The <a href="/wiki/United_States_Whig_Party" class="mw-redirect" title="United States Whig Party">Whig Party</a> in New York was split in two opposing factions: the <a href="/wiki/William_H._Seward" title="William H.

At the State election in November 1850, a Whig majority was elected to the Assembly for the session of 1851. The <a href="/wiki/74th_New_York_State_Legislature" title="74th New York State Legislature">74th New York State Legislature</a> met from January 7 to April 17, and from June 10 to July 11, 1851, at <a href="/wiki/Albany,_New_York" title="Albany, New York">Albany, New York</a>. </p><p>Ex-<a href="/wiki/Governor_of_New_York" title="Governor of New York">Governor of New York</a> Hamilton Fish was the candidate of the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Whig_Party" class="mw-redirect" title="United States Whig Party">Whig Party</a>, but was also a close friend of <a href="/wiki/Henry_Clay" title="Henry Clay">Henry Clay</a> who was one of the leaders of the Fillmore faction in <a href="/wiki/Washington,_D.C." title="Washington, D.C.">Washington, D.C.</a> He was thus considered the only viable compromise candidate. The Silver Grays asked Fish to pledge his support for the Compromise, but Fish refused to make any comment, saying that he did not seek the office, and that the legislators should vote guided by Fish's known political history. Fish had earlier stated his opposition against the <a href="/wiki/Fugitive_Slave_Law_of_1850" class="mw-redirect" title="Fugitive Slave Law of 1850">Fugitive Slave Law of 1850</a> but was believed to support most of the remainder of the Compromise. Nevertheless, Silver Gray State Senator <a href="/wiki/James_William_Beekman" title="James William Beekman">James W. Beekman</a> declared that he would not vote for Fish for personal reasons, a dislike stemming from the time when they were fellow students at <a href="/wiki/Columbia_University" title="Columbia University">Columbia University</a>. </p><p>The State Legislature met on February 4, the legally prescribed day, to elect a U.S. Senator. In the Assembly, Fish received a majority of 78 to 49. In the State Senate the vote stood 16 for Fish and 16 votes for a variety of candidates, among them Beekman's vote for Francis Granger. After a second ballot with the same result, Beekman moved to adjourn, which was carried by the casting vote of the lieutenant governor, and no nomination was made. </p><p>On February 14, Senator <a href="/wiki/George_B._Guinnip" title="George B.
