STATE SENATORS.

The Counties of Cayuga and Wayne now form the Twenty-fifth Senatorial District, and Senators are elected for two years.

Under the first Constitution, Cayuga was in what was called the "Western District," embracing a territory which now contains over twenty counties. Under this Constitution the territory of Cayuga County supplied but four Senators, namely: John Richardson, Aurelius, 1797 ; Seth Phelps, Scipio, 1798 ; Joseph Annin, Aurelius, 1803 ; and Lyman Paine, Auburn, 1820.
