John Parker Hale 1806-73, American politician, b. Rochester, N.H. He practiced law at Dover, N.H., and had remarkable success with juries. He was U.S. district attorney (1834-41) and a member of the House of Representatives (1843-45). His refusal to vote for the annexation of Texas caused his expulsion from the Democratic party. He then (1847-53) served in the Senate as an independent and was nominated (1852) for President by the Free-Soil party. Again (1855-64) in the Senate, he was accused of questionable practices as naval committee chairman, and he was defeated (1864) for reelection. He was minister to Spain (1865-69).
