Having proceeded to the Court house, which the county commissioners had prepared for their reception, they balloted. The business of the day being over, they returned to Whitman's the federal inn, of the borough, and dined with a number of gentlemen who were of their suite. A few other gentlemen of the place supped with the Electors, and concluded the evening with great hilarity, circulating the glass in honor of the constitution--General Washington and Doctor Adams.--I believe there can be no doubt that the former will be the President and the latter Vice-President, which God of his infinite mercy grant.
