As the term of my subscription has nearly expired, I hasten to remit the customary advance for another year, lest any delay should deprive me of the satisfaction I have enjoyed in the perusal of your patriotic, temperate, and dignified publications. You will doubtless perceive with pleasure, the result of the electoral election which was closed about midnight. I understand there will be a large majority for Madison & Gerry. It was the most animated election I ever saw and notwithstanding the immense crowd on the election ground, the day was disgraced by no tumult or riot. Americanism is here triumphant, while Britishism scarcely dares to make its appearance. When Congress meets, the friends of government will be most painfully disappointed if some measures are not adopted to check the presses devoted to the enemy. I am Sir very respectfully Your fellow Citizen W. Pelham 5 dollar bill enclosed.
