Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]"John Smilie's majority in the district composed of Green[e] and Fayette will probably not exceed 300. His last election gave him nearly 2000 of a majority over the same opponent, who is this year ahead of Smilie 90 odd in Connellsville district, where the latter had formerly a considerable majority. Smilie has now the mortification to see his poll reduced more than one half from what it was previous to his vote for ruinous and unnecessary War. [The Spectator]."
