The romance of his life culminated when on January 7, 1806, he marriea Anne Phebe Charlton Key, sister of Pranels Scott Key, the future author of “The Star Spangled Banner,” a friend with whom he had read law.

From 1816 to 1821 he served in the State Senate, where he drew up many of the bills passed during that period. In 1819 he again challanged popular sentiment by defending Jacob_ Grube: a Methodist minister from Pennsyl- vania, who in a public utterance had condemned slavery ‘and Wwas subse. quently indicted as an inciter of re- bellion among the Negroes. Removing to Baltimore in 1823, he became the acknowledged leader of the bar in that ecity. In 1827 he was chosen attorney general of Maryland, a post which he retained until 1831, when he was named Attorney General of the United States in the cabinet of Presi- dent Jackson. He was a national figure at last, and it was not long before his name was on the lips of the people in even the most remote backwoods of the country, Counseled With Jackson. As Jackson's most trusted eollnulm'.‘ he inevitably became involved in the President’s determination to remove the Government deposits from the United States Bank. To effect this purpose he was_transferred by Jackson to the post of Secretary of the Treasury in Sep- tember, 1833. There followed his ap- pointment one of the bitterest congres- sional battles of the century. Henry Clay led the opposition. All Winter the debate raged.
