1832–33 United States House of Representatives elections

The 1832–33 United States House of Representatives elections were held on various dates in various states between July 2, 1832, and October 7, 1833. Each state set its own date for its elections to the House of Representatives before the first session of the 23rd United States Congress convened on December 2, 1833. They were held concurrently with the 1832 presidential election, in which Democrat[c] Andrew Jackson was re-elected. The congressional reapportionment based on the 1830 United States census increased the size of the House to 240 seats.

Elected Speaker

Andrew Stevenson
Jacksonian

The Jacksonians[c] gained 17 seats, picking up several new seats in districts that were created by the reapportionment, with the rival National Republican Party losing three seats.

Economic issues were key factors in this election: Southern agricultural districts reacted angrily to the passage of the Tariff of 1832, which led to the Nullification Crisis. President Andrew Jackson and the Jacksonians showed a distrust for the banking sector, particularly the central Second Bank of the United States, which was strongly supported by the rival National Republican Party.[d]

The third-party Anti-Masonic Party, based on anti-Masonry, gained eight seats, and Nullifier Party, a John C. Calhoun-led states' rights party that supported South Carolina in the Nullification Crisis, picked up eight of the nine representatives in South Carolina's delegation.

The House initially elected Andrew Stevenson as Speaker, but he resigned from the House after President Jackson appointed him as U.S. Minister to the United Kingdom: National Republican Representatives subsequently elected John Bell as Speaker over James Polk.

Vermont

edit

Vermont elected its members January 1, 1833, but two were elected late in the Spring of 1833. The 4th district's election in the previous cycle (1830–1831) went to eleven ballots, so its member wasn't elected until the 1832, near the beginning of this cycle (1832–1833).

Notes

edit
  1. ^ Not including special election and the few regular elections that went past this date for several ballots
  2. ^ a b There are discrepancies among the sources, e.g. Dubin, pg. 108 (and Moore, pg. 956–959) vs. Martis, pg. 92 (and "Party Divisions of the House of Representatives* 1789–Present". Office of the Historian, House of United States House of Representatives.): Dubin lists 145 Democrats (or Jacksonians, including 1 Independent Democrat), 60 National Republicans, 24 Anti-Masons, 7 Southern Rights or Nullifiers, and 1 "Unionist", while the latter sources list 143 Jacksonians or Democrats, 63 National Republicans or National Republicans, 25 Anti-Masons, and 9 Nullifiers. Figures used here defer to Martis and the party figures from the Historian of the House.
  3. ^ a b By this point, Jacksonians also started to be known as Democrats.
  4. ^ By this point, National Republicans were also known as National Republicans.
  5. ^ While Dubin (pg. 103) and Moore (pg. 956) indicate that Philemon Thomas of LA-02 was a Democrat/Jeffersonian, Martis (pg. 92) lists Philemon Thomas as a National Republican/Anti-Jeffersonian – figures listed here defer to Martis in this case.
  6. ^ Missouri held an election in 1832 for the first seat in its at-large district, and again in 1833 for the second seat in that district.
  7. ^ For plural districts, percent is based on assumption that each voter cast as many votes as there are seats
  8. ^ Changed parties
