13th CONGRESS- in General

SENATE: 26 Republicans, 10 Federalists

13th CONGRESS- United States SENATE

James A. Bayard, a Federalist, had resigned from the Class 2 seat (term ending 3 March 1817) from DELAWARE on 3 March 1813, at the end of the preceding Congress. William H. Wells, also a Federalist, was elected to complete the term by the General Assembly of the State on 28 May 1813, before the end of the odd-numbered year in which the 13th Congress took office [this being 1813]. Senator Wells, therefore, is counted among the 10 Federalists elected to the Senate of the 13th Congress, notwithstanding the existence of a vacancy at the start of that Congress [4 March 1813].

Robert H. Goldsborough, a Federalist, was elected by the General Assembly of the State of MARYLAND to the Class 3 seat (term: 4 March 1813 to 3 March 1819) from that State on 21 May 1813, before the end of the odd-numbered year in which the 13th Congress took office [this being 1813]. Senator Goldsborough, therefore, is counted among the 10 Federalists elected to the Senate of the 13th Congress, notwithstanding the existence of a vacancy at the start of that Congress [4 March 1813] due to a failure of the legislature to elect.

Jeremiah Mason, a Federalist, was elected by the General Court of the State of NEW HAMPSHIRE to the Class 3 seat (term: 4 March 1813 to 3 March 1819) from that State on 10 June 1813, before the end of the odd-numbered year in which the 13th Congress took office [this being 1813]. Senator Mason, therefore, is counted among the 10 Federalists elected to the Senate of the 13th Congress, notwithstanding the existence of a vacancy at the start of that Congress [4 March 1813] due to a failure of the legislature to elect.
