BIS EARLT LIFE AMD PIONEER EXPERI-
ENCE. .
Asa Packer was born in Gmton
township, New London county, Con
necticut, in the earlv part of the year
ioou. ilia lutitrr is aaid to De man
of strong sense, induslriuus, economi
cal and independent in thnractcr, yet
never very soccessful in business, al
though bis grandfather had been the
most proserons man in bis native
town, carrying on the business ol farm
ing, tanning and manufacturing of
shoos nl one and the same time. The
limited means ol his parents, together
with the lack of opportunities In the
neighborhood, prevented hi in from
acquiring much of an education, but
he made the best of bis time w hen the
district school was in session d urine
n w. .
the winter. As soon

w.u...... ... -
Su.nington where be remained until,
the death of the proprietor, w ho bad
reposed the utmost confidence in bis
business capacity ana integrny. . A
year was then passed upon the farm
of a John Brown, otherwise unknown
lo fame. Mr. Brown wa an old-fashioned
anli federalist politician, ard
from Judge Packer's early associations
wilh him his enthusiastic biographers
hnv traced his pr.?sciit Democratic
affiliations. A year at home then
intervened, during which he attended
school ; ami al mo ena oi u, ocing at
that time a,rtely seventeen years of
ae and n orphan, he wa ready to
start out into the world.
In It-"- he arrived in Susquehanna
county, Pennsylvania, with bis entire
outfit contained in the knapsack which
be carried on bis back. He appren
ticed himself to a carpenter, and fixed
hi. residence at Springville. As n
as he had completed bis apprenticeship
and become posse sned of tome means
of bia own, he purchased a small lot
of wild land on tb npper waters of
th Susquehanna, and settled down
npon it. j
BIS REIIOTAL TO TRI LEHlna TALI IT
When he abandoned hit farm, in
1SSS, iho country round about had
assumed a somewhat different aspect.
In the wildernraa he had built up a
comfortable home ; but daring the idle
winters be hsj frequently journcted
a hundred mile on foot, through the
rneccd country which slret'he be
tween the Susquehanna and the Lo
hiu'h, to tho nearest point where his
labor would commsnd a resily rush
reward. The evidencesof exhaustless
wealth which were just being devel
oped in the Iehith valley impressed;
him with the belief that a change oft
residence lo this locality would afford
a wider and more profitable field for
bis labor. Accordingly, at the ace of 1
twenty seven, he ag-iin tntnsrerred his
home, and aetlled permanently in the
Lehigh Valley, with a capital of but a j
few hundred dollar to start wilh.

HIS GREAT RAILWAY EXTERPH1HE.
AIout the year WM Mr. Packer
emcred seriously upon the task of au
eomplishing tho greatest business
achievement of bis career, Ihe build
ing of the Lehigh Viilley Ruilroad.
Allhongh the Lehigh Coal und Navi
gut ion Company bad extended their
operations until they bad assumed a
gigantic scale, be had striven in vain
to inrprcss the managers with the ne-cessity-of
increasing their lacilities for
reaching the market by the construo
lion of a railroad. In 1840 the Dela
ware. Lehigh, Schuylkill, and Susque
hanna Ituilroad Company, projected
by Kdward R. Biddlu, had obtained a
charter, its proposed route embracing
that section through which Mr. Packer
was so anxious to see a railway con
structed. No surveys were made un
til Iho full of 1x50, and when, in April.
1851 , but seventeen days of the limit
fixed for tbe commencment of the
work were remaining, not a shovel
bad entered the ground. Mr. Packer
then became one of the managers.
and on the same duv the bourd, to
avoid the annuling of the charter,
authorized the grading of a mile of the
route, near Allentown. In October
following, Mr. Packer became owner
of a controlling portion of the stock,
and subsequently submitted a propo
sition to build the road from Maucb
Chunk to Easton, a distance of forty
six miles, for a consideration, to be
paid in the stock and bonds, the name
of which ras now chanced to the Le
high Valley Railroad Company to suit
its extent and true field of work.
Mr. Pai-ker'a proposition was accep
tod, and he commenced work in No
vember, 1H52. Under bis personal
supervision it was pushed with great
vigor, and although he received only
slock and bonds in payment, and was
subjected to pressing financial embar
Assmcnts in consequence, yet his bnsi
ness reputation and the advances of
connecting roads whose interest would
bt greatly forwarded by its comple
tion, enabled him to finish and deliver
to the company the entire line in
September, lStiS. The success whicr
attended tho company from the outset,
laid tbe foundation of Mr. Packer's
prinoely fortune, which cannot be
more definitely stated than at some
thins; between fifteen and twenty-five
millions of dollars, la 1(15 be made
a handsome return for his wealth by
fonnding at South Bethlehem the La
high Cniversity, for the establishment
of which he imitated a magnificent
-i-v onroa in ex teli l, and a
round half million of dollars In money.

SMysyesterdny's Tribune In enforced
praise of the man :
'Asa Paiker, a aniurt Connecticut
boy of old fttsliioited Yankee stock,
It'll his nalivo Stale when seventeen
years old, with soma $10 in money
and clothingiif uliotit equal Vnluc, anil
brought it ii in isiisitneliannu county,
North IV-iiiisylvaiiu, wheta be up-
preutit'cd bit use If to learn the trudo
if cnnionicr and jjiiht, winch bo fol
lowed for some years thereafter;
marrying in duo seuon. and buyinf; a
tract of w ild land, which he proceeded
lo clear and till. Al length hu f u 1 1 i.-tJ
tip slakes nnd struck for Muuch
Chunk, tho licurt of the Lehigh coal
region, whence he ran a coul boat to
Philadelphia, then started a store, and
soon engaged extensively in buying
coal lands, building railroads, Ac, Jtc.,'
whereby he grew rapidly and enor
mously rich.- He is now worth at
least twenty millions of dollars, and
we believe he came honestly by them.
Though we do not bclonir l his thrifty
class, we appreciate tbem as useful
men, and believe the world is butler
lor their existence."
Though t-lnmsilv told, this brief
story of the facts of Asa Packer's lifo
to which, as will bo seen, it does in
suffiuieiit justice -contains yet enough
to demonstrate the mould and mottle
of the man, and thut ability and integ
rity in the discharge of hut own affaira
wlncu will guarantee fits worthy over
sight of those of his adopted State.
Nevertheless, in what lollowa lliia
reluctant nummary of Asa Packer'
circer, the comments are so double
edged as to wound the hand that
wrote them. In bis feeble effort to
break the force of his own statemei.t,
the Tribune proceeds lo remark ; 'Wo
don't like Ihe idea of making a Gov
ernor out of one whose chief distinc
tion is tho ownership of twenty mil
lions of dollars." Nor does tbe Demo
cratio party liko or propose to enter
tain any su h idea, Mr. Greeley. Tbe
"chief distinction" of Asa 1'aciier's life
is far from the accident of his wealth.
It rests in the sagacity and honor and
honesty with winch be attained thi
wealth, and upon ibe noble philan
thropy wilh wlii:lt he bas dispensed if.
Yet there is "au idea," there in a '-chief
distinction," which this trilio doe
like, and on the embodiment, and pos
session of which be bases his "personal
esteem, respect, and friendship." Tbe
man who slurs Asa Packer slavers
Daniel E. Sickles. Tbe o le is in his
view unfit to be Governor. The other
is proper to bo Minister to Spain and
tho iccipient of praise in tho TnliUKt
and of the greeting and praise of ita
editor. For the gentleman, Christina
nnd philanthropist, Mr. Greeley ha
suspicion, sneers and ahueo. For th
w horcmonger, mail robber, pimp, pan
derer, adulterer, murderer, defaulter
and routineer, Mr. Greeley bas "per
sonal esteem, respect and li iendnbip."
Mark tbo diflcnineo! Asa Packer
left home and embarked lo life with
his entire youthful savings netting
seventeen dollars. Daniel K. Sickles
began at about llio same ago with u on-
Ibutidred dollars, extorted from the
j"eduloua generosity of Peter Cooper.
Tina gonerosity bo abused by equan
durin 'I10 mo"'' w,,it h
in such licentious courses as led tho
man of whom he bad borrowed it, and
who would have willingly doubled tho
amount lo an honest debtor, to cut
him off forever. At tho period when
Asa Packer was "apprenticed to a
carpenter and joiner," Daniel K.
Sickles was a budding burglar of tho
mortgage of a trust estate, for the
theft ol which he stands indicted at
tho bar of his native city to-day.
When Asa Packer "had married in
duo season," Daniel . Sickle wa
living in open commerce wilh a public
prostitute, and is credibly reported to
have solicited for her from other such
attentions a he gat e ber himself. At
this stage, it was Packer the mccbaoio
and Sickles the pimp.
Wbilo Asa Packer was "clearing
wild
land and lillinir it." Daniel li.
Sickle wa robbing th Broadway
pos to dice and sitting check by jowl
with his and the public's trull 'in tho
Assembly chamber ut Albany.
While Asa Packer was amassing
wealth and distributing it wilh a dis.
crimination and abundance to which
mo uenelaciioiis of Mr. I'cabodva ona
,ud .ii, wuivn a aa j'acKcr
has done (o attract the distrust of Mr.
Greeley baa been the endowment with
half a million dollars of a university in
which the youth of bis State are gra
tuiloably educated In all the practical
sciences and in tho principles and
practice of a business career. As tbe
outcome of bis magnificent bounty,
the Lehigh valley is filled with hsppy
home to day homes whose heads or
whose sons he has educated, and to
whose success in lib) nd lo whoso
standing and eminence in this ago bia
ncncvoienco n.ts chiefly contributed.
Iniverisliod men and women, desti.
luto orphan children, deoervinie and
straggling charities, needy churches
of all Christian faiths, know ihe nama
of Asa Packer only lo bless it. Ho
I " maintained them from the rich
ilh which Heaven ban rewarded hi
i honorable and industrious labor, and
thousand aul.j.vls or his lavish
: cenemstty tihday rise unand call him

Among th act which Daniel E.
