The 1824–25 United States House of Representatives elections were held on various dates in various states between July 7, 1824, and August 30, 1825. Each state set its own date for its elections to the House of Representatives before the first session of the 19th United States Congress convened on December 5, 1825. Elections were held for all 213 seats, representing 24 states.

They coincided with the contentious 1824 presidential election. After no presidential candidate won an electoral majority, in February 1825 the House of the outgoing 18th Congress chose the President, John Quincy Adams, in a contingent election.[2]

The approach of the 1824 presidential election ended the virtually nonpartisan Era of Good Feelings and motivated major realignment. The weak Federalist Party collapsed and the Democratic-Republican Party abruptly, catastrophically split.

Though Andrew Jackson lost the contingent election, public attitudes toward the charismatic, famous Jackson mainly determined the new alignment. Partisans of Jackson often were called Jacksonians, by 1828 adopting the Democratic Party label. Opponents of Jackson often were called Anti-Jacksonians, coalescing under the leadership of newly elected President John Quincy Adams and soon forming the National Republican Party.[2]

Though both parties were new, and were not continuations of old parties, Jacksonians were more similar to the former Democratic-Republicans, while National Republicans were more similar to the former Federalists and also were political ancestors to the future Whig Party. Leadership of the National Republicans in opposition to Jackson later would transition to Henry Clay, whose support of Adams determined the contingent election.

Election summaries

[edit]

Representatives regrouped into Jackson supporters and Adams supporters (comprising the Adams-Clay faction in the contingent election), while supporters of William Crawford, whose ill health and retirement had indirectly helped trigger the realignment, divided between the two factions with 33 going to the Adams-Clay faction and 22 going to the Jackson faction.

Illinois

[edit]

Illinois elected its member August 2, 1824.

In 1824 a proposal was made to hold a convention to make Illinois a slave state. The Pro-Slavery Party was led by former Governor Bond and others, while the Anti-Slavery Party was led by Governor Coles and others. The election took place on August 2, resulting in Illinois voting against the convention and electing the anti-slavery candidate, Daniel P. Cook. Despite the failure of the plan to officially make Illinois a slave state, the state effectively continued the practice through laws that classified Black individuals as "indentured servants," which in practice made them slaves.[7]

New York

[edit]

New York elected its members November 1–3, 1824.

During this time in New York politics, two factions of the Democratic-Republicans existed: the Bucktails, opponents of Governor DeWitt Clinton, and the Clintonians, supporters of Clinton. The Bucktails were led by Martin Van Buren, who supported Crawford in the 1824 presidential election, though many members were not united in this support, especially after Crawford's debilitating stroke. In the contingency election, Van Buren was outmaneuvered by Clay and Adams, and the political machine he had worked to build broke down. Less than a year after this defeat, Van Buren restored unity within the Bucktail faction and shifted his support to Jackson.[25]

North Carolina

[edit]

North Carolina elected its members August 11, 1825, after the term began but before the new Congress convened.

This election saw the brief rise of two regional factions within the Democratic-Republican Party: the Caucus and Anti-Caucus factions. The Anti-Caucus faction was opposed the existing nomination process, which included closed meetings, conventions, and caucuses, and ran candidates against incumbents who had been nominated by such systems.[28]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ In the case of the Anti-Jacksonians (aka. Adams Men), there were 72 "Adams-Clay" Democratic-Republicans and 15 "Adams-Clay" Federalists, for a total of 87 Anti-Jacksonians, in the U.S. House before the 1824 election.
  2. ^ a b The Jacksonians and Anti-Jacksonians were two factions of the Democratic-Republican Party (mostly) that parted ways in 1824. Each member of Congress chose an allegiance before the 1824 election was held, so changes only indicate seats gained by each faction during the election.
  3. ^ In the case of the Jacksonians, there were 64 "Jackson" Democrat-Republicans and 7 "Jackson" Federalists, for a total of 71 Jacksonians, in the U.S. House before the 1824 election.
  4. ^ n Vermont required a majority for electionecessitating an additional election held December 6, 1824.
  5. ^ n Maine had a majority requirement for electionecessitating additional elections held January 3, April 4, and September 12, 1825.
  6. ^ Massachusetts had a majority requirement for election, which necessitated additional elections held January 3, April 1, and August 1, 1825.
  7. ^ Run-off election for 6th seat held March 8, 1825.
  8. ^ Run-off election for second seat held November 25, 1825.
  9. ^ Full name not given in source.
  10. ^ a b c d e f Source does not give numbers of votes or has incomplete data.
  11. ^ In Massachusetts's 19th district
  12. ^ In Massachusetts's 20th district
  13. ^ In New Hampshire
  14. ^ Although a majority was reached in the second ballot, a third ballot was ordered because elections had not been held in Holland and South Brimfield.[citation needed]
  15. ^ a b c d e In New York's 20th district, Egbert Ten Eyck (Jacksonian) was initially declared the winner of the second seat. However, Daniel Hugunin Jr. (Anti-Jacksonian) successfully contested the election on the basis that 275 votes had been certified for "Daniel Hugunin, Junior" and another 195 for "Daniel Hugunin," and that those votes were intended for him. The House Committee on Elections concurred and the seat was awarded to Hugunin, who was seated December 15, 1825.
  16. ^ Source does not give complete data, but partial returns available in source suggest a very large margin.
