Background Thirteen Representatives (8 Democratic-Republicans and 7 Federalists) had been elected in the previous election Congressional districts Pennsylvania was divided into 12 districts, one of which (the PA 4 4th) was a plural district, with 2 Representatives. This was the last election which used these districts. The PA 1 1st district consisted of the City of Philadelphia The PA 2 2nd district consisted of Philadelphia County The PA 3 3rd district consisted of Chester and Delaware Counties The PA 4 4th district (2 seats) consisted of Montgomery, Bucks and Northampton Counties The PA 5 5th district consisted of Berks and Luzerne County The PA 6 6th district consisted of Northumberland and Dauphin Counties The PA 7 7th district consisted of Lancaster County The PA 8 8th district consisted of York County The PA 9 9th district consisted of Mifflin and Cumberland County The PA 10 10th district consisted of Bedford, Huntingdon and Franklin Counties The PA 11 11th district consisted of Westmoreland and Fayette Counties The PA 12 12th district consisted of Allegheny and Washington Counties The counties that made up the 5th district did not border each other. That district was therefore made up of two separate pieces rather than being a single contiguous entity Note: Many of these counties covered much larger areas than they do today, having since been divided into smaller counties Election results Nine incumbents (8 Democratic-Republicans and 1 Federalist) ran for re-election, all of whom won re-election. The incumbents Robert Waln (F) of the PA 1 1st district, Richard Thomas (F) of the PA 3 3rd district, John W. Kittera (F) of the PA 7 7th district and Thomas Hartley (F) of the PA 8 8th district did not run for re-election. Ten Democratic-Republicans and three Federalists were elected, a net gain of 2 seats for the Democratic-Republicans. +1800 United States House election results District Democratic-Republican Federalist PA 1 1st William Jones 1,698 50.2% Francis Gurney 1,684 48.8% PA 2 2nd Michael Leib (I) 2,744 77.8% John Lardner 783 22.2% PA 3 3rd Joseph Shallcroft 2,389 46.7% Joseph Hemphill 2,732 53.3% PA 4 4th2 seats Peter Muhlenberg (I) 6,683 34.4% Cadwallader C.
