Each state set a date for its elections to the House of Representatives before the first session of the 33rd United States Congress convened on December 5, 1853. The Democrats increased their House majority, while the Whigs underperformed. Effects of the Compromise of 1850 temporarily reduced sectional tensions. Both major parties aimed to unify around the 1852 Presidential campaign, but only the Democrats succeeded, electing compromise candidate Franklin Pierce, a Northerner favorable to Southern interests, to the Presidency. Two small parties, the Union and Southern Rights parties, collapsed, while the Free Soil Party, opposing slavery in the Western territories, retained four seats. One Independent, Caleb Lyon, was elected from New York. Election summaries Following the 1850 census, the House was reapportioned. In the initial apportionment bill, the number of seats was unchanged,9 432 but later one seat was added to California's delegation, increasing the size of the House to 234 seats.10 25 + ↓ 158 4 1 71 Democratic FS I Whig State Type Date Total seats Democratic Free Soil Whig Others Seats Change Seats Change Seats Change Seats Change Seats Change Iowa Districts August 2, 1852 2 1 1 0 1 1 0 Missouri Districts August 2, 1852 7 2 3Includes one Benton Democrat 1 0 4 1 0 Vermont Districts September 7, 1852 3 1 0 1 0 3 0 Maine Districts September 13, 1852 6 1 3 2 0 3 1 0 Florida At-large October 5, 1852 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 Indiana Districts October 12, 1852 11 1 10 2 0 1 1 0 Ohio Districts October 12, 1852 21 12 1 2 1 7 2 0 Pennsylvania Districts October 12, 1852 25 1 17 2 0 8 1 0 California At-large November 2, 1852(Election Day) In 1845, Congress passed a law providing for a uniform date for choosing presidential electors (see: Statutes at Large, 28th Congress, 2nd Session, p. 721).
