Born in Salem, Massachusetts, Phillips graduated from Harvard University in 1819. He engaged in mercantile pursuits in Salem, and was a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1824 to 1829. He then served in the Massachusetts State Senate in 1830.

Phillips was elected as an Anti-Jacksonian to the Twenty-third Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Rufus Choate. He was reelected as an anti-Jacksonian to the Twenty-fourth Congress, and elected as a Whig to the Twenty-fifth Congress serving from 1834-12-01 to 1838-09-28, when he resigned.

Phillips was mayor of Salem from 1838-1842, but was defeated as the Free-Soil candidate for governor in 1848 and 1849. He engaged in the lumber business in Canada. He perished in the burning of the steamer Montreal on the St. Lawrence River on June 26, 1857, and was interred in Harmony Grove Cemetery in Salem.
