His father, Joseph, was a representative in congress from 1825 till 1829, and a friend of Daniel Webster. The son was graduated at Dartmouth in 1835, supporting himself while in college by teaching. He then entered the office of Daniel Webster in Boston, won his confidence and friendship, and as soon as he had completed his studies became the law partner of the latter, which relation was maintained till Mr. Webster's death.
