Richmond Enquirer

CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATION.

We have often wished, in reading the returns from our Sister States, to have in one view the entire representations of each State in the Congress of the United States, embracing those who have been elected, those who are changed, and the change in point of politics Complexion.

—We now do unto others as we wish they would; such returns as enable us to complete the list of representatives who have been elected this spring to Congress, we subjoin this list under the points of view which we have stated.

Sum Total.—Thus it appears, there are ten NEW Representatives—Of these, Mr. Pindall, (Fed.) succeeds to a Republican —and Messrs. Austin, Floyd, and Smyth, (Republicans,) succeed to federalists or oppositionists in some shape—This, too, throwing out the change in the Northern Neck—so that the republicans gain at least two representatives in the next Congress—And counting what they gain, and what the opposition loses, the nett republican gain is 4 votes.
