The Vermont General Assembly met in Montpelier on October 11.[1] The Vermont House of Representatives appointed a committee to review the votes of the freemen of Vermont for governor, lieutenant governor, treasurer, and members of the governor's council.[1] The committee determined that Ezra Butler had won election to a second one-year term.[1]
In the election for lieutenant governor, the committee determined that Democratic-Republican Henry Olin had won election to a one-year term.[1] Newspapers of the time reported the vote totals as: Olin, 9,411 (67.5%); Samuel C. Crafts, 2,667 (19.1%); Israel P. Dana, 1,865 (13.4%).[2]
Benjamin Swan won election to a one-year term as treasurer, his twenty-eighth.[1] Though he had nominally been a Federalist, Swan was usually endorsed by the Democratic-Republicans and even after the demise of the Federalist Party he was frequently unopposed.[3] According to a contemporary news account, Swan was chosen nearly unanimously, with no major opposition and only 17 votes scattering.[2]
The vote totals in the governor's race were reported as follows:[1]
| Party | Candidate | Votes | % | ±% | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Democratic-Republican | Ezra Butler (incumbent) | 13,699 | 87.5% | ||
| Democratic-Republican | Joel Doolittle | 1,951 | 12.5% | ||
