He is sticking to his own morals instead of following what society considers to be "good" or "bad."
Huck is conflicted between doing what those members of society with a better upbringing consider to be right and what he feels is right. At this moment, Huck has two choices. First, he can choose to do the "right" thing and turn in Jim. He believes if he does this, he will no longer be a wicked "low-down" person and he will be able to go to heaven. Second, he could choose to "take up wickedness again" and help free Jim. He believes that if he does this he would be sinning against God and it would ensure that he would go to Hell.
By choosing to go to Hell, Huck, unknowingly, is admitting to himself that society's idea of right and wrong is different from his own. He is admitting to himself that Jim does not hold up to society's idea of black people--Jim is a human being deserving of freedom. Huck is also finally putting the well-being of another person over his own and believes he will literally burn in Hell for eternity for doing it.

Huck asked him to take all of his money because he knew that pap would try to take it all and waste it on whiskey. Judge Thatcher had Huck sign a paper to turn it into a transaction (most likely so that it would be harder for pap to get it for himself) authorizing Thatcher to "buy" Huck's six thousand dollars for one dollar.
