He was a delegate for Massachusetts in the Continental Congress from 1774 to 1776, and Lt. Governor of the state from 1780 to 1788.
Cushing declined re-election to the Continental Congress in 1779, but accepted election as the Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts in 1780 and held that post until his death.
Alexander, a good friend of Hassler since 1833, wrote him in February, 1841, that his concern for the Survey "is for the effect of the loss of Mr.
Hassler from the service of the Government...." Cushing attempted to apply the coup de grace when he added that he distrusted any mystery in matters of science, "in which concealment of any sort whatever was to his mind strong evidence of quackery." He finished by calling for a resolution to investigate the Coast Survey.
Cushing could never have had Hassler deposed on the matter of science; but his accusations against Hassler's character, if allowed to go unchallenged, could have led to Hassler's removal with the possibility of the return of the Coast Survey to the Department of the Navy.
