MATTHEW L. DAVIS TO GALLATIN.
Thursday night, 12 o’clock.
May 1, 1800.
REPUBLICANISM TRIUMPHANT.
Dear Sir,—It affords me the highest gratification to assure you of the complete success of the Republican Assembly ticket in this city. This day the election closed, and several of the wards have been canvassed for Congress; the result as follows:
| For Mitchill. | For Morton. | |||
| First | Ward, | majority, | — | 76 |
| Second | do., | do., | — | 258 |
| Third | do., | not canvassed. | ||
| Probable majority, | — | 250 | ||
| Fourth | do., | canvassed majority, | 72 | — |
| Fifth | do., | not canvassed. | ||
| Probable majority, | 100 | — | ||
| Sixth | do., | canvassed majority, | 432 | — |
| 604 | 584 | |||
| Seventh | do. | do. do. | ||
| For Van Cortlandt, 312. |
Thus, sir, it is probable Mr. Mitchill is elected a member of Congress, and no doubt can remain but our whole Assembly, ticket is elected by a majority of three hundred and fifty votes. To Colonel Burr we are indebted for everything. This day has he remained at the poll of the Seventh Ward ten hours without intermission. Pardon this hasty scrawl; I have not ate for fifteen hours.
With the highest respect, &c.
