I te tau 1844 i pootihia ia ki te senate o te kawanatanga, i mahi tonu ai ia tae noa ki te wa i whiriwhiria ai ia hei kaitono a te Whig Party mo te kawana tuarua i runga i te tiikiti me John J. Crittenden, rongonui mo te Crittenden Compromise. I wikitoria nga Whigs i te pooti whanui, a, i whakaarahia a Helm ki te kawana i te Hurae 31, 1850, i te wa i wehe atu ai a Crittenden ki te whakaae ki te whakatuu hei Kawana mo te United States i roto i te tari a te Perehitini Millard Fillmore. Whai muri i tana mahi hei kawana ka riro a Helm hei perehitini mo te Louisville me te Nashville Railroad. I haumi ia i nga mano taara o ana ake moni ki te kaupapa, a, i whakaponohia nga kainoho i te huarahi matua o te raina ki te hoko hea i roto i te kamupene. I te tau 1859 ka oti te raina, engari i te tau e whai ake nei ka wehe a Helm i nga rereketanga me te poari kaiwhakahaere mo te peka kua whakaarohia hei whakarahi i te raina ki Memphis, Tennessee.  Pātai: Ko wai i eke ki te tīkiti me Helm i te tau 1884?
Ko John J. Crittenden
