Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]"The annual election for members of Council and General Assembly of this State is over; and with pride we say, the cause of truth, of virtue, and of freedom has triumphed with more than ordinary success. Generally speaking, the federal opposition this year has been extremely feeble. In counties where their strength has been tried, and where even their candidates have been sucessful, the results by no means dishonorable to republicanism; it annually acquires strength, and shortly it must and will predominate. In Middlesex, the republican exertions were truly laudable; their candidates were nearly successful; and to the inclemency of the weather alone perhaps we might with propriety attribute their defeat."
