In 1845, he moved to Knoxville and resumed the practice of law.

He was elected as the candidate of the American Party to the Thirty-fourth Congress, serving from March 4, 1855 to March 3, 1857. During that time, he was the chairman of the United States House Committee on Mileage. He declined to be a candidate for renomination in 1856, and also for a nomination as circuit judge.
