TABLE exhibiting the Governor's Term and Salary, the Number of Senators and Representatives with their respective Terms and Pay, and the Mode of choosing Electors of President and Vice-President, in the several States. * There is no Senate in the Legislature of Vermont; but the Executive Council, consisting of the Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, and 12 Counsellors, elected by the freemen, are empowered to lay before the General Assembly such business as shall appear to them necessary; also to revise and propose amendments to the laws passed by the House of Represen. tatives. †The number of Representatives in the Legislature of Massachusetts in 1832, was 479; but the number is very variable. The pay of the Senators, in the Legislature of Connecticut, is $2 a day; that of the Representatives, $1.50. || The Upper House, which forms an independent branch of the Legislature of New Jersey, is styled the "Legislative Council." § Three different modes of choosing the electors of President and VicePresident in the different states, are authorized by the Constitution, viz. by the people by districts, by the people by a general ticket, and by the state legislatures. The same states have not all uniformly adhered to the same mode; and the mode may be varied at the pleasure of the state legislatures.

See Am. Almanac for 1832, page 298. The preceding statistical table of Europe is taken from the "Abrégé de Géog aphie" of M. Adrien Balbi, a distinguished statistical and geographical writer; and it is the result of long and laborious researches. The "Abrégé de Géographie " has been very recently (1832) published at Paris; but the statistical statements refer generally to the year 1826, and many of them will be found to differ in some degree from those given in the subsequent articles relating to the respective countries. It will be observed that the extent of the countries is given in the table in geographical square miles, of 60 to a degree; and in the following pages in statute square miles of 691⁄2 to a degree. The franc is a French coin of the value of about 18 cents. The Army or Contingent here given, is the number in time of peace. TABLE OF THE NAVAL FORCE OF EUROPE.
