He was admitted to the bar in 1839 and began practice in New York City but devoted his time chiefly to literary work. At this time he was engaged with Park Benjamin, Sr. in editing The New World, a literary weekly, and at this time also he published a translation of Eugène Sue's The Wandering Jew. He moved to Hartford, Connecticut in 1847, and opened a law office. In 1849, 1850, 1859 and 1860, he was a member of the Connecticut House of Representatives. In 1854 he was elected Mayor of Hartford, Connecticut and served until 1858, and again from 1860 to 1862. At the close of the year 1861, he was appointed Colonel of the 12th Connecticut Infantry Regiment, and accompanied Gen. Butler's expedition to New Orleans. After the capture of that city he was detailed Mayor of New Orleans, and served with tact and ability until January 1863, when he resigned both military and civil position, on account of his own health and the health of his wife. Deming was elected as a Republican to the Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth Congresses (March 4, 1863 – March 3, 1867). He served as chairman of the Committee on Expenditures in the Department of War (Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth Congresses). He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1866 to the Fortieth Congress. In 1868 he wrote a life of Ulysses S. Grant, The Life of Ulysses S. Grant, which had an extensive sale. In the following year he was appointed by the President, Collector of Internal Revenue, and this office he held until his death, which occurred at his residence in Hartford on October 9, 1872. He was interred in Spring Grove Cemetery. Besides his Congressional speeches, Col. Deming published a Eulogy of Abraham Lincoln, delivered before the General Assembly of Connecticut, in 1865; an Oration delivered at the completion of the Monument to Gen. Wooster, at Danbury, Connecticut in 1854, and many other public addresses. These with his unpublished writings abundantly attest his great fertility of intellect; his personal power as an orator was equally remarkable. He received an LL.D. from Trinity College in 1861. {{yaleobit}}FamilyIn 1850 he married Sarah, daughter of Laurent Clerc, the first deaf-mute instructor in the United States.
