Although short lived "1848-1852", this third party sent two Senators and fourteen Representatives to the thirty-first Congress. *The main party leaders were Salmon P. Chase of Ohio and John P. Hale of New Hampshire. For the election of 1848 the Free-Soil party nominated former Democratic president *Martin Van Buren, who continued to be politically active and he ran a strong campaign by winning 11 of the 15 northern states. However Buren could not beat Taylor's strength in the South and Buren lost that election. Many anti-slavery Whigs did not join the Free Soil Party mainly of disapproval of the nomination of Martin Van Buren and because of this he won no electoral votes.
