On March 12, 1815, a few days after the legal start of the 14th Congress, but long before the first meeting of that Congress, David Bard (DR), who'd been re-elected to the Шаблон:Ushr, died. A special election was held on October 10 to fill the vacancy left by his death.

Election results

Candidate Party Votes[1] Percent

Шаблон:Party shading/Federalist | John Bratton Шаблон:Party shading/Federalist | Federalist 865 24.9%

The 9th district did not change parties with this election. On December 11, Burnside took his seat in the 14th Congress. He would subsequently resign, in April, 1816,[2] to accept a judicial position, resulting in a second special election. He thus served for only a few months as Representative.
