Thirteenth Congress cFkhe United States.
We have alreadv stated that in the more
permanent branch of he Legislature. there
is decided Republican majority, which
has been increased rather than reduced by
the electors of the past year
In the House OF Representatives also, the
popular branch os the Leg stature, there is
and will be CHOSEN fHr thc ensuing Congress-
a large majority Of Republicans as will
more clearly be seen by the following brief
statement of the results and prospects in
each state in the Union.

federalists, and two at least are known to
be Republican.

In this state the Election took place last

DISTRICTS for the choice OF Representatives
to Congress. from each Of which two Menu

success in two of those districts /; but as
