Ticket, who frequently visited the Federal Committee Room, and who in that room distributed many Tickets to Electors, which without examination, were immediately given in at the poll, was at length detected in dealing out WAR instead of PEACE Tickets. Were it not for this base and pitiful conduct, the Seventh Ward would unquestionably have given a Peace majority. In some of the other trick we are told was practiced to a considerable extent. Notwithstanding this, the Federal Ticket has prevailed by a handsome majority; and we congratulate the friends of Liberty, Peace and Commerce, on the honorably and propitious result." New-York Spectator (New York, NY). May 1, 1813.

[26]"The election in this city and county, terminated on Thursday in favor of the federal assembly ticket, which has succeeded by the small majority of one hundred and thirty. The following is the correct official returns, from which it appears that the federal strength in this city, has decreased upwards of four hundred votes, since the last spring election." The New-York Statesman (Albany, NY). May 1, 1813.

[27]"City Election -- We are now able to gratify the public curiosity with a compleat return of this city for Governor, Lieut. Governor, Senator and Members of Assembly. The result is auspicious to the cause of Peace, Liberty and Commerce. When we consider the immense patronage of the general government and the state government which has been brought to bear upon this city on occasion, and when we take into the account, that besides open and know opponents, whom we could see and resist, we have had to contend with secret and unknown enemies wearing the guise of friends; -- 'a fawning treachery against which no prudence can guard, no courage defend' -- surely our success may justlly be regarded as a great victory." New-York Evening Post (New York, NY). May 1, 1813.

[28]"'The patronge of the general government' has given the federalists the assembly ticket in New-York. In assigning this patronage as the cause of the diminution of the federal majority, there is a mistake. It has sent two or three hundred ship-carpenters, boat-builders, riggers, andc to Sacket's-Harbor and Black Rock, sufficient to have carried in the republican ticket. It has induced, if this sacrifice to patriotism can be called patronage, several hundred republican electors to enlist in the volunteer corps for the defence of the city and harbor, and thus given the federalists the election. And a considerable loss has been sustained by the republicans in privateers, probably enough to have turned the election--though we don't mean to say that in this there is any governmental patronage, as the fact happens to be rather the reverse. At any rate the federalists have not suffered in the election by any of this patronage, while the republicans have lost hundreds of votes by it." The Columbian (New York, NY). May 3, 1813.
