His success led him to purchase another regional news journal, and he was chosen to edit the American Citizen, the Genesee Anti-Slavery Society journal. He was a member of the New York Assembly and represented Wyoming County in the New York Constitutional Convention of 1846. Young became involved with the underground railroad and was a noted abolitionist. He wrote on American history and government, and his textbooks were widely used and went through many editions.
