It met in Washington, DC from March 4, 1857 to March 3, 1859, during the first two years of the administration of U.S. President James Buchanan.
The apportionment of seats in this House of Representatives was based on the Sixth Census of the United States in 1850. Both chambers had a Democratic majority.
