The republican
ticket prevailed. It was composed of the following, persons:--
Isaac Ledyard, of Queen's County.
Anthony Lispenard, of New-York.
P. Van Courtlandt, of Westchester
James Burt, of Orange.
Gilbert Livingston, of Dutchess.

[continued list of Republican electors]
Peter Van Ness, of Columbia.
Robert Ellis, of Saratoga.
John Woodworth, of Rensellaer.
J. Van Rensellaer, of Albany.
Jacob Eacker, of Montgomery, and
William Floyd, of Suffolk.
The vote stood:--
Republican. Federal.
In the Senate 18 24 In the Assembly 64 39
Thus, on joint ballot, the republican majority was nineteen; and
consequently, as the city of New-York elected _twelve_ members, if the
federalists had succeeded in the city, they would have had, in joint
ballott, a majority of from six to ten.
As a part of the history of this election, the following letter and
extracts from letters are here inserted.
THOMAS JEFFERSON TO AARON BURR.
Washington, December 15, 1800.
"DEAR SIR,
Although we have not official information of the votes for president
and vice-president, and cannot have until the first week in February,
yet the state of the votes is given on such evidence as satisfies both
parties that the two republican candidates stand highest.
