It is because he feels remorse over tricking Jim. Huck sees that Jim is smart because Jim caught him in his (stupid) lie. Huck then realizes that he is a person, not anything below that.

Also, and more importantly, he lies to the boaters about having a dad with the small pox on the raft so that they don't take Jim away to slavery. Huck still thinks what he's doing is wrong, and that he's going to go to hell for it, but in the end he decided that Jim was worth it.
