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.
