Alexander Sheldon
(Dem.-Rep.) was again elected Speaker
, without opposition.
On February 5, the Assembly passed a bill (vote 50 to 42) to re-appoint David Thomas
(Dem.-Rep.) as New York State Treasurer
in place of Abraham G. Lansing
(Fed.). The Senate concurred on February 8 by a vote of 19 to 5.
The main political controversy during this session was the chartering of the Bank of America with a capital of $6,000,000. The bankers offered to pay a bonus of $600,000, to be divided as follows: $400,000 to the Common-School Fund, $100,000 to the Literature Fund and $100,00 to the State Treasury if during the next 20 years no other bank would be chartered. Besides, the bankers offered a loan of $1,000,000 to the State at 5% interest p.a. to be used for the Erie Canal
construction; and a loan of $1,000,000 at 6% interest to the farmers who were losing money because of the Embargo
. State Treasurer David Thomas
and Solomon Southwick were the main lobbyists for the chartering; Gov. Daniel D. Tompkins
, Supreme Court Justice Ambrose Spencer
and State Senator John Tayler
"declared open war against the bank." Lt. Gov. DeWitt Clinton
told his brother-in-law, and close political ally of many years, Ambrose Spencer that he would, if necessary, vote against the charter (as Lt. Gov. he had only a casting vote
in the Senate), but that he would not make the issue a question of party discipline, leaving it to the Democratic-Republican legislators to vote as they thought fit. This led to Spencer's joining the Anti-Clintonians shortly thereafter. The Assembly passed the bill to charter the bank in second reading with a vote of 52 to 46. The bill then went to the Senate, and a motion was made to reject it, but was voted down 15 to 13. To avoid the bill going through, on March 27, Gov. Tompkins prorogued the Legislature until May 21, saying that proof had been furnished that the bankers had bribed legislators to vote for the charter. After the Legislature met again, the bank charter was passed in the Senate by a vote of 17 to 13, and in third reading in the Assembly by a vote of 58 to 39. In 1813, the bank asked the Legislature to cancel the payment of the bonus, which had been a condition sine qua non
of the charter, and only $100,000 were actually paid into the Common School Fund.
On May 28, a caucus of Dem.-Rep. legislators, presided over by James W. Wilkin
, nominated DeWitt Clinton
for U.S. President. On June 18, the United States declared War against Great Britain
, and the Legislature adjourned on the next day.

Background
Under the provisions of the New York Constitution of 1777, amended by the Constitutional Convention of 1801, 32 Senators were elected on general tickets in the four senatorial districts for four-year terms. They were divided into four classes, and every year eight Senate seats came up for election. Assemblymen were elected countywide on general tickets to a one-year term, the whole Assembly being renewed annually.In 1797, Albany was declared the State capital, and all subsequent Legislatures have been meeting there ever since. In 1799, the Legislature enacted that future Legislatures meet on the last Tuesday of January of each year unless called earlier by the governor.
In 1808, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties had been split from Genesee County, but no county governments were organized for some time. In 1811, both counties were joined with Niagara in one Assembly district with 1 seat.
