The chapter investigates two major newspapers in New York in the immediate run-up to the elections to the legislature of the State of New York in the spring of 1800. One of the newspapers supported Federalists, and the other one Republicans. An investigation of this type of motivated by the crucial role that New York played in the presidential elections of 1800. Fallacy theory is again used as an analytical resource. In addition, it is also argued that the notion of a narrative is useful in shedding light on the way that arguments were structured and on differences between the two newspapers in this respect. The concept of a narrative was understood as an interpretation of a complex event, a series of events, or a situation that had evolved over time, with attention paid to the roles and motivations of those involved. The study shows how political narratives can often be slanted in favor of one party and against the interests of the other party. Illustrations of such slanting are given, and the modern term “spin” is also argued to be helpful in the analysis of aspects of political English in early history of American politics.
