The Anti-Masonic Party in Connecticut was opposed to the platform of the National Republicans, and combined its forces with the Democrats in this race, supporting a ticket of Willey for governor and John M. Holley of Salisbury for lieutenant governor. Willey had previously been affiliated with the Anti-Jacksonians during his term in the United States Senate.

This was the last time the National Republican Party would win a Connecticut gubernatorial election.
