Content:  In the early 1840s, Wakeman became active in politics as a Whig, and he became a colleague of Thurlow Weed, William H. Seward, and Henry Jarvis Raymond, the leaders of the party in New York state. He was a member of the New York State Assembly (New York Co., 4th D.) in 1850 and 1851. From 1854 to 1856, he was a member of the city's Board of Aldermen. Wakeman was elected as a Whig to the 34th Congress (March 4, 1855 – March 3, 1857). With the collapse of the Whig Party in the mid 1850s, Wakeman was one of the organizers of the new Republican Party. He was an unsuccessful Republican candidate for reelection in 1856 to the 35th Congress and served as delegate to the 1856 Republican National Convention.
Title: 1840 United States presidential election
Content:  After the negative views of Freemasonry among a large segment of the public began to wane in the mid 1830s, the Anti-Masonic Party had begun to disintegrate. Its leaders began to move one by one to the Whig party. Party leaders met in September 1837 in Washington, D.C., and agreed to maintain the party. The third Anti-Masonic Party National Convention was held in Philadelphia on November 13–14, 1838. By this time, the party had been almost entirely supplanted by the Whigs. The delegates unanimously voted to nominate William Henry Harrison for president (who the party had supported for president the previous election along with Francis Granger for vice president) and Daniel Webster for vice president. However, when the Whig National Convention nominated Harrison with John Tyler as his running mate, the Anti-Masonic Party did not make an alternate nomination and ceased to function and was fully absorbed into the Whigs by 1840.
Title: Thomas McEwan Jr.

He was a member of the New Jersey General Assembly in 1893 and 1894 and served as Republican leader in 1894. McEwan was elected as a Republican to the Fifty-fourth and Fifty-fifth Congresses, serving in office from March 4, 1895 to March 3, 1899, but was not a candidate for renomination in 1898. After leaving Congress, he resumed the practice of law and also engaged in banking in West Hoboken, New Jersey, from 1904 until July 1, 1924, when he retired. He was controller of Jersey City 1906 and 1907. He died in Jersey City on September 11, 1926, and was interred in Flower Hill Cemetery in North Bergen, New Jersey.
Title: John Y. Mason
Content:  Mason was elected as a Jacksonian Democrat from Virginia's 2nd congressional district to the United States House of Representatives of the 22nd, 23rd and 24th United States Congresses and served from March 4, 1831, until his resignation January 11, 1837. He was Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs for the 24th United States Congress. Following his departure from Congress, he resumed private practice in Hicksford from 1837 to 1841.
Title: 1840 and 1841 United States House of Representatives elections
Content:  Elections to the United States House of Representatives for the 27th Congress were held at various dates in different states from July 1840 to November 1841. In a Whig wave, voters gave the Whig Party a House majority for the first time. Most Americans experienced the Panic of 1837 as a severe economic downturn. Its perceived mishandling by Democratic President Martin Van Buren fueled new support for alternative economic policies favored by Whigs of which voters had previously been skeptical. Collapse of the Anti-Masonic Party in the late 1830s also drove some third-party incumbents into the Whig Party. Newly elected members included Robert M. T. Hunter, Independent of Virginia, and Zadok Casey, Independent Democrat of Illinois.
Title: Ambrose S. Murray
Content:  Originally a Whig, after the party's collapse following the 1852 elections, in 1854 Murray was elected to the Thirty-fourth Congress as a member of the Opposition Party. (The Opposition Party was made up of former anti-slavery members of the Whig and Democratic parties, and opposed the extension of slavery beyond where it already existed.) In 1856, he won reelection to the Thirty-fifth Congress as the nominee of the new Republican Party, which had become the main anti-slavery party. Murray served from March 4, 1855 to March 3, 1859, and his committee assignments included Revolutionary Claims (first term) and Mileage (second term). In October 1855, Murray was a vice

He won election as governor in his own right as a Whig in 1836 and served from 1836 to 1841. Though the Anti-Masonic Party elected no senators and controlled no houses of a state legislature, Anti-Masons in state legislatures sometimes formed coalitions to elect senators and organize their chambers. Examples include: William Wilkins, elected to the Senate in 1830 by a coalition of Democrats and Anti-Masons in the Pennsylvania General Assembly; and William Sprague, elected Speaker of the Rhode 
Title: Anti-Masonic Party
Content:  The Anti-Masonic Party, also known as the Anti-Masonic Movement, was the earliest third party in the United States. A single-issue party, it strongly opposed Freemasonry; it later aspired to become a major party by expanding its platform to take positions on other issues. After emerging as a political force in the late 1820s, most of the Anti-Masonic Party's members joined the Whig Party in the 1830s and the party disappeared after 1838. The party was founded in the aftermath of the disappearance of William Morgan, a former Mason who had ultimately become a prominent critic of the Masonic organization. Many believed that the Masons had murdered Morgan for speaking out against Masonry and subsequently many churches and other groups condemned Masonry. As many Masons 
Title: History of the United States Whig Party
Content:  The history of the United States Whig Party lasted from the establishment of the Whig Party early in President Andrew Jackson's second term (1833–1837) to the collapse of the party during the term of President Franklin Pierce (1853–1857). The Whigs emerged in the 1830s in opposition to President Andrew Jackson, pulling together former members of the National Republican Party, the Anti-Masonic Party, and disaffected Democrats. The Whigs had some links to the defunct Federalist Party, but the Whig Party was not a direct successor to that party and many Whig leaders, including Clay, had previously aligned with the Democratic-Republican Party rather than 
Title: Thurlow Weed
Content:  protective tariff. By 1834, the Adams-Clay organization that had been the National Republicans was forming into the Whig Party. Most Anti-Masons joined the Whigs, regarding the new party as the best alternative to Jackson and Van Buren, and enabling Weed to assume a leadership role in a larger and more orthodox political organization. His Evening Journal became the main Whig newspaper, and by the 1840s it had the largest circulation of any political newspaper in the United States. Weed and other Whigs worked to blame Van Buren and the Democratic Party for the Panic of 1837. In 1838, he was one of William H. Seward's main
