This list is arranged by chamber, then by state. Senators are listed by class, and representatives are listed by district.
SenateEdit
Senators were elected by the state legislatures every two years, with one-third beginning new six-year terms with each Congress. Preceding the names in the list below are Senate class numbers, which indicate the cycle of their election. In this Congress, Class 1 meant their term began in the last Congress, requiring re-election in 1856; Class 2 meant their term began with this Congress, requiring re-election in 1858; and Class 3 meant their term ended with this Congress, requiring re-election in 1854. The United States consisted of 31 states during this Congress.
Senators' party membership by state at the opening of the 33rd Congress in March 1853. The gray stripes represent Know-Nothings. The green stripes represent Free Soil.
^By some reckonings, Wilson is a Know-Nothing/Free Soil joint candidate
