In the congressional election of 1858 , Martin was elected to the Eleventh constituency of Ohio in the US House of Representatives in Washington, DC , where he succeeded Valentine B. Horton on March 4, 1859 . Since he was defeated by his predecessor in 1860, he could only complete one legislative period in Congress until March 3, 1861 .
