After serving seven terms in the House, Joseph was appointed Justice of the Peace & Quorum in January 1829. His political tradition defined the forces of moderation, which became his son Charles' constitutional principle. Joseph was supporting the last stand in New Hampshire on behalf of government by gentry. He gained the conviction that the democratic process could only survive if wedded to the rights of property and the protection of commerce. This was the political legacy that he passed on to his son Charles.
