November 1832 CE
The Anti-Masonic party has practically superseded the National Republican party in New York since the election of 1828.
New York state assemblyman Millard Fillmore, elected to the US Congress in 1832 as an Anti-Mason, joins the Whig party, the anti-Jackson coalition.
By this time, however, the movement has lost its focus on Masonry, and has spread to neighboring states, becoming especially strong in Pennsylvania and Vermont.
