Blakely was declared elected to the New York State Senate (18th D.), and took his seat at the opening of the 77th New York State Legislature, but his election was contested by Democrat Adam Storing. Blakely resigned his seat on March 14, 1854, acknowledging that Storing's claim was justified, and Storing was seated.
He married Lavernia C. Bundy (1819–1886), and their son Tilley Blakely (1860–1938) was appointed as District Attorney of Otsego County in 1896.
He and his wife were buried at the Evergreen Cemetery in Otego.
