who held their seats for four years.
They are elected in classes, eight being
chosen every year. Last year, there
was but ohe federalist in the senate.
OF the eight chosen this spring five
(from the Eastern and Western Dist.

Middle and Southern are democratic.
Majorities not yet ascertained but
there is a clear majority of federal SEN
atorial votes in the state.

OF the Governor, and one Senator from
each Of the four great districts, chosen
by The house.
"The democrats, it is said, amidst all
their ill fortune, console ,hems Ives

not be chosen, there being only two
