When a youth, without education, or
the meals OF education, he was found
the supporter Of widowed mother,
aud family of helpless orphans sub
sisted by the labor of his own hands.
ln after years, the confidence Of his
fellow citizens placed him in the coun
ellis Of the Safe; where he became d S

of I,gisla ion. But the people
were not content that his labors should
be confined to the State. According

represented those who had known the
PIONEER YEoMAN, almost from his in

Al
democratic principles, all of which
point to him, as peculiarly qualified
