The five Republicans endorsed by the American Party had an easy victory, three of the four Democrats endorsed by the American Party struggled to win in a very tight race, only Elderkin missed the mark by 590 votes out of more than half a million cast.

23 Republicans and nine Democrats were elected to a two-year term (1860–61) in theNew York State Senate.
