After leaving Congress, he served as New Jersey Attorney General of New Jersey from 1850-1852, and was an associate justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court from 1852 until 1869 when he retired. He died in Bridgeton on March 11, 1883, and was interred in Old Broad Street Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Bridgeton.
