THE FIRST EASTERN DISTRICT.

Several trials have been made to elect a representative to Congress, without success—The Hon. Mr. Cook, has declined being a candidate. A correspondent has forwarded us the following nomination. It is also understood that Hon. Nathaniel Dummer, will be again put up on the federal list;—but it is hoped these gentlemen will not so far divide the exertions of the electors as to give an opening for the jacobin candidate.
