After retiring from the ministry, he became a political journalist, reporting on, and participating in the events culminating in the Dorr War in 1842. He opposes Norman Warner, who is a Whig in Berlin, Ct therefore he is leaving the Whig party, and joining the Democratic party in his opposition to Mr Warner's firm grip over the town of Berlin.
