judge lawyer politician senator author
Niles, John Milton was born on August 20, 1787 in Windsor, Connecticut, United States. Son of Moses and Naomi (Marshall) Niles.
Born in Windsor, Connecticut, Niles received a common school education and studied law.
He was admitted to the bar in 1817 and practiced in Hartford, Connecticut. There, he also established a newspaper, the "Hartford Weekly Times", in 1817, where he worked as an editor as well as a contributor for over thirty years. He published two other papers, the Gazatteer of Connecticut and Rhode Island, and The Independent Whig.
Niles became active in Democratic Party politics and a supporter of states-rights doctrines.
In 1820 he was appointed an associate judge in the Hartford County Court, but didn"t start until 1821. He served until 1826 when he was elected to the Connecticut House of Representatives.
Unsuccessful for reelection, he continued practing law. In 1829 he was appointed Postmaster of Hartford, serving this position until 1836.
He failed to be elected to an at-large Connecticut Representative seat.
After the demise of Whig senator Nathan Smith, Niles was elected as a class one senator to fill his seat, serving from 1835 to 1839. There, he served as chairman of the Committee on Manufactures in the 24th and 25th congresses. He was not a candidate for reelection.
In 1839 and in 1840 he was the unsuccessful Democratic candidate for Governor of Connecticut, losing to William West. Ellsworth.
Appointed United States Postmaster General by President Martin Van Buren in 1840, Niles served until the end of the administration in 1841. As Postmaster General he ended delivery of mail on Sunday.
He returned to the Senate as a class three senator in 1844. He was actually elected in 1842 and was to start in 1843, but ill health and a credentials challenge kept him out until the next year.
When he was a United States Senator, in 1845, he cast the deciding vote admitting Texas to the Union as a slave state, though he was against slavery.
He served from March 4, 1843, to March 3, 1849, and declined for reelection. He spent some time in Europe from 1851 to 1852. In his latter years, Niles pursued horticulture.
He had no children and bequeathed his library to the Connecticut Historical Society and left $70,000 in trust to the city of Hartford as a charity fund, the income of which he directed to be annually distributed to the poor.
He was Connecticut"s member on the original Republican National Committee in February 1856. Niles died in Hartford on May 30, 1856, (age 68 years, 285 days).
He is interned at town at Old North Cemetery, Hartford, Connecticut.
