ALBANY, Nov. 3.

The ninth of December. the biennial Election for choosing Representatives in Congress, will be held throughout this state. We are entitled to ten members; our election districts are, the city and county of New-York, the city and county of Albany, Long Island, Richmond and Westchester, Dutchess, Orange and Ulster, Columbia, Rensselaer and Clinton, Saratoga and Washington, Montgomery, Otsego, Herkimer, Tioga and Ontario. This last district is computed to contain eighty thousand inhabitants, and will remain unrepresented the present Congress; their member (Colonel Talbott) having accepted an appointment in the American navy. Why writs for a new election were not issued, we know not: but that there is a fault somewhere is most apparent, and demands of Congress immediate attention; for, notwithstanding the constitution and election law are pointed and explicit on this head, that the Executive SHALL issue writs for a new election in case of vacancy; this district, which comprehends a very extensive proportion of our western frontier, the number of whose inhabitants entitles it nearly to three members, and whose patriotism is not exceeded by any other part of the Union, is, at this important crisis, without a voice in the National Councils !
