The 70th New York State Legislature, consisting of the New York State Senate and the New York State Assembly, met from January 5 to December 15, 1847, during the first year of John Young's governorship, in Albany.
- ^ Hammond says that this Assembly had 68 Whigs, 50 Democrats and 10 Anti-Renters. The vote on State officers indicates a division of 72 to 56, the "Anti-Renters" being aligned 4 to 6 with the two major parties.
