TABLE OF SENATORS OF THE UNITED STATES FROM THE FIRST CONGRESS TO THE CLOSE OF THE FIRST SESSION FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS.

Under Article I, section 3, clause 2, of the Constitution of the United States, relating to the classification of Senators in the first and succeeding Congresses, it was provided that, "Immediately after they shall be assembled in consequence of the first election, they shall be divided as equally as may be into three classes. The seats of the Senators of the first class shall be vacated at the expiration of the second year, of the second class at the expiration of the fourth year, and of the third class at the expiration of the sixth year, so that one-third may be chosen every second year." The classification of the Senators of the first Congress was made in accordance with this provision by lot. The following table shows the classes to which the Senators of the first Congress, and from States subsequently admitted into the Union, were severally assigned, and the succession in each State to the close of the first session of the Forty-ninth Congress.
