ELECTION.
Yesterday came on the election of Representatives. Much caucusing on both sides had preceded the election. On the one hand, an almost entire change in our representation was warmly advocated by many; while on the other hand many were in favor of the almost entire re-choice of the old list. The election however ended in a happy and harmonious manner; a kind of compromise of opinion left out some of the old representatives, and introduced several new and popular gentlemen. The following is a list of the gentlemen voted for, with the number of votes each had.
Jonathan Mason, Esq. 1915
Charles Jarvis, Esq. 1125
William Tudor, Esq. 1947
William Eustis, Esq. 1953
Thomas Edwards, Esq. 1051
William Little, Esq. 1054
Stephen Gorham, Esq. 960
Joseph Russell, jun. Esq. 885
Mr. Edward Tuckerman, 850
Harrison G. Otis, Esq. 879
Daniel Sargent, Esq. 954
The first six are chosen. There remains one yet to be elected. To-morrow the citizens will assemble to complete their list of representatives. It is hoped that unanimity will at least preside on this occasion. Samuel Norton, Esq. is elected representative from Hingham, vice Charles Cushing, Esq. The principal reason of Mr. Cushing's losing his election, is said to be his attempting to establish a political club at Hingham.
