After the Anti-Slavery people got into power he was made Clerk of the Massachusetts House of Representatives.
Then he began to write his famous letters to the Springfield _Republican,_ which he signed Warrington.

They were full of wit and wisdom and displayed great knowledge of the best English literature.

He made many enemies and finally, by a concert among them, was turned out of office.

He lost his health not long after, and died prematurely.
He was quite unsparing in his attacks on anybody who offended him, or against whom he took a dislike; and he seemed to dislike everybody whom he did not know.

It was said of him that, like the rain of Heaven, he "fell alike on the just and on the unjust." He attacked some of the most venerable and worthy citizens of the Commonwealth without any apparent reason.
He used to call Chief Justice Chapman, one of the worthiest and kindest of men, Chief Justice Wheelgrease.
