Sir, At a time when our country is threatened with eminent danger from abroad; when foreign influence and party spirit is exciting opposition to the laws in a neighboring state. We, the corresponding committee of the different wards of the city of Schenectady, think it our duty to address you on the subject of the approaching election, and to solicit your suffrage and influence for the re-election of Joseph Shurtleff, Esq. who represented this city in the Assembly last session. ... The ticket which will be supported by us, is the same as recommended by the general committee of Albany, viz, for senators. Moses Vail, of Rensselaer. ...

Notes: Campaign circular with the Federal Party ticket of senators and assemblymen for Albany, Schenectady, and vicinity in the state election of 1799. "As for Mr. Van Rensselaer, the young man, whom the Anti-Federal party of this place have bro't forward, in opposition to Mr. Shurtleff, we know no claim he has to the important office of a legislator, but what might arise from his name and connections."
