Henry Wetherby Benchley served as president of the Senate and Daniel C. Eddy served as speaker of the House. "Know-Nothings won all 40 state Senate seats and all but three of the 379 state House seats in 1854, in addition to the governorship.... Once in power, the Know-Nothings passed legislation to deport poor or mentally ill Irish residents; to 'inspect' Catholic schools and convents; and to order daily readings from the Protestant Bible in public schools." On May 9, 1855, Joseph Hiss became the first Massachusetts state representative to be expelled from the House. (en)
