National Republican Governor Levi Lincoln Jr. was re-elected to a ninth term in office over Democrat Marcus Morton and Anti-Mason Samuel Lathrop. General election Candidates Samuel Lathrop, former U.S. representative and state senator from West Springfield (Anti-Masonic) Levi Lincoln Jr., incumbent governor since 1825 (National Republican) Marcus Morton, associate justice of the Supreme Judicial Court, former acting governor and nominee since 1828 (Democratic) Campaign The Anti-Masonic Party, which was now controlled by former Democrats, was growing in strength. The party positioned itself in opposition to Henry Clay, a Mason and the National Republican presidential candidate, by declaring him "far behind the ordinary standard of morals" with "no virtuous example in his private life." This created a conundrum for Anti-Masonic nominee Samuel Lathrop, a friend of Clay.Political Changes in Massachusetts, 1824–1848 Darling Arthur B. 1925 Yale University Press New Haven, Conn. https://archive.org/details/politicalchanges00darl/page/100/mode/2up 100–03 Democratic candidate Marcus Morton, who had campaigned actively in the preceding three elections, sought to withdraw his name but was persuaded to stay on the ticket by party leader David Henshaw. Morton accepted his role as the state's advocate for the Andrew Jackson campaign but saw little hope of victory and privately expressed that he had no influence over anyone but his son Marcus Jr. Jackson's veto of the renewal of the national bank charter and his declaration against concentrated wealth consolidated conservative elements against him and may have buoyed the National Republican vote in the state. Results Lincoln and Henry Clay carried the state with more than twice the vote of their nearest competitor, with the Democrats finishing third in both races. Turnout increased, though this time with most of the new votes going to the National Republicans and Democrats. 1832 Massachusetts gubernatorial electionMA Governor, 1832 https://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=232768 OurCampaigns 17 May 2021 National Republican Party Levi Lincoln Jr. (incumbent) 33,946 52.86% 1.06 Democratic Party (United States) Marcus Morton 15,197 23.66% 3.11 Anti-Masonic Party Samuel Lathrop 14,755 22.97% 2.04 327 0.51% 0.01 64,225 100.00% See also 1832 Massachusetts legislature References Governor 1832 Massachusetts Category:November 1832
