SeiruvLzu COLFAX, the potinlar condi late ththe National Union .Republican party for e office of Vice-President, is, a native of New York City. Ho was born in Nort h Moore-st, March 23 , 1828, his father bavg died but a short time previous. With but limited means, his widowed mother could af foril to keep him at school but a short time, and at Coe age of ten he was placed in a mer amtile establishmetit others he remained for three years, contributing materially from his small salary to the support of both himself 7d mother. In 1838, he and his mother, in company with others, le ft their home in this city - and settled In St:,Toseph Condi, Indiana. Shortly after his arrival in the West be was Appointed Deputy County Auditor for St. Jo- Septa County, and employed his leisure hours ire the study of State law, in which ho Is said soon to have become unacknowledged expoun der. He read law pretty thoroughly during these leisure hours, but not with a view to adopting it as a profession. He had but tit tle idea of what grcat - benefit the inform anon was then gaining would pray° to him in after years. In 1845 he started a weekly journal at South Bend, the county seat of St. Joseph Comity, milled 77,43E1. Jostpli Valley Register, becoming its sole proprietor andsed ltor. A writer in the Indisuurpolis Journal tvirrects a mistake into which the public has fallen. relative to Mr. Colfax's connection with the printing business.. Mr. Lamina, in in his Dictionary of Congress, says: "lle was bred a printer." Re never was apprenticed to the printing business, and knew nothing of the practical part of the "art preservative of all arts" until after he had commenced the publication of the'Bedister. With his ready tact and quick perception, however, and great amiciety to economies, for his means were yet very limited,,he soon mastered the art suffic- 1 iently to "help out of the drag" but he never attained to any great proficiency in the bus iness, his editorial • labors, the business of the' office and other duties soon claiming his en tire attention. The Register prospered, and and soon bonnie a source of , profit to its pro prietor. It was abiy' edited, and was a model of courtesy and dignity. Every paragraph, hOwever small, seemed to have passed tinder the supervision of and to reflect the .mind and elevated thoughtsof its editor. Ile continued his connection with this paper until three or four years;ago, writing a 'regular weekly let ter for its columns during his first twir terms in Congress. ItAvas during the early days of the Registt.7 that Mr Colfax was laying the foundation for the reputation he has since at tained as a debater. A debating club was formed, which held regular weekly meetings, during the Winter season, and it was a rare, occurrence iutleed to Lind Mr Culfa!: is B i ~sFIIRE%B.
