Jonathan Steele, Esq. Of Durham.

Robert Alcock, Esq. Of Deering

Hon. Timothy Walker, Esq. Of Concord.

Gen. George Aldrich Of Westmoreland

William Tarlton, Esq. Of Piermont.

These are firm Republicans who feel no hostility against any of the sister States, who are firmly attached to the Constitution and to the federal union, and are incapable of wantonly deceiving you, for the momentary purpose of carrying an Election.

The candidates, most likely to gain their suffrages, are THOMAS JEFFERSON, as President, GEORGE CLINTON, as Vice-President:

The distinguished rank, which these men have held in public life, through the whole of our Revolution to the present day, has made their characters well known to you. Both of them have repeatedly passed the ordeal of public opinion: both have been tried in the seven times heated furnace of the enemies of Liberty, and they have come out untouched. Both are mature in years and experience, yet neither has arrived at a period, in which his capacity of service in political life has abated. —Among all the mere men on earth you have never known one, who has been so cruelly slandered and so obstinately opposed as has been Mr. Jefferson—yet he has calmly discharged the arduous duties of his office with a sacred regard to the rights and interests of the extended people, over whom he has presided. The character, which he has maintained through life, testifies his respect for morality; he has uniformly and abundantly contributed to the support of religion, and has always treated with reverence the name and character of that being, to whom all human potentates owe unlimited adoration.

Under his administration, none of the evils, predicted by his enemies have arrived: but all the blessings, which civil society can yield, have been enjoyed. Without your aid he would be re-elected by a great majority of votes; but you owe it to yourselves and to the republican cause, to be punctual in your attendance to give your votes for seven Electors. If you have lost a representation in Congress, yet strive to be represented in the persons of your President and Vice-President. New falsehoods will be improved to circumvent you, and attempts will be made to cause you to stumble even at the eve of your Election—If you follow the idle tales of disappointed federalism, you will assuredly tumble on the dark mountains.
