ness of canvassing on Tuesday next. We have hopes that
the canvassers will not, at least that all of them will not,
take so desperate a step as to reject the votes and declare
Clinton Governor against the known and acknowledged
voice of the people. My hopes, however, are not very
strong, considering the situation of that infamous party.
Jacob Morris is attending the canvassers as "a special deputy
from the county, and claims of them, as matter of right,
that the votes be canvassed. I am persuaded if the votes
be rejected the business will become very serious in the
State at large. Clinton is now about 500 ahead of you;
with the Montgomery, Ontario, and Otsego votes we are
confident of success. This is admitted by Clinton's adherents.
I am in the utmost haste and anxiety; our friend Jones
is well prepared and reserves himself till the last meeting.
He is as firm as a rock. Your friends have done every
thing that was right and consistent with their own characters, and regard to yours.
God bless you,
Robert Troup.

of receiving your kind letters of the last of May and first of
June, since which I hope you have received two packets
from me, sent to Judge Marchant's care by Captain Peterson and Captain Cahoon. I intended to send this by tomorrow's post, but I have just heard that Captain Peterson
is again to sail out Tuesday, so that I think it best to postpone it till then, as I can then send you the papers and
give you decisive accounts relative to the election. At
