In Essex North District, Hon. John Varnum is elected by a majority of 10 votes.
In Norfolk, Hon. John Bailey, and, in Bristol, Hon. Francis Baylies are re-elected by majorities of above 300 each.
From Hampden and Franklin, we have received but few returns, but it is probable the present Representatives are re-elected.
The following are all the additional returns we have received from this District. It is now ascertained that there is no choice, but that the votes given to B. Taft, Jr. Esq. would probably have been more than sufficient to elect Maj. Davis.
November. January.
