At the State election in November 1832, a very large Jacksonian-Democratic majority was elected to the Assembly, and six of the eight State Senators elected were Jacksonian Democrats. The 56th New York State Legislature met from January 1 to April 30, 1833, at Albany. The party strength in the Assembly as shown by the election for Speaker was: 99 for Jacksonian Democrat Charles L. Livingston and 22 for Anti-Mason John C. Spencer.
New York State Comptroller Silas Wright, Jr., was the candidate of the Jacksonian Democrats.
Silas Wright, Jr., was the choice of both the Assembly and the Senate, and was declared elected.
