Its high tide occurred in the elections of 1830; by 1834 most of its leaders and voters were subsumed in the newly-formed Whig party and by the presidential election of 1836 Antimasonry had disappeared.

Hammond quotes Whittlesey’s comment that, “the results of the election astonished all—even the Antimasons themselves—and opened the eyes of politicians to the growing power of the new party.” The next year five Antimasons were elected to the senate and seventeen to the assembly, when for the first time one could speak of a legislative party.
