Subsequently, after a prolonged trip in Europe, he served one term in congress in 1849-'51, having been chosen as a Democrat. In 1858 he began to think seriously on religious subjects, and in 1864 was ordained to the Baptist ministry at Columbus, Georgia From that time until his death he was pastor of various churches, serving them without compensation.
