II. GOVERNORS OF THE SEVERAL STATES AND TERRITORIES, with the Manner of their Election and the Commencement and Expiration of their respective Terms of Office. With respect to those Governors who have been elected more than once, the commencement of the term for which they were last elected, is here given. In all the states except New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, the Governor is voted for by the people; and if no one has a majority of all the votes, in the states in which such a majority is required, the legislature elects to the office of Governor one of the candidates voted for by the people. In the state of Louisiana, the people give their votes, and the legislature elects one of the two candidates who have the greatest number of votes. The Governors of the Territories are appointed by the President of the United States, with the consent of the Senate, for the term of three years. *Robert P. Dunlap has been chosen by the people Governor of Maine for the year beginning in January, 1834. III.

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 Vice-President in the different states, are authorized by the Constitutution, 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. The table exhibits the mode practised at the last presidential election. IV. THEOLOGICAL SEMINARIES. Name. Bangor Theol. Sem. Cong. Bangor, Me. Theol.
