In civil suits he was also very successful, and as pamphleteer and publicist was much es- teemed, his presentation of American rights and British aggressions, pending the progress of the war being notably well received. Plis local popularity, re- sulted in an election as representative in the Fifteenth Congress, wherein he found James Talmadge, Jr. , James W. Wilkin, John W. Taylor, Henry R. Storrs and other strong men as his colleagues in the New York delegation.
