[6]"The August elections seemed to indicate that a profound revolution had taken place in public opinion during the summer. The state that had given Langdon an overwhelming majority of 9,383 votes in March now elected the Federalist ticket of congressmen by an average majority of 1,300. This has been interpreted as a change in public opinion caused by the embargo. It was less a Republican defeat, however, than a Federalist recovery. The chief result of the antiembargo propoganda had been to arouse and consolidate the normally Federalist voters, who had been somnolent and scattered since 1805. The total vote drawn out by the first vigorous campaign in three years was nearly three times greater than the vote in the previous congressional election and, for the first time in New Hampshire history, far exceeded the vote in the previous gubernatorial contest. Both parties had made tremendous exertions to create this increase, but while the Republicans more than doubled their vote over that which had been sufficient for victory in 1806, they accounted for only 37 percent of the total gain. Nearly two-thirds of the newly aroused voters were Federalists, responding to the clarion call of their old party slogans." The Ninth State. 241.
