Ills place ofn ativity was Chatham,a villageof Cheater county,'near the . Delaware State line.

A law giving Jurisdiction to justices of the peace in all awe up to one hundred dollars; and an arbitration law was passed, although both were warmly opposed by the Governor. - The Infection became eo great that in 1805 the Demotzatic party. nominated Si mon Snyder as their candidate for Governor; but the Governors patron age was large, and all thebffice hold ers and the meat oftheir friends stood by the Governor; and the Federalists going with them, again elected Thos. feiLean asexecutive for a third term.

In tion to his tieing one of the working people he was the first Governor of German descent. lie received a good common education and possessed a great share of good common sense. His residence was 'Selinsgrovee, Union county, but he was origina lly of Lancaster county. During Governor Snyder's first term of office a di ff iculty arose be tween him arid James Madison, then President of the United States. This contention was about some property in Philadelphia, claimed by individ uals, and guaranteed to them by the State of Pennsylvania. This proper ty Mr. Snyder attempted to defend against the claim of the United States, but the controversy was not serious and was soon amicably adjusted by; I the State of Pennsylvania paying the Money to the Government of the Uni ted Statekk In this controversy the Governor lost and gained some friends but on the whole made fully as much out, of the defense of State right‘doc trine as any other has done sinco his d Av In 1811 Simon Snyder was trium phantly elected a second time. The next year the United States declared war against Great Britain, and in the struggle which followed all the ener gies of the Union were called into as In this emergency Governor Snyder proved an able aid to the General Government He devotsd all his energies to bringing_ out the full strength of the State. Volunteers re ceived every aid and encouragenfent the Governor could give them. At that time our nation was aweak one; our volunteers and drafted militia were poorly paid, only: receiving $8 dollars a month with rations, but - had tq find their own clothing. During the first two years of the war our land forces were badly beaten on the north ern frontier. Gen. Hull surrendered, Generals Wilkinson, inder and Smyth, were unforiunate leaders; and our troops were sent to Halifax, as prisoners of war. In all these tri als Gov. Snyder never !be a moment !filtered in his exertions for the good of the country, proving him worthy of the trust mnbied to him:Fortu nately for the country, we were ev erywhere successfnl on the ocean, and our navy lbrav cal elY humbled our proud and tyranni adversary: rry beat and captured the British fleet on Lake Erie on the 10th of September, 1814, and our Toting Generals were more fortunate than the old. Mc- Combs, Brown, Harrison ' and others,. did their country ' good service and cheered the hearts of the lovSre of our country everywhere. It hi almost a pity to report that a considerable part of the Federal party made a serious opposition to the measures of the Uni ted States Government during the heat of the war, rejoicing •at our de feats and denying our victories. They advocated the claims of Britain, and called a convention to meet at Hart ford, Connecticut. It is said they hp tended to resolve that the war must cease, but they had prudence or de enough not to publish any res olutions or proceedings. It was sup nosed that the vandalism of the Brit. Ish in burning Washington city, and every defenceless town on the shores of the Chesap&ke Bay, deterred the Hartford convention from publishing their proceedings. Be this as it May the party was badly disgraced by their opposition to the Government of the country at such a time. - In 1814 Simon Snyder was elected for the third term •almost without opposition. During his administra tion a difihrence of opinion arose be tween him 'and his friends in the Legislature relative to chartering a numbes of new banks (eight or ten). Mr. Snyder opposed it as a financial mistake, but the Legislature 1$ over his ,veto, and the new went Into operation - with more sail than, ballast; and, as the. Governor had predicted, they sobn'upset or run aground. ,In this tcansectfon',the governor gained much credit for hi° MS r".. 1.-n. ', 1 . 4", - I .

In 1817 William Findley. of Frank lin county ; WWl 'elected the fourth Governor of Pennsyl‘mile - Mr. Findley had assisted in forming the Constitution of Pennsylvania. He was the forth and last of the signers or that Instrumetit balled to the office of Governor. He was a gentleman of reputable attainments and posses sed great goodness of heart. - Indeed, it was with great difficulty that he could pronounce the word "no." it might In tenth be said of Gov. Find ley tNi"his feelings leaned 'to vir tues Ida*" but he was the Governor of the De mocratic .and the Fed / enlists model des to attacks on him. During his Inistration no particular measures of State policy were agitated; but e two opposing parties were about nay divided in the House . of Re p tatives, and this circumstance caused stormy sea; Mons. Mr. Findley had' been State 'Treasurer before he' was Governor, and a matter of about three hundred dollars In amount, said to have been. lost In counterfeit or broken bank notes; could not be fully exp and the opposing party stows= to prove a Maid out of the transac tion. It was a small sum, but the Federal party exerted every nerve to impeach the Governor, and would have succeeded, but two prominent men of their party refined to go against Mr. Findley, and boldly cast their votes for his tiomittal. These men were William Wilkins, of Alle gheny, and Richard .M. Coulter,of Westmoreland. In 11320 these gen tlemen cast their first votes with the Democratic tarty. Mr. Findley was again the candidate of his party for a second term, but was defeated by Joseph Heiner, of. Berks. The ma jority was small (1,400). Mr. Find ley was afterward elected to the Sen ate of the United States.. , ' Joseph Heisler, of Berks, Was elec ted Governor of Pennsylvania by a small majority In 1821 He was what was then called a third party,Demo erat ; but be was the candidate of the Federal :Duty. Ho was a wealthy eitizeg biriteuding and a gentleman Of good standing. During his admin istration a sum of money was legis lated to tikeJJnion canal, and as wOrk ended at Rending, the people were ready to charge the Governor with complicity In the transaction. Little else worthy of note transpired during Mr. Relater's term of office, Nat the end of which he refused to be again a candidate for Gubernatorial honors. He was the fifth Governor of the State. • John Andrew Shultze was! elected the sixth Governor of Pennsylvania in 1821 The Federal party had agaiii nominated a third party Dem ocrat. The Federalists and twice gained the election by nominating a Democrat, brit the thirdattempt fail ed, although they had chosen a warty gentleman and a fine scholar for their candidate. - This gentleman was An drew Gregg,of Centre county. In this election the Federalists of Pennsyl vania made the last desperate effort, and were defeated by a large majori ty. James Buchanan, of Lancaster, presided over a meeting in which the resolutions -commenced that " We as I:okra/ids, will support Andrew -..4fLtstroccinty, for Gov. of " e follute of the Mr. Shultste's Ministration was really a good one—hi. patronage was very large, owing to the natunil growth of the State, and the systent of internal improvement having Just been adopted and placed in dictum& of the Governor. This power was exercised with great prudence and good judgement.. It might indeed be said that Govern or Shultze called the best sense of the State around him—his officers every where were capable and honest. No Governor of Pennsylvania ever made better appointments, and it is cer tainly no dishonor to Simon Cam eron to have been charged with being his secret and confidential adviser. During Mr. Shultze's administra tion, the spirit of improvenient was abroad In the State. From the tide water to the lakes all were In expec tation of public improvements.- The Governor opposed the loan of a mil lion of dollars, but had to bow to the will of the people, and at the end of his second term we had borrowed six millions of dollars. The Legisl ature took the appointment of Canal Commissioners out of the C-hands of the Governor and placed it in their own—and economy was not the or der of the day with that body. In 1826 Mr. Shultze was re-elected Governor of Pennsylvania without any serious opposition,. and passed his lastlerm of office without much opposition. John Andrew Shuitze was in truth the last Democratic-Re publican of the old school elected in Pennsylvania. The two . political parties broke to piece; during Gov ernor Shultze's administration, and the strongest political organization I was formed out of the two that ever existed in the United States. In 18M none called themselves Federal ists. The name of Federalists had become odieus; but under the lead of cunning, sagacious men, they formed a new and powerful party called the Jackson Democrats. Every Federal newspaper in the State of Delaware, Maryland and the District of Colum bia Joined the party. Every Federal paper in Pennsylvania but three, turned Jackson Democrats. The threeexceptions were the 11. S.:Gat. of Philadelphia, the Village Record, of West Chester, and the Pittsburgh Gazelle. In Congress the Dem ocratif„Repub party had always nomfhated a Pr ident for the United States by a Congressional caucus, 'and in 18:N they nominated Wm. H. Crawford of Georgia; but it was soon co.ident that the party would not agree to this nomination. The party was grmtly divided. • The claims of Crawford, Adams, Clay, Calhoun and Jackson were all urged on the party. In 'this situation no choice was made by the people, in 1824. and John Q. Adams was elected by Con-' `greys. Mr. Adams' administration was a very pure one; but he was much persecuted, and in 1828. the Federaltind Democratic amalgama-! tion had become so well organized that Gen. Jackson was elected by a large maloriV- - - - -receiving fifty two thousand majority In Pennsylva nia. During the war, of 1812, . the Fed era's stigmatized Gen. Jackson as a "low blackguard without talents vir tue, or decency." ,They said that Gen. Adair planned the defenses of Orleans and constructed the fortifica tions—that Gen. Jackson arrived at New Orleans four days before the British attack, examined the works and pronounced them well arranged and defensible. The battle was fought and we had eight men killed— both parties keeping their .!ground. The British took two weeks to bury their dead, care for the wounded and re•embark. But out of thosecircum stances the Fedemllsts built a pow erful political party which lasted for nearly forty years, nod Was only broken bY a largo nutioritY of that W up arms against the party iStatos government. • -la 1829, George Wolf, of North ampton county,was elected the my enth Governor of Pennsylvania.' ISEI Established 1818 Mr: Wolf was in oia at Hoof, isti but in the new arrangement he was called to office as the linaGover nor'of the amalgamated ' (km Wolfwas plewant gcssan, maw teens in his manners friend and tbe. No one coUld find fault with his deportment, and hst 'appeared to know nothing of his enemies. In deed he appeared to think that he was the Governor of the whole State and not of a party; but lds anpeintl menta were strictly confined to the new ansalgamated party; the Federal sing receiving a ti dl share. In the selection of advisers Governor Wolf did not appear to possess the Judgment of his immediate p sor—the Governor was thought to be thr superior t 3 his advisees, both In wisdom and prudence. I • In 1832, Mr. WOW was reelected Governor fora second tend. • . The Executive patronagewas very large: the expendittues being nearly three millions per annum. Such a heavy 'disbursement was bard to manage with economy: The 'Gov ernor was a matioPronest Intentions, and he attempted to keep down ex penditures as much as possible, but his efforts were fruitless. At one time he sent a mewage to the Legis lature, saying that "prodigality and profusionn was the order of the day. During.his she years' administration the'permanent loans were increased sixteen millions of dollars, and the State debt rose twenty-two millions. Toward the close of Governor Wolfs second term it became appar ent that he could not be elected a third time. There was defection in the old Democratic Repubikan wing of the party, and a strong feeling against Freemasonry waste existence in almost every county in the State, and in 1835, Joseph Rltner, the Anti mason candidate, was elected, and Mr. Wolf defeated. During the ex ecutive term of Governor- Wolf, the I Legislature passed an act putting di rect tax on landed property. This tax was necessary to raise money to pay the Interest on the State debt, but the people did not like the meas ure. Joseph Ilitner, the eighth Gover, nor of Pennsylvania, was elected by the Anti masonic party in 1835. 'He is now the link between the living and the dead Governors—all his pred ecessors in office being dead. Mr. Ritner was originally of Cumb erland, and that place is now his residence. Hilt Is a self made man and deserves great credit for his advancement' in life. He called around him men of powerful talents, and no doubt good intentions, but they were better calculated to fight a party into power than .to sustain it prudently while there. - Thespuit of imporvement rather Increased than diminished during Mr. Ritner's administration, and new works were put under contract. The Brandi extension, the West eh extension and the Get tysb ,railroad were all surveyed and pat:under contract. The opera tions on , the two former were soon abandoned. The prosecution of those two:works was not judicious but the 'Governor and canal commissioners deserved credit for their exertions to complete the North Branch canal. It was a noble work, connecting the tidewater with thu lakes by a con tinuous canal through the Allegheny mltuntains. No other lathe United Stateshad been gut through the Al leghenies. In New Vat State the tidewater in the Hudson river Sows en • • ", a century the York. and Erie - atnal• was in great part through a plain country, but with little lockage. In truth, the Pennsylvania canal passing thro' the counties of lozumster, Dauphin. Perry, Juniata, Union, Northumber land, Montour, Columbia Luzern, Wyoming and Bradford, is a splen did work; and, although now some what overshadowed by railroads, it:still does ,credit to its projectors. At the commencement of Mr. Bit ener's administration the canal was finished to the head of Wyoming Valley, but still nearly one hundr ed milts throgh the moantains to ths New York State line Was untouchar. This part was surveyed and put un der contractand prosecuted vigorous ly, but at the end of the Governor's term of office it was in an unfinished condition. &bout thi Abou, tie time ca _r. Ritner's' , election the United States distributed a large surplus revenue among the States. The share of Pennsylvania was about four millions. This ena bled the Legislature to carry on the public works without making per manent loans. The party also char tered one bank with a heavy capital and increased the capital of another bank in Philadelphia, making a hea vy bonus with conditions to loan money to the State as might be re quired. The bonus_ paid by those banks was applied to the use of com mon schools. The terms of these charters were hard, and they even tually failed. During Gov. Ritner's administra tion the feeling against the Masonic institution was so strong in the State that nearly all the lodges closed their doors and the ceremonies for a time seemed to be at an end. But the Leg islature of the State raised a commit tee of investigation into the evil ten dency of Masonry, and summoned the officers of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania before its bar to give testimony as to their secrets. Those gentlemen came before the legisla tive committee, but positively refus ed to testify. 'They were threatened with' imprisonment for contempt, but they resolutely refused to give evidence. This action of the Legis lature was thought by many to be persecution, and although the matter was dropped it evidently weakened the 'Anti-sonic party in the State. During Gov. Ritner's term of office no standing loans were made. The State tax was taken off and the inter est of the State debt paid. Gov. Rit ner was a candidate for the office of Governor a second time in 1838, but was defeated by David R.Porter. Mr. Hither was an Old School Democrat. In 1838 David R. Porter was elect ed the ninth Governor of Pennsylva nia. He was the son of Gen. Andrew Porter, a highly respectable officer of the Revolution. The whole family were Democrats, andlamous for the number of offices they held. Per haps no family in the United States held more offices than the Porter hun ily, and but one individual of that stock, in Pennsylvania or Maryland, belonged to the Federal side, and he went over to Canada during the war of 1812. During Gov. Porter's ad ministration a great financial crisis took place in the Union, and Penn sylvania, with her heavy debt, was badly prepared for it. Martin Van Buren, thnPreside.nt of the United States, istsigreed to call an extra ses sion of Congress to devise MOWS to carry the National Government thro' the year. In this State of things Gov. the sale of all State and the resumption of the State t P h o:ttr ap rr anmdmenbriddedge docks ef the tax, all of which was complied with by the Legislature. This wOOI4 not all do. The payment 'of the interest on the State debt was postponed, and the State credit was bed at home and worse abroad. The English bond hOlders In general, and Sir Sidney Smith in particular, were loud in de nunciation of our conduct., Indeed, they threatened war to make Penn sylvaniacomply with her obligations. There was no specie In Circulation and our change was made of corporation, or individual notes.

Johnston, Governor of the State, was the originator of this measure, and gained much credit for his financial knowledge. During this crisis a stay law .was =I postponing 'the collection of on - certain - cooditiona. The prosecution of the public works were all stopped. This finanelal crisis hap pened In time of profound peace and agricultural prosperity. A. State convention held in lirki tittered the Constitution confining the Governor of the State to two tamer and at the end of Governor constitutioual term In 1844, he was succeeded in office by Francis •R. Shrink. In 1844 Francis It. Shenk was eke , ted the tenth Governor of Penmylva- Ma. Governor Findley was father in-law to Governor Shank, and • the descendants have. the blood of two Governors conning through their veins. Mr. Shenk was a man of comman ding appearance, much shove the common height, and very erect, lie was originally of Berke, but had long been a citizen of Dauphin coun ty. Ile was for n quarter of a centu ry clerk to the Legislature, and for takers' years clerk to thetnnal Com missioners. Mr. Shenk was like an Index to the proceedings of the Leg islature, end his mutterers treatment to mem bers of that body made him friends ail over the. State. Few members of the Legislature left with out feeling that they were under ob ligations to Mr. Shenk. Gov. Shenk was deficient in self confidence—ho was more of a politician than a statesman, and tread very steadily In the f ps of the party. During his administration the payment of the interest due by the State was re• sumed. . . • Gov. Shank died before the term for which be waselected expired, but finding death approaching he resign ed his dffice and did not die a Gov ernor. He was succelledby William F. Johnston,Prosklent of the Senate who served 'as 'Governor until tho next general election. In 1848 William F. Johnston was elected Governor of Pennsylvania. lie was the eleventh State Governor. His administration was considered f. Much credit was given him ml i ds management of the financial affairs of the State. At fix) com mencement of his adminlah•Won the State debt was over forty millions, having been increased eighteen mill ions, in the last nine years. The in terest of thja large sum was regularly paid. • In 1851 William Bigler, of Clear field Co. was elected tMtwelfth_Gov ernor of Pennsylvania. Me iiin istration was a very quit one, with out anything transpiring worthy of note. Mr. - Bigler deserved credit for hil advancement In life, being a self made man. After Mt. Bigier's terns expired as Governor, he was elected United States Senator for eno term. In 1854 James Pollock, of North umberland,waselected the thirteenth Governor dt Pennsylvania. Mr, lPolicaldWas sleeted ea the Whig am ' • 1111114151160401 - 4 11.. In. elected by a coin Ina • • • dream stancea so curious that they are worth an explanation. In general, the amalgamated Democra: 3 .l 3 caarty had about twenty thousand ority over their opponents. At t election, they. were left forty thousand In the minority. This was truly a sweep ing change, and Democratic 'orators were puzzeled to explain it.. They said the Whigs bad done this by meanly awing themselves " Know Nothings," but all acquitted a large portion of the respectable Whigs from joining in the scheme. They admitted .10,000 majority, and a large portion of the Whigs not voting with the majority. Now the question arisen, where did this vote come from? They were not fraudulent votes; where did they come from ? Plainly, from the Democratic party. It was a Democratic movement of disaffec tion. They were all Democratic votes, given for some good cause or :strong reason. It is ridiculous to charge the Whigs with increasing sixty thousand by changing their name. The explanation is plain. A num ber of Democrats, in Philadelphia, formed a Native American party.— Those men complained that finclgn era received nearly all the offices and rich contracts in the gift of the party; and Gledrge W. Woodward, an active young Democrat of Luzern() county, in the convention to alter and amend the Constitution of the State, made a powerful Native American speech. In this he declared be did not think a foreigner ought to have the right of votingin Pennsylvania. This was , a long, able and well digested speech , i delivered by an ardent young J • °- crude member of the State conven tion, after he had lifted his hand and sworn in the presage of the most High to faithfully perform his duty. This speech was bold Native Ameri canism, and the Hon. Geo. W. Wood ward may be said to be one of the strangest speakers of that party.— Surely this was not a Whig trick. But another powerful feeling ope rated on the people. Forty _millions of dollars had been expended by the State. Almost princely fortunes had been made in Pennsylvania by con tractors and this almost entirely by foreign'Roman Catholics. But one solitary foreign Protestant bad re ceived a contract on the public works, and he made but Bttk3 money. It was noticed that this chug of foreign ers voted what they called Democrat ic votw, and it was believed that the rich lobe, and a great number of of fices, were given them as a reward for their votes. This bad always been thought a delicate suit, but the truth should always be fearlessly told. • Daring Governor Pollock's admin istration the main line of the works from Philadelphia to gr c Plus burg was sold to • the Pennsylvania railroad compa n y for nine millions of dollars, ' This work had been very unproductive to the State, and the sale Judicious set and highly beneficial to the people of Pertneyllnie nia. It laid the ground work of tho reduction of the State debt. and re moved the cause of mix% contention Ifnot of corruption, in the State. The terms of the contract have been faith fully with by the purchas ers. At the end of his neat term Gov. Pollock refused to be again a candi date. It may in truth be meld he Made a good Governor. In 1857 William F. Packer, of Ly coming county, was elected the four teenth Governor of -Pennsylvania, Mr. Packer was a gentleman of re spectabie accpdrements,,,and possess, ed some miewility of thowht. Nothing worthy of Ws transpired during the administration of Gov. Packer except the transfer of all the remaining canals of the State to the Sunbury and Erie railroad company. The works thus disposed of were nearly of the mine length of those sold to the Pennsylvania railroad company and about as productive tt Cbncluded on fourth page.
