Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of Political Parties in the State of New-York, Vol. 2 of 2: From the Ratification of the Federal Constitution to December, 1840
When the delegates assembled they were called to order by Gen. Root, who, in a brief but very appropriate speech, pointed out the objects of the assemblage; It would seem that one hundred and ten delegates were present; for Daniel D. Tompkins received ninety-four votes for the office of president, and there were sixteen scattering votes.
John F. Bacon and Samuel L. Gardner were appointed clerks of the convention, and Wm. L. Stone, Nathaniel H. Carter, M. T. C. Gould, Levi H. Clarke and Moses I Cantine, were admitted within the bar as stenographers.
