THE ELECTION.
Yesterday the election of members for the Tenth Congress was made in this state. Samuel Putnam, esq. was the federal, and the hon. Jacob Crowninshield the democratick candidate for Essex South District: and the votes, as far as we have accounts, were as follows:
Mr. Crowninshield's majority in this town, at his last election, was 148; now 66. Notwithstanding this decline in his popularity here, we doubt not he is re-elected.
The hon. Josiah Quincy, of Suffolk district, had a majority of 767 in Boston, and is chosen.
