republicans should vote for Mr. Hamilton. Mr. Isaac Kellogg,
jun. was present at the same time.--JOSEPH OGDEN." "I, Isaac Kellogg, Jun. of Malta in the county of Saratoga, do certify, that I was present and heard a part of the conversation above stated by Joseph Ogden, and remember hearing Mr. Morehouse state, that he voted for Mr. Hamilton, and the abovementioned federalist say that he voted for Mr. Young. I also heard another federalist of Halfmoon then present, say that he voted for Mr. Young also; and I distinctly understood from them, that there had been an understanding between the federalists and Mr. Young's friends, to support Mr. Young and Mr. Hamilton as members of Assembly.--ISAAC KELLOGG, jun." It is also a fact, that Young's supporters did in two or three of the towns _hide_ and _suppress_ the tickets printed by direction of the county convention, for Mr. Cowen and the other candidates. These certificates and these facts serve then to explain how Mr. Young came by a greater number of _votes_ than Mr. Cowen;--and no doubt is left on this subject when on calculating from the _returns_, you perceive that the _votes_ for Mr. Young and Mr. Cowen in the aggregate exceed by a great number the whole votes for any other candidate on either side, and that _one_ of the federal candidates received a _less_ number of votes than the others. This would of itself shew as far as the subject is susceptible of proof, a _bargain_ between _some_ of Mr. Young's friends and _some_ of the federalists. Shortly after this bargain which Mr. Roe speaks of, the McBain Meeting[4] was called, where every exertion tended to produce a political abortion. |
