Among the western members OF Con.
gress there are many men, whose history
would be as interesting as sromance. Ma.
ny Of them are men who have endured
poverty and hardship, in the most appal-
ling forms, but an indomitable energy has
carried them through il all. One of these
members, Mr.. Casey, of Illinois, has been
more frequently than any other member
in the present Congress, called to the Chair
when the House has gone into Committee
Of the Whole. A correspondent of the
Lowell Courier, gives the following sketch
oil this gentleman
"Mr. Casey was born in Georgia, and
raised in Tennessee. AT the age Of n, he
married. One year afterwards, with a
small family consisting of wife and one
child, while Illinois was territory, he sci
forth, with all he had of goods and chat
tells, slowed in pack about as big as a
two bushel basket, his wife by his side, his
child in her arms, his pack OH his back, and
Oh his lips these words ;-"Come, wife, |
have forty seven dollars in cash, and a
stout heart; don't you be down in the
mouth, for am going 10 be somebody"
Twenty three years ago he landed IN the
forest of Illinois, where he now resides
He settled in Jefferson County, about half
way between the Ohio and Mississippi riv-
ers. There were then but five families
within FIVE miles of him. ST. Louis, one
hundred miles distant, was the nearest
village where there was a store. With
his own hands he built his Log Cabin, and
in the swea, ofhis brow provided the where
with TO feed and clothc himself and family.
Twenty-three years have rolled away, du-
ring which period the change of the State
of Illinois has been as great as it has been
in the condition Of this early advenlurer.
He was first called to represent his neigh
bors in the Legislature lo years ago. He
then went into the Senate. lie was I'M
med;ately called TO preside over that body,
which he continued TO do for four years.
He was next Lieut.. Governor Of lha, State
for four years, and after that he was cal.
led to the station he now occupies eight
years ago.
During the whole period Of eight years,
including one extra session of Congress,
he has never been absent from the House
but day and half, and tina, was for the
purpose Of going to New York, a journey
which | (boarding with him at the lime)
persuaded him TO make for his health. Mr..
Casey's influence in the House is equal to
that of any other member. Corwin, of
Ohio, Profit Of Indiana, Crary, of Michi-
gan, and many other Western Members
are like Mr.. easy, sci f made.mcn.
