See also:HALE, See also:JOHN See also:PARKER (1806–1873) , See also:American statesman, was See also:born at See also:Rochester, New See also:Hampshire, on the 31st of See also:March 18o6. He graduated at See also:Bowdoin See also:College in 1827, was admitted to the New Hampshire See also:bar in 183o, was a member of the See also:state See also:House of Representatives in 1832, and from 1834 to 1841 was See also:United States See also:district See also:attorney for New Hampshire. In 1843–1845 he was a Democratic member of the See also:national House of Representatives, and, though his See also:earnest co-operation with John See also:Quincy See also:- ADAMS

Adams in securing the See also:repeal of the " gag See also:rule " directed against the presentation to See also:Congress of See also:anti-See also:slavery petitions estranged him from the leaders of his party, he was renominated without opposition. In See also:January 1845, however, he refused in a public statement to obey a See also:resolution (28th of See also:December 1844) of the state legislature directing him and his New Hampshire associates in Congress to support the cause of the See also:annexation of See also:Texas, a Democratic measure which Hale regarded as being distinctively in the See also:interest of slavery. The Democratic State See also:convention was at once reassembled, Hale was denounced, and his nomination withdrawn. In the See also:election which followed Hale ran independently, and, although the Democratic candidates were elected in the other three congressional districts of the state, his See also:vote was large enough to prevent any choice (for which a See also:majority was necessary) in his own. Hale then set out in the See also:face of apparently hopeless odds to win over his state to the anti-slavery cause. The remarkable See also:canvass which he conducted
is known in the See also:history of New Hampshire as the " Hale See also:Storm of 1845." The election resulted in the choice of a legislature controlled by the Whigs and the See also:independent Democrats, he himself being chosen as a member of the state House of Representatives, of which in 1846 he was See also:speaker. He is remembered, however, chiefly for his See also:long service in the United States See also:Senate, of which he was a member from 1847 to 1853 and again from 1855 to 1865. At first he was the only out-and-out anti-slavery senator,—he alone prevented the vote of thanks to See also:General See also:- TAYLOR
