In 1832 Hall was a successful Anti-Jacksonian candidate for the US House in a special election. He later became a Whig, and he served from January 1833 to March 1843. Hall was Vermont's Bank Commissioner from 1843 to 1846, and a Vermont Supreme Court Justice from 1846 to 1850. From 1850 to 1851 he was Second Comptroller of the US Treasury. In 1851 Hall became the federal Land Commissioner in California, responsible for settling claims based on Spanish and Mexican titles, and he served until 1854.

In 1861 he was one of the delegates to the Peace Convention which attempted to prevent the start of the Civil War.
