the promises From Herkimer westward, we have
the Senator AM, all four Members in Oneida, the same
il Onondaga Senator and five Members IN Cayuga
ard WAYNE, Senator and four Members from Iomp
kins Seneca and Yates and Jefferson has c1Ose'
two Maine Law Members out OF three, and gwen
n aiority for Maine Law Senator. These are but
.pecimens of the general result Not less than half
dozen Members have been elected distinctive Maine
Law tickets over the candidates Of the two leading

vessel after the capture her British antagonist insisted
that if tie enemy did not consider themselves fairly
