ct of Mr. Young's treatment to them, who
informed this deponent the same as Mr. Cowles had done, and
related several circumstances confirming the same.--JOHN
DUNNING. Subscribed and sworn before me, Philo T. Beebe, one
of the Justices of the Peace in Malta, County of Saratoga,
the 4th day of May 1815_. PHILO T. BEEBE, _Justice of the
Peace_.

"Amos Allcott being sworn saith, that Messrs. Ketchum,
Gardner and Cowles, three of the Delegates from the county of
Saratoga, some time in March last, when at Albany, told this
Deponent, that they had been ill-treated, or not well treated
by Samuel Young Esq. their colleague--and expressed their
opinion and wishes fully, that some other person than he,
should the next session represent this county in Assembly.
Mr. Ketchum in presence of the other two, said he had made up
his mind fully in favor of George Palmer, Esq. or Esek Cowen
Esq. being the man, to which the other two appeared to
assent.--Mr. Gardner however remarked, that _some said_ Mr.
Young might be sufficiently, mortified by not being appointed
Secretary of State.--AMOS ALLCOTT. _Sworn the 5th day of May,
in the Year 1815, before me SAMUEL COOK Master in Chancery_."

"Lewis B. Edwards being sworn saith, That a few days after
Mr. Bunce and Palmer returned from Albany--Mr. Gardner Member
of Assembly, called at the office of the _Saratoga Journal_,
on his way home to see his family, and told Mr. Bunce among
other things, that Mr. Young had lost the Office of Secretary
of State, and that Mr. Porter was appointed. And further
remarked, 'it may be best to suspend the thing we talked of,
his loosing that may humble him enough, pride will have a
all'--or words to that import.

"And this Deponent further saith, That about a fortnight
after this, Mr. Cowles one of the other Members of Assembly,
called at the Office on his return from Hadley to the
Legislature, and on Mr. Bunce, asking him whether Mr. Young
had treated them any better since his disappointment, he
replied he had not--and that Mr. Young had never yet even
asked them to walk to the House with him or words to that
effect. On the said Bunces enquiry whether he had mentioned
the subject to any of his friends while at home--he replied
that he intended to have done so to Esq.
